Americans can handle complicated stories with ambiguity and no clear good v evil.

But there are loud camps of culture warriors who raise a fuss if it's not "safe for kids" and a whole industry of grifters who amplify this, because getting people angry improves their TV ratings and the political campaign funds.

There are a lot of managers in the arts and culture industry (editors, producers, museum directors etc) who are rarely rewarded but often punished for resisting the culture warriors.
This is almost exclusively what I've encountered in most of the "elite" engineers. It's frustrating because they're the ones saying coding and job hopping is easy. They're the ones in tech interviews who downplay your achievements.

In my experience, rather than leaving for another company though, they're often a C-suite favorite and get to start some new project (often it's whatever they want to do as long as it's remotely justifiable). They get it up to 80% complete so they can hand it off to another team to do the last 20%.

Since the project is whatever they want to do, they use very unusual languages or design choices that the new team has to pick up and fix. A lot of times it's whatever the big new thing is. (For example, expect statements like this: "Everything is obsolete legacy code now that Electron exists!" "No need to keep this standalone offline test database, setup shell scripts, or maintain the environment setup guide because Docker will automatically solve all of these cases!")

They continue getting new projects because these 1 or 2 people "did the project 80% complete in 1 month, and the last 20% is taking the handoff team of five at least 3 months to do."

Bonus points when it is expanded from some sort of hackathon, or some fake story about how some person completed the 80% portion over the weekend. In the former, all the connections and APIs are hard-coded and faked for their demo. In the latter, they had actually been working on this for the past couple months instead of doing their assigned work which made their official team look even less productive.

I was on the teams always picking up the last 20%, but I got moved onto the 80% team once. I was amazed at how much code I could blow through with time to spare when I didn't have to worry about all the edge cases and minute details.

Unfortunately, I got temporarily moved onto a company-wide prod support team which then got cut due to covid. Hooray.
That’s really outdated, referring to things in 2018 as occurring in the future.

> I always thought that proving a multiplier is correct is an interesting problem.

Induction proofs work fine. And 3SAT can check that your logic is equivalent.

The bigger issue is that multipliers are subject to runtime errors just like memory--so how do you check for that? The answer is that you build a multiplier that works on a smaller field (modulus) and then you check that against the big multiplier's result. If they differ, you flag.

I seem to recall that only Hitachi and IBM had processors that did this.
Travelling to Paris for ~ 15 years as I have some family there, I never, ever used a bus: either RER, regular subway or walking (I walked 10+ km several times). I found the experience of bus tickets for tourists a hit or miss across Europe, either big cities not friendly with tourists (some: especially inaccessible with people not speaking the local language, mostly in Germany) or positively surprised when things were a lot simpler than I thought in unexpected places. For public transportation, this lack of consistency is bad.

The problem is the people in the government with guns tend to work against the people (or at least certain people, last time I interacted with one of them they were serving me an absurd perjurious warrant). I trust the crypto-anarchists with guns far more than the fiat-authoritarians with guns.
If you have never seen a 10x engineer you either have never worked with truly talented people or you haven’t worked on actual hard problems.

There aren’t just 10 or 100x engineers , there are even infinityX engineers when you work on actual hard problems because some of those can only be solved by handful of people.
I think that's the gist - the table is confusing and complex even for a French speaker.

"Tourist" cards should always be "you can ride basically everything" and "more expensive than if you know what you're doing". I have no idea what a "day pass" on the Metro is, but tourists will gladly pay more for something they don't have to think about and works everywhere.
Productivity gains do not lead to increased worker benefit, they lead to increased owner benefit. Organized labor leads to increased worker benefit.
The thing about reading GNU mailing lists is that they're so, I don't know, intimate or something. They're freely available for anyone to read, but community members talk so openly on them that you feel like you're wire-tapping someone's living room.

I've had enough professional stuff on the line to need to pay attention to GNU over the years even though it always creeped me out a little bit, and I don't see how anyone can read them without concluding that Stallman feeling personally slighted was the reason he went on the crusade, and the software freedom thing was a reasonably comfortable paintjob.

He got picked last for Symbolics, the LMI people didn't really want him around either but were getting clobbered on defense contracts so they kind of couldn't turn down his code (he's a great hacker), and the rest is sort of history until Linus comes along right?
I think it's addressed in sources I've linked, there is a whole section describing who have access to data of US citizens. Additionally I don't think US administration will just let them do it (share whatever they want with China), if a deal will be made then US citizens will control who is and how that data is accessed outside US through Oracle, otherwise they would just be banned as national security threat.
And you may even use some 'serverless' DB services. Or not. The app is still serverless.

"Engagement and growth at all costs!" in fine form here. Lots of social media activity, lots of accounts created!

And while at some point, parents need to be aware of what's going on, some of the apps certainly seem to go out of their way to make it impossible - I was not aware of SnapChat's My Eyes Only folder, but I'm not surprised given that the app is for ephemeral photo messaging and has payments built in. The obvious uses there are obvious.
Responding to the edit: I don't think I could emulate it, but maybe someone with a different mind could.

Categorically, my mind isn't visual with things like math. It's more process oriented. Visualizing DFS on thought paths would probably be very short lived for me; like maybe I could imagine an outcome being possible but I wouldn't fluidly move down that graph node-to-node the way it was visualized that time. Another thing is that while I am very process oriented and use process to deal with things like emotions, I am still a very emotional human being. It would be tough to separate myself from that trait without some metaphorical grease.

LSD removes a lot of the inhibitions you have with respect to `self` or `this` in programming terms. Observations occur without judgement of yourself or others; it's just a pure observation. In fact, I might say that you actually learn to appreciate things differently. The nice thing is that those things don't stay; you have to choose to copy over the attitudes and incentives you found in your trip to make them stay. Thus, change is pretty incremental.
What? I'm not comparing the two. The point is that we don't need to do the admin jobs, and we need fewer people to farm the same amount of food, so we can just split the extra free time and maybe some people don't even need to have a job.

> After 10 minutes of googling about cards for tourists I have learned that you can only get a card if you live in Paris

That hasn’t been true for years. Anyone can get a pay-as-you-go card which you can top up from your phone or a machine inside every station. The only issue is that you have to buy them either from a counter in a station or from one of the numerous approved shops.

You can also pay the bus from inside. I don’t know what you are talking about. From the tone of your post, you probably didn’t bother saying hello and just started talking in English so the driver told you to get lost.
Alchemy is another expression, a symbolic language, as part of a larger mythological and psychological journey in Jung's life and inner world.

> Jung referred to his imaginative or visionary venture during these years as "my most difficult experiment." This experiment involved a voluntary confrontation with the unconscious through wilful engagement of what Jung later termed "mythopoetic imagination".

> From December 1913 onward, he carried on in the same procedure: deliberately evoking a fantasy in a waking state, and then entering into it as into a drama. These fantasies may be understood as a type of dramatized thinking in pictorial form... In retrospect, he recalled that his scientific question was to see what took place when he switched off consciousness. The example of dreams indicated the existence of background activity, and he wanted to give this a possibility of emerging, just as one does when taking mescaline.

> Jung initially recorded his "visions", "fantasies", or "imaginations" — all terms used by Jung to describe his activity — in a series of six journals.

> ..In 1957, near the end of his life, Jung spoke about the Red Book and the process which yielded it; in that interview he stated:

> The years ... when I pursued the inner images, were the most important time of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore. My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. That was the stuff and material for more than only one life. Everything later was merely the outer classification, scientific elaboration, and the integration into life. But the numinous beginning, which contained everything, was then.

The scope of this proclamation is really weird. It applies only to people who are currently US citizens or lawful permanent residents, minus any who were non-citizens not lawfully present in the US at the time of their offense.

To give two examples of how weird this scope is: (1) If someone was convicted of the offense a few years ago when they were a US citizen but has since moved abroad and renounced their US citizenship, the renunciation would prevent this pardon from applying to them. But, (2) if someone committed the offense while overstaying tourist status and had that all waived and forgiven for immigration purposes through the options that are available when marrying a US citizen, the criminal record would remain unpardoned even if they are now a citizen.

Do we know why Biden set these parameters, and if there's a chance it might get broadened to more reasonable boundaries?
I honestly don’t think it would be that bad. Let’s say your actually only in the machine for an hour or so during the height of your trip. To me, an MRI scan sounds almost like a deep house or techno beat. It might even be enjoyable. The worst MRI scans are ones done with contrast - having a thick needle in your arm really ruins the MRI experience for me.
> When there are daily ponzi schemes full of fraudsters who take people's money and run in an industry segment, it's worthy of distrust

At some point you have to untangle the ponzi and scams from the technology. We did this with the web and email already, and even Tor and the “spooky privacy web.”

Most of these scams are variations on “send us your tokens and we will do X.” This isn’t the case with Jack’s proposed protocol, so where is the scam?

A benchmark of everything across all of social sciences is extremely broad when comparing two different tests of mental performance designed to correlate with other tests of mental performance.

It’s like being shocked that resting heart rate and VO2 Max happen to correlate quite well relative to other health indicators. Yes they are testing different things, but not that different.
non-contiguous?
non citizen not lawfully present, to me means someone that snuck over, or talked thier way over lying about thier intentions.

I get an impression from that verbiage there would be such a class as non citizen >lawfully present< at the time of offense, that would qualify.
A lot of time the code runs in the browser, which is probably further from the database, and you still need an API inbetween.
I'm not sure where you live, but where I live, school funding is taxed and allocated at the county level. The county contains both extremely impoverished and extremely wealthy areas, in roughly a bell curve distribution. Schools are funded on a per-student basis within the county.
I suppose it's quite limited; in what situations would you be charged w/ simple possession federally? I'm assuming if you came through an airport with a butt or residue, and were particularly rude maybe.
Sure, at least until designs adapt to the new norm. 3D printed cartridges in electric-powered firearms would sever the dependency on professionally manufactured ammunition (and might even become professionally manufactured ammunition).

As for practicality, what's most practical in most circumstances is what's easiest to acquire.

This is not targeted at you but at naive JS developers. JS has millions of users, if they can deceive a good chunk of them with their marketing, then they can make money.

A little meta commentary: I'm seeing a lot of negative takes using the word "they" (so presumably these are from people who either haven't worked in a staff eng capacity, or have, but in dysfunctional organizations).

The intent of this article (as I understand it) was to help people navigate the emerging nebulous role that "staff engineer" was, particularly as it started to become a more mainstream concept a few years ago (whereas prior to it, the dichotomy was largely that senior was "the" terminal IC role and you had to transition to management past that).

Many engineers on the upper side of the senior spectrum have clearly been operating above and beyond what is typically considered senior level, but not in the capacity of a typical manager archetype, so this was meant to help people understand how to identify/categorize these people as well as help people understand what kinds of challenges to look at after you've become a "full-fledged" senior engineer. Resources are useful, whodathunkit.

My advice for those eyeing for a staff+ level would be to avoid making "hot take" categories, everyone can do that and if they're coming from a position of inexperience w/ the subject matter, there's a good chance it's a bad take. Instead, try to derive action items from each of the archetypes, and incorporate those into your work. A good point I heard is that no staff engineer qualifies as a single archetype exclusively; the role is usually a mix of all archetypes, with different people leaning more strongly one way vs another.

It's very easy to make sour comments like "oh staff people just spend all their time in meetings, what good are they for". It's quite another to be that staff engineer and have to balance technical depth acquisition, alignment among disparate groups and the multiplexing required to operate at high levels at both. It's easy to chalk it up to politics, but it's quite another to be able to visualize power structures as tools, and use them as such to accomplish large scale engineering goals. There are classes of engineering challenges that only really arise at the staff+ engineer level, and engaging with them can be rewarding in their own right.
Just to clarify, I'm not the original person you replied to, and we all agree about using parentheses.

mrguyorama just implied that the only reason you would check the operator precedence chart would be to shave a few bytes off the size of your source code, which has not been a reasonable reason to do anything for many decades, and yet C programmers seem to like to do it anyway.
The way it's supposed to work is that politicians do things their constituents want all the time, rather than token gestures just as the time approaches when they risk being kicked out if they're unpopular.
Also it’s not just about the nominal parties that win, it’s the composition of politicians in those parties, and RCV selects for more broadly agreeable candidates.
That's a semi-linear history merge.
Google has sort-of tried to support multiple accounts for at least a decade and it never entirely worked. Multiple Chrome profiles (or the equivalent in other browsers) is the way to go.
People in the EU have been constructing their own ammunition (including the now deceased developer of the FGC-9) using inert rounds and nailgun blanks or unregulated blank ammo as a source of primer material and powder.

There's also the Plasma Pump project which apparently is going to eventually become semiauto, fires printed+cast caseless rounds using an electric high voltage igniter (think: arc lighter), and the firearm itself is fully printed.
Research Deprioritizing External Communication
One of my favorite ev-psych hypotheses is that humans evolved to be so good at lying to themselves so that they could believably lie to others.
Worth noting that this is not really unique to this reactor, and the technology has been around for a while (including multiple basically fully functional demonstration reactors that were actually built, though they weren't without their technical issues). NuScale's design for example, which is a very different design and also much closer to commercial rollout, has a similar greatly reduced need for a large exclusion zone (https://www.nei.org/news/2018/nrc-staff-agrees-smrs-wont-nee...).

This article is reporting on what amounts to a paper reactor design, which is really only like 0.1% of the effort required to actually build. There are plenty of good design concepts for new and fancy reactors, but the business, regulatory, and PR side is where the challenges really lie. But this general technology is a big deal in the nuclear industry right now and it seems increasingly likely that they might finally build some fully functional plants. Strictly speaking they are actively building some MSR plants, but given the not great track record of actually completing new nuclear plants I will remain pessimistic until they are ready to go critical.

I explained this pretty well in my post, but you are incorrect. Apple does not ship all new features of the OS for older phones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9mBPyaA4L4

Android ships many new features via libraries, so older devices are able to use new APIs generally.

It isn't as simple as your comment claims.
> The vast majority of people arrested for marijuana possession are not charged Federally.

I would expect most of the Federal charges of simple possession occurred at national parks and monuments. But still even if violations were widespread, arrests and convictions probably weren't. You would need a really bored D.A., and I would assume they're usually just as busy as most other attorneys.

>I think you've missed the point as well. Nobody owns anything with crypto. When you give your crypto to Coinbase, there is no $250,000 FDIC insurance that comes along with it.

No, it is you who missed the point yet again. If you give your crypto to Coinbase it isn't your crypto anymore. You are entrusting Coinbase with your crypto. FDIC insurance may be helpful if your bank has financial difficulties, but any money you entrust to the bank can be seized just as easily as Coinbase can seize your money. Ask a truck driver who participated in the lockdown protests in Ottowa how secure their fiat money was in the bank after it was unilaterally seized by the government.

> It alleges that, in 2020, Roblox connected a young girl called S.U. with adult men who abused her for months, manipulating her into sending payments using Roblox currency called Robux and inducing her to share explicit photos on Discord and Snapchat through 2021.

This reads like the synopsis of a Philip K Dick story.
