Sometimes it does both — e.g. when I use Front and click on an email, it does something. But I should ALSO be able to open it up in a separate frame, for long readings (in Front you do this by double clicking).

Is it good practice to use links, then intercept then with preventDefault when it should go somewhere AND do something?
>On a sample of thousands, a 3% difference is big.

Not really. Only if it is many, many thousands. Assuming a totally random acceptance rate of 1/5:

a = 0;
b = 0;
for (c of Array(1000)) {
if (Math.random() > .8)
a++;
if (Math.random() > .8)
b++;
}
console.log(`a=${a}, b=${b}, a is ${(a/b - 1)*100}% more likely than b`)
> a=209, b=201, a is 3.9800995024875663% more likely than b

literally the first run. And even in absolute terms, I got this on the third run:

>a=192, b=219, a is -12.328767123287676% more likely than b

That's an absolute difference of 2.7%. Again, 100% random data.
In recent years/months I too have seen teen (youngsters) floating around their Iphones, half way around the world.
The numbers have increased considerably around 10% in teens from 1% few years back.

They mainly buy it as iphone is considered 'Posh', a sign of your class.

There is no way for them to use imessage as everyone uses Whatsapp, no way to use facetime as everyone uses Whatsapp Call and for these buyers no way to use apple premium apps as they cost large amount of money while google products are free.

A funny thing happened was when PUBG was banned here by government, it was removed by apple app store and google play store. But android users were still able to play PUBG by downloading and installing APK from web while apple users were not able to do it as according to apple 'Only hackers use Sideloading'.
So, it was funny to watch at time android users gloating over iphone users.

>I continue to hear sexist comments from people who never would have said those sorts of things just five years ago.

As a man in tech, I've been a part of countless hush-hush conversations that would never be repeated within earshot of a woman or untrusted man. It's as grim as you say, and worse.

I'm really sorry that things have become like this.
Great question.

Given the forum, going to assume you are seeking an internship in tech.

FWIW, I created/lead an internship program for software devs at a small(er) venture-backed startup. The program was responsible for hiring ~20 interns over two years.

Among the interns I hired, those that stood out had a demonstrated genuine passion for the field as well as our company, had deployed their own side projects to production, and were very very clear in what they were seeking to gain from an internship with us.

Also, very early in my career, I recall a discussion with an intern on how he landed the role at the company I was with at the time. He said he cold-emailed the CEO. He also said that was how he had landed an earlier internship at Amazon!
I think the GP's comment is meant to preempt the normal HN comment chum on these topics, i.e. the tendency for HN to go out of its way to claim reactionary sex-based discrimination against men. Given that Switzerland has had universal suffrage for barely longer than I've been alive, it's hard to make that claim about them.

(This instead seems to be good old-fashioned sex-based discrimination, like the draft in the US.)
"Need" vs "want" is a false dichotomy. It's actually a spectrum, and there's no single obviously correct position to split it at to reduce to a binary.
So is their internal culture the same as described here, a decade later?

For some reason, this manual gave me the same feeling I had when looking over college brochures as a young man. There was a sense of potential and excitement that was hard to put into words. Of course, the reality turned out very differently but I still remember that passing mixture of floating forms. Whether or not the document accurately depicts what it's like working at Valve, I am still taken aback that it managed to reproduce so specific and personal an emotion.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11483173/ is one such study.

I think it's more likely the the space of "good" 2-4 phoneme github accounts is almost fully saturated, and the model is good at generating "plausible" real-sounding usernames, leading to a lot of collisions.
I don’t get it because if you look on the valve careers site they’re hiring for specific teams (like steam for example)

What happens if you hire someone and then they say “nah working on steam is boring, I’m gonna go work on something completely different”

How do you financially allocate head count if people can just leave the project whenever?
I think there is a lot of fatigue from the type of low effort, low value interactions that Tinder et al facilitate. I have no marketing data available, but I would guess there is demand for an app that at least makes an effort to create higher value connections.

The social media influencer idea solves the problem of onboarding a lot of people fast, particularly women. I disagree that the audience self selects to have low attention span- I doubt that matters if there is sufficient demand for a non-Tinder dating app experience.
I "used"(found excuses not to use) this at a previous job at a mid size software company.

It was literally just a private instance of facebook. 95% of the posts were basically fluff posts from HR. No content of any substance. So basically linkedin, but less useful, because everyone on there was in the same company and so there was no real networking effect to it either.

I didn't stay at that company very long, for a multitude of reasons.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-integer_base_of_numerati...

I know enough to know the examples for Base sqrt(2) are not correct, but I don't know enough to write a proper example.

For example if this is true "Base √2 behaves in a very similar way to base 2 as all one has to do to convert a number from binary into base √2 is put a zero digit in between every binary digit"

Then Base(10) 3 aka Base(2) 11 converted to Base(sqrt2) would be 101. But it is actually 1000.000001

As RDBury on the Talk page mentions, "bases that are not Pisot–Vijayaraghavan numbers are not guaranteed to terminate or even be periodic". Whomever wrote that example just happened to pick an integer where the Base(sqrt2) version terminates and has such a pattern, and treated it as if it applies to all integers.

> Fastest growing has nothing to do with the link I posted.

Let me highlight the relevant part of the link you posted:

https://www.bls.gov/ooh/**FASTEST-GROWING**.htm

> What is relevant is they were the highest paying jobs on that list.

It's not relevant. We aren't talking about comparing salaries of the fastest growing jobs. We are comparing jobs that require similar training.

> Compared to all wage jobs,

No. Compared to other fastest growing jobs. Your list is fastest growing jobs. Not all wage jobs.

> they were the highest paying jobs on that list

Even that's wrong. If you click the buttons on the salary column to sort by salary, you'll see that "Physician assistants" get paid more.

And you got even more wrong...

Nurse PRACTITIONERS were on the top of your list. That requires a Master's degree. That's a much higher paying job than registered nurses. Registered nurses being the vast majority of jobs with the title of nurse.

From your own source, the pay for licensed nurses is $48,070 per year or $23.11 per hour. You must complete a state-approved educational program, which typically takes about 1 year to complete.

For comparison, you can get paid $24.87 per hour delivering mail for the US post office. Only a high school diploma is required.

https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/licensed-practical-and-li...

Registered nurses, which require a 2 year degree, and licensing, do make more ($77,600 per year or $37.31 per hour) than vocational nurses, but nowhere near what nurse practitioners make. And many registered nurses have a four year degree. That's a pretty low hourly wage for a four year degree in a science-based profession.

That's the immobilizer chip. It's a little pill-shaped RFID-like thing that's been inside keys since long before remote locks and push-to-start. Basically any key that has some plastic instead of being entirely metal. The reader is located immediately next to the ignition key hole on the steering column, and that location is sometimes used even in push-to-start cars although apparently in your case it was near the start button instead. Distance is limited to a couple centimeters max. Car won't start unless the immobilizer's reader sees the correct key. When a push-to-start fob's battery is in working order, the distance is moot because it uses full blown RF instead.
It's probably due to legacy software. If your software that uses jQuery ain't broke, why risk breaking it by striping it out? Does doing so even provide much business benefit? Probably not I'd say.
JQuery is great for DOM interaction. If you are making a complex web app, you should be using a framework designed for that and DOM interaction not through the framework is going to cause problems and convoluted code with side effects.

If you are making a web-site and not a web-application, it's great.

A lot of pain comes from a project that evolved from a complexity where JQuery was a good choice to a complexity where it is not a good choice, and the work wasn't done to convert the existing stuff.

I've heard there's a hierarchy, it's just not documented.
Yes! This example is a control that toggles the visibility of part of the page. It is neither a link nor a button

And, you know, if you think about this from an assistive technology point of view, does a screenreader user actually need to worry about interacting with a control to make something visible? Isn't it better from their point of view to skip the interaction entirely and just put the list of theme options semantically under a navigable page heading?
This is not how it works dude. Right now, in big tech, teams have target of 30% diversity, i.e., 1/3rd of the team. There is literally not that many "diverse" people available to hire. You would be lucky to even fill these positions with competent non-diverse candidates. If your team works on networking stack, how many well qualified female/black/latino folks are out there who will apply to your post at that point in time? VPs then come to you and tell you to hire "diverse" candidate any way with no experience in networking and ask you to train them later. They do this to protect their bonuses. Now your 30% of the team is filled with people who have no business of being there. Besides experience, most don't even have any passion for the field. They just walk-in flashing their diversity cards. This is massive drain on teams productivity. How does this team would compete with lean and mean startups? The truth is they won't. The DEI is great initiative to sunset aging big tech and replace them with new blood.
Did you later call and ask the officer if that was the exact second he decided you will get a ticket? Or were you merely persuaded by her saying that was what happened?
The fact that Swiss women didn’t vote until (relatively) recently is not important.

The fact that the were subject to ECHR jurisdiction is.

The ECHR has immense respect for countries political processes, and allows all sorts of nasty laws (gay marriage bans, etc).

My point is that this sort of micromanagement does not seem consistent with the ECHRs usual hands-off approach.

There is always a hierarchy regardless of whether the HR database reflects it or not. The HR database only grants a hierarchy legitimacy, nothing more, nothing less. Regardless even in places where there is a hierarchy you will see getting promoted means nothing unless you have influence with the powers that be.

In many ways these power structures are a feature of any large people operation. You just need to get used to them.

Things will be chaotic, but modern software development does some good ideas to the table to maintain order. Things like Agile, OKRs etc might not be perfect but they do help.
> Without context it's not a running program and I don't really care about single lines of code in isolation. It's just as bad as math symbols written in isolation of any context but that's my point.

We are either in violent agreement or you are failing to actually convey your meaning.

To take a step back: The original commenter complained about not being able to parse arbitrary expressions. I responded by pointing out that that's not a math specific thing, and that every language has this problem if there is no context. My overall point being that with context that "arbitrary" math expression would become less arbitrary as the context provides meaning which permits parsing. Since they seemed to be a programmer (or have some familiarity with it, asking for a strongly typed language) I provided an expression you might find in some program, and presented it without any context, that was intended as an analogy to their situation with math. Again, trying to emphasize that you need context to get meaning.

You seem to be agreeing with me (you need context for the expression to have any meaning), but your comment itself comes off as argumentative. So what's your disagreement with my point?
Seems like bullshit or else hell if not
So they had:

lay-offs 2 years ago

Switched tech stacks 11 months ago to among other things be able to hire more devs

Acquired Pry for $90 million 6 months ago

Quite the ride...

>RCS, which is the industry standard

The article I linked to points out that RCS, as used by Google today, is a proprietary closed source fork of RCS that Google has refused to create a public API for.

>Google's version of RCS—the one promoted on the website with Google-exclusive features like optional encryption—is definitely proprietary, by the way.

If this is supposed to be a standard, there's no way for a third-party to use Google's RCS APIs right now. Some messaging apps, like Beeper, have asked Google about integrating RCS and were told there's no public RCS API and no plans to build one.

If you want to implement RCS, you'll need to run the messages through some kind of service, and who provides that server? It will probably be Google.

So the pitch for Apple to adopt RCS isn't just this public-good nonsense about making texts with Android users better; it's also about running Apple's messages through Google servers. Google profits in both server fees and data acquisition.
