I feel like you are completely missing the point of the protagonists self sacrifice.....

you claim it is selfish to show the world that they are at an unhealthy level of entitlement and ignorance and that to continue with the status quo is to invite a future of degradation and despotism that would shield all innovation from seeing daylight.

You claim that they are selfish in their acts but fa to acknowledge their reasons their outcomes or their resolve to not become serfs of the collectivists....it says do not be a slave just because you are good at something....it says stand up, realise your worth, don't cheapen yourself, but if people will not respect you and will not value your efforts with some compensation (whether that be recognition, money, respect, debt, etc) but some form of value should be given....the smallest people are not expected to give anything more than relative efforts ...
The money is fungible, so in my observation the owners pocketed it from a different part of the ledgers at the end of the year.
I used to put fake password stickies on my monitor at my first job out of school. No one ever said anything.

My current manager is delightfully paranoid about security, so maybe I'll do it again to see if he says anything.
Do you understand that one instance of this being true does absolutely nothing to validate any other instance? You need to present a large body of empirical data.
That’s my belief as well but there are managers out there that think staff engineers should never write code. It boggles my mind they think this way but many do.
>Doesn't matter the reason, net net less goods were produced.

That's not how GDP works? It's not adding up all the things that were made, it's measuring the value an economy produced.

A quirk of that is imports are value an economy consumes (usually offset by Foreign Direct Investment).

If those ships decided to bail from LA and head to Japan, would the economy have 'produced less'?

Depends on what you consider a conspiracy theory - it doesn't have to be QAnon level to qualify - and that's not the only problem anyway. If you've ever studied information warfare, you'd know that it's not necessarily about making people believe one specific thing. More often it's about making people uncertain, creating/heightening conflict, or just getting people to disengage out of sheer fatigue. It's paralysis, not a kill. Even when IW is not involved, it's reflected in "both sides" and "voting doesn't matter" and "choose your own science" (not in so many words but absolutely rampant right here) and calling people "sheep" and so on ad infinitum et ad nauseam. Do you really need me to cite examples? Do you really believe the quality of public discourse has not degraded over the time social media have become ascendant, or that people weren't easily fooled even before? Are you asking because you're actually curious, or because you already believe the contrary and it's easier to make demands of others than of yourself? "I'm pretty sure" the answer is clear.
Estimates for Q2 were for 2.3% growth, and were wrong. Thus, you actually don't know if the country will be out of recession until the real numbers come out. Maybe wait for the actual numbers before worrying about your opponents reaction?

It seems to me like an internal affair. I'm not an NYU student, so I can't possibly pass judgement, but I have been to university and had absolutely rubbish lecturers who have no interest in how they're perceived and just deliver material badly in various ways. I've seen abusive educators who express open dislike of their job and students in the classroom and who brag about giving them a hard time too. I ended up changing my degree to get away from awful lecturers - I was cheated. I would still rather have been the thing I originally signed up for, than what I became. Even after, for several of my classes, I ended up watching them online because it was necessary to watch them multiple times to understand what the lecturer said. These people exist, it doesn't seem like a stretch to me.

If I'm paying as much as a house for my education, I should have a right to express myself about how it is provided to me. If that many students felt like he wasn't delivering the material well, and the university considered it and made a choice, then fair enough. People get fired all the time for not doing their jobs well, particularly in America. Look how they treat waiters, where a portion of pay is directly correlated to customer satisfaction. What I don't understand is why this topic is worth dozens of outraged articles.
Don’t quote me but I’m pretty sure the LIDAR sensor for most phone cameras exists entirely because of self driving cars. They drove the miniaturization of LIDAR sensors and the development of solid state LIDAR.
Never really looked into it, but if the kernel overcommits memory, and multiple applications actually utilize that memory, it would occur outside the scope of malloc, right? The kernel can’t pass an error to the app because it could occur at anytime during program execution — the only option is to OOM kill the app?

Only now thinking about it, doesn’t overcomitting make it impossible for programs to be well-behaved during high system load? Everything is lying to you up until the last second, when suddenly you’re dead by OOM killer. When does malloc even return errors in practice?
Just personally, I value companies who "dogfood" their products a lot more than similar companies that don't.

An example is 3D printers. Prusa makes fantastic 3D printers, and about half of the structural parts for their printers are printed on their own printers. So they have 600 of their own 3D printers printing 24/7 printing their own parts. That means they are forced to address long-term durability and reliability issues even just to ship their own product.

Because it absolutely is true that at that scale, you're usually better off just injection molding the parts, but they'd lose the high-quality signaling that yeah, their 3D printers are good enough for the company to rely on them to print their product. They also lose out on insight to things they could do to improve their own product from a usability standpoint.
> I'm sorry but until you've experienced a startup shutting down the product that you built your whole knowledge repo around, you won't really understand the need for portability.

It is not hard to understand why portability is important and I do not need to lose anything to empathize with people that have. I think it is important but it doesn't matter how important it is if the tool you're using to secure portability is insufficient for the task you're trying to accomplish. That is backwards thinking.

> I could care less about the shiny features, because I know that in 10 years this product will be defunct, while markdown will still exist.

I'm not speaking in favor for this person's startup, I'm speaking in favor for better tools for note taking, thinking, brainstorming, and managing knowledge. Plain text is not good enough, in my opinion. This is coming from someone who uses plain text for all those things because there isn't an existing adequate alternative. If plain text is genuinely suitable for your needs, that's great. I just really doubt that anyone that uses plain text can genuinely say that they aren't held back by the limitations of the format at least in some way.

I used to work for Oracle. I can recall Oracle sales reps telling me how important it was that we internally used the software we sold to our customers, because if we didn't trust it with our own business, why should they trust it with theirs? Maybe Microsoft doesn't think the same way?

Of course, Oracle has so many different software offerings (duplication due to acquisitions, and lots of industry-specific offerings), it couldn't possibly use them all internally. But at least its sales reps could say, that if they weren't using the specific product they were selling, they'd be (for non-industry specific functions) using an equivalent product in Oracle's portfolio.

This reminds of factory farming and how it encourages the growth of bacteria that make both animals and humans sick. To solve this problem, instead drastically changing the way we grow livestock we just opted to abuse antibiotics to both enlarge the livestock and keep them from getting ill resulting in antibiotic resistant superbugs
Yeah it’s there. Should have read it better.
Still, let's not pretend the narrative has been recently "adjusted".

https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-appears-to-misundersta...

"Recessions are generally defined as being six consecutive months of negative economic growth. By this definition, there is no such thing as a two-month recession."

Obviously that is a very widely used and well accepted definition of recession including among experts and industry journalists. The idiotic thing is that's recently being claimed is that's not an "official" definition of recession, as though that makes any difference or makes someone incorrect for using the definition. A government's definition of a word gives it no more weight than anybody else's definition of that word, outside the duties of that government. Arguably the two-quarters rule is the preferred definition because it is more widely used and known. And let's be honest, that definition certainly would be put to use by its most fervent deniers today if there were different politicians in office.

I was by no means this kid. But I remember many times I’d passively listened to the lesson of the day, then get called on because I seemed (was) distracted, and offered a simpler solution. Usually got a “we’ll cover that in future chapters” with very little attempt to hide the frustration.

On Android, you can usually plug flash drives into the phone's USB port (either USB-C drives or using the correct dongles/adapters). They might insist you format them first so make sure you start by plugging them in and formatting on the phone before adding media. I think there's some apps that can read, for instance, NTFS (although I remember it being a little flakey)

Why did we have a recession in 2000 if that's the rule then? Does 2020 not count since it was 4 months?

And what's your comment on the fact that this is the first 'recession' where the impact can be largely explained by net exports?

One of your professional colleagues disagrees, feeling that academia generally is partisan

https://johnhcochrane.blogspot.com/2022/07/woke-week.html?m=...

and that economics in particular is too

https://johnhcochrane.blogspot.com/2022/06/aea-p-measure-of-...

Economics is less partisan than any other social science, with only three times as many Democrats as Republicans but academia in general is merrily burning its reputation for truth seeking and Economics won’t escape. Not being as bad as psychology or sociology where all conservative academics could meet in a small lecture theatre is a low bar.

About 1970, the Washington Redskins (now the Commanders) had two quarterbacks, Sonny Jurgensen and Billy Kilmer. Jurgensen was a better passer, and said that Kilmer's passes offered the advantage that a receiver could choose which end to catch. So even at the pro level, sometimes footballs tumble.
> the SBA was used as it was the fastest way to get cash out the door.

Many non-savvy small businesses missed out in part due to lack of accounting help and lack of banking relationships for the application papers.

If this was to keep employees working, then the fastest way would be to credit the employer payroll tax federal withholding back to the employer after the employer sent it to the Feds. That is an existing channel and would be based on verified employee pay withholding.

> General practitioners are in the above dataset

I don't see which row. Levels.fyi says L5 Google SWE is 350k. The left column in your link has a header saying specialty. "Family medicine" is 270k in your data set. Nothing in the 350k range vaguely resembles general practice.

Heh. I can't speak of the industry as a whole, but I don't think I'm coping in any way. I'd say in medicine you know the demand for your skills is going to be stable, worldwide. In tech, there's no way to project 20 years into the future.
Yes, so the median wage declines, and the wage of the most productive increases. You'll have 20% or fewer of engineers doing most of the work.

I don't see why it's wrong to accept documentation are tough to read for beginners. Maybe degrees from USA are so good you can read docs easily after getting them. They're not that good out here. I used to read books instead of RFCs to learn. But later I'd use RFCs to solve my confusions while learning networking concepts. That's the way. I'm stuck at the first phase. I'm just copying pasting code(typing), not learning anything. I fix an error I learn sth but getting the big picture is tough. A resourceful resource that covers theory behind what's happening could be of great help in this case but I'm not finding one. Books get outdated fast.

How do you deal with resource management? Do you create a wrapper type for those that don't have automatic destructor? (I'm surprised that stdlib doesn't provide a wrapper for files)
I think you're making this more difficult than it is.

1. Different people have different definitions of recession. Two quarters is probably the most widely used and known one, so it's perfectly valid to use, but not everyone may agree so you can see differences.

2. People have ulterior motives for calling a recession. Even the same dishonest person will use different definitions at different times according to who can be blamed or credited. And there are a lot of dishonest people in government and corporate media.

So put all that aside. "The US is in recession." That's a perfectly reasonable statement that anybody can understand in context even those who have a slightly different definition where it doesn't fit.
Good god, yes.

Are we seeing the same "homeless" people? The ones I see filling up the sidewalks and public spaces of big cities like LA and SF seem to be here for the cheap drugs, public services, and other nice things that "red states" are less likely to allow/provide.

Unfortunately, the "homeless issue" in big cities is a conflict of excess. High priced apartments (LA & SF used to have a decent amount of affordable living options when people didn't want to live in cities) clashing with "free"/public services.

We were fed a theory posed as fact (i.e. that providing services for drug addicts, like needle exchanges, and lowered/non-existent legal repercussions) is what is missing from our society. That is increasingly showing itself to be a lie.

The public needs to ask itself, do we want cities that are tolerant (and filled with drugs/crime), or do we want to accept intolerance?

I don't see the current political climate allowing intolerance, which is leading to a brewing political/civil schism.

Your ISP might detect the inbound traffic and shut you down. Most residential ISPs have a "no servers allowed" clause.

Better to tunnel traffic back to you, either through a 3rd party service (Cloudflare tunnels, like someone else mentions) or through a VPS that you control. That way, your home IP address is not directly exposed.

There is still some security concerns having a server directly on your home network. For example, if it was compromised it could access other systems on your LAN. With a more sophisticated router, you could mitigate that (isolate by putting it on its own network, block most outgoing traffic, etc.) The typical home router won't have the features for that.
No closed form solution means you cannot write a program that will, given an arbitrary polynomial, tell you the solution. Which is what was claimed above. Obviously the solution exists, but there is no single algorithm that can tell you what it is.
