I agree with the general framework of the argument but as always there's more to it.

If a group of criminals are conducting their business out of a motel room, is it the motel's responsibility or the police's to deal with them? Most would say the police, right?

The thing with KiwiFarms and a lot of these other sites is that law enforcement is not effective at dealing with them because there are thousands of them and when one goes, another appears. So in the face of ineffective policing, the people pressure and protest the next entity who could actually affect change, Cloudflare.

The reality is that these sites cannot be effectively and efficiently policed and until someone finds a way to do that in the most minimally harmful way possible, we're still going to see mobs protesting take-downs and companies capitulating to the demands.
It doesn't take much to beat JIRA ;).

But seriously, Linear is one of the best project management tools I've used. They do an SPA pretty well, which is rare, and its powerful yet pretty simple to use. I do find it a bit hard to wrangle saved views and find things via search sometimes, but overall its one of the 'least bad' tools in this category.

The only other app that I would say is comparable is Shortcut (https://shortcut.com), which I've used in anger at previous jobs. It's a bit simpler than Linear, a bit easier to get up to speed with, but less powerful.

But both are very good. And god help you if you have to use JIRA.
The guards are still usually W-2 employees; but they’re employees of the firm that’s been contracted. Referring to them as “contractors” is more a colloquialism, but it marks someone that works for an outside firm versus someone that’s in-house and on the company team, even if they work in the same office day in and day out.

> Relax, you can give them any employer you ever had, not just your current one.

Not if they don't show up at all like mine. (Tried all four of my past jobs and none of them have shown up.)
> Plus you need logic to add the metaprogramming elements that require you to change the code after it has been written.

Not sure what you mean by this but perhaps you're referring to how Lisp allows redefining functions on the fly without relinking? That's done by indirect function calls. Every function call in Lisp jumps indirectly through the function's symbol name (if it has one). This incurs a runtime penalty of one extra memory access per function call, but it enables functions to be redefined on the fly without changing any of their callers. Optimization switches exist to get rid of this extra overhead if you need maximum speed in deployed code.
This last summer I was trying to buy an outdoor dining set.

Ikea's was all sold out. Really well designed piece, folds up nicely.

All other folding outdoor dining sets are sold online only and have terrible reviews. Horrible horrible reviews.

It turns out the price point for dining sets is as follows:

1. Whatever random product Target is selling this year for $100

2. Random product at Home Depot, which probably isn't in stock, for $250-$500, quality unknown.

3. Reasonable quality well designed piece at Ikea for $500

4. Costco's $2000 set.

Ikea continues to success for very good reasons.

That must have been very frustrating. I hope you ended up getting it sorted out at the time. I can only imagine what must have been doing through your head fresh out of college and relocating for a job. Glad you made it though, and you're right to stick by your guns. Relationships are everything in my community, most deals that can't happen with a handshake don't get far.
Interesting question, would Linear performance slow down once it becomes heavily loaded? Are you confusing app performance preference for usage preference, or is there something where Linear is superior at a feature level? If JIRA's performance was lightning fast when heavily loaded, would your preference still be Linear?
My personal experience screams, ouch!
> Why switch context? Everybody that matters to everybody I now is on whatsapp.

Replace the word "whatsapp" with "iMessage" and you've described my situation. That's why I don't context switch. We're talking like once a year maybe I encounter someone not on Apple that says they're on something else. A similar situation happens with P2P payment apps. Someone may say let me Venmo you, but if you don't have Venmo you're more likely to just say I don't have Venmo and default back to traditional payments. Or counter with, do you have Zelle? (if you have Zelle).

My in-laws were expats and coming home to the US was always a huge culture shock because nobody here used WhatsApp. I know that's not true. There's probably some stats out there that show usage of WhatsApp and Android is very substantial in the US. However, unfortunately, I think that in a way those stats and my experience outline the class divide here. If you can afford it, you have an iPhone.

Timing is right before their largest conference in Las Vegas next week on the 17th, Cloud World[1]

[1] https://www.oracle.com/cloudworld/
The article says “201” - yes, technically more than 200. Other articles says “hundreds of jobs”.

Keep in mind Oracle is a 140,000 to 170,000 large company, so this is a 0.14% reduction, compared to other tech companies planning to cut 10s of percents.

Compare that to others:

Docusign: ~670
Intel: ~ planning to layoff thousands
Twilio: 800-900 (~11% cut)

There’s a lot of sensationalism in reporting here.
I interviewed at about 2 dozen places during the past year. Here is what I learned:

* Be prepared for frequent rejection.

* Nobody will look at your code on GitHub. They will spend about 30seconds to see that you have something up there and look at your stats.

* Know what you want because they often won’t provide you an effective elevator pitch. If you want strong leadership be very clear about what that exactly means. Interviewing is like a bad date and they will lead you on and waste your time until they are ready to select someone more eager to do worse work for lower compensation. Know when it’s not going to work and cut them off.

* If instead you just want to be employed be a framework tool monkey that will never be more than a beginner that fears original code. You will be among the first to go at the next round of layoffs because you are easily replaced, but you are also easy to select.

* Learn your audience. I quickly failed out of most my interviews because I wanted to do more senior work, I wanted brutal honesty, and I wasn’t brown nosing people about their weird business ideas.

* You need to understand most startups hiring remote developers are not mature yet they want super extreme talent for peanuts. Read into your audience to see if they are full of shit or have unrealistic expectations. In many cases the interviewers were new to management and were lost at what to do with somebody with 20+ years experience in both code and management.

* Form practical expectation management. There is some risk of remote employment for the employer. Empathize with that.
> [Fortran] is great for technical and numerical codes that need to run fast and are intended to be used for decades. The libraries listed above will not stop working in a few years. An extremely complicated Fortran application can be recompiled with just a Fortran compiler. You cannot say the same for anything written in the Python scientific ecosystem, which is a Frankenstein hybrid of a scripting language hacked together with a pile of C/C++/Fortran libraries compiled by somebody else. Good luck trying to run Python you write now 20 years from now (or trying to run something written 20 years ago). Fortran is a simple and stable foundation upon which to build our scientific software, Python is not.

This resonates with me.

A lot of the code I wrote during my PhD was Python 2. It probably wouldn't run today without a lot of work. (The easiest approach might be to start a virtual machine using a disk image of the computer I used at the time.) I could have used Python 3, but at the time I didn't pay attention to what version I was using. I also used a lot of third-party packages when I should have minimized my dependencies.

I recently switched for Fortran for new scientific software largely because I expect Fortran code to last longer. I'm pretty paranoid about portability, too. I've used around 10 Fortran compilers now. I compile in standards compliance mode in most compilers. It's been interesting to see first-hand what's portable and what's not. I even got some code I've been working on recently to compile on Microsoft Fortran PowerStation 4.0 from 1995. Hopefully if it compiles on a compiler today and a compiler from 25 years ago, it'll still compile in 25 years?
Hey Peter - Wanted to understand what is the quickest way to get the Permanent Residency in Australia?

They are, afterall, a business trying to sell their products. For a furniture store (my experience is from stores in India), I find the experience compelling.

Part of the reason their stores are like that, is they prioritize the look and feel of the "space", rather than the look and feel of the "product", which, to me is great marketing for a furniture company.

When I go to an IKEA and walk around their showcase rooms, I imagine different furniture items in my own home, visualize their location and use and then make a decision.

Its actually a great experience. Also, in India, most of my friends and colleagues go to an Ikea with an expectation that they will be spending their whole day there, probably lunch there and go to a movie at the end, perhaps.

So the whole shopping experience is very very relaxed and if you have kids, a whole riot.

Its awesome.
Thanks for sharing this link, very useful reading
Not only alone, but disconnected. My brain is seriously altered by the presence of an active and unlimited internet connection.
Really? Why? I thought FAANG jobs were the closest thing to heaven on earth.

Okay, I am being obnoxious, but seriously, this is first I have heard of this. Do you know why? Surely it can't be the remote work thing. I would assume there has to more to this.
I just want to say the app is amazing and my team loves it. Good luck mitigating the DDoS, and even under attack, Linear is faster than JIRA.
Ah, yes. My mistake.

Honestly we never spelled it or wrote it down.
Open source it and I'll care.
"the whole truth" suggests that the news while inaccurate in detail convey truth overall. It is not my experience: it is more of black is white and up is down. In other words, you are less informed after consuming the news, not just wrong in minute irrelevant details.

Its not obvious at first sight.
It is true that higher-level employees at companies not uncommonly sit on boards although I assume this is something that high-level employee discusses with their management--and as you say it's typically not a big time committment though can lead to conflicts. And it's not unusual for even individual contributors to be on some unpaid non-profit board but that would generally be out of scope of most employment agreements.

Most CxO positions are full-time although there are, e.g. fractional CFO-type positions for smaller companies.
Using argv[0] for dispatch has worked for 4+ decades. There is zero non-contrived evidence that it ever fails to work.

Further, there's 4+ decades of legacy here, and it's very rude to break backwards compatibility with something like this where there's no need, no security vulnerability that must be fixed by breaking backwards compatibility.
A feature to look for is OTG (USB On The Go) connectors and devices.

Oracle lays off a lot more than that every March-ish and September-ish, this is not an indicator of recession/etc.
In one hand you see no end in sight of continued technological advances that have heretofore led to decreasing unit costs in renewable energy, yet on the other hand you see imminent collapse of civilization? Are the two hands joined to the same person?

If all-in renewable energy costs including storage do in fact continue to decline at the rate you imply it will, then it looks like we won't have to do anything special to bring about the end of fossil fuels. Prices will do that automatically.

> Literally nobody advocates for any measure that would interfere with economic prosperity

Most every proposed solution I've seen to the imminent climate catastrophe involves making it more expensive to maintain current living standards, maybe with a side order of claiming current living standards are immoral. What are these measures that make substantial headway against climate change without making people poorer?

> those heavily bought into the petroleum economy

You don't have to own stock in Exxon and Shell to be "bought in" to the petroleum economy. The global economy is the petroleum economy, because in the aggregate every problem facing humanity is an energy problem. I don't think many people particularly care where their energy comes from, as long as it comes to them cheaply and reliably, and so far fossil fuels have other sources beat.

I'm not invested either emotionally or financially in seeing the continued success of fossil fuels; I'm invested in maintaining high living standards for myself and raising the living standards of the global poor. I remain skeptical that climate change will collapse civilization anytime soon.
Airgap it or install Lineage or one of the other open source replacements, it's not usually hard, but I don't know anything about your particular phone. On Pixels you can literally just go to a webpage and start the rooting and install from there.
This seems like a really nice tool. I'm quite happy with some of the "older" tools I'm still using: Shortcut for project management at my company, Trello for personal todo lists, and Evernote for notes. Trying to stick to the philosophy of
"if it ain't broke, don't fix it" when it comes to all these new tools and services. I think Shortcut and Trello are still great tools and I'm not in a hurry to replace them. But Linear does look very good. Maybe I'll try it out whenever I start a new project.

My point is that an amount of economic activity happened (let's simplify and say that its consumption/investment/government spend).

GDP measures how much a country makes, but that's only a proxy for economic activity because trade imbalances exist (and the US economy greatly benefits from its trade imbalance).

So the unprecedented lumpiness of imports shouldn't mislead you into thinking US domestic economic activity is down, when in fact it's just being financed differently (now more via trade imbalance than in previous quarters).

Again, all circling back to my point that the 2Q's of GDP rule is dumb.
I have three children. It is literally impossible for me to survive on any salary companies are willing to pay. I work multiple jobs.

Idk the solution. It costs me $3,000 a month just for school. That’s a second mortgage.

Either they increase pay 50%. Which they don’t want to do. Or I work three jobs. If they don’t like it, pay more.

I actually don’t even have a choice, it isn’t even an option. School must get paid for. It isn’t a lifestyle expense. It is a necessity.

I hate to break this to you but there will be a mass exodus from twitter if he allows nazis and nazis like Trump back on the platform. There are other social media platforms out there that don't support domestic terrorism and authoritarianism that the twitterati can flee to.
If notepad++ doesn't work for you then you probably aren't really looking for a fast, light, text editor.

Was mentioned in an onsite interview i had with them a few years back. Maybe i misunderstood but it seemed that internal teams didn't integrate with the same API as external customers. Not sure the other reply means that the "wrapper" doesn't exist or the wrapper's are just named the same as the underlying service or i just misunderstood the point.
The article discussed several examples, including men. You stopped reading after making your decision about the one woman.
It's like JIRA but better, more specifically built for software engineers as opposed to being a general tool.
Thankfully TCP/IP packets max out at 64K.

Most old school formats have max size limits for good reasons, and the really good protocols allow the receiver to specify the maximum amount of data to send at a time!

Of course if your device has 256K of memory, reserving 64K for a max size TCP/IP packet is incredibly wasteful.

But if you can receive one of those packet at any time, realistically you need to have 64K available at any time so....

I'm not sure about newer stuff. Last time I did embedded things like Bluetooth were sectioned off into their own bit of memory, malloc was used, and it was a source of bugs that we weren't happy about.
Is it in the contract that an employee can't take a second job? I know well reputed companies in the bay area has this term. My guess is that the intention of this term is to prevent conflict of interest and potential IP disputes.
Yuck. I hadn't considered that.
Why? The problem with Twitter is that they currently suspend accounts, remove posts because of "misinformation" and at the instigation of countries wishing to silence critics (see India). And yes, they also have a huge bot problem.

If Elon Musk takes over and removes this Twitter censorship and deals with the bot issue, more people will stay on with Twitter rather than opt for alternate platforms.
TBH, if this was a security touchpoint, they should have done it 15 years ago.

Or maybe they should have had a programme to subsidize the cost of Cisco kit to make sure they couldn't get a foothold in the data centre in the first place.

I recall they did some big dog-and-pony show where they got GCHQ to do some audits, but it always seemed like the result was pre-cooked. There was a specific, obviously politically-infused outcome planned from day 1, and no amount of audits, disclosures, or compliance guarantees would ever make them politically acceptable for the US.

Sort of makes me think of the Iraqi WMD inspections, or the Iranian nuclear deal.

What do you mean by a "so what" effect? Not sure I've heard that phrase before used in the context of an effect.
Regarding the democracy bit, I'd grant
If you're seriously considering it already, I say just do it. I'm a "normal" by your definition and have a both an individual counselor and an executive coach, both paid for on my own dime. I've committed over $10k between the two so far and feel like it's money well spent.

80% of the value for me has come from identifying hidden sources of fear and working through plans to overcome them. I'm naturally risk-averse and really had no real understanding of how much I was letting my own self-limiting belief system hold me back. A good coach can help you identify ways in which you're inadvertently sabotaging your own progress and help you to overcome them.

The other primary benefit (the remaining 20%) has come from having a completely new and fresh perspective on problem-solving. I can easily say that I've had more directly actionable "Aha" moments in the last three years of coaching than I had over the previous 20+ years of my career. For every "unique" problem you think you have, a good coach or counselor has probably seen some variation of it dozens of times and can probably offer you a half dozen useful ways of tackling the problem. It's the same thing that something like YC does for startups, but applied to you on an individual level.

The major caveat of course is that good coaches are often hard to find and you might have to search a bit to find one that works well for your specific needs. YMMV and all that.
With developed countries ranging from 25% to over 60% in government spending as percentage of GDP, your argument doesn't carry the same weight. Every industry is running with subsidies.

Do renewable energy sources somehow negate the need for a military to maintain security and keep shipping lanes open? If the US isn't invading Iraq for oil, it could spend the money on invading some other country instead for the resources that building renewables needs.
Unlikely. Parts of it are above the river bed, and stick out into the water. It's all rather fragile patchwork, not some massive reinforced concrete thing.

This sticking out is also the reason all the terminals for larger ships are downstream of it, because their keels would crunch it, even at high tide.
Mass surveillance is a boiling frog scenario. Just a few decades ago, it'd have been absurd to suggest this type of regulation, because no one collected authoritative data pinning individuals to how they used airplanes. Airline tickets were even transferrable.
