You do realize you are advocating for minorities to do all the work? Carry the burden, deal with the trauma that gets involved, constantly have to work at navigating everyone else, while people in a spot of privilege don't need to do any sort of work, right? This is the world you are arguing for and it's not a world you'll want to be living in long term. Hopefully you figure that out sooner before it's too late.
It's a practical need. It allows for the compiler to enhance your productivity by stopping mistakes and errors as soon as possible.

For instance, you can't even write a generic "window slide" function support dynamic window length without this typelevel logic. Except of course if you don't mind your program to blow up on a mistake or write excessive tests for every piece of your code.

That's why we should remove all voting machines. Not because they're unsafe, but because they're an attack vector for cynical actors to sow distrust.

There's no way the small efficiency gain from automation is worth that cost.
The article does not mention changing what the control looks like, only how it is marked up. The design is shown as settled - a roller icon - and the only question to be decided is if that icon is implemented as a link or a button in the DOM.

They have been _trying_ to make it more user oriented for a while but even in the new design, users aren't really that important or recognized any more than they always have.

The main change is you can post posts to your profile rather than a particular subreddit. But that's not a big feature. Back in the day people used to just create a subreddit of their username.
Especially companies which claim to have solid runway blaming "the macro environment" is perplexing.

But then, venture capital backed companies generally (arguably by design) are not profitable, so their ability to weather storms is likely weakened and maybe the boards get squirrely when faced with the threat of bad weather.
Elixir to kotlin
I moved to a company with a ton of profit from a company in the red / a “growth company”. Started working nights and weekends on startups. Moved to all home cooked meals. Cut unnecessary spending and looking into more investments. Doubled down on being and staying in shape.
It's true, unfortunately. When I was a TA and graded homework I'd learn which students did well over time and generally would put less effort into checking their work because generally it was more likely to be correct. They were also more likely to self-correct, and to present work well, etc. Reviewing papers isn't really too different.
> probable recession

Not to be pedantic, but we're already in a recession, defined by a fall in GDP in two successive quarters. What's coming for the US and EU, given bad debt levels and inflation levels, is much, much worse than that.

To your question: I would say, look for roles at organizations which are likely to ride out the storm. I think you can't be overly cautious (in all financial aspects) for the next years.
This would get very specific to the organ systems involved, and starts to get above my understanding, but it'd be things like:

Coronary calcium scan to check for the progress of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries, ultrasound of the kidneys, maybe the heart to check for left ventricular hypertrophy (or do you need an echocardiogram for that?), ultrasound for the carotid arteries, etc.
Well secure and rather indisputably valid elections are a solved problem, and many countries manage it. Identified electors cast ballots on paper counted under recorded and public observation. (I think a scantron would be fine, too).

It is just that we choose not to do this. A provably convincing election isn’t actually some hard, unsolved problem. (And yes- if you mention zero knowledge proofs in your story of why the election is safe, people will look askance because an observably valid election is a solved problem, and many countries manage it)
Gold is one of the few areas which should do very well.
Gift vs Loan really depends a lot on Time Value. If the loan carries interest at a rate that is lower than the return earned on the loaned value, it's basically a gift of sorts, even if not quite in the manner a lay person may understand it (a net gift, if you will (and if the interest is higher than it's capable of yielding as a return, it's a trap!). At the end of the day though, the cycle of lending money at interest in a manner externalizes the cost to the society at large, who is left to cope with an expanded money supply (which eventually can be measured as inflation), while meanwhile the party loaning the money out sees a return in the form of interest, and the party taking out the loan sees the return in the form of access to capital and a net gain.

The Federal Reserve can be thought of as there to balance out the cost of this arrangement (unending inflation) with the benefits it provides (expanded access to capital by those who would otherwise perhaps never be able to raise the funds -- hard to run a business when you don't have the "machinery" that makes it go).

It turns out, this is really hard. At the end of the day though, if they weren't there "picking winners" as it sometimes appears they're doing, we'd still have winners being picked, as we did under the old gold backed currencies in the past, but we'd also get to contend with the effects of banks going bust from failing to adequately navigate the markets, which would be further made turbulent by a lack of coordination between their interest rates being haphazardly determined. Presumably, those with the most money and clarity would be the only ones left after an epic game of Monopoly, and we'd be left with...a central bank, much like we have today.
I'm pretty confident this has more polygons and higher resolution textures than a gameplay scene in Final Fantasy XII. Those models had 256x256 textures and 1500 polygons total per character. Just the glasses virtual-Carmack is wearing are probably pushing 200+ polygons when they could be 3 quads and a clever texture. I was going to think maybe they wanted to avoid using transparency in their textures, but he's standing in front of a large virtual glass door.

But still I agree with the other commenters, they should have gone MORE cartoony and more simple. This is just a simultaneously creepy and goofy middle-ground.
Your message feels disingenuous and not in good-faith.

Auth0 clearly advises against the localStorage option which is most similar to Stytch's:

> _Important:_ This feature will allow the caching of data _such as ID and access tokens_ to be stored in local storage. Exercising this option changes the security characteristics of your application and _should not be used lightly._ Extra care should be taken to mitigate against XSS attacks and minimize the risk of tokens being stolen from local storage.

This is from the readme of the github you linked:

https://github.com/auth0/auth0-spa-js/tree/0de9c6bf61d37fc21...

And since their other client-only solutions have major UX challenges (as you highlight), I expect most Auth0 users have landed on the secure option.

This is very different from Stytch - which as far as I can tell - doesn't disclose or acknowledge the risk, and instead willingly puts developers at increased risk. Throughout this thread, you've been dismissive of the risk despite security organizations clearly indicating that HttpOnly is best-practice.

You've found a legitimate comparison in Firebase, but for me, you've taken several steps too far trying to compare to Auth0.
Exactly they should have to prove that it was illegally obtained before they can take a dollar. "Suspicion" isn't a reason. If they don't want you hauling around large amounts of cash then they should make a rule about it and have it posted on the walls at the airport.

> in a simulated tree-lined park while the outside world turns increasingly hostile is pretty sad.

To the extent it ends up saving on jet travel and commuting it could make the outside world less hostile (delaying the onset of global warming). I don't think it is there yet in this iteration obviously.
I’d be curious what the numbers look like in the next quarter, also I recall that the US has some absurd definition of unemployed that conveniently undercounts the unemployed.

That said I think the real story now is that the previous recessions haven’t really impacted the big tech companies, but this time it is so we’re seeing the first mass layoffs that this generation of developers has likely ever encountered. Couple that with the “tech” companies that are essentially just advertising companies that write software (obviously FB and G, but many of the startups aren’t too different) discovering that attention based advertising isn’t as stable a revenue stream as was thought, and you get a _lot_ more “safe” jobs disappearing.

> Yes, AdS/CFT is mathematically consistent, as are classical GR wormhole models

Nitpick (one which I'm sure you are aware of but it might be relevant for other readers): Classical GR (including wormhole spacetimes and others) is mathematically rigorous. All objects are precisely defined and you can write down actual mathematical theorems.

In contrast, AdS/CFT is anything but rigorous. It's basically just lots of handwaving; it's a hunch that people have, based upon lots of mathematically rather non-sensical calculations.

So I wouldn't want to equate the two in terms of rigorosity / consistency.
It does not appear that KaiOS is something that anyone should own.

"The first major commercial adoption of B2G/Firefox OS was seen around 2018 with KaiOS, a widely popular commercial fork of Firefox OS that promised to be a modern OS for inexpensive feature phones. Although KaiOS turned out to be disappointingly closed and oriented to tracking users and shipping advertising, it was quickly forked in GerdaOS, a custom ROM that promised to bring back some of the openness of Firefox OS to KaiOS devices such as newer Nokias, and kill the intrusive user trackers in the process."
Isn't this kind of missing the forest for the trees? Why would you want to interview or be interviewed anonymously? Perhaps whatever biases may exist should be addressed in all of the outcomes along the way that lead to that unfavorable situation...
At our school, 100% of teachers are women. One Hundred Percent. 97% of administrative staff is also women. In all of hair saloons in my area, 100% of staff is women. All of the nurses in our nearby hospital are women. They don't care about diversity and I do not think it is due to bias. I think they simply don't have enough men applying in their pipeline for these jobs. None of their CEOs have insisted in enforcing population statistics on to their employee statistics.
> The US Supreme Court is unusual in running roughshod over the political process as much as it does.

This is in part because the US legal system is based on common law / case law, whereas most of Europe is based on civil law.
Honest question: if the different list lengths are relevant to the business and they are not in the types, where do you think they go?

They surely don't disappear, just like type errors and bugs don't disappear in dynamically typed languages.

No, it's just that instead of in the code they are now in your head (but not your coworkers head). Is this really better?
This looks pretty awesome!

Is it stretching the definitions of data-plane and control-plane? Data-plane is the reverse proxy users interact with.. maybe it does make sense.

Seriously, who wants these VR systems? Have we evolved to the point where giant tech companies no longer require customers? Even the high end-VR games I've played in the mall aren't as convincing as a standard PC/Console game. From what I've seen a mere 260k VR units were sold in 2022. Smartphones were already selling 47 million units in 2010.

Where are the lines around the corner? where are the reports of sold out VR headsets? I haven't been able to buy a GPU for years, but I'm willing to bet I'll find a discounted quest if I go looking.
I'd say that "self-hosting" is defined by where your processing and data reside, who controls these.

But if you want to be accessible to the outside world, you need to direct your traffic outside; I don't see a substantial difference between routing your traffic through Cloudflare, Comcast, Equinix, or any other major connectivity provider.
No slippery slope there. Nope...no way that could go wrong. Definitely no long track record of examples where it has gone wrong. Nopety nope nope nope...
i bought a laptop from a linux-first company. a laptop designed for linux, with custom hardware and OS and all. i feel very miserable using it. my solace is that it is not my main device.

on this very day, i had to disable tap-to-click on the trackpad. so no, comments like the above are true.

i would not recommend a linux laptop to anyone. the used Thinkpad and Dell folks are the exceptions, not the norm.

I don't think 11% is tiny at all. According to the article, that's 136 people. At an extremely low-end conservative cost of $200k per employee (I'm sure it's more than that), that's nearly $30M per year. If they truly believe that $30M wasn't being spent well, that's good money saved.

I'd aim a little closer to that 1b than 5. Most of the "whale" cash cow games have their own launchers and don't split the revenues. Wow, cod, most MMOs, lol, fortnite, etc all huge franchises with zero steam. Since steam takes 30% or less depending on on agreements, they make good money, but not insane.

My company is the opposite. It is a totem pole. The CEO is at the head, then there is a single person below them, and one person below them, and one person below them, and so on.

This is essentially no hierarchy, and everyone interacts with a few levels below them, and everyone is expected to deliver on product (basically, program).

This works because it is actually really hard to get anything done if you're managing more than 1 person.
Oh I love stuff like this. I'm always looking for that little tool that scratches itches I hadn't yet articulated, and this is one of them.

> Women aren't being systematically oppressed ~ but confidence issues might lead them to believe that they are, even if they can't identify any actual causes.

I'm not sure how you can come to that conclusion.

Most women do not have career role models in our profession, or even most positions of power. Young women don't have examples of successful female computer scientists or engineers they can relate to.

And many women still come from households where their grandparents or parents told them that their main purpose in life is to be submissive and supportive of a breadwinner husband and anything else is degenerate deviation.

What's more, too many men discriminate against confident women; there's several studies that show that confident men are perceived as strong but confident women are perceived and oppressive or difficult to work with.
That's not true, actually. React will re-use DOM elements wherever possible, even replacing the contents or individual attributes, or changing the order. But manual DOM operations with jQuery tend to be much more coarse-grained simply because they're so tedious, so what you say is likely completely opposite of the truth.
It takes an herculean amount of effort to counter misinformation.

Deep state, conspiracy, Dr. Who is paid by Pfizer. Heads you lose; tails you lose. All of that crap. It's a losing game that keeps you on the defensive. You can cite facts and evidence but your up against memes essentially to reduce the sound bite to its essence. They will make shit up and have fake experts to support their positions and publish it in second tier places including substack. It drives clicks. Mainstream news orgs cite twitter of all places.

All you can do is encourage critical thinking which means asking people to explain their positions and being genuinely curious about their answers.
Yes, I do realize this. I'm arguing that people's privilege is theirs. It's not yours to redistribute as you see fit. The situation you're describing is reality - an inevitable consequence of human social biology.

When you belong to a minority, you navigate the world on the majority's terms. This is true everywhere but only in the US do people seem to get bent of of shape about it. The saying is "When in Rome, do as the Romans do". How would you mutilate this phrase so that it conforms to your worldview?
> groundwater AND oil and gas withdrawal

I'm not qualified to speak to which of the two they found in Spring/The Woodlands, but it's not restricted to oil and gas drilling.

According to https://www.texas-drilling.com/harris-county/spring there are 2 gas drilling leases in Spring. https://www.texas-drilling.com/montgomery-county/the-woodlan... shows 2 oil/gas leases.
I wouldn't even say Steam works well. The UI is laggy and clunky, the mobile app is a joke (literally worse than the web version). But it's good enough, it beats learning something new, especially since all game launchers seem to have some flashy custom UI instead of standard widgets.
Creating the metaverse as merely a skeumorphic copy of the real world seems like such a boring imaginative failure and wasted opportunity. You can form this digital medium in any way you can envision. Why limit it to bars, houses, offices, avatars, and other humdrum aspects of normal life. Instead let's push our creativity to the limit.

I'd like to see something completely unreal and unlike anything possible to experience irl, and yet interactive, explorable, and as a result something we can build intuitions about how it works. Imagine if Brett Victor, Shigeru Miyamoto, Steve Jobs, Pablo Picasso, and Stanley Kubrick all went on an acid trip together, and collectively envisioned a virtual reality unbound by any of the forms of the real world, yet with a set of consistent rules learnable via interaction and exploration.

I imagine something like that could be enlightening and mind-expanding, and far more interesting and compelling than what Zuck has envisioned thus far. That's the metaverse I'm holding out for.

> why is giving historically disadvantaged people a crutch to lean on so bad?

Policies like this don't really change the number of disadvantaged people who are hired. To do that, they'd have to reduce the number of elites who are hired, and that doesn't happen.

Instead, these policies help disadvantaged people of some races by shutting out disadvantaged people of other races.
i agree the masking was not sufficient. there's no sample of how a masked man's voice sounds but tbh i'd have guessed stereotypical gay male for the masked woman.

like when i talk vs. my female peers i notice my voice doesn't rise in pitch at the end of a phrase, or go creaky. i also notice differences in word choice: it's crazy the number of people i hear saying "perfect" instead of just "thanks" when i send over a document, and definitely more women doing that than men. they also seem to qualify their words more with "i think" or "maybe" preceding a statement.

anyway i'm guessing i could do an ok job of guessing male vs female with them modulated like this.

It’s just as difficult to swallow a $15K cloud bill and companies do that every month. They will have money to buy employees VR equipment to improve productivity with the money they saved on real estate.
In the last decade I have never paid more than $0.00 for an iPhone. Just wait for mobile carriers to offer free phones. I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon 2 weeks ago and got a 128gig iPhone 13 mini for free. I actually wanted the SE because I like the home button but it was $400 some bucks. Carriers are constantly having promos like that when they have excess stock, the promos are just not always advertised.
1500$/employee is cheaper than flying them to an offsite. Heck you could buy 100 of these and ship them to employees temporarily for their offsite.
I'm not sure what we're supposed to find astonishing about academics (like most of humanity) being vulnerable to reputation biases in their reasoning.

As in, that would be the null hypothesis. It would be astonishing if most academics overcame it.

It can have an impact on the margin for special purposes initially (ambulance, airport transfers), but then could trickle down. Imagine they’re as prevalent as taxis.
No human will ever enjoy the feeling of a giant block on their face. Even if the quest was 100x higher res it will never be "default" since it limits peripheral awareness, motion, causes eye strain.

I get Zuck's philosphy on upping the human-computer paradigm to the natural next step but imo horizontal screens at a comfortable 1-10 feet from your eyes will remain unchallenged until seamless brain controlled holograms become a thing.
Maybe because it can then also cater to audiences who do not generally visit such sites or reading long-er articles.

or maybe it recapture reader's attention, there recently (or always have been) this idea that if you don't like what you are reading you can move on and not waste your time especially with books. But most people generally want to know how that thing ends. So they make a quick decision how little time they have to spend based on the percentage of the reading material remaining.

Either way a reading progress bar is a UX improvement and has nothing to do with the intellect of the reader.
