The statement suggests a belief there is some information in the ratio.

Google tends toward about a dozen engineers per PM overall. It varies across the org depending on the product. Google is explicitly pro PM. The CEO was one. There is no information in the ratio.
Agreed. The "annoying" part is that I accidentally created one folder, then several more in trying to figure out the issue. Several IMAP clients I've tried show me those folders even after deleting them and emptying the trash, so the UI is permanently cluttered unless I can repurpose them. Fortunately "move" and "rename" folder still seem to work.
I’ve turned it off as well and go raw. It doesn’t work period when talking about new concepts. No issues so far. People are more forgiving about typos these days anyway.
I understood it the other way my bad.

I guess, Im still confused why should I worry about nut jobs who hate jews? How is it my responsibility?
Yes, but the initial report was in Daily Mail, which is far-right. This is what I was referring to.

They picked up a story and sensationalized it. Without that report, this wouldn’t be a story because this kind of research is done all the time and no one makes a big deal out of it.
Could be regulation and legal issues as well. Probs is.
Neat idea, why not call it Siloquy? I like this name much more, and it's a bit more intuitive imho ;)

Just love this attitude from a webmaster and the Discmaster site works just as expected - straight forward and eminently effective.

Now I compare this with a similar archive site that appeared on HN about a day ago—one dedicated to the works of the analytical philosopher Willard Van Orman Quine. This excruciatingly slow JavaScript-ridden site was so bad that I tried three different browsers before I could get to the archive files and even then I couldn't download anything if I'd wanted to. Frankly, it is horrible site, one wonders why they bother when they make the user experience so utterly bad.

If one ever wants to see the damage bloated JavaScript has done to the web then there's not a much better example that to compare these two sites side by side.
I hope this means there's free WiFi on flights in the future.

I spent the weekend writing some code to generate pdf templates to send to my laser cutter for making custom boxes for minis. Downside - someone saw them and wanted some too and offered to pay. Upside - no way it generates profit once I account for dev time, material costs, and the cost of the laser cutter.

Other than that - working on some designs for a few small robots. One combat related the other education.
I don't think I am, at least speaking to the US, but if you've got a particular argument I'm open to hearing it.

-----------

Just as some related examples to illustrate that there's a whole lot of children not growing up in some idealized life though:

~23% of children in the US live with one parent and no other adults in the household.

~40% of children born to married parents in the US will see those parents divorce before they turn 18.

~40% of children are born to unmarried parents. I don't know where to find what the rate for those parents splitting up is, but I'll assume it's probably not better than the married ones.

1/7 children experienced abuse or neglect in the past year, 1/4 will at some point in their childhood.
And somewhat immediately, my brain assumes that people will use the booths to join the mile-high club. Virtually, of course.

Diaper changes can end by mid-year 2. Sleepless nights can be mostly eased well within a year.

Of course, there's always random suck. I had a crisis that I was receiving texts up till 3AM... and then my 8 year old showed up with a stomachache at 3:30AM.

Totally unregulated capitalism is what cartel wars are.

A prohibition on murder is a regulation. In a totally free market a corporation could murder to obtain market advantage. This is what criminal economics involves.

But of course free market zealots won't want to allow unregulated murder. There's no assurance of property rights (which is also regulation). So there are no true free market advocates, merely people that want to set the regulation boundary to the point that maximally benefits them.
Looks like they should have applied for Covid Relief - like the way hundreds of thousands of US businesses did. It was Covid that broke them not loss of religion.
IIRC, there was also dev kits for Windows RT around the same time with the same or similar names which added to incompatibilities and confusion. The only sharable source was non-UI core code, or perhaps hand-altered variations of UI file type contents.

It's one thing to develop versions for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. It's another if the UX source elements can't be shared within the MS ecosystem Phone, RT, x86 metro apps.

“But I contradict myself”
The financial system in the US is so out of date.

Not only are the chip-less cards obsolete, cards in general are very dated.

But it goes way beyond that. In fact the entire system is full of patchwork legacy nonsense.

The starting point is this: imagine you are creating a new digital banking system from scratch. How can you ensure:

A) that people can make secure payments in person and online without having to give out secrets such as debit card numbers and

B) the integrity of the entire system, such as preventing banks from finding creative ways to add funds to their friends' accounts?

Its worth learning about digital signatures and block chains.

And compare the current system to that.
And that's a problem, isn't it? I shouldn't have to be immersed in a culture to use the system. You've traded usability and user experience for ... a cultural in-joke. "Hi, this is AO3, and our tags aren't anything like anyone else's tags, but we're still gonna call them tags" is a problem. It's like if I made a search bar and it returned random results. It says search, but culturally, we give you random results. That's how we do it.

That's why we developed librarianship.
I agree with your broader point, but this statement strikes me as odd:

> "I recall seeing a lot of articles indicating that there was a surge of young people in ER and articles showing obituaries of young people in order to hammer home the message that it was a real danger to them too. The problem is the official statistics didn't back that message up to the degree that it needed to, so you had this big disconnect that was exploited heavily by conspiracy theorists. "

That seems like whitewashed phrasing for what was, at best, manipulation and at worst, outright lies. The 'official statistics' were hidden from everyone, and particularly the young, because telling someone under 40 that their IFR for COVID was only about 5-10X what it is for the flu just isn't that scary.

Serious question, but isn't anything that is a "married priest" not actual catholicism, as it would be recognized and approved by church HQ in Rome?

Curious why they didn't partner with Stadia, or perhaps offer to take it over/buy it. Pretty cool tech, at least. Unless they are just going for simple remote based TV games.
> I love how everyone involved always jumps on the most extreme version of the lab leak hypothesis "Chinese government made COVID super weapon" and then use that to discount everything else instead of admitting the much more nuanced reality of the situation.

I think a decent argument could be made that this phenomenon (in its abstract form, not specifically this variation of it) is more dangerous than covid, or even a virus much more dealy. Who knows how much damage this does to the world considering how widely it exists?
Indeed. Some sailors are amongst the greatest people I've met. And their language was salty.

Language is communication. Context is important. You don't bust into a church or interview swearing loudly. You don't try to communicate every thought with a curse word.

But fuck it, they are handy sometimes.

It'd be curious to see if there's any uptick in book sales too, but considering you are not directly selling them, that data might be out of reach.
> - Read to your young children regularly. Ideally, every day. This is something my father did with me when I was very young and I can't express how wonderful it was.

...as long as it's a good book.

My mom thinks I love books because she did this with us. I haven't told her that whenever she did this I was just ignoring it and off in my own imagination, or watching other kids playing in the distance when we were outside - if anything she turned me off of reading for years because she chose books I found boring, and I didn't know anything else existed. It was much later I found sci-fi and came to it on my own.
I just made tags nosql, it's stored as json data in pg with a user set to each tag.

I think the relation was that each user could have mutlitple posts that each contain multiple tags.

Where each tag is global with an user ids stored with the user Id as the key. Or something approximatating that.

Mainly to not need insane queries for many to many relationships. O(1) baby.
D: That's no good. I wonder why they quit.

If I might inject a tangent: I was dismayed when LaserMonks, the laser printer toner cartridge recycler, went out of business some years back.

I'd much rather buy products from non-profits and worker co-ops than from corporations who don't have the same values or motivations.
> Texas gets a flush of money that could easily go to paying teachers more through its recapture system that is supposed to go to education

I'd be curious about how popular a straight-up pay raise for teachers is with voters. Not an education budget boost. Just raising pay on the argument that it will let the district/state attract the best candidates.
No, what you're describing is non-discriminatory hiring. Removing bias and discrimination from hiring is non-controversial across the political spectrum.

Diversity initiatives are the opposite. It's explicitly not about who's best, it's about the unrelated goal of a workplace that is racially diverse.
It honestly makes me so sad to see how people judge each other for living with their parents. I often read/contribute to r/PersonalFinance on Reddit the most common attitude there seems to be that people living with their pares stealing free rent.

Why is it so hard for people to believe that someone might just love their family and wish to spend a significant portion of their adult life enjoying and nurturing those relationships?

It's interesting, for a while the wisdom was that seeing Fibonacci numbers everywhere was a real stretch and they aren't as common as they're presented in popular culture. Guess the pendulum's swinging back a bit.

> Look at the popularity of Jupyter notebooks, Julia, etc.

Neither of these (inherently) have the kind of "live programming" environment that the original comment was talking about.

Jupyter notebooks have a different reproducibility problem though, with how easy it is to create hidden state. But they're not intended to be used in production at all anyway, so the problem mainly affects pedagogical and information sharing use cases.

Julia with the Revise.jl package installed and loaded comes kinda close to the live programming model - but the state is always preserved in the source file necessarily with Revise (and it's a development tool too, not one loaded in production).
Since you mentioned it alongside Jupyter, maybe you meant the Pluto notebook for Julia? There too the state is always preserved, both in terms of packages (with Julia's usual Manifest file) and in terms of your code (no hidden state like Jupyter, since it's a reactive notebook).
How is this so much more annoying to you than two people who know each other sitting next to you and talking or possibly as weird as this is gonna sound like maybe they were not completely anti-social people and just met and started talking?

When the iPhone launched, Apple talked a lot about how the typing system worked.

What I remember is that it sounded like pretty simple lookups. As you typed, the software compared your word to, essentially, a weighted dictionary to guess what you were going to type next.

If you typed “b” it was flummoxed. But if you typed “behav” it knew the next letter was almost certainly going to be “e” or “i” (for behavior). It may have been more complicated than that, but probably not much. It was 2007 and the phone CPU was not powerful.

One interesting thing I remember is that they said the phone enlarged the touch targets for highly predicted next letters. For example it would be easier to type an “e” than a “w” after you had typed “behav”, because the tap boundary expanded around the “e”. Cool stuff!

And if you did type behavw and hit space, it would autocorrect to behave.

At some point I recall Apple announcing that they had switched autocorrect to a full machine learning implementation. Rather than a simple deterministic look-up, it was trained on a huge corpus of text, and reads the whole chunk of what you’ve written so far to make predictions. Everyone does this now, it’s how they deliver the (incredibly annoying and stupid IMO) one-tap suggestions for email and text replies. “Thanks!” “Noted.” “I’ll get right on that.”

In my memory, that’s when typing got a lot more annoying on iPhones. The quality of suggestions went either down or weirdo or both. For example it just tried to sub-in “Quaker” for “quality” in the previous sentence. Why??
The "it works on my machine" meme killed me.
Counterpoint: I've seen the fallout when you get teams of very smart technical people who don't have the product management skill set.

They:

- Prioritize building the wrong thing

- Don't prioritize customer interviews and think they know what is best for users, which can be a double whammy when you consider social skills are not always a strength of very technical people

- Don't understand the role marketing or sales plays in the success of the product because of their limited understanding of those roles and preconceived notions that prevent them from collaborating effectively

I've also met plenty of supposed technical people who fail to ship code or grasp some of the technical concepts for the work they are supporting.
Yes, but that’s easily handled with a trigger. My first implementation actually had a regular join table of items_tags which used a trigger to update the items.tags intarray. Wasn’t super performant but let us use our existing templates for 1-many to implement the UI.

Nowadays you can just use a tagging component with integrated search for the UI.
the gp is not saying discord is a better protocol, they’re saying 1) no one cares about activitypub as a protocol because it has one de facto implementation that deviates from the protocol and 2) making something new is easier when the goal is making something people actually use

I spent some of my free time learning how to work with Emscripten. So far, as an output, I have tiny sample files that can be used to start new projects:

- https://github.com/antoineMoPa/emscripten-webgl-sample-code

I think the next step is to try doing the same with Rust.
Having worked in anti-abuse for nearly 20 years this is spot on. Even if it were possible, publishing “the algorithm” isn’t going to solve anything. It’s not like it can be published in secret or avoid being instantly obsolete.

All of this is an exercise balancing information asymmetry and cost asymmetry. We don’t want to add more friction than necessary to end users, but somehow must impose enough cost to abusers in order to keep abuse levels low.

Unfortunately for us, it generally costs far less for attackers to bypass systems than defenders to sustain a block.

As defenders we work to exploit things in our favor - signals and scale. Signals drive our systems be it ML, heuristics, signatures (or more likely a combination). Scale lets us spot larger patterns in space or time. At a cost. 99%+ effective systems are great, but at scale 99% is still not good enough. Errors in either direction will slip by in the noise; especially targeted attacks.

As a secondary step, some systems can provide recourse for errors. Examples might include temporary or shadow bans, rate limiting, error reporting, etc. Unfortunately, cost asymmetry comes into play again. It is far more costly to effectively remediate a mistake than it is to report one. We’re back to cost asymmetry.

All of this is suboptimal. If we had a better solution, it would be in place. Building and maintaining these systems is expensive and won’t go away unless something better comes along.

tl;dr version: assholes ruin it for everyone.

Israel put an AI tracking machine gun on a pickup and used it to take out an Iranian nuclear scientist. Surely Ukraine can pull off something similar.
This school year, is the first that my wife hasn't taught, since she became a teacher. I watched over the last two years, as the pandemic beat her down, until she had to move on. You can only get physically and mentally abused, while being underpaid, for so long, before it becomes too much of a sacrifice.
Agree with everything, and additionally I keep getting off-by-1-key typos that I didn't have years ago. Especially (for some reason) when trying to type space or backspace.
Not answering your question but Patricia Lockwood (one of my favorite authors) wrote a very amusing memoir called Priestdaddy about growing up with a father who was a Catholic priest (having converted from Anglicanism I believe). The book also doesn't really answer your question, but it's fantastic despite the awful name.

> Personally, I learned long ago to avoid discussing anything about parenting with people who make childfree part of their outward identity, because it seems they only want to argue that my experience as a parent is somehow wrong or invalid.

Aren't you doing that exact thing when saying this:

> It's possible that your "openly childfree" status is biasing your conversations with others toward viewpoints that support your childfree identity.

GP never argued that you're wrong or your perspective is invalid, just that there's a spectrum of experiences, and that you shouldn't expect everyone to have the same experiences you do, and that you shouldn't blindly encourage others based on your own experience. It's one thing if you know the person well and can point at specific things about them you think suggest they would enjoy parenthood, but it's not something that be laid down as a blanket statement.
Sounds like a good life lesson for children: if you want to live freely, don't tell the state what you're doing.
