Your wording here is kind of vague. Are you saying that you would acquiesce to anything a boss requests?

What if it’s not the breakroom but a public bathroom? What if instead of cleaning it’s foot rubs? Would you taste test exotic foods for your boss? Babysit their kids?

If the answer to any of these is even remotely close to “yes”, then to you there is no such thing as a software engineer or a software engineer’s salary. There would only be only servants and sovereigns, and servants’ wages.
Sounds like you're having problems with WebRender? Maybe it's unhappy with your graphics card or something. Definitely worth filing a bug and attaching your about:support.

I used to have much more minor issues that are somewhat similar to what you describe, but they've been fixed for the last year or so. (I run Nightly all the time, on Linux, and generally have remarkably few issues with it.)

100% agree about Boston - it's basically an East Coast version of the Bay Area, but software is very clearly overshadowed by Biotech/Pharma and the tech industry leans cybersecurity+defense (not a problem for me personally, but a harder industry for your stereotypical HN commentator to break into tbh).

And I agree that Denver and SLC are both similar as well, but they don't have as deep and diverse a white collar environment yet. As a Bay Area native, only other metropolitan I've seriously considered living long term are Boston, DC, Seattle, and San Diego. But not all of them are one-to-one similar to the Bay.
When asked, I tell people the only Microsoft products I recommend are Excel and SQL Server. And I am not so sure about SQL Server because of its price.

Why do all these niceties go out the window when the alternative is an iPad?

Based on the use case, a simple last-gen iPad should do the job just as well.
Wow thanks for reading my page and looking at the examples. I appreciate your time.

There's a few bugs in that code. Sorry for presenting something that obviously wasn't ready. I didn't use location when I insert into that position in the btree. And the node spliting code has an error.

And thanks for reformatting the code.

It's a very rough design. The critical insight over many algorithms is hidden in one character or line. Such as a strategic -1 or +1 or pattern of recursion that means it becomes understandable.

I find when writing code the structure of the code is more important than the calculation or addition or subtraction. Which is surprising because computers are calculators. The structure of traversal, laying out data in memory and structure of the jumping around instructions in memory is harder than the core insight of a division, or subtraction or addition or append or +1 or if statement here or there.

When I write recursive code I often want to refer to outer context of an outer recursion. So that's the meaning of the "deepest"

I just posted something for free on FB marketplace. Someone almost immediately contacted me via FB messenger "interested" in my item. They asked me to txt them (area code was same as my city). I texted them.

Then, they asked me to verify a code and send the 5 digit code to them. Sure, ok (lol). I receive a code from google voice. Then they got really angry because I sent them 69420. I then tried to send them some tubgirl (nsfw) pictures, but apparently they don't see those.

About 20 minutes later, I got yet another "person" doing the same exact thing, but by then, I was bored and just blocked them.

OT, but this seems a place to ask... Has anyone heard of a pedagogically nice color space?

I'm currently kludging - using CAM16UCS within sRGB gamut, but outside, where it gets badly hue nonlinear, I'm "straighten it up a bit" using Jzazbz, slightly fluffing out the visible gamut. And then packaging that as lookup tables.

For pedagogically nice, let's say "looks plausible" and "isn't grossly misleading". So a wide-gamut perceptual space, with large-scale euclidean distances at least eyeball plausible, not-too-dreadful hue linearity, and avoids high-profile space features which are mere model artifact and not perception characteristic. Sort-scale distance is much less important, and computability not at all.

Root-motivation backstory is I'm struggling to find community, around a philosophy of science education content creation, that collaboratively applying vastly greater-than-usual domain expertise is needed to escape current wretchedness. And thought a worked example might help. So web interactives for teaching color, emphasizing spectra and color space, for early primary. Where color is commonly taught, but with content and outcomes notably poor, even by science education standards. I'm still not sure it will gell, but wiggle-3D voxel space with xkcd color names, banana spectra, video cartoon shaders, zooming to physical pixels, et al, has at least been fun. Though low-hanging MVP it so isn't.
This is such awful advice. Some folks are lucky to have the job/identity thing going on, but for everyone else it's a means to an end, and that's fine.
This seems like one of those Eternal Problems that people, whether librarians, programmers, or hobbyists, stumble across, think they'll make headway in, then discover that they've really managed to progress just a few feet across a vast and hostile surface of landmines, pitfalls, and lures.

>> I'm sure other people will be able to share reasons their organizations use C++

Rust is great and offers a great path forward, but it was not around 20+ years ago when $BIG_PROJECT was written. C++ was around, popular, and useful so $BIG_PROJECT was written in C++. $BIG_PROJECT made $BIG_COMPANY millions and is still in use today.

$BIG_PROJECT engineers are looking into migrating parts of $BIG_PROJECT to Rust, but the work is still early and the $BIG_PROJECT's millions of lines of C++ won't be replaced overnight. Improved, more uniform tooling for C++ would simplify maintenance for $BIG_PROJECT and make it easier to move $BIG_PROJECT to newer C++ toolchains and even other C++ toolchain vendors.

Maybe one day $BIG_PROJECT will migrate fully to Rust, or perhaps $BIG_PROJECT will be re-written from the ground up in Rust, but for now $BIG_PROJECT has to work.

Optional forests of hierarchy trees are where it's at. Essentially don't encode everything into one gigantic one.

Sometimes you know that users are going to tag `laptop` a bunch and want that to also drag in `personal computer` (but not all `PC`s are `laptop`s) or that `blue dress` is also a `dress` and don't want to hard code special cases.

That said, if you are going to do this, then you must have it controlled by an admin/moderator. Maybe allow for hierarchy request submissions but have it moderated. There is at least one public system where this just works to my knowledge and a bunch of self-hosted ones as well.
If you follow Ted's arguments, the hobbies of wealthy aristocrat classes are perhaps the purest example of surrogate activities. He explains the concept of surrogate activities using leisured aristocrats as his prime example:

38. But not every leisured aristocrat becomes bored and demoralized. For example, the emperor Hirohito, instead of sinking into decadent hedonism, devoted himself to marine biology, a field in which he became distinguished. When people do not have to exert themselves to satisfy their physical needs they often set up artificial goals for themselves. In many cases they then pursue these goals with the same energy and emotional involvement that they otherwise would have put into the search for physical necessities. Thus the aristocrats of the Roman Empire had their literary pretensions; many European aristocrats a few centuries ago invested tremendous time and energy in hunting, though they certainly didn't need the meat; other aristocracies have competed for status through elaborate displays of wealth; and a few aristocrats, like Hirohito, have turned to science.

39. We use the term "surrogate activity" to designate an activity that is directed toward an artificial goal that people set up for themselves merely in order to have some goal to work toward, or let us say, merely for the sake of the "fulfillment" that they get from pursuing the goal. Here is a rule of thumb for the identification of surrogate activities. Given a person who devotes much time and energy to the pursuit of goal X, ask yourself this: If he had to devote most of his time and energy to satisfying his biological needs, and if that effort required him to use his physical and mental faculties in a varied and interesting way, would he feel seriously deprived because he did not attain goal X? If the answer is no, then the person's pursuit of goal X is a surrogate activity. Hirohito's studies in marine biology clearly constituted a surrogate activity, since it is pretty certain that if Hirohito had had to spend his time working at interesting non-scientific tasks in order to obtain the necessities of life, he would not have felt deprived because he didn't know all about the anatomy and life-cycles of marine animals. On the other hand the pursuit of sex and love (for example) is not a surrogate activity, because most people, even if their existence were otherwise satisfactory, would feel deprived if they passed their lives without ever having a relationship with a member of the opposite sex. (But pursuit of an excessive amount of sex, more than one really needs, can be a surrogate activity.)

Out of that list, working horrible hours at Amazon looks preferable.
> according to David Niekerk, a former Amazon HR Vice President.

That isn't a nobody. He was a major HR guy for Amazon for over 15 years. I knew his name in passing when I was working there, and met his daughter who was a rising star at the warehouse in Phoenix.

Wild to hear him speaking out against Amazon when he honestly built a lot of the system.
Until you test it for yourself, I wouldn't get so excited. I disagreed with their conclusion entirely in another comment already, as did several other people.
Not sure if you are in the US, but here what you are saying is absolutely not true for most people. Most of the country is so incredibly car centric that there’s absolutely no way you could bike 30 miles across a city. And then in most places the public transit is incredibly bad.

For example, I am a 40 minute, 30 mile drive from the city center. Most people in this area would consider that a reasonable commute. It would take 2 and a half hours to bike that distance in melting Florida heat and heavy aggressive traffic. It would take 2 hours by a succession of busses.

If I wanted to live a nice bikeable distance from the business center, I would pay dearly for it home price.

It didn’t have to be like this, but at this point we are so committed to suburban car-centric sprawl that there is now way back for most of the country and things like walkability, bike friendly and rapid public transit are going to remain luxury goods.

> It's especially interesting with good case studies for how to model an advanced tag system in a graph database

I wouldn't accuse it of being a good tag system, nor a true graph database, but one thing to look at is Semantic MediaWiki. It's a MediaWiki extension which takes Categories as a starting point, and extends it quite far with e.g. relations and key-value pairs.

One interesting feature of Semantic MediaWiki is called "Concepts" which are essentially "computed tags." They can be used in place of Categories in most places, but while Categories are set by editors on a piece of content, Concepts are defined by a query against Categories or other properties. This can help bridge gaps between different types of tags that represent different ways of thinking about the content.

> More important [...] the verbosity helps when reading code to know that something out of the ordinary is going on

This applies to JS as well with its strict equality check (triple equals). Bad practices within the NodeJS ecosystem, however, have led to circumstances where triple equals has been cargo culted as the "right" thing to do for any equality comparison. The consequences of this include code that is more verbose, is no more type safe (and often doesn't do the right thing for some inputs—whereas with double equals, in contrast, it would...), and that the appearance of triple equals is no longer a strong signal that there's something happening that's worth paying attention to.

>" the most obvious motive for Russia to blow the pipeline: For Russia to show that it could, and it would. That the pipeline nominally benefits Russia is useful ambiguity."

I don't follow this reasoning. The kind of expertise required to detonate a bomb underwater is likely something any developed country with a reasonably equipped navy/intelligence agency could pull off. Unlike something like Stuxnet, this seems rudimentary in comparison. As dysfunctional and diminished as Russia may be today, I don't think anyone assumed this was something they couldn't do.
> I think the argument for why it’s copyright violation today is pretty compelling.

I still don't see how there is any footing for a copyright infringement claim here, given that users who put public code on github.com explicitly grant GitHub a license to use that code to provide services to other GitHub users.

that license grant is above and beyond what any specified license terms the repo itself grants to users of the code.

you literally grant GitHub the right to do this when you put your code on github.com.

I have this conviction that I ought to be able to code up crude audio DSP processors before I understand the totality of the theory.

For example, every DFT/FFT explanation seems to start with complex numbers. I wish there was a resource that was programming focused, starting with "Step 1: Process this artificially created periodic signal by multiplying it by sine waves of frequencies from from 1 to N. There are our bins! Step 2: OK, for real world signals we need phase, so now let's talk about complex numbers."

I've been studying math for a while trying to build up the prerequisites for writing audio DSP code. I have this sneaking suspicion that at the end what I want to achieve won't be as hard as DSP resources imply. At least there will be parts that I could have done with hardly any theory at all. But because of the way these resources are written, I have to consume massive amounts of theory first.

(For background, I've worked as a mastering engineer and have done a fair amount of audio production, so I know intimately what the tools ought to do.)
That seems very unrealistic to suggest, to me.

I'm a Chief Product Officer at the moment with both experience around product design, UX/UXR, product management — but also a very deep software engineering background.

I certainly have some blind spots, but it's a real advantage to be able to communicate a cohesive narrative and build "one" team (with lots of fantastic disciplines and even, at times, some intentional silo'ing). I can describe the why behind our prioritization, but also keep in view the strategic engineering investments we'll make to support our product vision over the long-term. Will it scale forever? Who knows.

But I absolutely believe in fully-integrated product teams. You can really ship some amazing work when you get it right.

So, Linus Torvalds, who rejected calls for code written in C++ to be accepted into the Linux kernel for decades because he thought that the extra features it provides were not worth the added complexity it would bring, has decided to allow Rust support in Linux because... he suddenly got infected with brain worms that made him want to be a crowd-following blogger writing commentary for internet upvotes?

And not because he thinks Rust might be able to solve actual problems in kernel development?
