And you're making the mistake of equating money and power. Power gets you money, but money doesn't necessarily get you power. It can take generations for New Money to be treated as a peer in some very important circles.

For all the titanically, record-setting dumb stuff Trump has said, he was right about one thing. Filing for bankruptcy (three times?) didn't make him poor. He just needed to collect more favors denominated in cash than he gave out in order to get back on his feet. Influence is not taxed, and for all the noise we make about taxing the rich fairly, that will only slow them down a little.

There is an exchange rate between attention and influence. Yes those systems are fueled by money, but in the same way a heat pump is fueled by electricity - highly leveraged.
Based on what numbers? At a 6.6% loan, putting down 5% rather than 20% will increase your monthly payment by over 25%, on interest alone, ignoring PMI.

Are there any schemes besides racket with interactive edebug style debugging support in emacs?
Sure, it’s important not to overindex on short term fluctuations.

But their employment expense and headcount growth is far, far ahead of their revenue growth. A recession next year is pretty much inevitable at this point due to inflation dynamics and Fed policy.

Having their stock get hammered even worse as revenues contract and margin compression eats into earnings is going to lead to many more problems for them in the future than if they just slow the pace of hiring now.

They may even be doing layoffs this time next year, which is much easier to avoid if you don’t overhire leading into a recession

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted, but it may be that Libet's findings have been brought into question.

"people’s subjective experience of a decision—what Libet’s study seemed to suggest was just an illusion—appeared to match the actual moment their brains showed them making a decision."[1]

In short, Libet's findings may have been an experimental error related to noisy brain activity.

That is the letter of the law, but that has not been the interpretation (re: a 2020 appellate ruling mentions this)

> If something has no legal uses to speak of, but has illegal ones

We are talking about making chemicals illegal as soon as they are discovered, or even before they are discovered. There's no way to know what legal uses they might have if no one gets to use them.

Due to this kind of stigma it's taken decades for people to accept that ketamine is one of the safest and most effective forms of treatment for depression, for example, while many migraine sufferers report that low doses of psychedelics are an effective treatment - something very dear to me as a sufferer of migraines, although unfortunately I haven't found that these work for me. Psychedelics are also a potential treatment for depression that needs further research. Then there's THC, an amazing drug for chronic pain sufferers and cancer patients, again mired in stigma because it's "illegal".

Sadly because reactionary politics it's taken decades to start to get legitimate testing done on these.

> dodgy... suppliers

Yes, when something is made illegal that's the only way to get hold of it.
Job Advice for Junior – Startup or SME?
Hello!

I've an excellent bsc in cs and now I applied for a fullstack position for both a startup and a medium sized enterprise. The startup Tech stack is Python in the back end and React/Angular in the frontend. Language is english thus international. 3 days home office. The SME on the other hand has legacy code to deal with based on old stack. It's at minimum 1 day home office but I got told! that it could be 2 or 3 after three months in. The spoken language is local to the country thus not international and the company is well known. I've already met the people at the SME when I made a visit for a day. Both pay the same. Now I'm asking myself whether I should start at a well known company with legacy code and boring tech and less home office available but nice perks like food and atmosphere or should I work at interesting tech at the startup with vibey people and more home office available? What leads to a better career path and where could I potentially specialize further? I was told at the startup interview that I have to be prepared to do a lot of context switching. Also I got diagnosed with ADD and I'm a little bit socially anxious.

Thanks for reading all this. Sorry for my english.
$13.9 billion profit is still an insane amount of money.
I’m not sure which person you are referring to, but it doesn’t matter if someone thought it would help. That’s not sufficient.

The rules vary somewhat from state to state, but in general a government order must be narrowly tailored to serve a legitimate government interest, there must be a rational basis for how the order will actually serve that interest, and it must not be arbitrary or capricious. It has to have all three or it’s out. Notably, “I thought it would help” isn’t quite on the list.

If you can explain why something might help, then that could form your argument for the rational basis test (although it would be better if you could explain how it _will_ help, rather than how it _might_ help). But the order had better meet all the other requirements as well.

There are often other requirements as well. The agency writing the order must have the explicit authority to do so. Some types of orders are limited ahead of time by legislation. For example, many states have a written maximum amount of time that any order based on a state of emergency can last. Etc, etc.
https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/gcc/ has old GCC versions. Eg checking the manpage gcc.1 from the 2.7 tarball there's inlining, loop unrolling, strength reduction, cse, peephole, instruction scheduling, jump threading, and others, probably better described in thebtexinfo doc.

There are opts not covered in the command line options. Eg see this discussion of tail call optimizations already in GCC 1.x: https://groups.google.com/g/gnu.gcc.bug/c/Zzbfyvi2uAM/m/GVDI...

Sure, later compilers did more, but the above-mentioned opts made GCC known as an optimizing compiler. And there were other optimizing compilers too, for C but also other languages.

Fortran compiler histories are interesting, they were doing their own thing on numerical code, SIMD (called vector processors back then), etc. Eg https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wiley/evaluation-of-fortran-vect...

This is ironic, considering the title of the article.
Of course Apple is for profit. Its duty to its shareholders are to maximize profit.

Apple consumers are willing to pay more for this "privacy" feature. But now they will question this if Apple starts selling ads.

You know what they used to call people who would not do something unless they were greeted with red carpet? A diva.

If you join the company, there will be a lot of things that will not work perfectly and yet you will be asked to do things anyway. Everything is in constant flux at any startup because of growth and at large companies things are broken because of entrenched mistakes.

If everything works perfectly it means the company obsesses over its internal processes to the point of ignoring everything else. Which is also a problem.

There exists no company that is in a state of change where everything works perfectly. And every non trivial company is always in a state of change.

If you can't get over one broken form you simply aren't cut for the job.
You’re welcome. :)
Knowing Intel, if this functionality was actually desired by hardware owners it would only be available on high end chipsets and i7+ processors.
I Don’t Like Notebooks – Joel Grus (2018)
On older safaris, the background skewed svg doesn't display correctly (which would be a safari problem but there are plenty of ways to underline text without being too clever by half) so it's not clear what should be matched, particularly when it involves trailing punctuation.
I remember the stories from Ed Catmull's book Creativity Inc. Although not that they tossed the movie out after almost deleting it anyway, like it's said in the article. The story about starting from scratch was that they left the team that did it alone, but it was their first movie and it fell flat. Reading about it then felt like a dick move and kind of questionable, but even more so later when I'd read that Lassiter, who was the most critical one, is a certified creep / jerk. So I don't know, but I guess if you're successful in the end your opinion is never questioned.
I don’t really understand how people put up with laptops in the first place, in terms of ergonomics.
I believe this is about to change in 22H2 Pro. You will need internet and microsoft account to set up. And a Pro license is a $1000 markup on consumer laptops, from what I've seen.
FWIW I personally found Rust the least-painful language, but that may well be confirming my pre-established biases :)

- With Zig I kept running into compiler bugs, plus no package manager (I’ve vendored SDL and Clap into the source tree)

- C++ I’d occasionally shoot myself in the foot in ways that other languages would have caught, plus no package manager (OS-level package management does an OK job, so long as you don’t mind using old versions, and faffing about with different operating systems acting very differently)

- The pain from Rust was one time where the compiler wanted me to specify a lifetime, and I didn’t understand, so I just spammed lifetime specifiers in various places until it compiled. I’ve been using Rust for a couple of years now and I still don’t really understand lifetimes, but thankfully 99% of the time I can avoid them.

- Nim was a relatively nice language but massively lacking in available libraries (like even parsing command line arguments took me a day just trying to find a library which worked)

- Go is pretty nice, my main pain is the tolerable but constantly-annoying verboseness of error handling (`err := foo(); if err != nil {return err}` compared to rust’s `foo()?`)

- PHP I just hate on a deep and personal level thanks to years of being a PHP4/5 developer. The language is actually mostly-ok-ish these days, but the standard library is still full of frustration like inconsistent parameter orders within a family of functions.

- Python is all-round really nice to write, but the test suite takes like 20 minutes to run, which really messes with my flow-state

Nice rhetoric yourself. I am sure big mega corp has nice checks in place to try and prevent these things, but no system is perfect, nor exhaustive. That's the problem when you are a data sink as a business, your #1 incentive is to keep the data flowing in.

You would think that when you hand someone your telephone number and they promise to secure it or only use it for a specific purpose, the onus is on them to prove they didn't misuse it.
> I have a feeling that Meta has some kind of internal system for slurping up everyone's contact info

Yes. It's called Facebook Messenger. All your friends have it installed on their phone and it has access to all the data in their phone's contact list, including anyone who might have saved it in the email field of their contact entry for you.

Right? Isn't this the oldest criticism of Facebook Messenger?

Coexistence Is Possible: Hyenas Exposed to Daytime Pastoralism Do Just Fine
Hey, I'm not opposed to Debian!

Devuan has init-script support for the packages in its repository. So it's open to the Debian maintainers to pull the scripts in; but they only want to support one init system, understandably. And the fact that nearly all other distros have systemd as a default init, it's natural that developers and maintainers are pleased with the systemd hegemony.

I'm just sorry that Debian made the decision it did. But Debian has always been the developers and maintainers; only incidentally the users. They were entitled to make that decision, and I think their process was exemplary.

[Edit] That "exemplary" process: actually I think it shouldn't have been pushed to the technical committee. It should have been a simple general resolution from the start. But I think the result would have been the same, and I found the debates very illuminating.
Forum commentators have predicted 100% of every collapse would be no big deal. 2008 wasn't just one thing: it was a cascade failure that progressed over the course of months. Nobody really knew how bad it was until we were down to the wire looking at a complete collapse of the financial system. Every downturn potentially breaks something big that was built on the assumption of infinite growth and had its tendrils into too many parts of the economy.

edit to add: we already see a drying up of ad spends. What happens in an economy built on selling ads, or selling services to people who sell ads when ads sales fail to meet expectations for too long? Everyone forgets data-driven advertising is what saved tech after the crash. Public opinion is rapidly turning against that savior.
More likely disabling them to prevent them from monitoring (naval) vessel traffic:

I think you replied to the wrong comment, mine was about zig vs C++.
Since RF spectrum is a very limited resource, everything is approached from a standpoint of "nothing is okay, unless it explicitly is". It is, rightly, tightly managed.

The things you mentioned are either in public bands (HAM, CB) or have long since gotten the same permission (sat phones).

The only reason this is newsworthy is because spacex/starlink. Headlines like "Satellite Phones BANNED (before the FCC approved their application)" don't get clicks.

Not everyone puts priorities in that order. For many people, religion is much, much more important than daycare.

Plus, any order which treats businesses differently is going to be arbitrary. If you can go to a school but not a bar, then that is arbitrary.

Does anyone here have the post handy where a user created a pipeline/IoT device to reward him with a treat of something he liked (I can't remember what the treat was, it was something niche from Costco or similar) whenever he pushed a CR/PR/commit?

I have looked everywhere for it and cannot find it.
As someone with a degree in mathematics I have to say that there has been nothing more helpful to understanding computer science than my mathematical education. Mathematics allows you to quickly digest new topics and make connections to stuff you already know.

He says he worked in a "CS job", but I am very certain that he worked as a programmer. And learning how to programm is a skill you learn during a CS/math/engineering/physics degree.

Of course most programmers do not need math. But everyone doing computer science does.

The issue here is that he is at a university and expects job training. This isn't actually his fault as it is what companies want, but it really should not be that way.

Universities are academic institutions and a CS student has no more right to complain about calculus as a physics student.

Facebook is the absolute worst with this, Google second.

We spend >$10m on ads annually on FB, yet haven't had a dedicated account rep since 2019.

Instead, they farm out "account marketing specialists" who pitch you on giving up more control to FB algo and generally have significantly less insight and experience with FB ads than the people they are calling.

One week last summer, I received 8 calls in a single day from different FB marking reps. I think they had some kind of call queue system based on the number of ad accounts, instead of on "Business manager" accounts, but it took a lot of firmly saying "Remove me from this list" and accusing them of phishing to get it to stop.

I just assumed I gave my cell to FB at some point, never thought of 2FA.

> You would think that when you hand someone your telephone number and they promise to secure it or only use it for a specific purpose, the onus is on them to prove they didn't misuse it.

How could this be acceptably proven, in your opinion, if at all? "This information has never been misused" is the null hypothesis; it can never be proven for certain, from the moment the information is out of your direct control.
That is not a statement of fact but a disclaimer of liability. I don't know how this plays out in other jurisdictions but it's hit epidemic levels here.

Some people get away with it though, like people with doctorates calling themselves Doctor on TV and giving out personal, relationship and medical advice while somehow managing not to be sued back to the Stone Age.

I don't see the problem. I want this tech. I paid good money for a laptop with a TPM and a secure UEFI config, let secure boot work for me instead of for Microsoft.

I don't trust these groups or corporations so I'll stick to custom keys for this stuff, but I think having a working group with a signed boot loader is much better than the current situation (Microsoft signs a shim that basically bypasses secure boot on some devices and then Linux users set up a Rube Goldberg machine of 4 different levels of bootloader to get verified boot working).

I'm running the MS shim right now and I don't see why the systemd shim would be worse in any way.
We do use difficult questions later in the process. I don't believe it's reasonable to put a difficult question right in the job application before the applicant even knows if we're going to respond.
