Waiters put the bits of paper they're writing on on a rack in the kitchen. Other times, they shout out the orders and remember which table gets what.
Burning dung or wood in a little stove in the house is far worse. A huge part of the world would dream to have an energy grid in which there are centralized power plants that burn coal and distribute energy to every home without the need to spend many hours each day collecting scraps of wood and other biomaterials in order to be able to cook for and heat your household.

They also deserve to develop, and in fact nothing can stop them from developing. In an ideal world, we are all powering the world from nuclear reactors and a reliable grid, but we haven't gotten there yet.
Alternatively you can keep them around for 2 years and pay $840M in compensation.

Closing the sarcasm, yes, layoffs have costs (various costs, including to the morale), but there are reasons why organisations do them anyways.
Agree with the poster. Much better IMHO and more enjoyable back then.

Because of the software distribution model then there was a real effort to produce a quality product. These days not so much. Users are more like beta testers now. Apps get deployed with a keyboard input. The constant UI changes for apps (Zoom comes to mind) are difficult for users to keep up with.

The complexity is way way higher today. It wasn't difficult to have a complete handle on the entire system back then.

Software developers where valued more highly. The machines lacked speed and resources - it took more skill/effort to get performance from them. Not so much of an issue today.

Still a good job but I would like seek something different if I was starting out today.
> don't install the software that opens it?

Bwahaha!

But what if I WANT to install software that opens it? Like MongoDB for example? What could be wrong if I just install some MongoDB to run $softwarename, right? Nothing wrong could happen, yes?

It seems perfectly reasonable to do both. One may want to cool the economy as a whole to fight inflation, while boosting the local semiconductor industry to gain some digital independence.
For the rank and file layoffs yes, you need to have a notice period and those people will probably get severance at least equal to that much pay. But C suite executives are another matter. It’s very likely that Elon Musk received access to information after taking control that supports a for cause dismissal.

What's with your slightly on-topic but mostly off-topic comments? Your post history almost looks like something written by GPT-3, following the same format and always linking to a lot of external resources that only briefly touch the subject.
Payers in general (not just insurance companies) require high levels of documentation both to prevent fraud and to increase care quality. Most healthcare providers are highly ethical and only act in their patients' best interest. But there are always a minority of bad actors who will try to boost revenue by submitting claims for procedures that weren't medically necessary, or weren't performed at all. So the system needs checks for that in order to hold down costs for everyone, and prevent iatrogenic harm.

You will also find many cases where even good providers let things slip through the cracks and fail to give some patients the appropriate level of care. For example, diabetics should generally receive annual foot exams, eye exams, and hemoglobin A1c tests. If the payer doesn't see evidence of those in the EHR then they can prompt the doctor to resolve that care quality gap.
Remix has some very clear second system advantages that become more apparent with usage. Next.js is trying to address many of their relative shortcomings in the 13 release. I would still advocate strongly for anyone to give Remix a try. Both are fine frameworks, at the end of the day.

They can do it because western democracies can't provide increasing material wealth anymore, and that was the promise that many people expected.

Now it remains to be seen if there's anybody bold enough to sell the dream of democracy without increasing material benefits.
One can have nerve without being arrogant.

One can have confidence and still be humble enough to be open to being wrong.

One can be idealistic without being cynical.

And you, and the people around you, will be happier and more effective because of it.

Some lessons I wish I had learned earlier in my career.
If you turn that tracked video into a panorama it would. Or if you took 10 zoomed photos and stitched them over top of an unzoomed photo. The point is that unless the task demands more focus areas than the eye can focus on in a given window then the visual acuity (for the parts of the scene that matter) is higher than an 8MP shot of the entire scene.
What does it mean for speech to be protected if not meaning to be protected from the consequences? Could I not say one is free to murder but one is not protected from the consequences of murder? I think we can break down government and non-government consequences, but given the previous discussions in the chain were on legality I think the discussion is already focused on government consequences. As a side note I think the non-government consequences can then be broken down further to legal and illegal actions, with the idea the only consequences you aren't protected from are the legal non-government consequences.
It's probably worth looking for Twitter lists as there are a lot of mech eng people on Twitter plus a lot of generalist accounts for university engineering departments, blog aggregators, etc.

In the mobile app, look up "mech eng" etc., find a reasonably good profile under People, biased toward posting AND retweeting, then tap the dot-menu & "Lists They're On". Look for lists with 25+ members.

That's just one idea, I'm sure there are lots of ways to get similar results, good luck.
Indeed, what I have found in missing from these discussions has been a critique of the power these platforms have.

In my opinion, what we should be talking about isn’t the moderation decisions Twitter et al are making, but why they have so much power over information in the first place.

Government policy over the last forty years has promoted far too much concentration in traditional media, and it, along with social media, needs to be checked.

Another aside is that the 2013 NDAA legalized domestic propaganda. This needs to be discussed more and reversed.
It definitely does. In what few empirical studies on what makes programmers effective, sleep, is the primary contributing factor to low error rates [0][1]. Stress and overwork are probably close seconds. And some of these studies are cross-sectional across knowledge workers; iow, not just programmers.

If you want to make it to your 40s and still be an effective IC you need to learn how to regulate yourself and follow a disciplined approach to work. Cognitive performance from chronic sleep deprivation takes years to show up.

How I Migrated 1000+ Users from Firebase to Supabase
I had that yesterday in Safari - clearing all the caches and closing every Twitter tab (I somehow had 5 open) meant that it worked when I opened a new one. Maybe something Service Worker-y? Have had that issue with the Twitter before.
It's trivial that nice communities exist on Facebook. Positive, engaged people build good communities, regardless of platform or technology.

The same distributions of haves and have-nots exist on any platform. Reddit/Facebook/Instagram/TikTok/everything else are composed of an ever changing and uncountable number of communities, a few of which are bound to be good because of the continuous efforts of their members, and everything else is varying degrees of toxicity, narcissism, hatred, and every other negative trait you can think of.

If someone stereotypes you as a "toxic racist Karen" because you mainly use Facebook, it seems to follow the same reasoning behind why you might perceive Reddit as "horribly toxic and depressing." You get out of X what you put in.
Part of it is that software is not a single community of practice.

Unlike other fields of engineering (or medicine, or hairdressing, ...) there is no meaningful certification or regulation of the field.

Circa 2005 you had people who would do it the Microsoft way or the highway who thought open source software was a joke. There are still people today who think you're an idiot because you have anything to do with Microsoft.

Frequently one hears bombastic comments about programming languages. For instance, "Java drools, Haskell rules".

Many people think that there is some practice that applied dogmatically gets great results. There are many ways that people resolve that contradiction, one of the most interesting is widespread "normalization of deviance".

It's not unusual at all to join a new team and get told that "we write tests for everything", "we always do code reviews", and have the engineering manager describe a number of practices that are used consistently. When you look at the code you see that test coverage is maybe 5%, the practices that are allegedly being used are not being used, and come to the conclusion that we must not be doing code reviews otherwise we'd be doing what we say we do.

As an employer, I am reticent to name a salary range because the fact is that the return on investment of employees is not normally distributed; it follows a power law where the top people return many times the amount of an average person. This may be because of connections, experience, intelligence, or a mixture. When I recruit I always want to hire a top person for whom I'm happy to pay 50% more than an average person, but realistically that's not always possible for me. If I state a salary range then I have to extend it to the amount I'd be willing to play for a top person which would mean if I'd have to settle for an average person then I'd probably set their expectations too high.

My advice is that if you're worried about going through multiple rounds of interviews to get a low offer then the solution is just to be very clear of your expectations up front before you interview. The worst case is that I say I can't afford you. Candidates should know their value too and shouldn't be afraid of letting employers know what they're worth.
> the US is fairly unique in history for pioneering peaceful transfer of power without violence.

The US inherited much of its political culture from that of England (not to say that the US didn't innovate heavily and positively on top of that heritage).

Would you say that England / the UK has had less of a history of peaceful transferring of power since American independence, or since the US Civil War?

You can say that the UK has faced violent opposition to its rule in Northern Ireland, but it would seem more reasonable to equate that to attacks like 9/11 in the US.
If so, that's hilarious, because that's precisely one of the jobs all these expensive, painful-to-use computer systems were supposed to replace. You'd take a year or two course at junior college, to learn shorthand and drill some medical terminology so you'd be less likely to make a bunch of simple transcription mistakes, then go to work.

> I don't think so, or we disagree on the meaning of words.

Well, when there's four people in the conversation, that happens.

u/josephg's complaint at the top of this thread is that people use TCP but still have to add framing in their application protocols. u/josephg said something to the effect of how few protocols do no framing and mentioned HTTP/1, but even HTTP/1.1 w/ chunked transfer encoding adds framing, and even HTTP/1.0 w/ definite content-length also has framing (CRLFs) for the request headers themselves, and effectively frames bodies with CRLF at the start and EOF at the end.

Chunks are definitely not datagrams, just as TLS records aren't either, and just as TCP segments aren't either. But they have framing, which u/josephg complained about.

Framing of some sort is unavoidable. My point, besides the inevitability of application-layer framing, is that a datagram- or message-oriented transport won't make things trivial for apps anymore than TCP did.
1) Most MSM harped on that it happened but not its contents. Same with other leaks such as emails, paid speeches, cables, etc. The story gets out. The substance of the leaks, however, are not widely discussed. Only that it happened.

2) I clearly stated that it was suppressed by MSM, Twitter, Facebook for a short period before the election. Twitter and Facebook admitted it outright. Zuckerberg himself said they got a call from the State to "watch out" for it. It's no longer a debatable as to whether the suppression before the election happened.

And no, the downvotes come in droves when speaking less than positively about the American Democratic Party.
The problem is that platforms aren't liable for the damage they cause. If the NYTimes makes up some nonsense that gets people hurt then they are liable. If some jabroni on Facebook does then there's no liability attached to Facebook. Which was probably fine for the BBS/message board days. Probably not so much when Facebook takes an active role in amplifying some messages over others.

The government already restricts speech. Libel is an obvious example. We therefore need to debate what the concept of free speech actually means and what the practical implications of the 1st Amendment are because they clearly don't mean that speech is completely unrestricted.

OP is suggesting that anyone who comes to that debate with definitions that are more restrictive than OPs should end up in prison. How is that not inherently a restriction on the speech that one can make about free speech?
Latour's work is broad and covers various disciplines: anthropology, sociology, philosophy... His books tend to be either broad and hard to read (An Inquiry on Modes of Existence) or easy but narrow (Pandora's Hope). Albena Yaneva's book is easy to read and broad. It covers Latour's work at large in simple terms, and not just for architects, in a way that Latour himself never took the time to write.

> if you are also repulsed by the thought of (a small amount of money going towards) young, non-white, possibly non-male people

I'm disgusted by discrimination in any form. Why not have money go to the poor, no matter what their race or gender? I don't understand why people are apologizing for and defending obviously racist and communist organizations that Wikimedia is donating to.

And let's be frank, how many of these organizations have leadership that's buying multi-million dollar homes with those "donations" under the guise of creating "creative spaces" .. another very famous garbage-charity was just outed by an incredible documentary (made by a black woman, not that it should matter) for pumping millions into personal real estate purchases that were disguised as business buildings. Where is the IRS to go after these people?

This is incorrect. It's in their interest to get as high a salary with the least effort involved.

Obviously for them, being able to close more candidates at a "high enough" salary is preferable.
> This is a strange metric to use though, because you're unlikely to walk (say) 20 miles to work, while you might drive that distance. Unilaterally choosing to walk or bike to work rather than drive in such a situation also typically means moving closer to work.

If the decision you're trying to make right now is how to get to work, then holding the mileage constant is the right way to look at it. If you're trying to decide where to live then, yes, the analysis gets a lot more complex.
