Most high GDP countries don't have a business culture of optimizing for maximum cash in the owners hand at all possible costs, and indeed, even are interested in giving their employees a fair shake. Most places understand that employees are valuable and deserve dignity and respect, and have taken steps to ensure they get it.
And this in a nutshell is why Mastodon will always be niche and will never be a twitter replacement. Indexing every post is good and would be a solution to one of the biggest problems with Mastodon: discovering people to follow.

As it currently stands Mastodon is a very toxic community of people in the sense that they don't care at all about what the average person actually wants or needs in a network like this. Any and all complaints or comments pointing out the problems with usability are met with exactly the sort of hostility you describe here.

Hell, even as a very technical person I can't find anyone to follow on Mastodon other than developers. There was some large index of the most popular mastodon servers so I tried that and the top entry in the health category was an antivaxer spreading misinformation.

Honestly what we need is a twitter replacement, centralized, with search and recommendations. Perhaps run by a non-profit council or something.
Ah got it, thanks for the correction and info.
Does pressing the power button five times still disable biometrics?

Edit from sibling comment link with alternate easier method to hard lock: “Just press and hold the buttons on both sides. Remember that. Try it now. Don’t just memorize it, internalize it, so that you’ll be able to do it without much thought while under duress, like if you’re confronted by a police officer. Remember to do this every time you’re separated from your phone, like when going through the magnetometer at any security checkpoint, especially airports. As soon as you see a metal detector ahead of you, you should think, “Hard-lock my iPhone”.”
I personally like the sites/blogs with a crappy monospace font, as long as they have something interesting to share with the world, preferably by RSS feed.

But I do agree that websites with an artistic touch in the interface are more than welcome. For my own website project it was a constant battle choosing between some artistic freedom and expression on one hand, and making it useful and easy on the other.

In the past, I made what I call the Quick Design module (https://try.hellowebsite.online/quickdesign/) where users could easily click together a goodlooking website design. They layout is always the same, but a preselected or random combination of colors and other settings gives some very nice results. I definitely would love to explore this even more in the future.
The bean water has huge margins but is only a tiny part of the expenses.
I mean, the rise of low-cost carriers has shown pretty clearly that passengers are willing to put up with a lot for cheaper tickets…
I don't think that's as rare as people say, especially in smaller organizations.

Having an art school design education and a bit over a decade in (mostly back-end) web development, I've had plenty of deseloper type roles. If they fall under a design or marketing department, they'll spend 80% of the time doing design work and try to throw it together on some shitty wysiwyg monstrosity, ignoring performance, stability, maintainability, etc. If they fall under technical departments, design, ahem, decoration and polish is something to be applied at the end, if there's time, after the real work is done. Either way, having the same group of people responsible for two halves of that coin rarely yields a good balance, and they almost never pay any real attention to usability ... at least not for use cases that don't exactly mirror their own. Seems to me that replacing the flexibility of current markup and styling tools with simple markdown and reader-type layouts is just trying to apply the tech-focused solution to the entire problem the way Flash tried to do the opposite.
I was partner at a couple of hedge funds. Every fund has its own docs, but normally it is going to restrict you to sending money to specific things, you can't just do anything you want. Certainly you cannot just lend it to yourself if you want serious investors, they do a whole due diligence questionnaire about what sign-off is needed, who can sign, audits, and so on.

I remember a friend with a fund, he was in a short-term pickle waiting for some money to bridge a house purchase. Didn't even cross his mind to lend it to himself and pay it back two weeks later, even though that would have been nearly risk free and a minuscule proportion of the fund.
Some of us have eyes that don't permit that. From the point I started needed glasses I have only once gone a year on the pair I use for the computer--nothing wrong with the glass, it's just my eyes drift enough that they start giving me headaches. I usually get 2-3 years out of my progressives before they're too far off and need replacement. With an adaptable lens my brain simply automatically compensates as my eyes change, I only need replacement when the infinity goes wrong or as my astigmatism changes too much.
Adding to this, I highly recommend works from nulut[0] and niki[1].

Yes, this answer is wrong. LLVM IR is not generic; not only can you not recompile to new architectures, it's not always true that it doesn't care what the original language was. (Since it needs to know the aliasing/memory model rules of the original language, sometimes you need new versions of bitcode to handle new languages.)

It's generic for a little while as long as things don't change too much, but eventually they do.

the at&t unix video marketed this idea by way of composing a spell checker in a shell script. even at the time, many users did not follow this pattern because the ergonomics for spell checking in this manner were already sub-par.

what you get if you follow this pattern is git, not left-pad. git high level commands were derivative higher order combinations of underlying programs that are quite conformant to this aspect of the unix philosophy. their newer replacements in many cases no longer compose from single purpose programs, instead importing aspects of their function as code, and specializing new behavior in order to better meet user interface demands. This is a direct repetition of the spell checker UX story.
So are Markdown rendering libraries entirely pointless? I'm not sure where you'd get the impression that HTML is a subset of HTML rather than Markdown being a superset of HTML. (even that is very reductive, though)

It’s been a bit since I did a deep dive on this (thanks AirMiners), but my understanding is that we have to get to net zero and sequester large amounts of carbon currently in the atmosphere to avoid some of the worse climate scenarios. It’s not either/or. We’re past the point where cutting to 0 in a decade or two yields acceptable outcomes. But to your point, sequestration is much more expensive than reduction, so cutting down new emissions is going to have to be the vast majority of the reduction.

And yeah, forestry credits are really fraught with problems, but they’re much, much cheaper than real sequestration, which is why stuff like this always offers them. There is some time-value of sequestration in the short term, though.
Interesting question. Thanks 100011_100001.

I always had a positive mental attitude. Not really sure why. Difficult childhood? Last kid picked in kickball? Couldn't get a date? Knew nobody was ever going to give me a thing so I would have to do it myself? Who knows? Way too much to think about for an answer now, but that's OK because...

My problem wasn't that I didn't have a positive mental attitude.

My problem was that I didn't know I had a positive mental attitude.

I was a typical nerd who found solace in math and programming but somehow worked my way up into a dev / project management / digital rainmaker position. My customer wanted me to do something he knew I could do that no one else had been able to do (something boring sounding like "implementing a factory shop floor control system").

He became so exasperated at my pushback (I can't. It can't be done. It's too hard. etc) that eventually yelled at me something like, "You know the business! You know the tech! You're good with people! You have PMA! So what's the f*in problem?) I asked, "What is PMA?" He said "Positive Mental Attitude!"

That conversation changed my career (and my life). And he became my major mentor. (That's why I thought of him in that "Advice that changed your life" thread last week.

This may sound bizarre and counter-intuitive but I think the short answer to your question may be, "You have PMA when you decide you have PMA."

Over the years, I've witnessed countless counter-examples to this: people don't have PMA because they don't know they have PMA so they never "breakthrough" like they could.

I'm so glad I met that mentor. Thanks for reminding me.

Hope this helps.

With the fees, options are (slightly) negative sum.

I'm a boglehead, but as I see it there are only 2 valid reasons to consider option trading:

- Hedging: e.g. if a big part of your comp is in illiquid private stock in a company whose outcome is highly correlated to IndustryX, you may want to hedge that with options. Not positive sum in absolute terms but you're paying to reduce risk.
- Tax arbitrage: e.g. On a block of stock you got from an IPO. Positive sum from your perspective.

Both are a lot of work to do right and neither one is a silver bullet.
At the moment it can recognise the type of statements in the training data set [1] and transpile them to Python, Java or C++ using the mappings defined here [2].

From my point of view the problem is not micropackages, but the constantly changing micropackages making the foundation of your software ever shifting around. The problem with leftpad was not any problem with the library itself, but the library changing (in this case getting deleted). I posit that embracing the culture of vendoring dependencies, and even fully absorbing them to your projects, leads in the longer term healthier ecosystem. Again leftpad, if everyone had vendored it then it would have been largely a non-event. Of course this way of thinking puts much higher demand on correctness and also probably some novel innovations regarding patch management when as a library maintainer you can not just rely on ability to push out new versions from your cathedralesque project.
Half of them were already fired (more will probably follow), and the rest will be messed with for months (if not years) to come (as is evident by the email being discussed here). Having nothing to lose...
I have an obsession with classifying software bugs into general categories, looking for the "root cause", or more constructively, for a way to avoid entire classes of bugs altogether. I've been doing that for more than 20 years now.

This bug, if you look into the fix, falls into my "state transition" category. You can (and should) model large parts of your software as a state machine, with explicit transitions and invariant checks. If you do not, you still end up with states, just implemented haphazardly, and sooner or later someone will forget to perform a task or set a variable when transitioning from state to state.

This category is my strong contender for #1 problem area in all devices that have a user interface.

For anyone not getting the cultural reference, it's due to a 40 year old pop song that used that phone number (as one belonging to a Jenny to be called "for a good time").

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WTdTwcmxyo

In the overwhelming majority of US television and movies, onscreen phone numbers are of the form 555-xxxx to prevent clashes with those telecoms actually hand out. However, numbers of the form 867-xxxx are perfectly valid; and when Brown University made the mistake of handing out 867-5309 to an unfortunate dorm room around 1999 or so, those people were deluged with phone calls asking for Jenny.
Captcha solvers charge less than $4 per 1000 solved captchas. It'd likely still be worth it to do that sort of spam.
Yeah I don't buy carbon removal as a practical solution. Humanity spent over 100 years pulling concentrated carbon out of the ground as fast as we could and got a bunch of useful energy out of it. Now all that carbon we pulled out of the ground and dumped into the atmosphere is a stable trace gas. The thermodynamic hurdle to reverse what we've done is huge. The thermodynamics is not there, the economics is not there.
It’s worth mentioning here that as long as long as you have a few seconds notice you can force your Face ID enabled iPhone to require a passcode the next time it’s unlocked.

Don't forget their massive investments in technology to be the first for those pennies (high-frequency shops, custom machines colocated at exchanges, etc).

There are also specialist market maker roles for specific products, which don't have to use these systems, but those are professionals in niche markets too illiquid for the big shops.

No. commercial airliners are only a solved problem if you ignore the climate crisis. There is no way you can run the current design on electricity during intercontinental travel. This is the problem that engineers are trying to solve with innovative and radical design changes.

This may be a stretch but I could see the original report coming from an intelligence service.

The report might be accompanied by a request to hold off on patching it due to active use.

This would explain the desire to wait on G's side, and why it would not explain the prior report.
Speak for yourself. What I said is absolutely how I feel about it.

Would I love to have another few hundred thousand dollars? Sure. That kind of money would be life-changing to me.

But I don't in any way feel ashamed or embarrassed that I didn't jump on the cryptocurrency fad. Quite the contrary, in fact—I would be deeply ashamed if I had joined in enabling it.
It really just comes from a lack of any enforcement of that sort of use in public. I mean its 5pm in downtown LA, hundreds of people are at 7th street metro center station trying to get home from work, and 1/3rd of the heavy rail line platform has people looking straight forward not trying to make eye contact with the people actively smoking rocks on the benches behind them. It's ridiculous. I've seen everyone from custodial workers to actual uniformed metro security just turn around and pretend like they aren't seeing what they are seeing. Not even a report or a warning for these people to leave the station or public park, just a "not my job, not my problem" attitude which is a shame that its come to that, and inevitably makes the job of custodial worker or security guard so much harder when they allow people engaging in these behaviors free reign to continue these behaviors. You look in the rail gutter of the station and there are probably hundreds of used needles.

It seems like cops in California at least are pretty ambivalent about doing any sort of petty policing, in stark contrast to the cops out east. Here in California I've never seen anyone pulled over on the highways at all. Meanwhile out east, I know people who've been pulled over for going a few mph over, or hanging out in the left lane too long, or "swerving" allegedly, and going on to see their vehicles searched with their possessions tossed to the side of the road like they are at a gestapo checkpoint. If they are walking outside late at night the cop rolls up slow and follows them for some time, then flicks their lights on to ask them where they think they are heading at this time, hoping to stick a public intoxication charge or follow up on a warrant presumably. There's definitely some happy medium between not enforcing the law at all and having a fascist power complex to ruin people's lives using the law, and I hope saner times in the future strike that balance.

How does that work? If a SWE isn't aware of the gazillion laws surrounding their code, why isn't the company liable when X of those laws are inevitably violated?

What about the people who review the code? Or the people who wrote the systems that push the code?
Yes, that's fair feedback! A better site editor is on my queue. Thanks for the suggestion.
No. Off the top of my head, my understanding is that the vast majority of full time jobs in the US are at-will employment which means there is no required notice period. It’s considered a best practice to give two weeks or more but that’s a social contract and not enforceable in any way. In the past, when employee reference checks were a real thing, that two weeks might buy you a better reference, but even that has been stripped away now with references handled by HR and only confirming dates of employment and conditions of termination (this is to avoid lawsuits I think).
This decision is de facto the Law.

Indeed, this is a decision of the "Cour de Cassation", which is the highest court and which does not judge guilt in specific cases (edited to clarify), but whether the law was correctly applied. So by judging that this is a criminal offence (actually they have only confirmed previous legal decisions so it was expected) they have ruled that French Law states that this is a criminal offence, including based on jurisprudence (previous decisions). So that rather settles it.
In principle there's nothing wrong with Java but every Java shop I've worked at has made me sad. Lots of dynamic stuff glued together by plugins, DI, crazy configs, weird XML meta languages, runtime NPEs, stuff falling over at all hours, everyone on-call, etc...

Python shops weren't much better. Enormous products of complexity, plugin frameworks to config other plugins...

Go is not without its problems but at least it reins in much of the dynamic complexity (although systems like K8S built above it seem to add it back). For a lot of things it's better than Java or Python.

I haven't yet worked at a Rust shop but I've used it on a few small things of my own and it seems to strike a good balance and Rust/Wasm looks really promising.

So if I have the choice I'll go with a Rust startup, a Go startup, a Python/Java startup in that order.
I secretly agree with you. I think the ideal situation is to accommodate both sets of needs. Personally I prefer 100% remote but if someone wants hybrid then that's fine too.

I say secretly because usually I'm a strict remote advocate because I acknowledge that executives really would like everyone to be back in the office and I'd rather kill myself than do that.

Back before the in-seat video days, I was flying back from Europe to the US. We were just approaching the coast of Greenland. I could see icebergs in the water, and glaciers coming down to the ocean. Then they asked us to close all the windows so people could see the in-flight movie. And I'm like, when am I going to see Greenland again? I can rent the movie.
The EU is so protective of consumer rights, but not of personal rights with respect to governments. Seems odd, but is a result of socialist influence. In the US we have more protection against government abuse and less corporate. But it ends up being the worst of all worlds because the government just uses the corporations to provide the data they could/would never have access to.
