It can be hard to tell. On one hand, as a longtime observer of spaces like r/wsb and various crypto/opensea spinoff communities, people will very seriously gamble and lose vast quantities of money (and, to be fair, sometimes win vast quantities) in risky bets that they don't understand, and then post about it on the internet as if they didn't understand what the term "betting your life's savings" meant. On the other hand, I find enough schaudenfreude in reading such posts that I can see exactly why and how someone would fabricate such a story merely for their own amusement. It's a good heuristic to take anything with a grain of salt, including this half-baked explanation from SBF on exactly what went down with FTX.
> You own shares of the company and you want them to be worth a lot? You like your job and work long hours already anyway? You’re excited for the new vision and want to help make it happen?

But none of the Twitter employees own shares now, right?

> It’s funny how many people here equate voluntarily sitting at a desk in a climate controlled room doing what you love and being paid for it with being oppressed.

If a person is working extra hours as a company owner and expects to be paid back by the company becoming more valuable, that makes some sense. But if the owner says "you will work double hours with no extra compensation, or will be let go", then a) that's not voluntary; b) you got a 50% pay cut, which also was not voluntary and would make me love my work about 50% less.

Two founders working their asses off is one thing. Forcing thousands of non-owner employees to work their ass off with no additional compensation is just wrong. If he said "Hey, anyone in a position to work their ass off will be paid time and a half for any hours over 40 a week", that would be reasonable.
What a remarkable question.

That is a decent approach to any "Gate Keeper" entity. The Gate Keeper might be anything from a budget holder to a government.

"The Prince" by an Italian lad off of the 16thC is still a pertinent read 400 years later and he's riffing off old Romans, Greeks and before and that's just in Europe. I'm sure China and India, int al, have similar writings. Coercion and other trickery is hardly the invention of Renaissance Italy but a fair few expert practitioners were extent.

Surprisingly enough, some people don't abide by some stated rules and need careful handling. Bonus points are awarded when you make your eventual goal the idea of your "adversary".

This is all a massive game of "us - decent types" vs "you - unpleasant types" and hence a form of tribalism.

As soon as you find yourself using a term like "As a ..." or even "We ..." why not look a little deeper and see if you can't find some common ground or defuse the situation somehow. Perhaps a chat over the blower instead of the usual email trail as a precursor to hostilities might help.

I don't know exactly what is allowed (lol) in refereeing a journal submission but surely the current situation is a bit rubbish. I've been a non scientist reader of New Scientist for 40 odd years and this sort of issue comes up quite regularly. Journos, scientists, engineers and the rest are all unhappy with the way "publication" happens at some level. This is way more fundamental than open vs closed too.

Change is indicated but it will require quite some effort.

This is unfortunately common even outside of Infosys. I've experienced it at several of my former employers, although admittedly more in China than in other countries I worked.

It's interesting when you sit beside a developer who does this kind of stuff in a pair-programming context, because it immediately becomes clear that they really don't have a clue how to read and understand code in the abstract. Their process is literally copying and pasting stuff that seems similar and then running it until some arbitrary happy path test passes, not considering that it might only be passing by accident, or that they might not even be testing a real business scenario, or that there are now a bunch of unused and misleadingly-named variables floating around. And when you point that out, there isn't even a lightbulb going on that perhaps they should try to clean things up or adapt the pattern to better fit the specific use case.

I've always attributed it to a mindset that doesn't really take quality into account. And it's hard for me to argue the point when I have also been "guilty" of doing a quick hack solution or employing YAGNI to build something that might not be DRY or especially elegant but does work to solve the problem. People who just throw everything at the wall until something randomly sticks believe they're doing the same thing. Who cares if the code is unmaintainable or not performant? Who cares if there's a bug? They still get paid anyway, and the corporate machine just keeps rolling on. So - from their point of view - why make the extra effort? For me I think it's just a neatness or tidiness compulsion that makes me want to try to make code clear, robust, backward compatible and maintainable. But realistically even if I didn't do that, I'd probably still be 20 years into my career and working as a senior dev, so what's the difference?

It makes me sad.

I've seen this point before, but something I've never seen acknowledged is the (incorrect) presumption that it's _possible_ to have an exhaustive list of all the verbs you might want to use with a given noun.

The point of data-oriented (functional) programming is that we believe it's fundamentally unknowable what sorts of verbs a noun should support, and that it's a mistake to try to enumerate them (OOP).

I don't deny that it's very convenient to type . and get IDE autocomplete. And we should absolutely have better solutions than we do for writing functional code in IDEs. But it's a misunderstanding of your problem domain to suppose that a noun's verbs are inherently enumerable.
My whole career I've worked with companies that used FP approaches and consistently beat their competition by doing so. If you look at how programming languages have evolved over the last ten or twenty years, the direction is clearly towards FP, because while the benefits take a while to trickle down, everyone recognises them. Less and less people are using C/C++ (and yet it's still responsible for most security bugs); people are indeed still using "Java", but the Java of today is closer to the Haskell of 1996 than it is to the Java of 1996.

A bunch too. So I don't think comments are solely at fault. Self documenting code is only as good as the person who wrote it, and the people who approved it. Sometimes a comment is warranted, sometimes it's not.

I'm on an InMotion V5F, which is the slightly more recommended entry-level EUC. I understand that Begode is a better brand once you get into the midtier, and KingSong is the best high-tier brand. My only complaint is that I wish it went a little faster (I guess that's always the case no matter the top speed). It's much easier to transport when it's flat (i.e on foot) as it has a "leash" and just rolls along next to you. It has ~18miles of range. It took me about 8-10 hours (basically 50% of the battery) to successfully balance, with pretty extensive prior experience with a OneWheel.

They are objectively safer so far as the forwards/backwards balance goes. The theory is that it's all around safer because of the psychological effect of the steep learning curve. You do still want a motorbike helmet and BMX/skating pads (the community is way more pro-safety, which is nice). You'll need to try soft-sole and hard-sole shoes, one of the two will be unusable for you due to foot/sole fatigue. Once you get to mid-tier, you generally see incrementally more biker gear.

You don't look as cool on it. It doesn't have the same emotional impact. It is way more fun.

You could also look at electric skateboards or scooters.
At this point, I'm not sure who is honestly considering investing in a crypto exchange. I'm not sure there's a "feature" they could implement to make me consider placing my money there. I'm not sure why crypto people don't see the writing on the wall that the events of the last 6 months all but guarantee an exodus from the space - or at least from the weird exchange model, which seems to completely do away with everything good about crypto and replace it with facsimiles of traditional finance concepts.
I could see Ukraine donations that hadn't been withdrawn getting caught up in all of this, but I'm highly doubtful there was some weird shell game going on. Not because it wasn't possible, but because it wasn't necessary. SBF was openly throwing cash around to buy political and media influence. There wasn't any need to skim government cash when he could use ~$8b of customer's deposits as his slush fund.
>Ugly code that works pays bills. Beautiful code that doesn't work is, in a very literal sense, worthless

what about good code that work? All places where I see your argument prevail, ended up to be not just 'ugly code', but unmaintainable code. And systems that cannot evolve at all.

Personally I don't call coding an art, but I've seen countless times how people people choose bad solution even though better one costs exactly the same, and in a long run - actually cheaper. And they _always_ use this argument - 'code is just a tool, if it solves the problem, it is good'. And then they either leave or have to spend weekends to write even more dirty code just to solve problem they wouldn't have in the first place if they spent a little bit more time thinking about the code.
"Yes, and ..." is a wonderful notion from the world of improv:

<https://www.liveabout.com/yes-and-improv-game-2713213>

It contrasts with "no, but", most often, though also "well, actually", as you note.

Most "how do I do X on the Raspberry Pi" questions are just "how do I do X on Linux" questions. Maybe there is some device specific stuff in the device tree, but if you're messing with that you're already in an advanced use case.

A lot of Raspberry Pi projects could just as easily be using BeagleBone Blacks. There's a pretty robust community around those products too.

I don't know that the Raspberry Pi Linux boards are particularly notably well documented compared to competitors. Maybe I'm just unaware, because it generally runs Linux well and causes few problems.

I will say that I think their support for the Pico microcontroller is pretty exceptionally high quality.
> wiki article on anime girls

> Anime girls
> Anime girls (アニメ娘, anime musume) are Japanese anime characters who are designed to be young women.

> During the 1970s and 1980s, there was a large growth in the anime industry in Japan. As a result, a new style of anime was created. The new style was based on the idea that anime was a way to entertain the public, not just children. The new style also featured a change in the look of the characters. The new look of the characters was created to attract a wider audience. Anime girls were the characters created to appeal to the young women in Japan.

> Anime girls were designed to look very cute and beautiful. They were also designed to have a large bust. The busts were made to be much larger than the hips, which made the anime girls look like a girl who was going through

> Most regional airline flights are 50-100 seats.

Today because of fuel cost economics.

The earlier point remains that if that economics flips and rather than doing 3 hour-ish flights of 50-100 people between modest "hubs" you had more opportunities to do shorter point-to-point (1 hour/30 minutes/less) you light up a lot of possible flight legs that current passenger flight has ignored for decades.

(In some cases you light them back up because earlier periods of passenger flight did have less hub-and-spoke/deep centralization and a lot more airports and airfields overall than are in operation today.)

I'm not sure it is going to happen, but I wouldn't underestimate the potential there either just because it doesn't look like the status quo. That's kind of the definition of "disruption".
That's a power balance issue far more than a fairness argument.

If my boss is happy to pay this amount for my level of work output, why should it matter whether I'm spending 40 hours or 4 doing it? In fact, to suggest otherwise is downright Marxist, asserting that the value of my labor is the time I spent doing it, rather than the value someone else is willing to pay.

Do you subscribe to the labor theory of value for goods, or just people?

While I am certain there is nothing (too) special about consciousness, it still is a mixture of a large number of inputs (nerves, senses) and complex processing machinery dealing with constant chemical processes, some of which are slow to respond to chemical changes (like some hormones like TSH which take a few weeks to "stabilize" provided stable FT3/FT4 hormones). Finally, add all of those throughout an entire life up to that point.

Basically, we'll make some statistical conclusions, but we won't be able to get fully repeatable nor even measurable conditions to fully understand it ever. Perhaps if we go full Nazi again and experiment on live, unwilling participants.

Lest people forget, even with the rest of medicine and much simpler organs we have directly poked and prodded, we are still far away from fully understanding them, and the best of our knowledge borders on "in 90% of cases".

Writing code is a creative exercise not because there are infinite solutions to a given problem but because your solution must be one that clearly communicates it’s own intent both to the machine and to the next humans who read it and give certainty to those humans that they can make changes without tripping over load bearing coconuts.

Banks really dislike when you don’t have a “permanent address” and this quickly becomes a sore point for expats, who also will have issues getting bank accounts abroad. If you try a PO Box, you’re just asking to have your account shut. If you use a virtual mailbox, they’ll catch you too when the mailbox address enters the databases of not-house addresses, probably run by chexsystems or the like.

But banks do not care at all if you use your friends or relatives addresses!

Agreed, I can't say I was exactly surprised at the lack of contrition, but then again, he made it clear at the end that his entire life revolves around the now-impossible goal of raising $8b in the next 2 weeks. Introspection, I guess, will come after that. I'm guessing that he's still experiencing some denial about the loss of his own status, freedom, and opportunities in life that will come with all of this. As much as everyone hates this guy right now, it's definitely pitiable and interesting to get a snapshot of a huckster mid-downfall, where he hasn't yet realized how much the foundation underneath him has fallen away.

No, this part isn't a ponzi. He has a lot of crypto and he wants someone to buy it all for $8 billion, so he can return that $8 billion to his customers. He says it's worth $9 billion down from $14 billion two weeks ago, so it's a great deal. Now, I would say it's worth far less, maybe hundreds of millions.

This part is "if I firesale all the crypto, can I get enough fiat to pay back my customers so that there's no case for me going to jail because no one lost money, just got stressed out."
