In a world with robust digital ID, maybe that would be a possibility (but still leaves ample room for counterparty risk).

Last time I had to "verify my ID" online, it amounted to a photo of my driver's license and knowing my previous address.
As a rule "all the media" never has any idea what they are talking about. It is easy to verify that on the subjects that you know. It doesn't go away on the other ones.

I have never seen central banks trying to divert attention. That something that politicians do, and central banks communications tend to be done by technical people (not by their heads).

I have seen plenty of head of governments trying to divert attention from some economical fact, but the lack of understanding of fundamental things, like cause and effect, monetary identities, and the difference between monetary and real indicators are always there and don't seem to be planted by any PR team.
So for billions every few years they change the (R) to a (D) next to the persons name and for a couple of billion more a few years later they change the (D) to a (R).

What about sending a physical certified letter?
COBRA lasts 18 months.
I think this approach makes sense for hardware but not pure software.

I think its easier to adjust pure software iteratively than hardware. So with hardware, it makes sense to have different teams working on similar but different things because variations of ideas need to be fleshed (and thoughts that spawn off those ideas) and it can be hard for one team to do this iteratively.

If you're right and this is where it came from, I think largely pure software teams doing this are wasting resources, but if its hardware I don't agree its wasteful
To be honest I'm not sure you really know what you claim to know about hiring.

On the hiring side, the condition for extending an offer is not "didn't bomb the interview", but rather, being the best applicant that passes the hiring bar (the bar may or may not be reasonable).

Perhaps other candidates were indeed better in some of the cases. Perhaps the interviewers thought they saw some red flags. Or even some other stupid reason. For all I know about hiring processes essentially the planets have to align and maybe a company would make an offer to some random candidate that they believe is the most suitable.

Also, I'm not sure I agree even in principle that an interviewer could obviously see from a portfolio that a candidate could write high quality code in reasonably complex projects. Unless the code available to inspect on github, claims about past work on a CV (or during interviews) don't really mean much. It's not so much about "lying" but rather that it's hard to get an accurate picture from a couple brief descriptions. I've had similar misunderstandings from colleagues reporting their work progress during stand ups (eg. Bob says he completed tasks X and Y. Turns out they didn't work for the difficult case of interacting with Z, which he wasn't aware of and would take another two weeks to complete). The other thing is that when people talk about past work, I get no information about how much support their team or company gave them, how much credit should be given to their colleagues, and how robust the project would be upon stresses, etc.

There's also the well-known Dunning–Kruger effect.

As for github, nobody actually spends significant time reading a candidate's code in github, that's what the interview is for.
This thread is making my blood boil. I'm going to go outside and try not to get frustrated at things that didn't even happen to me.

You can still use WSL 1 with this version, so it's technically WSL 1&2 1.0.0, which feels more on par with the USB thing to me.
The reason KDE looks horrible to you is probably due to the history you use computer. KDE is just 90% similar to the logic you use windows. The system tray area, task bar, start button works just like the way you expect in windows.

It probably has the least resistance to use if you are a windows user that try the linux desktop the first time.

It's actually fairly easy to get most of a Smalltalk out of Javascript. Prototypes and first-class functions form a really powerful basis for a higher language. Though, to your point, it wouldn't really still be Javascript.

Mainly because those tend to run on Microsoft Azure, which has no decent analytics offering, and are pushing Databricks extremely hard. The CTO or whatever just pushes databricks.

I've abandoned probably a thousand dollars in airfare in my life. Just don't have the energy nor do I think it's possible to get it back.

I once cancelled a flight on United, but the $400 "credit" I had (1y expiry) with them had some special "booking code" attached to it (not informed of this on purchase, bought regularly through their website) so the only tickets I was allowed to use the credit on cost > $1000 (regular economy class..) due to this booking code and had to be searched through a special portal.. what the hell? I could use the regular front page flight search and buy same seat on same flight for less than the difference using my credit..

Does anyone have a positive experience with an airline? They're all such trash.

My only one is with Porter airlines, flying out of Toronto. It's often delayed but they're incredibly kind and sometimes give me a $15 voucher to the bar! Also a free alcoholic drink on board.
What makes Git so hard to use?
I think it's also tied up with security - in the past, you could have one release cycle with a stable release coming out every n releases, but now, because of vulnerabilities, larger projects usually need to have two release cycles: one for the bleeding edge, and an LTS that gets security updates ported in. That's a lot of work to maintain, so a lot of projects just nix the LTS.
I reduce them to the smallest amount.

Its usually less than 50MB.

Depending on the files and their sensitivity, I store them on GitHub, on my Gmail in a draft, on other computers. I just use seven zip end copy the archive.
There's a few visual languages I would say have thrived like Labview and UnrealEngine, a couple things in the real time audio/visual space I forget the name of, etc.

But beyond those niches it hasn't caught on.

One reason for this is editing is awkward. With text you can have things in a broken intermediate state while you make changes, copy and paste, etc. The tools for doing this with a visual graph end up being more awkward and slow vs a programmer practiced with their editor/ide.

And the other problem is the graphs become a huge mess past some threshold of complexity. Even with boxes it's bad. This is a very common complaint about LabView. Example: http://forums.ni.com/legacyfs/online/4106_spaghetti.gif

I'm very skeptical a visual language will catch on for programming in general.

Yeah this is a pretty interesting phenomenon. I feel like as a kid I had no idea it would be this way, but every job I've worked, blue and white collar, has involved a lot of "time wasting." It's very surprising at first.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think all the talk around weird ideas like Functors, Monads, etc., are mostly red herrings and aren't that applicable to most everyday software engineering tasks.

Just use functions, avoid state, use map/reduce if it's more readable, avoid OOP most of the time (if not all of it), avoid abstracting every single damn thing, and what you're writing seems functional enough even if it doesn't totally satisfy the academic view of what functional programming is.

It's going to be real fun when more than half of "user" generated content on the net will have been generated by AI content farms: forum comments, code, videos, pictures, entire websites.

I honestly think this is how we reach this "dead internet" meme. We're probably less than a decade away from this.

EDIT: here's my bold prediction. In the next 10 years, a very successful content aggregator (imagine Reddit, Instagram or Tiktok), where content is exclusively and openly AI generated, will reach the Alexa top 100 ranking.

We will have HN users saying we're too old and we just don't get why it is more fun to mindlessly get your dopamine fix from scrolling and liking AI generated images.

Use "from" and "to", which talks about data dependencies rather than temporal dependencies. Most people assume dependency order implies temporal order, and then you introduce them to lazy evaluation to decouple even that.

E-bike batteries have caused 200 fires in New York: ‘Everyone’s scared’
I think it's worse than that because it actually devalues the role of engineer, and the role of janitor by presenting it as something it's not.

A sanitation engineer sounds like someone that knows how to safely build sewers or run a sewage processing plant. i.e. something you'd have a formal education and be accredited for.

With respect for honest hardworking janitors everywhere, that's not the same thing as minor plumbing or ensuring that places are properly cleaned. Neither task is engineering.

Your first point is also true for procedural programming languages, but at least in Haskell you know that if something is, say, a functor then you know what sort of things you can do with that value. I think it should be possible for an IDE to suggest functions if you used the reverse application operator:

`git add -e` is even more amazing.

I also use this workflow. Lots of detached HEAD mode, using the index to commit things piecemeal, then rebase as needed, until I'm finally done.
I'm not a fan of a lot of the fees that airlines impose--but then I also don't fly budget airlines or buy the cheapest tickets. Personally I'd probably be happier with a more premium flying experience and somewhat higher ticket prices--though not enough to routinely upgrade to business class. And I'm sure there are many people for whom air travel over Christmas to visit family is something of a luxury appreciate being able to spend less money.
I was just so over it, I took the $24 and treated it as a lesson. I talked to a manager, but I couldn't be fucked doing more than that - I wasn't strapped for cash. If I was in my home turf, with a legal system I knew maybe I'd fight it more, but I was a tourist.
The really insidious thing about the censorship around gender activism is that it removes the language required to form a reasonable objection.

To take one example, when trans-identifying male Lia Thomas won a women's swimming competition earlier this year, it was a very controversial topic that was much discussed on Twitter, with the gender critical point of view being that men shouldn't be permitted to compete in women's sports, and he was essentially cheating by doing so, due to his physical advantage of being male.

However, if you referred to him as anything other than a woman, or used pronouns other than "she" or "her", this would get your tweet removed and even your account suspended, sometimes permanently. Even though it entirely undermines the argument against his participation.

Not that this is a new phenomenon or only applies to Twitter - gender critical feminists have been warning about this type of linguistic sabotage for quite some years now, e.g. https://fairplayforwomen.com/pronouns

With a general admission concert ticket, your grouping still remains intact. I haven't flown in a while (thankfully), but the original comment makes it sound like they sell you an unassigned seat ticket, but then assign you a specific sometime down the road, perhaps maliciously.
This reminds me of the speech in The West Wing, where the president explains his reasoning for accepting the censure.

No one takes responsibility for anything anymore. We foster, we obfuscate, we rationalise. "Everybody does it." That's what we say. So we come to occupy a moral safe house where everyone's to blame so no one's guilty. I'm to blame. I was wrong.

If at the end of the day you can sleep well, more power to you! But things will continue to decline if everyone's only looking out for themselves.
Thanks for sharing - those are some very valuable insights. If it's not to personal to ask what sex are your children?

I suspect transitioning out may be slightly different depending on a large variety of factors but maybe how children are raised to socialize in a traditional sense. To be fair its been many years since I've been in school but there's probably still a bit of a lean for activity based socializing for boys vs girls but hopefully that's changed.
Client-side database access without client-side secrets
Possibly (the page I linked even mentions a "test" type of signal), but given that there is no return link for most PLBs and no "list of recent successfully received test transmissions" online, I don't understand how one would actually verify success.

This policy document mentions that the "self-test" feature actually does not communicate with satellites at all, and also mentions a "test frame" that is discarded by satellites, as well as a "test protocol" that is forwarded by satellites, but discarded by the ground segment:
https://www.sarsat.noaa.gov/wp-content/uploads/POL-MCC-051-v...

So it seems like both the "self-test" and the "test frame" don't tell you a lot about how well your beacon would work in case of an actual emergency (unless you have equipment that can receive and interpret that signal), and live testing involves a lot of paperwork.

Same experience for me. I had tickets booked under Aeromexico and cancelled them (they had a waiver that provided a cash refund in 12 months after the request, yes that's already ridiculous). I had an email confirmation they would refund the tickets.

After the 12 month period, I spent 2 months calling, email-escalating, and eventually filing a DOT complaint. Aeromexico responded within 2 days of the DOT complaint being received and theoretically is in the process of actually refunding me this time (knock on wood).

$7m is nothing for them. The fines need to be bigger, quicker, and more aggressive to stop this behavior. They are screwing customers because they can get away with it. EU regulations around customer refunds are significantly better than in the US, and we should be heading in that direction to hold these companies accountable.

Side note: my sister actually had tickets on the same route but for an itinerary the week before me and got the refund with no issues, so I have no clue why I had to do the DOT song and dance.
Just wanted to say: I feel for anyone impacted by this I truly hope that they're able to land on their feet and Amazon does right by them and gives a healthy severance. Least they could do.

Another quirk of this story in terms of how this makes me feel is that this makes me sad in a strange way: Amazon was my "fallback" job if my current job ever bit the dust and I couldn't find anything else relatively quickly.

Seemed like they were always hiring, and if I needed to eat, it would allow me to keep my standard of living for a 12-18 months while I figure things out. Best case: I somehow end up liking working there and stay for 4 years, worst case: I can keep my standard of living while the recession eases and move on to something else.

I will say, I got alot of recruiters from the Alexa division and I'm glad I didn't take them up now. AWS looks unaffected by this though.
In general a lot of metadata is kept, but very rarely is the full print content kept (though in some organizations it may be for security review). The difficulty here is figuring what metadata is relevant, in this case size was the most important.
This sounds incredibly cynical to me. It seems desirable to me that a newspaper has some authorial cohesion. That the audience of readers has some identifying viewpoint and person that they can comprehend. So editorial guidance in that sense seems positive.

I guess I can imagine how such a editorial process could create a monoculture (although I don't think it has to), but that's where multiple newspapers become useful. While one newspaper may have some editorial angle, different newspapers have different editorial staff.

Journalists also seem to me to be rather principled people. If their editors were systematically suppressing certain stories and angles, I'd expect them to start a new newspaper, especially considering how easy it is to get started nowadays, and report on that.

With all these considerations I don't see what system would keep these stories back. Editorial staff can maybe control a single newspaper, but they can't control the other media. Even if they could, they wouldn't be able to control journalists that may become disillusioned by such a system.

C is still widely used. I think if you really want to just work with C you should focus on embedded stuff, surely not every job in embedded requires experience.

One industry which is quite C heavy is aerospace. You do not need to work for Boeing/Airbus though, there are many, many suppliers who are doing embedded work.
