I am completely sympathetic because of how expensive housing is.

Everyone here claiming it’s fraud: Why are you convinced that your employer and you have a congenial relationship?

All employment contracts are one sided. They have more power. They stick some unfair contract on you and underpay you.

Why did you get into the mindset that you getting paid enough to buy a house is now fraud?

Do you deserve to own a house? Because in most of the areas anywhere near me, it would take many years to afford one. If you have children, you also have to pay for college.

Unless you get lucky gambling or trading shitcoins: You will never survive on the salaries being offered for your labor.

And the terms are exploitative and one sided.

If you examine closely how most CEOs operate, and politicians, you find that they are exploiting every single loophole imaginable.

Take Elon Musk for example. He has 12 children and just nuked everyone at twitter probably over the age of 33. All laid off. And he cut holiday pay for contractors.

Do you think Elon musk gives a shit if you can afford a house and childcare as a tech worker? He does not.

I think the people in this thread gasping out of shock need to understand just how much you are being screwed right now by most employment arrangementst.

A couple decades ago maybe I could imagine it.

Now? Oh hell no. It’s totally unfair.

5V 4A is not really part of the USB PD specification. I mean, sure, you can do it with PPS but you bet it's not that but something nonstandard where it just pulls 4A instead of the standard 3A yolo style.
I think this would be a stretch on their part: unlike a storage company, these products get put into an SKU bin in the Amazon warehouse. They get mixed with other Amazon stock, show up in inventory DBs, and are ultimately shipped in Amazon-branded packages with Amazon-originated shipping labels. Users track their packages containing these products on Amazon's website.
Like most situations, I think it's more helpful to take a systematic view here. Simplified, more workers are hired than needed and they are expected to pretend to work 40 hours and managers are incentivised to keep that going for their own careers. Not too sure what happens up the chain from here, but others can probably fill in some details.

Overall, this is expected behaviour from a sub-optimal system. We shouldn't blame the workers for that.
It is, indeed

At the same time it is much more than that. It's the culmination of over 40 years of development in button mashing technique. It's a way of pressing buttons fast that is applicable to any game or action which demand quick button presses.

But the most amazing this is that while it is overwhelmingly powerful in a way that completely removes any doubt about which fundamental technique to use: "das", "hypertapping", now "rolling"; there is now a cambian explosion of ways to hold the controler.

Each rolling player has their own way of using their body to implement their thoughts. I can't wait to know what the future holds, what will be the next answer to: what's the optimal way to input?

I know a bunch of anti-vaxxers in New Zealand, and they notably each had a different stated reason for being antivax.

If your point is how horrible Islam is, and the British were protectionist, let's not forget that millions of Persians were starved to death by the British embargo when Persia refused to fight in Europe's war against the Osman empire. Persia's history is a bit more complex than "then Islam came and everything went downhill".

Most of Persia's territory was lost during its wars with the Russian empire by deeply incompetent, corrupt and massively uneducated Qajar kings which were basically a British client regime.

Why are there so many people missing the bigger picture -- "the system is rigged, you'll never make enough to escape the wage slavery on the shitty salaries, bitch, moan, complaint!"

There's those types ^^^

Then there's the folks who shut up - do the work - and build shit. They're the ones who're taking the chance on hiring you dorks, knowing that you lack the initiative to build for the sake of the product, and are in a position where you value a paycheck versus the effort to build and the journey. This world is built on opportunity that was seized by opportunists - NOT built on complaining and swindling and the easy-road.

So, take your $150k+benefits, shove it in your piggy bank, and get back to work. Then when you have enough to fuck off - go build your own shit, and see how your perspective changes when you need to hire. Think if you want to hire someone who's doing 10% or 5% or whatever.

As I said, well written documentation is impossible unless the codebase is very clean, and trivial to write if the codebase is clean. For anything else the documentation will either be very sloppy with details, span hundreds of pages making it unwieldy compared to browning code where you have tooling to see references etc.

I have written and reviewed many design documents and held presentations, I understand the value of communication, but that value just isn't there for most codebases since their abstractions are way too leaky for documentation to provide any value. A design document explaining why the service or library was built and the design decisions originally taken is often useful since it provides context, but things lower level than that just isn't useful in most codebases people work in.

> For anything else, you are committing hyperbolic falsehood if you (or others) claim that it is "easier and faster to just read the source code" and "even for libraries", compared to reading examples/well-written documentation.

You need to practice reading code and have empathy for the original programmers so you understand their thinking. The original design documents helps a lot with that, then the general naming schemes and such start to make sense and its smooth sailing just reading the code after that. If the codebase was written without any deliberate design or architecture then you have bigger problems than missing documentation...
> When these people return to the store, they can probably tell with some level of confidence they previously robbed a target.

They still need a cop to show up and actually trespass the individual. Cops refuse to show up, take hours if they do and perhaps even then still not be convinced to spend their time doing to report. The cops know the person will be back, the company knows the person will be back, and even the person knows they'll be back. Unfortunately there's nothing the owner of the store can do except attempt to reduce all liability of said person being on property.
I don’t want to restrict them. I want real time total transparency for then, their trusts, their LLCs, their children, spouses, siblings. I want to know what they buy and when, I want to know contracts they sign and deals they make.

Oscilloscopes can also be used to measure voltages, often in excess of 100V, so in the spirit of those extremely unlikely "explanations" that show up in the explainxkcd tables, I offer this.

Mainly this line:

> they were consistent in that the Ottoman Empire as a state was not seen as the seamless continuation of the Roman Empire, but rather its heir and successor, as the former empire had far too deep theological roots to be compatible with a foreign Muslim ruler. Thus, the former Byzantines saw the Ottoman Empire as inheriting the political legitimacy and right to universal rule of the preceding empire, but not its other theological implications.

The theological implication tie heavily into the civilizational ideals that a society is based upon even to the modern day. Try and understand modern China without Confucianism for example.

The import of Islam into the Ottoman empire was a clear break between any theological/ideological basis that could tie it to Rome and therefore it is not a continuation of Rome. Whereas all the other nations mentioned retained Christianity which for thousands of years was transmitted through the church into these nations and is the oldest institution that remains of Rome.

If a nation is not majority Christian (or post-christian) in my view it is unable to claim to be a continuation of Rome in the most meaningful sense (as a transmitter of the major ideas and conventions that held sway in that society).

Sterling Hayden, who plays General Ripper, kind of steals the show for me in Dr. Strangelove.

There are other top notch performances but I’ve always loved his scenes with Sellers as the RAF officer trying to reason with his madness.

The film is my favorite and George C. Scott deserves a ton of credit too. Slim Pickens is incredible as well. If there’s one character that is a bit over-the-top for me it’s Dr. Strangelove himself. It’s a close call but I wonder if the film could still work without some of the mein furher, involuntarily nazi salute stuff.

This is why I would have 100% certainly accepted that "I'm not hardcore enough" deal and left with the severance if I were a twitter employee even if I believed in Musk and his vision (which I don't, but let's pretend I did).

Regardless of how you feel about whether he's ruining twitter or fixing it, there's a clear pattern of impulsiveness to his actions and I wouldn't have risked being in the situation of these people on the 3rd or 4th or whatever wave it is now even if I were drinking the kool-aid as far as his ambitions go.

Of course, if its true that most of the people who didn't take the deal are trapped because of visa status, then I fully understand why they didn't take the deal.

I would argue that it's not just a drum roll. It's more clever. It's as if someone tried to do a drum roll by hitting the bottom of the drum instead of the top.

>”there's explicitly no restriction against working multiple jobs unless its specified by an employment contract”

I feel like there is no such restriction for working multiple jobs concurrently because such a thing wasn’t feasible or widespread before remote work. I have a feeling that working multiple jobs at the same time won’t be considered fraud in the legal sense, but employment contracts will quickly adapt to include clauses to preclude overlapping employment.

I upgraded from the x86-amd64 Mac Mini to Rpi 4Gb then 8Gb. Changing from the default window manager to KDE really made the pixels easy on the eyes.

Compiling from source code products like GNU Emacs, SBCL, Racket Lang IDE, TeX, Graphviz sorts of things is a breeze. I don't feel like I am being pushed around like China's Foxconn hires subcontracted to Apple that's looking to buy the Man. U's soccer/football hooligan fanbase.

The FLASH storage medium is unreliable on the Rpi, I know, but I haven't got around to finding something faster and durable and easily replaceable. Samsung has durable external USB devices from what the advertising says.

There are times on the Rpi when the cpu load shoots up, I guess that is due to Garbage In Garbage Out website JS stealing cpu cycles to mine tokens.

I paid $5 for the $50 discount on the 16Gb RockX5B Radxa but by the time they got around to updates on supply I had lost the coupon discount code. Threw it out in the old email box.

You can't present it as computer science concepts because it's not computer science.

For example, the central dogma of DNA transcribed to RNA translated to protein seems simple, but it's not.

In almost every instance, there are vague 'rules' and many many exceptions to these rules. For example, often coding regions in genes start with an ATG, but sometimes they don't. Sometimes splice sites (where the non-coding parts of transcripts called introns are chopped out) can be predicted, but a portion of the transcripts are not spliced at predicted sites for no obvious reason. Sometimes the predictions are just wrong. Sometimes the generated proteins are modified at specific locations which impacts their function, but again, sometimes not. Even whether the gene itself is 'switched on' (i.e. able to be transcribed) is impacted by many many things, such as unidentified transcription factors, or whether the chromosomal location itself is accessible or not. There are many many other things that impact the process.

There is no simple underlying concept as the system is not designed, it evolved and is quite different among different organisms, and even in different tissues or timepoints in the same organism. As long as it works and provides enough benefit to avoid negative selection, that's enough.

It's a mess, which makes it interesting.

The account of the exodus begins by describing how a group of devout Zoroastrians in Persia went into hiding in the mountains during a time of fierce Islamic persecution. After a hundred years they moved on to Hormuz, but still remained under threat of oppression. “At last a wise dastur, who was also an astrologer, read the stars and said: 'The time Fate had allotted us in this place is now coming to an end, we must go at once to India.’” ...

We’re discussing a new phenomenon that has only recently showed up in the US.
If Musk somehow failed to predict that his decisions were going to drive off advertisers, it's absolutely fair to blame him. Small children may get a pass for assuming the world is the way they want it to be instead of the way that it is; multinational CEOs are held to a higher standard.
I'm curious if you have examples in mind?
Political issues being global is not a new phenomenon. Hyper-partisans and fringe groups have always sought out a broader set of sources when they don't find it in their immediate local range.

Which is why local censorship is becoming dumber than ever with a global internet, something I saw often here in Canada.

Although I guess some people hope their views become a part of some global cohesive overton window. Maybe with some super-efficient global media/internet moderation system it will finally stop people like my conspiracy relatives. But so far they've only made it worse.
