Many reasons. In finance, PDF reports are passed between companies instead of JSON/XML, etc.. because:

1. PDF is considered tempered proof. Obviously, not true, but legal is ok with that.

2. PDF can be reviewed quickly by non-technical folks, and then parsed and store into databases.

3. PDF is flat file that can be archived easily per legal, other formats such as word documents are used for that as well.

In a sense, PDF is what people want. Structured data is what machines want.
> I'm focusing on compiled/statically-typed languages here so will be skipping over Common Lisp (a venerable language we should all seriously consider)

> It doesn't matter if you use induction, radiant, or coil electric, they all produce just as much cooking fumes as gas, and the gas burning has a negligible impact.

> I've confirmed this myself many times over with calibrated sensors.

This really means nothing considering that rigorous studies and metastudies [1] have been performed and the results published that demonstrate the opposite: that gas stoves result in CO and other harmful emissions that electric stoves don't, independent of what is being cooked. Those studies aren't a global conspiracy against gas stoves. If you have similarly published your data and it has been reviewed, please do share it with the world.

> The worst thing about indoor air quality in the US is that the US doesn't require external venting in kitchens by code, and it should

I agree wholeheartedly, but the problem doesn't end there. Most range hoods in single family homes are externally vented, but there is a behavioral problem, which is that most people use the kitchen hood vent as a way to exhaust smoke odors only, usually only in response to a smoke alarm going off. Even worse, after enough rounds of this, many people end up disabling the smoke alarms near their kitchen rather than taking it as an indication that there is an air quality problem.

If the only effect of these studies is to alert people to the necessity of turning on their hood vent and opening a window for makeup air every time they cook, especially on a gas stove, that's a win.

That's a more difficult case of course. But I believe enterprise support and custom enterprise features/addons could help in the case of languages.

> corporation controlling at least the proprietary components?

WP plugins are still GPL. But the users can buy, download them from the original source, install them on their site, and update them from their site with one click. Coupled with premium support, this works well. Its a bigger risk and hassle to 'pirate' the plugins from 3rd parties rather than just getting everything directly from the source. (though such 'piracy' does have impact).

In any case, one organization controlling at least the proprietary, custom enterprise components is much better than the alternative.

> Is it better to get any job than keep searching for the job I'd be most suited for?

Will depend a lot on the individual situation, but as a broad blanket advice I'd generally say, yes. Especially if you come from an undergrad/master's. There are very few of those really big tectonic shifts in life like fully entering the workforce for the first time, and a lot of it has more to do with having some job (at least somewhat relevant to what you learnt) than having the perfect job (which, frankly, you can't really know what that would be for you at that stage anyway). I don't see much good coming from delaying this just for the sake of waiting for the perfect match.

That being said, if you have other reasons for delaying, like wanting to try a startup, that might indeed be a good reason to not start in a job. Or if you're a PhD graduate, you've had sort of a semi-job experience already, and you might have ways to stay a bit longer in academia doing meaningful things (post-doc,...), while looking for something that really fits with the highly specialized profile you've already built at that point.

My current setup uses Krypt.co (deprecated) to forward most U2F/FIDO2 requests to an app on my phone. The app has some keys stored in my phone's secure secret storage and verifies/signs the request (after unlocking my phone with biometrics or my phone's PIN). This signed response is then used to log into the website.

I believe the goal for Bitwarden would be the same, to allow for seamless login through a secondary device using WebAuthn and friends. Apple and Google are already working on cross-device FIDO2 login support, but for Firefox I haven't seen much announced as of yet. Bitwarden filling in for Apple's/Google's proprietary services would be a way to log in securely without giving up even more security features to browser companies.
TLS doesn't prevent blocking by ISPs, it is limited in term of spying prevention (metadata are still available), it does prevent tampering by ISPs, but I think that part would be more effectively achieved with digital signatures (ex: PGP blocks) that not only prevents tampering by ISPs, but also by someone who controls the server or by forgers.

As for information you share that will become sensitive, yes sure, but if you think that, don't publish anything at all on public networks. But if you want a technical solution to still be able to post what you think is or may be sensitive in the future, then, TLS is probably not the right solution. Hacker News uses TLS for instance, and it won't help me at all if one of my comments gets me some unwanted attention, I am sure my username alone is enough to get back to me for someone with enough motivation.

I was thinking about this last night before I went to bed (because of course I was) and I realized that the limit could potentially be higher considering moves such as Mirror Move, Copycat, Metronome, and Sketch. Still, each of these moves have their own deterministic[0] ways of working which could still be handled by this protocol.

But Sketch specifically is also counter to the point that "moveset can't be changed after the battle starts". With that move in particular, it technically could be.

[0] Even though it's "random" in the case of Metronome; the random just needs to be agreed upon beforehand.

I dislike your hypocrisy.

You call my view silly, and at the same time you make distinction between corporate and warehouse workers as if these were two separate classes of people presuming firing warehouse workers was not a big deal but corporate is.

Amazon employs 1.5M people total and I don't care if somebody works in a warehouse or an office. They all have their lives to continue and families to feed.
In addition to buffering the next 10 or so videos in your feed, they also only buffer the first few seconds of each of them (likely driven by an individual metric of how quickly users tend to swipe off them, or how confident the algorithm is that you’ll be interested).

As I said I love golang. I invested a lot of my own time into learning it and its ecosystem.
The time developers spend learning a language and its libraries should not be discounted.

Maybe we overestimate how much corporate backing is required to make a language a success.
After all we had successful languages and ecosystems long before any corporations became
interested in funding such things.

You mention golang's crypto. Is it true that all that code is native to the go project or

Kind of related, I recently wondered why there is no such thing as a packaging format for static sites. It sounds trivial but hear me out.

There are many static site generators that spit out a directory with HTML files ready to be served. But getting that output in S3, netlify or your self hosted nginx is a very different process. Configuring things like cache-control, redirections, compression or error pages is done differently on all these platforms.

Wouldn't it be nice if it was possible to basically generate a tar.gz with some metadata that would automatically configure the web server and deploy the site? Kind of like a docker image but for static files?

Not super common but its reasonably frequent for someone to go to industry for 2-3 years and then go for a masters/phd.

Those candidates tend to be great as they are up on industry practices/technology like source control and databases where as some phds can have only academic coding experience. And they tend to have studied something they really knew they were interested in and really been the driver on their thesis project vs just contributing to their advisors research.

You also see great phds who didn't wait but really took ownership of their project, used source control, figured out distributed computing, contributed to open source, scraped/built their own datasets, understood the real world implications and hacked on side projects to develop coding skills.

And you see some who just completed a theoretical + computational project their advisor suggested on an existing dataset with the minimal amount of coding needed and little thought to implications/applications.

They're irreversible, except "unauthorized" transactions.

Most scammers generate authorized transactions via trickery. Banks won't accept "I was tricked" as "unauthorized"; they only count cases of actual account compromise, and even there... https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/03/business/nightcap-zelle-fraud...

> The bank data reviewed by Warren’s office suggest even the bulk of unauthorized cases are going unpaid. For example: PNC Bank indicated that its customers reported 10,683 cases of unauthorized payments totaling over $10.6 million. It refunded only 1,495 cases, totaling $1.46 million.
The earth is doomed, it's up to humans to get them off this rock that will eventually burn up in one way or another.
I've never recommended Zelle. Tales of their complete lack of customer service, consumer protection, and unwillingness to be held accountable are not new. ACH is archaic (and has its own dangers e.g. pull transactions) but it generally works.

To me this says that we're talking about a system that involves people who are telegraphing their dislike of nipple content. I agree with you that advertisers may have reservations about the content, but in this story advertisers aren't mentioned, only users who dislike nipple content are. Maybe there's something I'm missing, but I can't see a connection between advertisers not wanting to be associated with the content in a way that causes people to report nipple pictures.
People have no trouble conceptualizing insurance. We have car insurance, home-owners insurance, life insurance, etc.

But what about "every day life" insurance? It doesn't take much cash on hand or some staples in the cupboard to protect against a wide variety of temporary "glitches" in life. Glitches can be anything from surprise weather events to things like your bank accounts becoming temporarily unavailable.

Importantly, insurance is not an investment we intend to get a return on. It's a cost.
An internal fix for attribution. I have worked with three companies - all three consumer - and they required a reliable attribution mechanism they could rely on to know which channel is required for acquisition of their users, and which one for conversion. Usually it's a very similar product too. We use Branch or Appsflyer api (or Facebook, Google Ads if on website) and then use the JSON generated to map it to our users (in a postgres table) and then run queries by joining that with our internal DB tables.

I usually value two things: one, who first made the user aware about the product (could be organic, FB, SEM, Organic, Instagram, reddit, hacker news, product hunt, anything) and then which channel was responsible for final conversion event we want. Most products in the market only care about last. First touch is important to figure out where to get more users from at a lower cost. In the products, they tend to overwrite that and just use last touch. So, you store the JSON at the time of generation in your own database, map it to userid, and use it for internal calculation.

Part of the severance is 60 days notice of any layoff, so nobody would be blindsided in that sense.

I also don’t see how it gives people time to say goodbye considering you still won’t know who is leaving until they’re laid off, which can happen anytime anyways.

Spreading it out does nothing but create more stress and pressure for both the people going and the people staying.

So long as developers want to be paid by the hour rather than paid for a specific result, I would say this is fine too.
The problem everyone is waffling on here isn't the competitiveness of the wage, it's the gap between the value of what the labor produces and the value offered to produce it.

But you can't escape that gap so long as you're fundamentally trading time for money.

If you want to capture more of the value of your work, you become a contractor and bid firm-fixed or cost-plus contracts instead of labor-hour or time-and-materials.

If you want to capture even more value than that, you work on building business systems and selling a valuable product or service rather than spending your work hours doing the tasks themselves.

Whether you're in Kenya or the US and whether you're doing undesirable or highly desirable work, it is not a moral failing of the business you are working for that they did not also take the time to ensure that you could have become a contractor if you wanted to or that they did not ensure that your economic situation allows sufficient market opportunities for you to quit and form a business if you wanted to.

Well the biggest difference is that the economy was "bad" then but central governments/banks were accommodating.
