This is my face of shock and dismay. It's wild how one could, at one time, watch the influx of tether into the system and relate it directly to the price of BTC. It really makes you wonder how much tether is a necessary parasite, subsuming the scaffold of the organism's body beyond what the brain intended.
Digging the design! Especially the SVG text train around the border. Is it 100% animated by SVG or is there some JS involved?
> dead cat bounce

I’m not following the analogy here. What is a dead cat bounce - does it describe the stock curve?
Borg, Omega, K8s, and Nomad all have a separate scheduling pathway for batch jobs, don't they? My understanding is that this is the big complexifier for all distributed schedulers: that once you have two different service models for scheduling (placement sensitive delay insensitive, and placement insensitive delay sensitive), you now have two scheduler process, and you have to work out concurrency between their claims on resources.

The Omega design in particular is, like, ground up meant to address this problem; the whole paper is basically "why the Mesos approach is suboptimal for this problem".
St. John's graduate here. It looks like that list includes a lot of what we read in "lab" class mixed in with what we read in math class. Freshman math was almost entirely the study of Euclid and Nicomachus.

The question here isn't about what "should" happen or what is legal. It's a question I share -- for which types of companies will this hurt my chances of landing a job?

Surely there are some out there who abuse these responses. I'd personally prefer to put "decline to answer" for all race/veteran/disability questions. But I don't because I'm worried someone will notice that and think I'm a weirdo for doing it.
"The left destroy language"

"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, okay, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, okay, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right — who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."
So true. It was like that quote from Bane in The Dark Knight Rises:

"Oh, you think social distancing is your ally. But you merely adopted social distancing; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't socialise until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!"
Indeed. The proper thing (also read as: the friendliest way for distro packagers) is for software projects to generate and publish a tarball themselves as part of their tag+release process.

That provides multiple advantages. Unlike GitHub’s unreliable automatically generated files, a fixed file can be hashed or cryptographically signed by the project (with SSH signatures, Signify, PGP, etc.), and later verified without having to extract the files first or check out the underlying repo.

Another thing many projects aren’t aware of: if your project uses Git submodules, anyone using GitHub’s autogenerated tarballs will be unable to build your software, because those don’t contain submodules.
It appears to be a liberal arts program. Is this substantially different, with respect to the rigor of mathematics, than most other comparable programs? They might cover more calculus (maybe at a theoretical level?) than most liberal arts programs.
> The most famous anti-fascists are the democrats.

They might be the most numerous ones, but the anti-fascism has pretty much always been claimed by the communists, they even built a famous anti-fascist protection wall to stop the fascists from sabotaging their economy. Very few democrats felt the need to talk about themselves as anti-fascists, that's a far-left thing. Democratically minded people act anti-fascist but don't speak of it. Communists speak of anti-fascism while they torture political opponents to death.
Not the person you're replying to but I would guess since the OP is concerned about not getting contacted by recruiters, I would assume he is looking for work and can't find it via the recruiter route. The alternative is talk to people you've worked with before and ask them if they are hiring at their company. If you did good work with them and there is indeed an opening, that's another avenue to find work.

I also haven't landed work via recruiters since probably ~2001 but have worked the entire time.
> Why is this considered good / normal / expected, but s/men/blacks/g and s/women/whites/g

...because the former holds true across correlations (and is difficult to confound anyway, since the group 'men' and the group 'women' are distributed in like proportion through correlated groups - rich and poor, white and black, around the world, etc), while the latter is very difficult to convincingly show because controlling for economic status alone eliminates more than half of the gap.

Men are genuinely, testably, provably, empirically more violent than women. It's hard to apply any numerate approach to the data which does not support this conclusion. The correlation between melanation and violence is murky and very plausibly non-existent except as artifacts of confounding factors.

Moreover, the definition of "violent behavior" for the purposes of essentially all major research on this topic excludes major wars. If you include projection of military force around the world, it seems likely that the violence perpetrated by white folks is likely to be proportionally greater.

> Morally, neither is, as we should treat people as individuals, not as members of X group.

I broadly agree with this statement, but I think we can still, eg, teach boys not to rape without running afoul of this standard.
This shit is the entire reason I bother with piracy at all. I very, super-duper much don't want to maintain a media server, but I do want several things in their full, original versions (Beavis and Butthead is one, in fact, but there are several), or that flat-out can't be had otherwise, or whatever, and as long as I'm having to maintain the server anyway....

If they (all these companies) ever fully sort out audio rights, start providing great-quality copies of movies without screwing with them (the 4k77 and related projects are far and away the highest-quality copies of the original, unmolested Star Wars trilogy available, period, for any price, and they're entirely a very-expensive-to-produce volunteer fan-made effort, available for free! WTF?), stop cutting episodes, and stop revoking access to things, I can finally scrap that stupid server. It's 1000% not worth the cost and effort just to avoid paying for the things I watch. Buuuuut if I'm maintaining it anyway, for other reasons, well, that's another matter.
Yes, when I haven't done much. Like a lot of people my productivity fluctuates throughout any given week.

2 stand ups per day is brutal! I would fight against that for the simple reason that it is an interruption to my and others work flow and do you really need to know what has happened twice within 8 hours? This just sounds like micromanagement.

Your stand up sounds whack - it's supposed to be just the team, for the team. Then you can use jargon that the team will understand. Directors and Execs would have a hard time following. Surely this is why we have transparent scrum/kanban boards for these people.

Your work's ways of working really riles me up, man!

As I understand it, it's more scaling the company and managing the keys does become an issue if you handle those directly. Imagine explaining this stuff now to a junior dev lol. As for a database's own encryption, I would trust it as much as you trust the organization programming that database.

Did you also think about hooking up OpenAI APIs to auto generate the documentation, after which developer could make tweaks to improve?
C was better than Pascal? Or Fortan? Puh-leeease!

Despite small community and not a lot of people working on Fortran compilers (at least as compared to C), Fortran programs usually still beat C on benchmarks.

And Pascal? -- Well, it has so much better grammar... like, it was specifically designed to be unambiguous LL(1) language.

And these are only the two I can name off the top of my head that would straight-up win against C in almost every respect, or at least draw. And these two predate C.

If you look more closely at the history of UNIX and C, you realize that people who created it weren't guided by some great ambition to make a good product... they were just pricks who didn't like to study what others did before them, and thus invented their own square-wheel bicycle. They then also lacked the insight into how defective their bicycle was, but were really eager to sell it to those who knew even less about bicycles. It was through pure luck that UNIX took off and won the OS race. It has nothing to do with its engineering qualities.
Not to minimize the evils of child sex abuse at all, but I think many more rich and powerful people are involved with children than one might imagine. Just look at the number of people who were associated with Epstein, or the various scandals in the British government in the 1980s and 2010s.

> A dead cat bounce is a temporary, short-lived recovery of asset prices from a prolonged decline or a bear market that is followed by the continuation of the downtrend. Frequently, downtrends are interrupted by brief periods of recovery—or small rallies—during which prices temporarily rise.

> The name "dead cat bounce" is based on the notion that even a dead cat will bounce if it falls far enough and fast enough. It is an example of a sucker's rally.

AFAIK, every state's attorney general's office will have an online site and/or form for filing complaint(s), as well as a postal address you can use.

You can free-form your own letter, though that might delay things somewhat from the AG's office, though the business / countereparty will typically get on their game quickly.

There's a difference between "90% of the population is against something" and "the same, but they are also willing to vote against their chosen representative in order to stop it, and have a viable alternative that will".

In the US, we talk a lot of partisan issues that pit parts of the country against one another; and of bipartisan issues that unite them. I'd like to introduce the concept of an antipartisan issue: one that unites the country against its own politicians. In this particular case, surveillance is antipartisan, because:

- People do not want to be surveilled

- Politicians believe the people need to be surveilled in order to stay in office

The last one might seem confusing. But keep in mind that things like high crime rates tend to get politicians thrown out of their job. Big, high-profile busts of scumbag criminals tend to make politicians look more competent and thus increase chances of reelection. And if politicians as a class believe that surveillance is necessary to prosecute crime, then they will disobey democratic instruction not to.
Heh. I grew up in a town nearly identical to the one mentioned in the article (not far, either - probably only a 45 minute drive).

My bus stop was like a half mile/three quarters of a mile away so in the mornings my dad would drop me off on his way into work. One morning I realized we made it too late, and I had missed the bus.

On the walk home I got approached by a police officer who pulled up next to me. Thankfully, we had some history as he was my DARE officer in fifth grade.

He told me 3 different people called the police about a 15 year old walking by himself with a bag and large jacket on. People can never resist being busybodies.
Women are a protected group, so people have biases that prevent them from seeing the reality when it comes to this topic. As evolved beings made to maximize fitness, there were a lot of strategies that worked for women and shaped their psychology that noone dare point out. Also anyone coming too close to the truth will quickly get banned.

Aesthetically, intellectually and scientifically (Occam's razor), a simpler method is a better method, because one shows to have understood the essence of the problem or natural phenomenon that has been modelled.

From a software point of view, more complex methods are also more prone to implementation error. Dominic's post is not opposed to Opus or the other formats, but argues (to me, convincingly) there is a valid spot on the map of audio formats for very simple format that still has more decent audio quality than other very simple formats. The result has compact file sizes, rapid decode times and still sounds well.

EDIT: The post is a good educational read (as any good software developer IMHO should aspire to creating simple code), initially and/or eventually. His other posts (e.g. the one on his Pagenode CMS) also show this simplicity-seeking mind set.
A popular belief system insists that people be treated as members of X group before all else, and all such groups must be ranked by their oppressive power.

That ranking is effectively arbitrary, and so the system is used mainly as a bludgeon of mobs who wish to silence and abuse others.

That’s why we’re seeing the kind of warped reasoning you’re alluding to.

"if you throw it out the top floor window, even a dead cat would bounce". I shouldn't use the phrase though, as I'm actually very fond of cats. I think it's an example of society's bias against cats. If it were called "dead dog bounce" it would likely be taboo
Kids got in serious trouble for this back then too. I'm not sure I could find a article, but I do remember hearing about it happening in the news (post columbine). I'm pretty sure the kids who committed columbine also did this with a Doom level editor. So rightly or not, school officials would see this as copy-cat behavior.
As someone who grew up in a small town we also have to remember that police jobs need to be easily accessible for the sons/daughters of affluent, town-running families in order to provide “respectable” positions for them. Gotta hide the shame of how they barely passed high school and were too sheltered to join the military like their elders did.

Everybody who had to maintain an API knows this.

1. You can't just rely on documentation ("we never said we would guarantee this or that") to push back on your users' claims that you introduced a breaking change. If you care more about your documentation than your users, they will turn their back on you.

2. However if you start guaranteeing too much stability, innovation and change will become too costly or even impossible. In this instance, if the git team has to guarantee their hashes (which seems impossible anyway because it depends on the external gzip program) then they can never improve on compression.

Tough situation to be in.
This was a great article. While I was at Livepeer (distributed video transcoding on Ethereum [1]), we converged onto a very similar architecture, disaggregating scheduling into the client itself.

The key piece is to have a registry [2] with a (somewhat) up-to-date view of worker resources. This could actually be a completely static list that gets refreshed once in a while. Whenever a client has a new job, they can look at their latest copy of the registry, select workers that seem suitable, submit jobs to workers directly, handle re-tries, etc.

One neat thing about this "direct-to-worker" architecture is that it allows for backpressure from the workers themselves. Workers can respond to a shifting load profile almost instantaneously without having to centrally deallocate resources, or wait for healthchecks to pick up the latest state. Workers can tell incoming jobs, "hey sorry but I'm busy atm" and the client will try elsewhere.

This also allows for rich worker selection strategies on the client itself; eg it can preemptively request the same job on multiple workers, keep the first one that is accepted, and cancel the rest, or favor workers that respond fastest, and so forth.

[1] We were more of a "decentralized job queue" than "distributed VM scheduler" with the corresponding differences, eg shorter-lived jobs with fluctuating load profiles and our clients could be thicker. But many of the core ideas are shared, even our workers were called "orchestrators" which in turn could use similar ideas to manage jobs on GPUs attached to it... schedulers all the way down!

[2] Here the registry seems to be constructed via the Corrosion gossip protocol; we used the blockchain with regular healthcheck probes.

I feel insanely lucky to have a well paying job in this job climate right now.

One thing I suggest trying is applying out of North America, and look towards relocating somewhere like Germany. They've been thirsty for talent for a while, it hasn't died down as much as it has in this bubble bursting in Silicon Valley, and although they haven't exactly been attracting it given they don't pay as much it's probably a sacrifice you should be willing to consider if you want to stay in this industry. [1]

An important first step if you're considering this route is signing up here at EURES. [2] That alone will make you more attractive to recruiters out in that direction if you choose to try and go through them, although personally I don't like them taking a cut and can apply just fine on my own.
