I appreciate your response. I think I have been so repeatedly told that the ridiculous elements of DEI (and anti-racism) are the core of those two… movements? by their (ostensible) advocates that I now strongly associate them with silliness, though maybe it is in fact a case of Nazis and the swastika.

> I can't say that this hasn't happened. But if it has, this is one of the useless things that I take umbrage with in my original post.

I sat in a meeting where two young, white colleagues informed another colleague that the term was racist and we should come up with a different one. I tried to push back gently, but I am a white man and as such have no standing in the DEI hierarchy. So it was decided in this meeting full of white people that we would no longer use the term as it might cause offense to someone, maybe. And the two young engineers were satisfied they had made the world a slightly better place. I found it disturbing but don’t know what to do.
As a European, i can't wait for the EU to start the $fining process.
> The almost two hundred years in which Japan implemented self ordered isolation

_Almost_ isolation. They traded with the Portuguese and, later, the Dutch at Dejima (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dejima)

Reading that article, I also think it was almost 300 years, from 1570 to 1854.
Honestly I think this is bad. We'll end up with Blink everywhere.
I open sourced a very minimal proof of concept for this here: https://github.com/jhgg/hyrule which shows the syntax.
There was an entire massive team engineers at Microsoft that worked on iPhone/iPad versions of Office for many years, and every time they were ready for release it was blocked by Ballmer. Their work finally saw the light of day the moment Nadella took over and was instantly a hit.
Saw this on a separate thread the other day:

"Get some weights. Pick up the weights. Put down the weights. Eat healthy food."
There is no real secret. No need for a gym to do those.

But now more seriously - I'd suggest just getting a pull up bar.
You can then do pull-ups in addition to push-ups, squats and some core work, and that'll hit all of the main muscle groups. You can do that at home.
Game devs in the US are paid shit too. Average is around 90k..i can't imagine it's that much worse in Japan.
I had a couple of accidental ah-ha moments about this. Before I got into management all managers (fully up the stack) seemed like pointy hairs bosses. But what is easy to miss in Dilbert is that the PHB is really part of exec suite and rarely your front line manager. A hated front line manager might be usually incompetent or just inexperienced than evil!

The other thing was demonization of front line managers. There was always a terrible (there are definitely terrible traits) managers but never terrible "leaders". Even worse was you'd see articles by hr "influencers" expounding this. Where are the same hr loud speakers now that "leadership" is the one inflicting these layoffs and ridiculous policies?
> Every programming language is about side effects.

> Computations that don't lead to side effects are useless.

Right.

> The way one should visualize pure functional programming is that functional programs don't _do_ anything. They are equivalent to producing a description of the operation. The actual execution happens when those descriptions (generally encoded in effects or data types such as IO/Task) are interpreted by an external runtime.

This is the right way to understand imperative programming too. The program really doesn't do anything, it just describes a set of possible processes. Then the runtime converts the program into one of those processes (or maybe more than one). Each of those processes is a path through a program state space graph, but supposing your process is to have visual effects at various nodes in that graph the runtime will do externally visible things. It's really not any different.

In the end FP is basically just a way to force programming in a SSA style, plus whatever silliness the designers go for to deal with the reality that mathematical functions can't really capture input and output in any sort of useful way. Interestingly, it appears to me that in pure math the vernacular text around the equations fulfills that role.
If there's no functional difference between before and after the loss, it damn well does.

Tell me, how did his lifestyle change as a result of losing this $5 billion? What actual pain of loss did he feel, above and beyond seeing some numbers go down?
Thank you. This seems like the only reasonable explanation I've come across after a ton of reading around.
The problem with Electron is that it's bloated by including a full browser engine and Node.

A couple of years ago I worked on an app that ran on 5 platforms (iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, ChromeOS). Initially we used Phonegap and Electron but then we created our own native wrapper that used the OS webview.

Our macOS app went from 100MB to 5MB of download size and the memory usage also went down considerably. IIRC correctly it consumed like 15MB of memory.

It certainly didn't look native but for our use case (education) that was not an issue. We were able to target 5 platforms with a very small team and the GUI was a single codebase made with InfernoJS and MobX.
I guarantee they focus-tested it and found that most people who remember Clippy don't have fond memories of him (and/or remember the memes/jokes about him more than they remember the actual Clippy), but, more importantly, most people don't remember him at all and wondered why this weird paper clip guy was talking. he hasn't been in an Office product since, what, 23 years ago or something?

> I just dont think its an appropriate topic for elementary school.

I've never understood what this means. Is talking about another student's two Daddies not okay? Teacher talking about their same-sex spouse? Do people imagine they're passing out porn to second graders? Don't get it. Sounds like stupid bullshit. Literally worse than HR DEI training slide decks tbh.

> I very much do have an issue with transexuality being pushed as an option in schools

Your sons aren't going to be unemployed because of DEI essays. Schools "pushing transexuality" is also some stupid bullshit meant to make people feel scared and capture eyeballs.
US bases in Japan have the opposite impact of colonialism. If it weren’t for the bases, Japan would have to pay for their own defense, using up finances and resources that can be allocated to growth and wealth in the current system.

The current arrangement isn’t imposing on or extracting anything from Japan, just protecting it, mostly for free.

Not that I’m saying this is unfair to America either; it’s mutually beneficial for both nations, which is why everyone has kept this happy arrangement for so long.
from TFA: "Oh, yeah, we should also have a union. Sure."
That political decision is due to a lack of support. Preferences have to change. One major factor standing in the way is the overwhelmingly poor service by most cities. So it's a bit of a catch-22 since service can't improve without money.

I'm not even going to bring up places like rural or lower density suburbs as the service there is almost non-existent.

Researchers propose a fourth traffic light for autonomous vehicles
No, it would merely reduce the amount stolen from you.

See here [0] for more theory , but the basic tl;dr is since all value is created by labor being done (your employer, the capitalist doesn't actually do anything to create value) and not all of it is paid out in the form of wages, the workers are being exploited since value is being stolen. Reducing the amount of that wage theft is not the other side of the coin.

If you care about total compensation, “grind LeetCode and work for a FAANG” (haha only serious)

I went from the Dev lead in 2016 in a medium size health care company, to a senior dev/de facto “cloud architect” at a startup to mid level “cloud consultant” at $BigTech. Each job came with more money - and the current one a step change in compensation - and less responsibility and less headaches.
This is also true of Zelda Twilight Princess. It released on the Gamecube and the Wii.

No, all programming philosophies is a about composition? What units one expresses a program in, and how they can be combined together.

How come everyone doesn’t bike everywhere? That’s what I do. So easy pEople
Totally agree with you. I think your point and the one I made earlier are at least two of the naive beliefs often held by a lot of engineers in tech -- myself included. The really pernicious part is that the value generated by engineers are sometimes quite big and the reward they get is a small fraction of it but big enough to make the engineer happy that they never stop to ask for more or find a better deal.
well, somebody must be making money at nintendo, and i hope it is the devs. the price of games on the switch is just silly.
Is Gitea code review any good? If they cloned Github it's going to be an inferior experience compared to Phabricator.
What you have just described is, in fact, an adversarial relationship. That's what it's called when two groups want the opposite thing.
In 1960, "a United States U-2 spy plane was shot down by the Soviet Air Defence Forces"

It's ok to try, but expect your shit to be shot down if you're a dick about it.

Nothing happened when the U2 was shot down. But I personally am ok with the Soviet Union shooting it out of the sky.

Why should the USA do nothing when a balloon, by a massive military power and the USA's new competitor, fly over the USA without a polite, "Hey, do you mind if we fly this "weather balloon" with cameras over your military installations?"

I admit Americans have, and have been shot down. Why is it so weird the other way around? Why are you defending China indirectly by trying to equate it with the USA? If the USA gets shot down, why is that not mentioned by you and others? What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

And, China certainly is getting weird about not having people sail ships through the South China Sea, despite it being ruled as international waters.

You're standing up a bunch of straw men to argue with here.

I didn't say half of what you're asserting, just trying to clear up the definitions of some terms you were getting wrong in the context that you were using them in. If you want to talk about this, which is essentially Marxist theory, and then argue against it... some familiarity with the source material would be good to acquire.
For what it's worth, in-process Webkit views do not have JIT enabled.

The replacement WKWebView enables JIT because it’s in a separate process, with the view painted back into your app.
Didn't think I'd see the day where using a search engine would be considered old-fashioned.

You will still likely have this option, but you are a minority. The search engines response will over ever be as good as the descriptions/keywords you put into the search query.

Would the state of those buildings or roads be expected to be there? Or is this simply completing the data so people can more easily refer to it in OSM if they want to?
I don't think that's a fair comparison.

For listening, anything higher than 16 bit at 48kHz simply does not make sense and will never make sense, for reasons stated in the article.

24 bit could make sense for archival. Higher sample rates can make sense when processing some effects (it is immediately downsampled again afterwards).
One reason for that might be wanting to use the same browser across mobile and desktop though. I know I stuck with Safari for a while because of that.
I'm now on Firefox for both Mac and iOS but the iOS experience isn't that great.

Once other browsers are allowed on iOS, it's possible more users will migrate on both desktop & mobile to Chrome/FF.
The browser asks for the same permission for location access as any other app does.

Once you deny it access, you have to go into settings to change it - just like any other app.

> The Japanese navy was pretty weak which was the main reason for this sneaky Pearl Harbor attack.

Weak isn't the right word. The Japanese navy was world class as far back as 1905, when they crushed the Russians at Tsushima. It's true that the Japanese navy wasn't on par with the US Navy, but then the US Navy was more powerful than all other navies combined by the end of the war.
I think there's a confusing narrative here, where people think layoffs is the same as not hiring or paying less. The market is still hot for roles that are competitive. It's still easy for many good engineers to switch jobs for a 40% pay increase, and in ML people are making more than they ever have at large US tech companies.
You are very fortunate to have had that experience.

Usually, when a manager/director/etc decides to write a lot of code, the result is barrages of rushed pull requests made between meetings. You will be lucky if the code in any of those PRs was actually run, and you can forget about enforcing test discipline, so you have to scrutinize them much more carefully and clean up when they get merged without incorporating your suggestions.
The layoffs in the US market are collusion to bring down salaries plus copycat effects from smaller companies. The hedge funds are driving this because they're greedy fucks.
By definition, you want some of those companies to be old and stable. You, by definition, want life insurance companies outlive your policy. You want big car companies to build tanks in an emergency. You want big companies with lots of employees doing whatever to just exist and keep the economy stable. All the “disruption” at the edges are just for show to find the next giants
This thought experiment doesn't have to involve trucks: most small businesses involve owners working in some capacity, even if it's only managerial (but productive management is labor same as any other component that is required to produce the final product).

Thus, they're being a laborer when they perform productive work, and they're being a capitalist when they pocket the wealth that business as a whole (i.e. all employers collectively, rather than just themselves) have generated. And if they don't actually do the latter, there's no economic exploitation involved.

And I'm sure the kids still remained with their parents at night. Through all of our known history across all cultures families have slept together. It is only in the past few centuries that European wealth and individualism changed that.

So why is this the 'better' option? What is the benefit from separating a child from their parents at night? More likely it just how our parents did it and everyone else does it so we inherently think its the best way.

What we think to be normal or right is in fact the complete opposite that based on our known history.

Wow. just incredible. I've never seen the take that kids working in manufacturing jobs were necessary.

That certainly isn’t the default.
This is a great example of out-of-touch technocratic thinking. I'm sure it makes sense on paper, but won't anywhere else.

"The way posted speed limits are set in the US is not based on safety."

That's an opinion. Any source to back that up? The limits are set based on safety and flow considerations, with safety taking precedent.

""Excessive speed" in the statistics is purely based on posted speed limit."

Not true. This can include going too fast for conditions, such as in snow. Or exceeding the recommended speed for a turn, even if you're going the posted speed limit.

Your interpretations seem very biased so far. I'd love to see your data/facts and not just opinion.
What does this mean for DDG search? Don't they mostly use bing?
I like working for people like this, because often they look to increase both quantity and quality of the people they manage (if they can call you a senior engineer, then that must make them a senior manager). So they're often quite a good advocate for your career.

They're focused on me and the other engineers, we're focused on the product, and everyone is happy.

That contrasts with product focused managers, where I've seen a tendency to burn through engineers and be very stingy with raises and promotions. So the engineers need to take time to be their own advocates and set boundaries and lot of us aren't as good at that so it becomes chaotic.
Actually reading printed copies of those documents would be the penultimate busy works, so much that it would quickly become uberablingly alienating!
Nintendo has been historically notorious for making more money per employee than most companies [0]. 10% is a step in the right direction, but it should definitely be more.

Yep. A friend who just had a kid put it like this: "life now is about being, not doing". Still taking me a long time to get that into my head.
To be fair, there is zero proof in this video that (a) comments were deleted and (b) that it was Samsung that did it.
You are not wrong. I used to think I wanted to work in leadership and now that I'm there it kind of sucks. At least the middle manager level I am at. I have really started considering doing exactly as you suggest, just grinding for a year and then going for a FAANG position. I currently make more money than I ever imagined (I grew up on food stamps) and its far less than what FAANG SR's make. The thought of being able to make more than this with half of the responsibility sounds incredible and I am leaning in that direction.
> We can't expect people to act ethically, to their own big disadvantage, while having to live in a highly competitive system that forces them to make money.

Capitalism is a brutal system. It’s becoming more obvious the longer it runs. I don’t have answers, sadly. Only the ability to see and recognize the failure.
One thing he figured out was that he could cut 75% of the dead weight employees and still have a product that 95% of the users are just as, if not more, satisfied with (despite all the predictions of imminent destruction).

I would argue that administrative and organizations bloat is a very real problem across virtually every large business. The bigger the business, the worse the bloat problem.
I think you have to look at the converse for why they're stable. Even when things are going really well, Nintendo grows very slowly. They don't take large risks outside their core business. Sounds like they believe they're in a position of having the right employees and working on right things, but at the wrong time for market conditions. A lot of the companies doing layoffs have large risky divisions that they don't believe in.

Yes, the article (and your parent comment) accepts that this is true for professional dishwashers (not household ones):

> A professional dishwasher completes 1 or 2 wash and rinse cycles using 3.5 L of water per cycle. The detergent and rinse aid are automatically dispensed into the water at a concentration of 1.5 to 4 mL/L and 0.1 to 0.5 mL/L, respectively. At these concentrations, the residual dilution factor after rinse ranges from 1:250 to 1:667 for detergents and 1:2,000 to 1:10,000 for rinse aids.

> Household dishwasher detergents in a normal cup and plate washing program typically consume a total of 12 L of water: 4.8 L during the washing cycle, 3.6 L of water for the intermediate rinse cycle, and 3.6 L of water for the final rinse cycle. Between the washing and rinsing cycles, 200 mL of water remains inside the dishwasher. Accordingly, the dilution factor for one 20-g tablet of detergent is 1:80,000 (w/v).
