It's difficult to take serious any article that tries to apply Japanese customs to other western (Euro/US/Aus/NZ) cultures. We are deeply entangled, but JP is a different beast. Aside from the aging population and low birth rate, it's still a distinctly different culture than say, New York or London.

What the author describes are long term artifacts of Japanese culture. It's a service culture (dunno if that's a term) in which I mean extra levels of service are given to guests and customers. Again, sorry if "service culture" is incorrect. I highly respect JP culture.

So, I'm not sure how that pertains to jobs in the rest of the western world.

Also, the article is behind a paywall. So boo.
Yes, but in Japan a lot of people doing the pointless jobs are old.

As they pass away, there will be less need for the pointless jobs but there is no one to replace the old people who are also doing the important jobs like farming, which is not highly automated, so there is little chance Japan is on the brink of any real employment crisis. If anything more and more jobs are coming online everyday, with less people to fill them.

Sometimes I know we worry about AI taking our jobs but I’m wondering if we will be able to survive without it ?

ARM has broken binary compatibility many many times.

The first was probably when they took the condition codes out of the hi bits of the PC into their own register, to allow 32 bit addressing instead of 26 bit addressing, thus nuking all the software that thought (as it was encouraged to!) that saving and restoring the PC also saved and restored condition codes.

After Thumb mode was introduced they've waffled over whether you must use only BX to change modes, or whether any instruction that writes to PC (mov, add, pop ...) is ok.

Thumb only CPUs such as Cortex M3/M4/M7 can't run code from e.g. ARM7TDMI. The Thumb mode stuff will work, but it's not a complete ISA. On ARM7TDMI you have to switch to ARM mode for many things, while on ARMv7 you need additional instructions that don't exist on ARM7TDMI. CM0 adds only the essential operations to Thumb1, while M3/M4/M7 add basically a complete re-encoding of ARM mode -- minus conditional execution on every instruction.

In Thumb mode on ARM7DTMI (and successors) a 4 byte `BL` instruction is actually two 2-byte instructions run one after the other. You can separate them with arbitrary other instructions between them, as long as LR is not touched. In ARMv7 `BL` looks the same, but you can no longer split the two 2-byte halves -- it is now actually a 4-byte instruction, and other 4-byte instructions exist using the same initial 2 bytes.

And of course Aarch64 is utterly incompatible with any of the 32 bit ISAs. Early 64 bit cores from ARM also ran 32 bit code. At first they could boot 32 bit OSes, then only 64 bit OSes but they could run 32 bit user code. The latest ARM cores run only 64 bit code, and ARM has said no future 64 bit cores will run 32 bit code at all. Other 64 bit only cores also exist, including the ThunderX (9 years ago!) and Apple's M1 and M2 as well as all iPhones starting from the iPhone 8.
And why would they expect that?

For exasperate, I think you meant exacerbate.
My neighbor asked me to take care of his blind dog for a few days. I went to the dollar store and bought a bunch of treats for every day I had to go over and visit the dog. This way, the dog will associate my visits with something positive.

So before I gave the dog a treat, I'd say hi to the dog, get the leash, tell the dog we're going for a walk, and then get back, and then play with the wrapper of the treat in my pocket, and say, "What's this? Is this for you? Is it a treat?"

And then I'd open the treat and she'd go run off and eat it and then return and we'd hang out for a bit and then I'd tell her I'd see her tomorrow.

The dog is a child. They look forward to you visiting because of the rewards.

Quite an easy thing to do. Just show confidence and do what they want to do. Pretty easy.

I am not interested in introducing another debunked internet copypasta into this conversation. It bears no relevance to the international recognition of LNR and DNR's independence, legitimacy of Ukraine's government and the Crimean referendum.

It seems like you have nothing to respond to the fact that these events have no international recognition whatsoever, nor can you explain it within the framework of your beliefs without resorting to easily debunkable conspiratorial thinking. That's an indication that your beliefs may be wrong.
Beyond that, it would have been avoided if LastPass implemented strict policies about accessing corporate systems using a personal computer. You can't control a 100% what happens on a corporate system, but allowing a personal device, which introduces a larger attack surface with all these softwares present, to access that kind of sensitive data with all the potential is highly irresponsible.

Sure, Plex had a security flaw, and the system owner didn't update its software in a timely manner, but ultimately the responsibility falls upon LastPass who allowed this system to access their network in the first place.

For a business that focuses and sells a product based upon good security practices, the optics are quite damaging for their reputation.

Wow this turned into a anti-EU thread real fast.

Ignoring that I don't think you can at this point in time regulate AI, it's like trying to regulate math, we really have no idea what and how it could be used/adapted yet.

I honestly think there are probably bigger things to think about then AI, at this very moment. Eventually AI will need some kind of ruleset, but it cannot be broadly applied to AI. We would need to regulate companies using it to some aspect, and eventually find out a way to replace the offset of jobs with other jobs or some tax/basic income setup. But that's a large conversation in itself.
Lots of Plex servers probably just running on NAS without anyone actively using them.
That is not the "single problem" I am complaining about.

We already good methods for dealing with this. In fact, we have several, and what is often the hardest coding question is when to use which one (e.g. RCU versus mutexes).

There are plenty of other "hard" problems in modern programming that have nothing to do with shared mutating state (unless you broaden the definition of that so much that it becomes essentially meaningless).

Here's one example: resolving the tension between cache locality and time-varying data access patterns. Here's another: zero-copy data pathways between user space and hardware. Here's another: resolving the relative costs of fundamental GUI implementation choices (e.g. retained or immediate mode drawing models; pre-rendering components or using vector graphics; absolute positioning vs constraint packing)

There's a serious housing shortage.

Worryingly, the higher interest rates are making it more difficult to construct the housing we so desperately need in so many places.
Yes, it's normal when housing prices have massively inflated due to ultra-low interest rates, then rates returned to normal.

If DINKs can't afford it, what does that tell you about the direction housing prices will go?
IMO interviews are designed solely to maximize team size. This requires filtering for individuals for fit well into a hierarchy without disrupting the structures above and below them.

Being "good at the job" is actually bad because it reduces the team's required size.

Almost all the incentives revolve around this. Not only compensation, but entire hierarchies that revolve around EB1C dangling. (managers and executives at multinationals can get a green card faster)
You're most welcome. Agreed, the system makes no sense. But it does reward those who accept that fact, and use a kind of legal jiujitsu, to advance the common good along with their own.

Great example and role model for this approach is swizec.com, who leveraged his online reputation into an O-1 work visa, then an EB-1A green card. He's an HN contributor also. HTH. I'm rooting for you and your projects. :)

I am extremely familiar with audio stuff, and I can assure you that there are no libraries out there that solve the problems you face when writing a digital audio workstation.

Doing non-realtime processing of file-based data? Of course! Oodles of stuff for that, and you can write it in whatever language you want.

Realtime processing of 240 tracks of audio feeding 64 channels of physical output, with hundreds of plugins? Sorry, but no, you can't do this "with a library" or in "a high level language". This, however, is what DAWs do.

One of the disappointments of living in the USA is that when I buy that Gouda imported from the Netherlands, etc. it's actually a special (and not very good) product made for the American market and not sold in Europe. It's a guaranteed fake! Part of why our products are often poor is we can't get the real thing to compare!
It's the opposite. If the US keeps raising rates and other countries don't (like it appears Canada will do), then USD will appreciate in value. Smart to be holding USD right now.
If the article author is reading, watch to see whether the property is booked again for the time of the reservation. Then once it's done, sue the property owner personally (not Airbnb) in small claims court and argue your case on the equitable basis of "unjust enrichment." This basically means that it's not fair for a contract to end up with someone getting paid twice for a single transaction, and the court has the equitable power to fix that by making the recipient "disgorge" the profits. The magic word is "equitable," which tells the judge to switch modes from legal remedies to equitable remedies. That is also how you get around the sticky Airbnb-as-defendant question, and how you avoid the arbitration clause that's likely in the Airbnb ToS.

(I'm not your lawyer. This isn't legal advice. Good luck.)

They tend to work as contractors on a limited term contract and international maritime labor laws are unlikely to require it. Note also the country of registry for the ships may have more lax labor laws too.

(edit)

The only instance of unemployment being mentioned in international maritime labor laws I've found is https://www.ilo.org/dyn/normlex/en/f?p=NORMLEXPUB:91:0::NO::...

> Regulation 2.6 – Seafarer compensation for the ship’s loss or foundering

> Purpose: To ensure that seafarers are compensated when a ship is lost or has foundered

> 1. Seafarers are entitled to adequate compensation in the case of injury, loss or unemployment arising from the ship’s loss or foundering.

This very specifically deals with ships sinking. Not "ok, no work everyone off."

A delicate balance: The seafarers’ employment agreement, the system of the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 and the role of flag States - https://hal.science/hal-01470314/document also touches on unemployment (there's a single mention of it).

Is this what it's written in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JOVIAL? Maybe not all of it but some of it at least I'm thinking.

I haven't been programming for long enough to see it or maybe it changes too slowly to notice, but I feel like the new programming languages of the last 15 years have been similar enough (at a high level) while the programming languages of 50 or 60 years ago are vastly different. If that's the case, maybe some of today's software has a better chance of lasting longer.

Those puzzle questions weren't just used to hire software engineers. Hiring fads sweep corporate America, despite no evidence of effectiveness, and despite economic incentives to hire well.

Yes, they did move away from it, but that doesn't mean we aren't now in the grip of equally bad fads.

> but rarely do I see much examination around why those particular hiring processes appear to work fairly well for the likes of Google, Apple, etc.

You assume they work well, but you don't have any data to support that. That's sort of assumption is basically where these hiring fads come from.

It’s honestly among my most memorable experiences in the past two years.
The United States have decided that they will not provide the same protections required by the EU when it comes to EU citizens' data. That's a choice the American government can and has made. The economic barrier is clearly worth the sovereignty and national security benefit of the government being able to demand data about foreigners without protections or recourse according to lawmakers and that's fair enough to me.

The American CLOUD act grants certain agencies the right to demand data stored in European countries from American companies. This means American companies can either choose to comply with American law, providing said data, or with European law, refusing to provide the data without getting European courts involved. Refusing national security demands from the American government becomes very problematic real fast, especially when gag orders are involved, so companies and American citizens simply cannot be expected to comply with European law.

This choice has the consequence that American companies cannot be trusted to process PII (which is very broad) in any legal sense. Whether or not those companies go evil doesn't matter, the problem lies with the legal protection implemented by the American government.

I'd expect a CLOUD act equivalent from the EU (forcing companies with American offices to hand over the data of American citizens to secret European courts under the guise of national security) will be met with significant protest across the political spectrum. In fact, I would be disappointed if that wasn't protested. Surely Amazon, Microsoft and Google would be pressured to split off or shut down European operations if American citizens would suddenly become at risk of being spied on by foreign governments. If I were an American citizen, I'd certainly want politicians to do something about it!

To parallel the other comment with a wiki leak, the short version is the risk-free interest rate (e.g. treasury bills) minus the rate of inflation.

So if you have 6% inflation, and the return on e.g. the 1 year t bill is 4.75%, you have -1.25% "real" interest rates, because your money at the end of your year of investment will be worth ~1.23% less than it was at the beginning of the year.

I'm not sure I completely agree that the result is actually as bad as that, since stuffing your money in the mattress would put you -5.5% in the hole by comparison, but still.
In retrospect, it reminds me of the Amazon logo [0]. The orange swoopy thing evokes the Amazon A-to-Z "smile" (2000 onwards, although they had a more generic orange swoopy thing before that). Never noticed that similarity before.

Less than 15 minutes?! The only way I can solve them in less than 15 minutes is if I've seen them before.

These protections aren't in place yet. They're not even finished at the moment. Until the time comes that the necessary protections are in place, one can assume American companies are off limits for the time being, as they have been for the past couple of years.
