I only add people I've actually met on LinkedIn. I don't use the "FB, but for work" -aspect of it that much.

When I was recruiting, I looked up the people applying on LinkedIn to see if we had any common contacts, sometimes I reached out to them if they could say anything about the person applying.

Mostly it's just an online CV that everyone can look up. I've actually just exported the LinkedIn job history page as a CV when I've needed it. All the data is already there.
Nah, we've just spent a long fucking time not dying with increasing efficiency.

Distributed autoadversarial algorithms have honed our minds over millions of years.

You may be able to show that something is largely a scaled form, but you're leaving out optimised mass/volume/energy scaling optimisations that have one hell of an impact.

Feedback loops of minor advantages tend to cascade and the propagate across the entirety of breeding populations.

(Some advantages are more aggressively curbed, such as the sickle cell trait.)

Then it's missing things like FOXP2 - weird shit happens to language capabilities when you break it.

Not only that, but:

Three amino acid substitutions distinguish the human FOXP2 protein from that found in mice, while two amino acid substitutions distinguish the human FOXP2 protein from that found in chimpanzees,[17] but only one of these changes is unique to humans.[10] Evidence from genetically manipulated mice[22] and human neuronal cell models[23] suggests that these changes affect the neural functions of FOXP2.

So there are major mutations that make differences on scales that they aren't even looking at it.

For the n-th time: the Fediverse is _not_ a commercial product. It is a tool. A tool needs only be useful to its users and doesn't care about extracting the most revenue.

It is exactly this sick mindset of profit-making that made Facebook, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Instagram, ... what they are today: dopamine machines giving 10s doses to the users to feed the datasets and make profits. It does not serve the user. It is not a model to follow, but one to reject wholly and fully.

I think it is fair to restate that your argument is: "Because there are classes of people who cannot vote because children are restricted in voting areas, election day should not be a federal holiday."

I am having a little trouble taking that in good faith. For one, the evidence presented is not of a holiday shared by everyone (friends who could watch kids, partners who also have jobs, etc).

That's before asking if it's right that children cannot be with you to vote or if that could be done better. That's before asking if there was higher turnout in other groups, like underpaid teachers.
I know some Christians in NZ who are from mainland China. They have the same stories.
> people have shown that they will not believe in the validity of the election regardless of the evidence presented.

This is misleading. The vast majority will have had no exposure to that evidence (there's no big stage you can do convincing presentations on that everyone will see).

Heck, I wouldn't know how to go about finding that evidence atm.

What's stopping you from making a basic version? Just about everything supports HTTP 1.0 still so you can make a quick program that sends:

GET / HTTP/1.0

over a socket and that's already mostly working. Figure out TLS. Then you just have to do command line parsing and add the stuff you parsed into your request.

Those things are why I hate this whole culture of creating "user-friendly" software that not only tries to be clever and helpful without first asking what you actually want, but then also actively fights you if you dare to refuse the "help".

Same with those editors that auto-close parentheses and quotes and when it's wrong and I want to delete a redundant quote it also deletes a second one because the developers apparently did not foresee a situation where an odd number of quotes can exist in a file. Not smart enough to do anything right but just smart enough to annoy people. Unpredictable behaviour for key inputs is not user-friendly.

In this instance the open source-ness refers to being able to inspect and compile the application you enter your Apple ID into. It doesn't protect your device from malware you install through an open source app store, obviously.

This is why I appreciate the F-Droid process. F-Droid is the most popular open source app store for Android and it insists that app developers publish their source, which then gets built by F-Droid, rather than upload binaries.

You still have to trust F-Droid and I'm sure there are injection risks involved somewhere, but it's heaps better than Google Play's/Samsung Store's/Amazon's approach of "upload a binary and we'll send it to your users".

However, this trust problem is a factor everywhere. Every mobile app store carries malware. Apple had malware published for ages that was all injected by the same infected, redistributed compiler. Google Play takes down malware all the time.

Which stores you trust and how you can distinguish the useful apps from the malware is all up to you, but unless you're building all apps yourself after inspecting every single source file (including every single dependency, and possibly reverse engineering the operating system libraries while you're at it), you'll always run the risk of installing malware.

You can mitigate this by installing your emulators and other such apps through the App Store if you don't like this one, but the risk model isn't very different.
Not quite.

What I will agree with, is that while it could be wrapped into an economic decision, if so, then "making sure there are hospitals there", or police, or schools is also an economic decision.

Which pretty much means that with such reasoning, all centralized planning is. Many economists might disagree.

Had a similar thing with a guy who taught Android programming and was stuck on Android 2, while Android 5 or so was out. He did not know about specifying button handlers in the XML of the view and all kinds of stuff. They did not manage to set up the IDE properly for the exam, so that logging and installing the written app on a phone did not work either. Got out of it with a bad grade, because he did not see his Android 2 shit in my solution.
This is what they are even admitting to:

Under "3.4 Limitations of our methodology" - "3.4.1 Subjective human judgments"

> A fundamental limitation of our approach lies in the subjectivity of the labeling. In our study, we employ annotators who are familiar with the GPT models’ capabilities. However, this group is not occupationally diverse, potentially leading to biased judgments regarding GPTs’ reliability and effectiveness in performing tasks within unfamiliar occupations. We acknowledge that obtaining high-quality labels for each task in an occupation requires workers engaged in those occupations or, at a minimum, possessing in-depth knowledge of the diverse tasks within those occupations. This represents an important area for future work in validating these results.

Central banks take Swift action to keep cash flowing amid investor fears
This might sound snide, but I assure you I am asking in good faith to prove a point. What does it mean to audit the election, without skipping the complexity?

A few questions I would expect to be answered:

How do we know all votes cast were legitimate?
How do we know that the voting machines recorded votes correctly?
How do we know the auditors are good faith actors?
How do we know ballots weren't lost/delayed (mail in)?
How do we know legitimate looking votes were cast by the right person?

My overall assertion is not that we can't know. It's that voting is so complex that this can't be easily explained in a satisfying way to (or by) a layman. It's so complex that "trust" is a core part of the election process.

Should I have to take a quarter long class in election mechanics to be satisfied that our voting system is legitimate? That's a bit of hyperbole, but I truly don't know how our elections work and I don't think I could understand them in an afternoon and it doesn't have to be that way.

Taiwan's elections are simple and self-evident. American elections are extremely complex and require trust in institutions.

Taiwan's elections optimize for trust. America's elections optimize for cost. Trust is priceless.

I really would like an explanation of what audit means. I am open to the idea of being surprised by a satisfying answer, but I am also asking because I don't think the answer will be satisfying.

Unless there were some phones I never saw, the iPhone was the first slate-style phone that you used with your fingers. Before that, everything had buttons (like the Blackberry, which kept keyboards until they finally died), or had crappy resistive touchscreens that you needed a stylus to use. The iPhone was the first one I remember that had a glass screen with capacitive touchscreen, needed no stylus, and didn't try to copy the Windows UI on a tiny screen.

I've found it to be quite the opposite. It's also important to note that mob programming recommends rotating who is "driving" the session, so we change who is sharing every 15 minutes.

I don't think this approach scales to more than a team of 4-6 people but we've been able to forge strong bonds on our team, solve complex problems (in domain definition, actual code, ci/cd issues, and more) in ways that the entire team feels are appropriate and while also keeping the whole team abreast of all the changes. We get far more done than we used to and we've successfully onboarded several new team members.

Mildly off-topic, but is "BS" the usual shortening of this type of degree where you hail from? If it's United States I would be even more surprised that this would be the case, since who wants a "BS Degree"? In the UK at least we normally refer to them as BSc degrees and there's never really a need to expand.
I guess the relation I'm failing to see in this argument is why skew or no skew is supposed to be a determining factor in whether or not the metric is to be applicable outside of Meta in the first place. Say the metric weren't skewed, you still don't know it is applicable outside Meta because you don't know what it was measuring only that what was measured didn't favor either remote or on site work. Say you knew what was measured were skewed, you still don't know if it's an applicable measurement outside of Meta. The point being while you do need to understand what was measured to be able to apply it to other companies this doesn't suggest whether the metric is skewed is what plays a part in deciding if the metric is relevant or not. The metric's point of measurement is solely what's relevant while the skew is just a property of the measurement which can sometimes be skewed and sometimes not regardless if the measurement is applicable or not.

Taking this to your mention of athleticism with two examples, the first of which being athleticism by lowest BMI which skews towards runners versus weight lifters. Being skewed towards runners doesn't mean lowest BMI is a sensible metric for a coach to pick runners with it just means it's an even worse way to pick weight lifters. Similarly measuring athleticism by how many basketball shots one can make in 10 minutes may not be skewed towards one or the other but still doesn't mean it's a good way to measure a runner. The only thing relevant to know is whether the metric is one you want to optimize for. Whether or not that metric is skewed towards a certain disposition may or may not be true but regardless which it's not how you decide if the metric is one you want to optimize for.
Believing that you have everything under control is a red flag and indicates a lack of experience. No matter how good your process you will eventually release something broken into production and essentially what you are saying is that those that will have to offer up their weekends and evenings are not important to you.

Probably both. Escaping the routine, boring familiarity and searching for that one place where I'd be perfectly content with existence, but that in itself I have come to find is probably not possible to achieve because of the very nature of being human. Being self-aware is such a curse sometimes.
I got my computer science BS and MSc from two different EU universities and I found the programming aspects to be very secondary. Yes, you needed some programming to graduate but not nearly as much as math, and half of the programming you needed had little to do with real-world programming.

In two undergrad courses, we programmed in an old language and a very outdated environment, the one the professor had used their entire career - and apparently that continued until the prof retired. The courses were about implementing algorithms, so the language didn't really matter, but I would say the course was probably a net negative from a software engineering perspective.

We had a database course covering the mathematics in good detail. We learned the relational model, normal forms and such mathematically, with a little basic SQL at the end. That was great for understanding, as at the end of the course you'd be able to write out the actual maths performed by a query but it didn't really teach SQL.

Multiple professors wrote typical "researcher code" - I don't necessarily want to say it's bad but it's very different from what you'd see as good industry code. Lots of global state, variable names with 1-2 letters, magic numbers. It's understandable why research code to be like that but it is much more fitting for an implementation of a research paper than for a software product.

I was really skeptical at first, but we've been doing it for over a year now and I've come to thoroughly enjoy it. I find that I get stuck on issues much less frequently because I have other people to talk through them, knowledge transfer is inherent, and when you have multiple people writing and reviewing the code as it's written PR reviews become basically instant and you can deploy much faster.
NinJedi – Trucker Road Rage Edition
https://www.google.com/search?q=define%3A+hacking

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker

"Reflecting the two types of hackers, there are two definitions of the word "hacker":

1. Originally, hacker simply meant advanced computer technology enthusiast (both hardware and software) and adherent of programming subculture; see hacker culture.[3]

2. Someone who is able to subvert computer security. If doing so for malicious purposes, the person can also be called a cracker.[4]

Today, mainstream usage of "hacker" mostly refers to computer criminals, due to the mass media usage of the word since the 1990s."

Fortunetly there is a trend to revert back to the non malicous meaning of the word. See you are commenting on a "Hacker" news site. See https://hackaday.com/
See even "DailyHacks" or "LifeHacks" in a social non technical setting, etc.
Hacking is simply fiddling with a system and making it do something that it was not designed to do.
I suddenly had this image of a CV by a hunter gatherer looking for dev job. “Dev looking for a job. Skills: Able to work in small tribes, likes to hunt Mammoths, Bears and small rodents for team mates. Basic arithmetic : can count to ten, more with help from others.”
I don't think it scales much beyond 4-6 developers, if you have bigger teams than that you could try a couple of sub-mobs.

> even though it was EOL and Java 8 had been out for a while,

What's wrong with that?

You're supposed to cover the basics in intro to programming courses, and typically Java is not outright taught in college, and instead it's object-oriented programming using a random OO language, which more often than not is Java. Do you need to use Java20 to learn inheritance?

Also, unless you expect to work exclusively on greenfield projects, the bulk of any developer work is maintaining legacy applications. I still see an awful lot of projects in java 8 and only a few in java 11. Insisting on the latest and greatest java release makes as much sense as pressing to cover Lombok or Kotlin.
I agree, yet I consider this to be the other way round. I treat "rm" still like a direct removal of the file and therefore use it with caution every time. Having it trash the file on my local machines is just a to me hidden fallback. But it is a very valid concern, of course.
