Does that mean if I tweet about coding and use identifiers like "setUserName", which is not an English word, the tweet gets a huge penalty? If so, that's disappointing.
I've befriended and fed a certain individual in south San Jose who would stand on a the corner of Bernal and Santa Theresa and yell at the air. Anyone familiar with the area knows who I am talking about.

He is extremely lucid most of the time. And a very grateful and warm hearted individual. But he cannot for the life of him access any services, food stamps or healthcare or anything. The police can't even help him. They all know him. No one seems to be able to help him. I've fed him and been his friend, I don't know what else I can do.

He has no ID nor way to get ID.
SARIF is implemented as a separate output format and is supported. the "json" one contains more information such as taint traces (even unconfirmed ones that haven't reached sinks), anomaly tags, static behaviour etc... main json format is intended to capture as much data as possible so it can be analyzed later as the original intention is to hunt for malware, anomalies and doing research in general on top of the whole PyPI repository. I found SARIF to be more "practical" or actionable in terms of what needs to be done in fixing the source code or vulnerabilities found vs research oriented such as "this piece of code is doing network communication". Due to this differences it was added as a separate format which is a subset and reformatted (to the SARIF standard) "json" output format

I think people usually realize how pointless and uncomfortable it is every time they try it.

"When you look at a 2-D movie, it's already in 3-D as far as your mind is concerned. When you see Lawrence of Arabia growing from a speck as he rides toward you across the desert, are you thinking, 'Look how slowly he grows against the horizon'? Our minds use the principle of perspective to provide the third dimension. Adding one artificially can make the illusion less convincing."

> So, Mono is alive and well inside every version of .NET since 5.

The official mono project is no longer under active development since the acquisition of Xamarin and the reassignment of core Mono team members to .NET Core.

Microsoft’s zombification of Mono by lifting code into .NET doesn’t suddenly make it alive. We’re not going to someday get a .NET 8 reimplementation inside Mono.

Because my client knows how to display the data, and my server doesn't? I have a button in my app that, when clicked, sends a mutation to the server, and then changes it's display based on what the server returns. At this point, moving this functionality to htmx means that both my client and my server need to know how to style this button.
While I've no reason to doubt that safety concerns were the primary driver of this move, I wonder if economic concerns weren't also a big factor.

This store was opened in 2022 and presumably the decision to open it was made in 2021, back when people were anticipating a big return to offices and downtown SF in general.

That certainly didn't wind up happening, and SF's downtown hasn't recovered nearly as much as other major metros. A big expensive store at 8th and Market probably saw far fewer customers than they'd planned for. Low revenue could have been a driving factor in the decision to close, alongside safety.
If you're using the socratic method, you're not debating, you're teaching. One interpretation is you have a stance and you're trying to get someone there and not particularly interested in what they have to say.

I tend to agree. By tearing him down as much as they can, and making his minor issues stick out more than his major good sides they can offset his "worth" per-se. Additionally there's the narrative that all people with lots of money are automatically assumed to be evil, so if they're not evil they need to be torn down enough that they fit with the stereotype.
> Is the coding question that is representative of the work you do at your company, and that you expect candidates to have done?

The solution is a while-loop with a couple of if-statements. I would hope an engineer would write code like this many times per day. Whenever they need to marshal a blob from A to B.

What most people think of today as "word processor" programs are actually low-end desktop publishing systems.

A useful taxonomy might include:

* text editors: produce and edit text, saved to files

* formatting languages: inline, interlinear and/or out-of-band formatting to define semantic and/or visual layout

* word processors: text editors with an integrated formatting system with the ability to integrate some graphic elements, producing either printable documents or a specialized save format. Most likely to offer WYSIWYG-ish as the primary interface.

* publishing systems: formatting systems designed to create templates and apply them to produce repeatable-but-tweakable documents from multiple inputs and updated contents
Are anti-Tesla comments claiming they sell relabeled VWs a common occurrence on the internet?
Yeah but you also need the bandwidth of the sampler to exceed the highest frequency of the sample. Most samplers are limited by some kind of RC time and not their sinc envelope. Most.
> I would 100% take a machine that performs 30% better than a human or helps a human perform 30% better every time because it means fewer humans die on the road.

It's surprisingly hard to establish those parameters though, since (i) the more meaningful indicators of good performance (driver error fatalities) happen only every million or so miles, even less frequently once you've narrowed your pool down to errors made by sober drivers that weren't racing or attempting to driver in conditions unsuited to electronic assistance, so that's a lot of real world road use required to establish statistically significant evidence a machine is a 30% or so safe than a human driver (ii) complex software doesn't improve monotonically, so really you need that amount of testing per update to be confident that the next minor version of something "30% safer" hasn't introduced regression bugs which mean that it is now a bit worse than the average driver and (iii) performance in different road conditions is likely highly variable such that it might be both 30% better overall and 30x as likely to cause an accident if not disengaged in that particular circumstance.

To make a valid assessment of the overall safety impact, you'd also have to factor in that (iv) the worst drivers who skew the stats are the generally the ones least likely to buy it and (v) if it's fully autonomous driving, road use would increase substantially and whilst that may have other benefits the likely outcome from substantial increase in miles driven using tech that's only marginally better than a human is more humans dying on the road

HN did the same thing with Bitcoin when it was soaring in value. I remember the front page felt like it was 90% Bitcoin. I was grateful that HN added an exception, bringing the discussion back into balance.
OP here. Unfortunately this thread is mostly misinformation. There were a bunch of viral threads from the growth hacker / influencer crowd, including this one, within hours of the code release with a very superficial understanding of the code (and how recsys work in general). That's partly what motivated me to write this article.

See here for a rebuttal of the main tweet in that thread (near the bottom of the article). https://solomonmg.github.io/post/twitter-the-algorithm/
It's also just generally wrong to build a scheduler on top of the docker API. We have CRI for a reason, because everyone knows Docker is not going to be around forever. Certainly not the company. Maybe dockerd.
> Couldn't Whole Foods hire armed security to dissuade theft?

This would likely result in a social media fallout that they don't want to deal with, considering that the core customer base of Whole Foods overlaps largely with those that at least publicly claim that law enforcement over private property rights is tantamount to oppression.
It's a constant problem with trying to talk about process. It's much easier to see the struggles of others, and not your own. I've had a couple bosses who probably could write a book on management, but to a man, their thesis about what makes them successful and which bits are necessary always misses some critical piece, usually lamented in private amongst the senior people.

One of these, talking about his own mentor, asked me once, rhetorically, "is he successful because of his theories, or because he uses the same people on every project?" Wish that some of my previous bosses were that aware. They didn't always see the detailed work their senior people were doing to keep the wheels on. You always assume they see that about you when it comes to who they chose to report, but to hear them enumerate the virtues of the team, and omit such things, that stings.

There are certain fictions we engage in different strategies for solving problems as well, and there's always a little Socratic method in the middle where we pretend like we haven't seen the solution at the end, and go through a farce of arriving at it step by step. That may reduce the importance of sudden epiphanies, but it does not remove it.

I 100% agree with you that we should have regulators auditing and verifying safety information for autonomous systems.

But I'd like to point out that the link you included is out-of-date. Tesla has continued to publish their autopilot safety numbers in their quarterly slide decks. Here is Q3 2022 for example, see page 10: https://tesla-cdn.thron.com/static/SVCPTV_2022_Q4_Quarterly_...

Miles between accidents on Autopilot
Q4 2021: 4.3 million miles
Q1 2022: 6.5 million miles
Q2 2022: 5.1 million miles
Q4 2022: 6.2 million miles
that's not a problem in the decade timeline but it is problematic over a century or two. it's especially problematic since it's accelerating and has a couple decades of inertia. the CO2 we release today will raise sea levels for the next 50 years or so.
Is there any source of scrutiny you’d accept as valid criticism?

Seriously though, the burden of proof shouldn’t be on the anti-IQ crowd. IQ is a new construct, that proponents have been trying to justify for over half a century. At some point, repeated failures to convince a broader field of its utility should be evidence enough that it might not be worth investigating. Yes, sometimes there are worthy theories which receive unfair treatment, like e.g. continental drift, however even Wegener’s theory took less than 50 years to be accepted, and I bet IQ research has received orders of magnitude more funding and attention than Wegener ever did.

To date, the only evidence for IQ and the g-factor comes from the tests them selves, the construct is not used in any models outside of the field of psychometrics (while psychometrics them selves is becoming more and more fringe as a science). It’s use has historically been focused around racist conjectures and eugenics.

Even though I shouldn’t I’m still gonna give one more shot at finding evidence of the increasing irrelevance of IQ in modern science. I searched for “IQ cognitive psychology” on google scholar. While I did find some attempts of researchers trying to merge psychometrics and Cognitive Psychology, however when Dennis et.al (2009) actually went ahead and looked how useful IQ was in a common neurodevelopmental model, they found it was simply in the way:

> Using IQ as a matching variable or covariate has produced overcorrected, anomalous, and counterintuitive findings about neurocognitive function.

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-the-inter...

In my search results I also found another paper, which I couldn’t access, dating all the way to 1988, which seems to be making the same case as I that IQ is on its way to the history books: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0168863880840087...

> The quality of the ads I've been served have noticeably decreased/gotten more skuzzy.

This is my experience as well, and is the thing the higher ups at Twitter should be really concerned about. Low rent.
> Teslas are safer than any other car on the road.

This simply isn't true. By the mile they have a worse safety record than other cars in their class (mitigating factors: where they're driven and who drives them). You might be referring to Tesla's marketing statistic that there are fewer accidents per mile involving autopilot - typically engaged in ideal driving circumstances - than when it's switched off, or across all other drivers. But that's not very meaningful data. Some would argue that citing marketing figures from a company with a track record for obfuscation and dishonesty as "the data" (and really, there isn't much better data available to the average person) is an indication we're not being careful.

In the very few occasions that I've seen a queue backed by a Postgres table, when a job was taken, its row in the database was locked for the entire processing. If the job was finished, a status column was updated so the job won't be taken again in the future. If it wasn't, maybe because the consumer died, the transaction would eventually be rolled back, leaving the row unlocked for another consumer to take it. But the author may have implemented this differently.
He’s just a rich kid pulling the legs off an ant.

I actually find it perverse.
Yeah, my first thought was curiosity about their volume needs. DB based queues are fine if you don't need more than a few messages a second of transport. For that matter, I've found Azure's Storage Queues probably the simplest and most reliable easy button for queues that don't need a lot of complexity. Once you need more than that, it gets... complicated.

Also, sharing queues for multiple types of jobs just feels like frustration waiting to happen.

I haven't used pulp so I am not sure but yes in theory. Several schemes are currently supported via URIs (pypi://, git://, http(s):// etc...) so if the destination to scan can be formatted as one of the already supported URI schemes then you can already scan it. URI providers are also using plugin architecture so adding a new one for better integration with pulp (such as autodiscovering packages) should be trivial.
Thank you for the suggestion, the pulp project looks interesting and I would definitely check it out!
I mean yeah I can see that, but geez, clubs have bouncers and banks have guards. This isn't too far away from that.
Do you have something substantive? IE, evidence that there is a systemic, large-scale policy being applied? Anyway, it looks like they outsource their fact checking and applied a fact check. The fact check is extensively documented here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/07/03/fac...

I'm a bit tired of the "aggrieved people claiming censorship" over small potatoes that often turns out to be "the company applied their policy uniformly"
And most of them wiiiiiiildly expensive.

Edit: Nor are a lot of these issues limited to SF. We had a large encampment set up shop right outside our property line, right next to downtown Milpitas a few years back. It grew and grew for over a year, and nothing was done about it until they decided to dig down and cut into a water main that was connected to our warehouse for their own personal use.
In my communities, niche though they are, most people have shifted to masto and have been crossposting to twitter. The replies on masto in general seem more engaged and thoughtful.

Discoverability there is, of course, harder. At least initially, but just like twitter once I see someone making interesting replies, or someone in my follows boosts them, I tend to follow them faster (and drop them faster if their smart reply was a fluke).
The situations you are describing are essentially war time or marshal law style events. Under those circumstances almost all laws are either suspended or unable to be enforced and essentially the fabric of society is already severed.

The same "arguments" could be made by replacing the word "steal" with "murder" and I would still have the same position and principles, because I also do not condone murder even if the person being murdered is someone I despise.
Dude, you don't need high tech to slaughter the innocent, any fool can do that. What gold-plated weapons systems do is credibly deter a Chinese landing force from showing up in Taipei, or help the Ukranians achieve the 5+ K/D ratios they need to survive as an independent nation.

I'd be happier to know that my code would let a shaped charge target a J20 cockpit in the unlikely event of Really Bad Decision Making, than to know that it was targeting teenage girls with contagious mental illness.

On the other hand, I can give you plenty of reasons not to work in defense. They don't pay enough for you to ever own a house in a desirable place; security clearances are an invasive relic of the J. Edgar Hoover days (and your sensitive data will get hacked by China anyway); it's assumed that you don't know "foreign persons" (hint: This is actually now a mark of the lower-class and uneducated.); a software engineer without an advanced degree is basically nobody; cloud stuff is mostly off limits; work may happen in windowless rooms; perks are non-existent; and it's embarrassing to answer "so what do you do for a living" if you're trying to exist in blue-state society.

But ethics? Compared to FAANG? I wouldn't worry about that.
Flagship stores (which TFA describes this store as) often run at a loss, because the visibility in a highly-trafficked, prestigious area is worth it. That math changes drastically if you have to account for the potential PR headache that this particular location brings.
> Couldn't Whole Foods hire armed security to dissuade theft?

That seems rather “off brand”, and in any event while we could begin outsourcing public safety to corporations, and we probably will, I don’t think that story ends well for anyone.
Walmart also announced they are closing 4 locations in downtown Chicago due to profitability issues related to crime. Choosing not to prosecute criminals and releasing those that are caught immediately only emboldens and worsens crime. This country needs to crack down on crime swiftly and harshly until order returns.

I break down the feature/story into several tasks and label them as A) backend or B) frontend (occasionally there is only 1 or the other but usually there will be at least 1 task for backend and 1 for frontend).
Link those tasks back to the master feature /story item. It will be marked done only when all the associated tasks are finished.

Then do those tasks separately, usually the backend first, and then pass it/assign the frontend task.
The backend task is only considered finished when there are passing tests written with the frontend consumer (developer) in mind, proving they are provided with everything they will need.
Document the API in a way/place a frontend developer can knows and understands.

If you write the requirements for the tasks very clearly, the whole process could go smoothly without a lot of back and forth between the backend and frontend developer.
But sometimes there are things that weren't foreseen and so there could be a bit more to go back and do on the backend.

More often than not there are folks that are better at/hired for backend or frontend, so only assign the appropriate tasks to each of them.
Sometimes there are full stack developers/solo developers who can do both. In that case I still follow this approach.
