Dang, respectfully, you should ask him what he means by it because I honestly read it differently.

I think he is calling the well wishing weird/phony as most people here are irreligious / not muslims / haven't had a clue about Eid Mubarak until yesterday.

Anyway, I can't be sure either but my point is it absolutely would not have occurred to me until you said it. Caveat: English is not my first language but obviously is a bit far fetched.
I've done this, and it's always worked out well for me. My past three jobs received a 1 month notice. The one before that, I told the hiring manager up front that I'd work for them for exactly 1 year.

Most of the comments here are against this, many saying they were prematurely removed, some immediately. Perhaps it is different for FAANG and other SV companies typical of HN?

Possible reasons why my experience has been different:

- I've never worked in a role that is easily replaceable. I've worked mostly consulting for the past decade. The industry has a lot of hiring friction, like extensive background checks, making it hard to give up and replace quality workers. In most cases, even my long notices did not give the employers enough time to find a replacement for me to train.

- My direct supervisors, managers above them, and myself, have always shared mutual respect - even when they are difficult people. We all also understand our compensation is mostly related to what customers are paying, so there is no expectation that our salaries can be magically increased.

Granted, I did leave one employer over a decade ago with just a day's notice. The company had a lot of problems and hadn't paid me for a few months already, so quitting was well overdue.
Yep. Releasing, testing, debugging, etc are all more difficult in stored procs than in a “regular” language. Stored procs have other down sides:

- often unique to that DB, so locks you in
- Scaling that code is now tied to scaling your DB tier
- Tooling is often very inadequate
- Versioning and backwards compatibility of code can be a challenge
I find myself consistently disappointed when reading blog posts like this. I generally agree with the principles that the EFF advocates for, but it's hard to see this post as anything other than rage-bait. I can't trust it to be an accurate source of information on what this bill actually does.

For example, I've repeatedly seen claims that this bill would effectively outlaw end-to-end encryption, but the bill explicitly protects companies that offer encryption from liability.

>None of the following actions or circumstances shall serve as an independent basis for liability of a provider of an interactive computer service for a claim or charge described in that paragraph:

>(i) The provider utilizes full end-to-end encrypted messaging services, device encryption, or other encryption services.

>(ii) The provider does not possess the information necessary to decrypt a communication.

>(iii) The provider fails to take an action that would otherwise undermine the ability of the provider to offer full end-to-end encrypted messaging services, device encryption, or other encryption services"

When I look to the EFF for an explanation about why this language isn't sufficient, I get this:

>The bill clearly leaves room to impose forms of "client-side scanning"

Going back to the bill, the phrase "client-side scanning" doesn't appear anywhere in the text despite the EFF implying that they're quoting from the bill. If they're not quoting from the bill then what exactly are they quoting from? This is the kind of thing that makes me unable to trust them to be accurate, which makes posts like this effectively useless to me since I feel the need to independently verify all of their claims.
I feel this advice ignores the most common scenarios in which one would need to give notice in the first place.

If you want to a make a move, you interview, see if you get the position, then give notice. You're not going to want to give notice before you know you get the position, and if you do get it, you're new future employer is unlikely to want to wait months.
This is only true if you accept an extremely myopic view of storytelling.

A Song of Ice and Fire is about the illegitimacy of the Lannisters' reign, the choice to execute Ned Stark for discovering it, and the ensuing civil wars. Ned Stark isn't a "fake protagonist" because he dies. He's a protagonist and he dies, and then the story continues. Not every story needs to be a Save The Cat Hollywood screenplay to be "correct," and not every character arc needs to be satisfyingly resolved.

You not getting Boss Baby vibes from Martin's writing doesn't mean he's done anything wrong.

This is a genuinely fascinating[0] problem that's become more impactful with the ease of spreading messages and the importance of public opinion. I see both sides of it in how I want to believe[1] that I know truthful facts (which I attempt to accomplish with what I believe[1] to be healthy skepticism) and how effortful it can be to (attempt to[1]) achieve that.

[0] It feels a little wrong to say "fascinating" given the gruesome methods by which some choose to hold on to their control of information. It is nonetheless something which often captures my attention.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_bias So many possibilities!
In Europe this was actually done in most countries because of the absurdly incredible damage the (even very limited) information governments had during WW2 did to millions of people. That illustrated that even extremely basic information, including merely a list of all citizens, was abused by governments. And not just for racist reasons, equally to force people into occupying forces (like Russia is doing now in Ukraine)

Today we're back to pointing to governments abusing data to target minority children or immigrants to show this. And of course, governments oppose any limiting of the scope of their data collection by pointing out "security issues" (we can't have CHILDREN communicate privately! Look! 3 out of 5 million children got seduced with drugs to go into prostitution!).

Of course, governments' collection of data is not even effective, the government GOT it's data collection wishes from 10 years ago that it said was going to use for prevention (police can now access both comments from teachers AND medical reports on any kid) ... and yet the number of children ... went up, not down.

And of course, nobody wants to point out that 3 out of 3 of those children ran away from government help first chance they got. Nobody seems to feel this might indicate that perhaps something is wrong with the government, and the government's reputation, that needs to be fixed first. They are of course arguing the solution to their reputation problem is to collect more information on EVERYONE, and use more violence against children for less and less reasons, where any small excuse can be found (because 3 children were actually confirmed to have this happen to them ... the government locked up over 300 children, generally against both their own and their parents wishes. Somehow this didn't make any difference in the numbers at all, and frankly I find it very, very hard to believe the number would have risen 100 TIMES without them doing this)
Remind me again how much the reviewers get paid.
You know, it's probably not that difficult for them to actually ask some of the organisations/people that will be affected by big changes how they would feel about it before they implement them.

Ideally you'd want to validate that the features you're implementing are features that people (or organisations) are going to like. Right? Is that crazy?

If we can't look at the evidence, then it's probably highly distorted. Especially if it's for 'national security' reasons -- the ultimate 'ends justify the means' context. No matter what nation we are talking about.
The moment you give your resignation, there are good odds your company will say "we accept your resignation effective immediately. Goodbye."

Genuine question; is this a US thing? I've never, ever seen this or heard of it happening. I don't think I've ever worked at a company that didn't state in the contract the notice period. I have seen companies decide they don't want that person on site anymore when someone quits, but they gave "gardening leave"; the person goes home and is effectively on holiday, paid as usual, for their notice period.

There is a significant chance you will be instantly fired with no income for months.

US "at will" kind of thing? Must be.

That seems like... a very good reason to learn how to swim, not a reason to quit. I'm making light of what sounds like a pretty serious situation, I guess, but that is my genuine reaction to your comment.
I wish there was some way to have this benefit without the restrictions. I moved to Android because I wanted to run apps that could do cool things but weren't kosher with Apple's rules. I know pretty well what I'm doing and the implications of my decision, so it's not protecting me from anything, it's just robbing me of freedom of choice. But I would never in 100 years sideload the Facebook app. I won't even install it from the Play store.

I highly applaud the recent Play store change now where it explicitly tells you what data can be accessed, how it will be used, if shared with third party, etc. It's helped me avoid some unknowns.

What about some sort of master switch you could flip that would filter out apps based on behavior? Like the default could be something like "App Store rules" but you could override and allow seeing/installing apps that do other things?

Eh, that wouldn't help with the people who want to use Tik Tok. If Tik Tok can tell them to "enable deep spying" to install the app, they probably will. Although, it would penalize them somewhat and it would make it clear to users what they're doing, so maybe it would help? Hard problem for sure.
Maybe that's the problem? The cost should be for submission not for publishing? Dropping the cost by a factor of 15 sounds game changing.
Her brain is pea soup. I'm pretty sure she is not capable of connecting things.
I think it would be better to make it clear that something is an assumption rather than stating it as fact, to not add to the noise. In the world of tech (and any R&D heavy group), initially running at a loss is the norm, not the exception.
Convenience of being able to use it on someone’s current machine.
As a professional developer you also have to appreciate the possibility that some competition will probably make AppStore a far better experience for developers, instead of a rather broken, restrictive and arbitrary one that we currently enjoy.
The entire promise of Uber and Lyft was profitability through scale.

But now, they all want to scale down to be profitable.

A small scale Uber or Lyft is just a cab company with an automated dispatch agent. It should be valued like a cab company, not a tech company.

They may survive, but it will be hard. A bug cut like this will destroy the morale in the company. What works in their favor is that the entire tech industry is cutting jobs right now and they don't look like an exception.

If the cuts are done well, they'll cut the most of the future projects and focus on a few key areas. Still it is a high risk for them and they may not survive.
Except all the man-hours that would be spent on trying basic things like animations in lists work.

> Despite some use in other programs, the use of XCF as a data interchange format is not recommended by the developers of GIMP, since the format reflects GIMP's internal data structures and there may be minor format changes in future versions. Instead, a collaborative effort between the developers of GIMP and Krita is underway to design a standardised raster file format called OpenRaster (modelled on the OpenDocument format) for future use in both applications, and likely in others also.
>> If multiple apps directly talk to the database where the domain logic is in the service layer, you will end up with code duplication and hard to trace bugs

This is more common than putting it in a service in my experience. I haven't seen it done in the database in a new application since the 90's.

As in, this is impossible to do statically in the general case - those names aren't guaranteed to look like that. See the note I had added about mount points. Remember C:\mnt can itself be the mount point of a volume instead of a drive letter. (Junctions present a similar problem, but at least for those, you can make an argument that they're intended to look like physical folders, and treat them similarly. With mount points, you might not have that intention - you might be just trying to go over 26 drive letters.)
There may be a free press, but when the majority of the (US) public gets it’s news from Fox, it doesn’t matter.

Nearly $800 million settlement over the lies they pushed about election fraud and nary a peep on their own network about their misdeeds.
IIRC it was discussed as closer to a 3x price jump (but don't quote me on that).
The ability to repress desires to focus on long term goals or to develop appreciate for the satiating of those desires is a good long term skill to have.

> If you have a captured criminal, they pose no threat to ~anyone and no threat to your society at large.

Is that true? Prisoners attack guards all the time. Prison guards actually have a statistically shortened lifespan as a result of stress presumably because of the danger. Prisoners can also attack other prisoners. A captured criminal could also be a famous or powerful person like Osama Bin Laden or a cartel boss and they could still run things from the prison or foment violence and revolution from supporters outside the prison.

I did my share of peer reviews. Mostly conferences, but that doesn't make a difference in this case: peer review doesn't pay. Those $6300 do not end up in the pockets of academics or institutes. Many journals even have a board of unpaid editors.
The biggest changes are to rendering. GTK 1-3 used Cairo to do CPU rendering. It is slow and incapable of modern rendering features. GTK4 makes good use of the GPU with OpenGL (and kinda Vulkan). It has been a huge win for performance improving animations, shaders, multimedia, zero-copy integration with external projects like WebKit, etc.

> as soon as sideloading is allowed, sideloading will become required by the most popular apps.

Android has always supported sideloading, yet in almost 10 years of using Android, I've never had to sideload any commercial app.

Anecdotally, Amazon has tried to push their app store for a while by incentivizing installs with free games and the like, but none of these weren't also available on the official Play Store. Nowadays, it's all free-to-play anyway, but that's a different topic.
> Chain and a lock in your garage

I've seen someone protect a Ferrari F40 in his garage by having a gigantic door security "trunk" on his garage door. Literally the size of a tree trunk.

Stealing the car required getting inside the garage, which was only accessible through a regular but armored door.

The owner's idea was that you couldn't use another car to destroy the garage's door as there was this huge metal "trunk" taking all the width of the garage, going through huge holes in concrete.

So you'd first need to open the armored door, then slide that gigantic metallic trunk. That trunk was so heavy is was on little wheels.

> Apple's leverage has given it de-facto regulatory power

Indeed. This is called "being an monopoly" and "using anti-competitive practices to control a market, in violation of anti monopoly laws".

Yes, anti competitive practices work.

Yes, being a monopoly works.

And yes, it has produced some good things like Apple's focus on privacy.

But it has also produced other very not good things, like the 30% Apple tax.

But, it is at least comforting that people are now saying the quiet part out loud, which is "yep, Apple had anti competitive market power the whole time, I just like monopolies".
Lyft was paying engineers 300-450k a year, sometimes with just 2-4 years of experience. This was true even pre 2020. The interviews were just leetcode hards, with an instant reject on not getting the problem right. I feel like a parrot repeating the same thing, but none of these companies hired the talent they thought they were hiring.

EDIT:

For reference I work at a company that requires leetcode medium/hard perfection and am appalled at the money we pay for the engineers relative to the value they bring

One more point: Startups are confused about the role engineers play. A completely divorced product management and engineering workforce will kill new ideas. Engineers actually building the product have insights into what else can be built that product does not. By hiring engineers with zero product sense and treating them like robots, you get no innovation. This doesnt matter at a behemoth like amazon or google, but it does at a smaller company. Clean syntax != good engineer
And both have large manufacturing presences in the US b/c it cuts costs. That's the incentive.
Buy a Tesla Model Y and you'll have just under 300.
Sounds very navie.

Many companies walk you out the door the moment you give notice. If anything you should give at MOST 2 weeks notice.

Nothing bad happens if you only give 1 week, or even if you just walk out.

Remember, they reserve the right to terminate you without cause at any time.
> See people, this is why free speech must be absolute.

No, it's why, in a lot of cases, free speech doesn't really work the way you think it works. Private interests have all kinds of ways to influence speech that don't require the threat of violence.
Nothing. Nice gotcha, bro. I never said reviewers get paid. I mean the internal machinery that needs to get 15 articles reviewed costs money - employees that search lists of potential reviewers for people with expertise in the relevant subfield, email the potential reviewers, wait for them to accept or reject a review request, coordinate the entire thing, etc. etc.
I would be curious to see the cost breakdown.
And their argument is a load of horseshit. The lowest common denominator will always be the lowest common denominator. They're using these hypothetical dummies as a scapegoat in order to ensure a monopoly on software distribution for their hardware.

>Do you think those in power would ever go out of their way to help people learn about gerrymandering, ranked choice voting

They tend to be more fine with this sort of thing if the fix isn't on the cards politically.

E.g. you will see some nuclear attacks on the idea of raising the minimum wage from the media when it is being debated in Congress, while that same media will often fawn over political pipe dreams like basic income.

The Russian bots will pull this trick where they set up, e.g. a facebook page for "proud Texan cowboy dads" and then funnel innocuous stuff they will agree with 99% of the time and then 1% of the time push stuff that really matters to them ("why are we sending yet more money to Ukraine when proud Texans at home are suffering!").

This isn't controversial to state. I think it's clear that they do this - what is controversial to state is that this is exactly what the rest of the "legitimate" media does exactly the same thing on behalf of the oligarchy who own it.
On the plus side, she's incapable of voting at the moment.
