The ROI on content creation and commenting is phenomenal. Anyone with an agenda to push would be dumb to leave that on the table.

The barriers to entry for social media are inconsequential compared to mass media. And to boot, contrived social media disputes are often picked up by mass media who are all to happy to present your side as one of two legitimate positions. You can absolutely garner wide reach with a modicum of effort.

One of the most powerful tools in the arsenal isn't telling people what to believe; it's teaching them how to believe. One or two strong attractors in hermenutical space can be all it takes to give people the ability to perform the type of self-story and current event exegesis that you want them to. From there, it's a self-reinforcing loop. Dropping an interpretative device that makes people feel smart is one of the easiest ways to get your method of belief-construction to dominate.
I also just feel weird about "remote countries" as a term. No particular country is defined by being "remote" (except maybe oceanic island nations), just like no person can be a "diverse individual".

If you're authorized to access the data, it's not infringement. Again, this is if you're using zoom to stream Disney movies or whatever, and Disney decides to sue you and zoom. If you're screensharing confidential company documents you're authorized to view, this will certainly not apply to you. If for whatever reason your company is getting you to screenshare third party documents that you're not authorized to view (eg. confidential documents from a competitor), you should really reconsider who you're working for.
I have one (i7-6700T, 32GB RAM) that cost me about $250. Runs proxmox. A few VMs for trying new BSD/linux releases, Plan 9, etc. A Windows VM. A minecraft server. A couple dev/test servers. I have another small PC next to it running stuff like Plex and webhosting that I'd like to containerize and move to a VM on proxmox.

For more standardized speed benchmarking, I'd recommend benchmarking with something like `-c 128 -n 1920 --ignore-eos` (and skipping the `-p` entirely). The number that you care most about would be the "eval time" tokens/second - it tends to get slower as context increases, which is why it's sort of important to standardize. I think 2-3 t/s is about what's expected (Threadripper Pro 5000 w/ 8 channels of DDR-3200 should have an expected theoretical top memory bandwidth of 204.8 GB/s - memory bandwidth is the main limiting factor for most systems for LLM inferencing).
Kinda fascinating, it almost surgically removes the entire human interest angle which is the soul of the story that makes it land so strongly. This summary is flat and boring, like a summary of a quarterly SEC filing.
Each of these requires me to trust another developer and to renew that trust every time there's an update (which there are a bunch of since Apple actively hates backwards compatibility and requires updates for things to keep working all the time). It requires me to research different options and evaluate which fit my needs, which are likely to continue to be maintained, which are trustworthy, and so on.

It also requires me to be able to install arbitrary software on my Mac, which has not been the case at most employers I've worked for.

Writing a recursive descent parser in Bash
It's pretty obvious for anyone who has traveled and driven in other countries that drivers in the US are utterly terrible. We have effectively no licensing standards, and effectively no enforcement of basic safe driving practices. The only thing that's generally enforced in the US is speed limits, and this is only done for revenue purposes, especially since most speed limits in the US are set artificially low to help local authorities meet their budget.

It's both possible that the US is uniquely worse and that the same sort of unfair and senseless outcomes are not only possible but happen in other countries. The fact the US is worse doesn't actually change the point of the person you're responding to.

I could write a much better indictment of driving in the US than pointing to a single random occurrence and actually talk about the completely fucked way people drive here on a daily basis. That said, the same basic reason why things are the way they are won't change for the outcome of my screed, as it is a simple matter that the US is so heavily car-centric as a society that it is impossible for the average person to participate in daily life without driving and therefore it's seen as unnecessarily punitive to restrict people's driving privileges except in the most egregious circumstances (and often not even then). We'd have to massively change the attitude towards cars in the US to effectively change anything about our current situation to make it possible to enforce reasonable standards of driving skill.

This is a well known effect and there have been a number of attempts to address it.

Slashdot went through a number of iterations. They initially added a points system and ended up adding a meta-moderation layer to try to address biases in the previous layers. https://slashdot.org/faq/mod-metamod.shtml

Reddit lets viewers choose from a number of sort algorithms that allow them to emphasize posts other than those most heavily upvoted.

Lemmy uses a log scale to try to bring more voices to a conversation after the initial "New" votes come in. https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.htm...

They're all trying to address the issue by offering sort orders which should show the "best" posts at the top.
The fundamental problem with all of these is that they assume that everyone agrees on what is "best" and that small set of sort options will allow the majority of people to choose one which matches their ranking of "best".

We've also seen several large companies provide "algorithms" which provide customized ranking lists for individuals. The glaring problem with these approaches is that they rank by what is "best" for the company, not for the individual.

We've been missing is a way for people to choose sort lists that reflect their own views of what is "best". Otherwise the best we'll be able to get is some sort order that some plurality agrees on, even if that plurality isn't even a majority.

It seems they don't have all the books that are on MIT open access. I can't find "The Art of Prolog"[1], for example. But maybe they are downloading only the ones with the "free" tag like "Turtle Geometry"[2] (Last time I looked at this one it was one pdf for each chapter).

From my experience hiring, both full-time employees and contractors can not care; it felt more about the individual's character than their employment status.
> A number of commercial open source repos already use us

Worth acknowledging that GitStart has, at least in the past, submitted PRs to open source projects unsolicited in an attempt to bolster their reputation.

We found their PRs to be of extremely rough quality - exactly what you would expect from junior offshore developers - and it took up a non-trivial amount of our time to deal with the contributions and get them into a state where they could be merged. We would also often find 10+ email addresses associated with a single one-line change commit, which I found quite odd.

While I/we encourage contributions from developers of all levels, it felt super iffy that we were investing in coaching the junior developers of the YC/VC-backed startup, only for them to use us for cred.

In the end I believe we blocked GitStart from our repo.
Similarly I've never bothered to upgrade from my from old i7-2600k gaming build from 2011, and will likely use it for many years to come.

This reminds me of a time I was working for a company that motorola contracted, they sent us a system to install some software on, but forgot to set the root password to something shared with us.

When told, they said 'sigh you'll have to ship it back to us so we can passwd it, then ship it back, even though our passwords are system specific and changed frequently - telling you the password would expose our password choice algorithm'

I vividly remember Muslims in my team coming to concerned for their families when the trump travel ban began. They were confused why they were being singled out and worried about being persecuted at work and school. I couldn’t explain because I honestly never understood, but I could assure them I wouldn’t stand for any such thing at work and assure them I didn’t sympathize with the politics, and I would be their advocate if they needed it. I expressed hope that schools wouldn’t stand for it either and advised them to also reach out to their guidance counselors at school to be sure they were aware of their concerns.

Whether these are issues manufactured or not, they translate into real fears that play out across many people, in profound ways. It’s important to be engaged to protect people in fear, whether you share their backgrounds or beliefs - because we all can share an understanding of fear, and hopefully none of us wish it on others.

Well, like anything people's mindsets are relative to the situation. Most Canadians cannot possibly imagine what Ukrainians are going through. If we could, we would probably be a lot happier with the situation we have here.

But that doesn't change the fact that Canadian democracy is under a lot of pressure with polarization and influence by wealthy special interests. We would be a lot better off if we had a better electoral system and were able to move toward more Scandinavian-style social systems.

Even if google maps is right, it isn't helpful to how people ride transit. Do you want to ride the 4 or 9 or 99? It doesn't matter, all of them go to where I'm going, but I have to choose when really I should just go to the stop and catch the first bus. This is a real situation for me where I selected the 4, but it turns out that it went by half a block before I reached the stop, and google maps got mad when I got on the 9 even though they both go exactly the same place (by a somewhat different route in between that didn't matter)

I haven't found city specific transit apps any more helpful, but I don't have much experience with them. google maps sucks is terrible for the job though.
Yeah, it feels like you're trolling me. White vote, vs white men, is clearly different. America is a majority white country so obviously most votes will come from white people. Saying Bernie's support comes mostly from white men, as was claimed by the post I was referring to and the Bernie Bro narrative, is false.
you weren't able to do so, since "X is ridiculous to deny" is orthogonal to "there exist people who deny X", and the latter is the tangent deflected to. Like I said, anyone actually spending ten seconds researching the topic in good faith would discover that both round-earth denialists and climate-change denialists exist in real life, no matter how ridiculous their beliefs

anyhow, back on topic: the proposed alternative just doesn't seem better than the status quo, no matter how you've sliced it so far, for the reasons given in my original post and ignored by you
Rust’s main feature is pre-negotiation of all disputes. You do all of the fighting at design time. Which is a very big difference for new developers.

> It's a distinction without a difference to identify them as isolates.

What are you talking about? They have a distinct address space per thread. The threads can only talk to each other via messages. Which require JSON parse and stringify rounds (meaning you can’t avoid event stalls on large JSON messages) They cannot share state. Those are not threads. They’re isolates.

It would be great if Linux had some automatic checkpoints so you can revert to a working system after an update. So many times updates leave a broken system and re-install Ubuntu from scratch is quicker than fixing the problem.
Interesting, the way other games have dealt with this problem, is a wait option. you roll to move first, decide to wait, now everyone with lower initiative must move before you do. It’s a version of first in last out, if everyone waits, the last to wait must move first. Sort of an elegant solution to part of this problem. Other games might also have a generic guard move. Move+guard and you attack first thing to come in range

I don't know you in person, but I'm reacting based on you going around and saying asinine things, which I've already discussed. And that's what the remark is about. Saying "you'll never interact with him" is especially absurd, as you're in the same boat. And no, I have interacted with him. He ruined a service I liked and used, and no longer do so.
It is unfortunate that people recommended Ubuntu as a starting distro for so long.

It does too much. It will update things for you, or give you a pop-up to tell you to update. Updates happen all at once, rather than a little at a time, so you get these big dramatic updates with combinatorial bug explosions. Maybe the repos will be gone if you don’t update in time. Maybe your favorite packages have moved from apt to snap. Good luck!

A rolling release distro like Arch would be a better first experience for most people I think.

Linux is not where Windows was years ago. Software gently rolls in at a nice steady rate. Some distros choose to take that nice steady flow, chop it up, and for some reason emulate the Windows catastrophic update experience. It is… an odd decision.
I'm surprised to hear that. In my recent experience in the NYC area, many places are cutting full time staff and augmenting with contractors.
I use some swap on servers because software leaks memory all the time and I’m cheap. Compressed swap can reduce a lot a cloud bill, and the performance impact of storing old unused memory pages on persistent storage is fine.

Worse. It's more than likely to cause a cache miss, and waiting on memory is going to be even slower than a mispredicted branch.

I expected to see a little bit about why it’s the most beautiful program ever written; the link to the primary source is a Meetup page, and the presentation was on “a Lisp interpreter written in Lisp---and a few of the many amazing ideas related to this metacircular interpreter”. That’s as much as I could glean.

Interesting? Sure. Due to the abstract nature of software, there are many dimensions on which a program’s beauty could be evaluated. It’s unclear to me that there can even be one “most beautiful” program above all others.

Personally, though, I’d go for something that solves some concrete human problem, with code a layman could understand that is simply well factored and formatted, and contains at least one ascii diagram in a comment block.
That one is about employees that were vesting before the company went public, but other outrageous paychecks: because this is how leadership teams are paid, and their contracts often include a year of salary if they leave the company.
> "Do work, but get paid only if we use it" feels potentially exploitative. You do mention a "base pay" rate but I wonder how it compares to the "merged PR" rate?

90% of compensation for devs is base and does not depend on the “merge PR” rate (which is in-fact 95%)

> * Code quality and adherence to internal code standards is challenging for external contributions

Majority of our customers are in-fact private and not OSS. We can unfortunately only share the latter. But it is targeted towards engineering teams that have already started to invest into DevEx and building tooling to make contribution easier
We do help to set that up if customers sign up on the Team or Enterprise plan as a first sprint to add all these guardrails in place.

I agree that junior devs today are heavily exploited by existing freelance and outsourcing platforms where it's a race to the cheapest contractor in the market. For teams who want to freelance, we are not a good fit (and most likely more expensive). Where we do shine is an in-house team that does not have the bandwidth to hand-hold each external contractor one by one to become productive. And with that focus, our devs get to enjoy a fixed base stipend, career ladder internally to grow and successfully joining our customers and / or larger corps like Meta, Google and so on
I am glad you found it useful; your appreciation is much appreciated :-)

The point of my post was that studying Dijkstra is essential even if we cannot follow his methods to the letter. The key is to improve our own thinking and adopt better and more productive work-habits.

You might also want to checkout Dijkstra's A Method of Programming and Wirth's Systematic Programming: An Introduction.
The xkcd method is a truly random string with 44 bits in the example (4 words each chosen from a 2k dictionary). There is no better way to crack it than brute force. The words are just a rendering of a 44 bit random number. You could also render it as 44 digit binary number or an 11 digit decimal number or as an 8 digit base 64 string. It doesn't matter; it's still a 44 bit number and requires exactly as much work to crack.
Just create a test user.
> And my experience is that AVIF falls down at that, it does not really save bits compared to JPEG and WEBP at high quality.

In all the comparisons I've seen, it's not even a contest.

"I picked this image because it's a photo with a mixture of low frequency detail (the road) and high frequency detail (parts of the car livery). Also, there are some pretty sharp changes of colour between the red and blue. And I like F1.

Roughly speaking, at an acceptable quality, the WebP is almost half the size of JPEG, and AVIF is under half the size of WebP. I find it incredible that AVIF can do a good job of the image in just 18 kB."

https://jakearchibald.com/2020/avif-has-landed/

It'd be interesting to see file size comparisons of AVIF lossless images vs. JPEG's "almost lossless" 100% compression, but I haven't run across any yet.
Technically, the problem is solved by either one. A service like 1password is in the business of not serving you up a corrupt database. A backup solution also works here if you don't want to rely on other services.
