I grappled with this question since 2020 and my final determination is that I am too culturally different than my coworkers to continue in tech. “RTO” is not “return to before” it is just causing resentment, and I have to Skype my coworkers who have different office days anyway, so worst of both worlds. There is a large difference between going to a place to work on computers and going to a computer to work.

I know I am not the only person like this, my sister and father have had similar difficulties. And while most of my pre-pandemic programmer friends are still in tech, I see the changes in their demeanor. The hesitance to socialize. The lack of anything to talk about since nothing has actually happened to them since we last talked.

The people handling this the best are those younger children in the exburbs, who get to spend time with their kids in their beautiful (?) house. Even there though, I see some people using their kids as emotional support animals and isolating their children (who don’t know any different).

Now I work at an upscale cafe making 1/4 what I was before and I’ve never been happier. I feel like I’m a part of the fabric of my city instead of a leech. I see regular people again.

Life is too short (for me) to be a computer toucher. Then again I’ve spent most of my life going against the grain.
Still keeping the engaged users though. Such users will see ads on other videos.

So they’re still making profits off someone else’s work (without retribution)
YT most certainly runs ads against demonetized content. They just don't share in the take with the creator. What a principled stance... "I will make even more money because you did something bad somewhere else!"
Looks like the hardcover and the ebook updated but not the paperback edition.

If I understood the example, Java had this same problem. I'm wondering if C# does as well.
It was summer, and it wasn't a nice one. But NYC seemed fine in terms of weather for me.

But I really didn't like the culture, the roads, the housing, the way people drove. I'm just not suited for east coast life.
This looks like it could be very helpful. One question, how is it different than what was announced by the Reserve Bank of India earlier this year? [1]

Then again, EVs often use regenerative breaking (“one pedal driving”). I have made it a habit to engage this as often as possible, avoiding to use the brakes. I wonder if this results in fewer sharp stops and is easier on the tyres.

What car owners (EV or otherwise) can do to relieve their conscience is to use tyres with the smallest possible dimensions. This should reduce the amount of particle emissions from tyre abrasions. As a plus, smaller tyres are also cheaper, lighter and increase the range.

The principal problem of hazardous chemicals in tyres and non-degradable micro abrasions appears solvable to me. Probably comes down to regulatory intervention and cost and not so much to an insurmountable chemistry challenge.
I don't know much about Go but the design seems very intuitive to me. You're doing something like (let ((i variable)) (loop (setf i ...) ...body)), which if there is a closure in the loop body will capture the variable i and also subsequent mutations.

The fix is to make a new variable for each iteration, which is less obvious implementation wise but as per the post works better if you're enclosing over the loop variable.
I think you make a mistake if you assume that misanthropy is necessarily about all other humans except oneself.

Of course no one wants to be “dealt with” personally. And it in any case is a completely hypothetical position to take, except for those kooks that either believe in the coming AI Takeover or extraterrestrial invaders.
That's sadly dismissive of an actual problem. In matters of sex crimes, men are effectively assumed guilty until proven otherwise, and even if they're eventually found innocent they get their lives destroyed. The bar is much, much higher for female rape to be considered realistic.
Reverting to 1 billion people would be good if the age distribution doesn't change. Because there would be more capital per worker leading to increased productivity and higher wages.

However, if it means a higher proportion of old people, the working population will need to give a greater portion of their wages to them.
But isn't it completely wild that the `for (let i =`... version works like that? What does the loop 'desugar' into if written as a while-loop?
Watch out. There used to be another Hydra project, a data repository with rich linked metadata, that changed its name after legal threat over trademark from Hydra Corporation. Now it's called Hyku, https://hyku.samvera.org/

I hope you choose to defend your name.
This is true even among western languages.
For example, it’s basically impossible for any other western european speaker to say the Portuguese ão sound.

First thing I did in my company, which is mostly German, was to abbreviate my name, instead of having multiple people trying their hardest to call me singing I don’t care for, I chose his I’m called in that context.
Here's how we would do it in Norway

1. Problem is widely known. Everyone knows it sucks, and people in charge are starting to think "Maybe we should get that fixed"

2. The gov. hires McKinsey to get some strategic advice on the mater. They'll spend hundreds of thousands of NOK (1 NOK ≈ $0.093 / €0.087) , maybe even a couple of million, on the strategic consultants. They'll present the gov. with N different options, with the most obvious being number one - "Yeah fix that problem, here's our report to back that up"

3. Relevant gov. minister will order the correct department or directorate to start the project, whom in turn will take a glance at internal resources, before swiftly reaching out to Accenture, Capgemini, Sopra Steria, and similar IT-consulting firms.

4. The consultants start to work with the department/directorate, where months will be spent on gather specs, planning, project work, and all that. Regular team meetings, flying the consultants out to wherever the department/directorate is located.

5. Implementation starts, after 1-2 years. Depending on the consulting firm, a MVP is presented withing a couple of months.

6. After 2-3 year, the (still minimal) product is ready to be released to the public. Millions of NOK has been spent. The product is officially owned by some product owner in the IT department of the directorate.

7. The consulting firm will work on the project for 5 years, until the contract is either renewed, or some other consulting firm wins the new bid.

8. After 10 years or so, the product is probably completely absorbed by some larger IT-project or portal, designed to consolidate products.

In the end, tens and tens of consultants have worked on the single-page form.
Cry me a river. As a disillusioned beneficiary of White male supremacy, and a person who values diversity in culture and perspective (there is so much I don't know or understand yet, if ever, but the journey is engaging and meaningful), it sounds like you are whining.

However. I care about everyone's problems, especially those who are unfairly oppressed (rather than just feeling unfairly oppressed because they've lost a fraction of the excess power they once enjoyed). I wholeheartedly agree that we collectively need to consider how best to help men find a sense of purpose, even if it stings a little bit given all the harm we men have caused. It is not weakness to admit that, by the way. It feels weaker to ignore it, and to not champion dismantling the Patriarchy towards an equitable balance of power.

Patriarchy

noun
pa· tri· ar· chy | \ ˈpā-trē-ˌär-kē \
plural pa tri ar chies

Definition
1 : social organization marked by the supremacy of the father in the clan or family, the legal dependence of wives and children, and the reckoning of descent and inheritance in the male line
broadly : control by men of a disproportionately large share of power
2 : a society or institution organized according to the principles or practices of patriarchy
//For 20 years the country was ruled as a patriarchy.
It is almost impossible to discuss, but because of this a peaceful solution may not be possible.
Symmetric fibre internet exists in many European countries, and is readily available to a large bulk of citizens in those countries already. I pay $25pm for 500Mbps symmetric today.

I can’t fly to another planet and terraform it. I can (and do) host my own video streams however.

The current state of understanding of microplastics is far too inadequate for there to be any useful lab testing available to consumers.

For example TFA talks about 6PPD-q which is acutely toxic to fish, but "no one has studied the impact of 6PPD-q on human health." So we don't know if you should worry about that one. What we do know is that toxicity for aquatic animals is extremely different from toxicity in mammals. Soap, for example, is very toxic to fish.

Another example that caught my eye: in one sentence there is a claim that 3.5 trillion tire microparticles are washed into the SF Bay per year. Then a couple of sentences later, there is a claim that a car emits 1 trillion microparticles per kilometer driven. So the cumulative distance driven across everyone in the Bay Area is around 2 miles per year??

When two different estimates disagree by nine orders of magnitude, you're either doing astronomy or you're doing something very wrong.

Unfortunately the field of microplastics research is filled with work that is not just overly sensationalist, but that is very clearly wrong if you do a little napkin math. And almost without exception, the people involved are just plain bad at chemistry. I mean basic stuff like not understanding that a monomer has very different properties from the corresponding polymer. SMH.

Edit:
For soil specifically, there has been ample research showing that burying large amounts of tires in the ground is safe:

"There is no evidence that tyre bales embedded in the ground represent a real or potential source of pollution, or pose a threat that water and soil quality in the vicinity will deteriorate."

I thought it would be pretty obvious that one should look for biographical data from external, independent sources. If the person has earned a reputation in any industry, they'll probably have articles on respectable publishers, would have presented in conferences, maybe even have patents, etc. Just Google their name. Then Google what's associated with them. If one doesn't find anything solid, discard the book. It takes no more than 5-10 minutes to recognize a solid reputation like that.
It stayed where it belonged--out of conversations on the social consequences of rape allegations.
I've wondered how feasible it would be to do something like this to have a website that could only be accessed when a client is within a certain physical proximity of the host. Could make for a fun CTF!
Or walk, cycle, use car pooling or public transport. Move closer to where you work, if that’s an option.

This looks interesting, but there are some questions I still have after reading your website. Perhaps you could clarify, please? Your website says:

> Verify yourself at any one of our partner branches across India

How do I find out if there's a branch nearby without downloading your app and committing to an unknown amount of effort? I couldn't find a list of your branches anywhere, but it looks like it would be a showstopper if there isn't one available. It's as if you're being evasive about how widespread your coverage is. Why should I invest my time if it seems likely that you won't have a branch where I need it, and therefore I won't be able to use your services at all?

For example: do you have a presence in the arrivals areas at major airports? If so, which ones?

In fact, it seems that your call to action is to download your app. But why would I bother to do that if I know I won't get anywhere without visiting a branch to get approval first? Assuming you have no choice about in-person documentation checks, it would make more sense for you to send prospective customers to their nearest branch, have their documents checked and approved there, and to provide wifi at every branch so that they can get the app up and running quickly - for example with a QR code or something generated by your staff when documentation is approved and an account created. Being asked to set up the app first, when we know we will be blocked on a visit to a branch, seems backwards.

Your FAQ says:

> Your passport and Indian VISA are required to open a tourist wallet

What about OCI holders? Are your branch staff going to be familiar with this case, or will it be a waste of time to show up with one?

> You can add funds to your tourist wallet via an instant payment gateway.

This is a non-answer. Is this through the app? Through the website? Through something else not specified? Are there any criteria that must be met? Or do you support adding funds immediately via credit card without any further review steps apart from the usual payment flow expected when buying anything else online? Because that's what I'd like, and this answer makes me doubt that this is what you mean.
Me too. We have around a dozen go services and I have maybe used or seen interface{} once or twice for a hack. Especially after generics. I think the parent comment is suffering from poor quality go code. It’s like complaining about typescript because things in your codebase don’t have types
Maybe on a societal level. But not as an innate thing to humans. In fact this “greed is inevitable” line of thinking is one of the justifications for our current system.
The std library is a big part of the magic. It’s so shocking to go to JS land and see that there are 10 different 3rd party libraries to make http requests, all with wildly different ergonomics all within one code base due to cross dependency heck.

In Go there’s pretty much only the http package, and any 3rd party packages extend it and have the same ergonomics.

For a while my biggest gripe was package management but it’s a dream where we are now.
Somewhat tangential: Can you imaging having to come up with a price point involving the planned destruction of millions, if not billions of dollars of assets every few years?

So I studied a bit of ecology at a university level and biosphere integrity likely refers to retaining the ecological systems on the planet. For example, forests can influence the weather/climate. Deserts are growing in size, which is a terrifying prospect for farmers. When you strip off the topsoil of the meadow for farmland, you get the great dust bowl of the usa which caused mass migration and poverty. This isn’t to mean the basic “this is neat” of having so many well adapted creatures and plants of all unique shapes and sizes populating the earth in various places.
And it’s total capture of every political system on Earth.
With the purchase of Twitter and running it around, I assume his business partners are gonna do a lot of scrutiny themselves.
Small nit: YouTube has to adhere to it’s Terms of Service and any other “click to agree” policies. However, those documents and policies are incredibly broad like you mentioned.
It's possible for there to be far fewer humans without needing to kill anyone. So depopulation can be an ethical strategy, except that you'd need to influence human reproduction.
What games?

The last one, Starfield, was undercooked on all fronts: narrative, gameplay and technologically.

Halo was a huge disappointment.

So that leaves Forza and Flight Sim.

A track record like that in any other situation would get you a one way trip to the unemployment office.
It's perhaps telling that NSA has been rather aggressively against the use of hybrid systems, even though they have almost no marginal cost (an extra 56 bytes on top of 1.2kb of PQ exchange) and are the obvious move esp while the PQ systems are very new.
It is crazy but they do indeed run ads, even on demonetized videos.
Everybody here HN know how to write but not everybody submit quality posts/comments that get thousands of upvotes. The same dynamics will apply to a society where everybody can code. The prize for being in the % top coders will only increase.
Yes, I don't disagree. It's just that most of the people that I know that have multiple partners are only on prep if those partners are seeing untested other folks.

Said differently, those I know on prep are taking it because they cannot account for the extent of the sexual network of their partners. Those that aren't on prep have multiple partners, but they all test and have complete information on the status of everyone involved in the sexual network graph.

I see it as a good choice if you cannot attest for accurate, recent results of every possible connection in your sexual network.
America is way too close to Taiwan with their bases in the ryukyus. They aren't technically in Taiwan, but any attack will involve them pretty quickly. Likewise, America stationed troops on the border of ROK and DPRK to act as a deadman switch. Those troops are quickly toast if any fighting breaks out, but it would ensure America's involvement in the successive war to come. Anyways, the USA's involvement in a war with China or North Korea via Taiwan or ROK is pretty much guaranteed.
I always wondered if the rise of ds&a/leetcode style interviews often hurt these companies more than helped? You are definitely screening for a certain type of engineer when hiring this way, especially when you want to hire 10,000 of them.

You're basically filtering people who care more about optimizing their career than wanting to make a good product (nothing wrong with putting your career first, but you can't have the entire company made up of these people), but then again all the incentives at these companies reward short term thinking so it's probably beyond the interview level.

Either way there needs to be way more competition in the entire tech space in all sectors. Competition would solve a lot of these issues if Google was forced to break up Chrome, Search, Ads, Android, and YouTube; same for the other big tech co's too. This amount of consolidation is bad for everyone.

Very much so. It is used to make one's own arguments stronger. "Thank you for listening to the community" actually means "Thank you for listening to me".

You say that like you didn’t just stop at two games.

To the degree the the implementers are also users they carry their implementer understanding into their use. Dogfooding doesn't help when your understanding doesn't match that of your users.
Any impact isn't going to happen on the individual pickpocket level. It would be by making the industry unprofitable.

Richard Nixon would like a word. As would Anthony Weiner, Roy Moore, John Edwards, and a few others.

Have often != are always.

I'm pointing out the long-term existence of a common second standard, not its consistent application.

It seems you have some big feelings you should confront, to compare YouTube demonetization to historical racial violence
There is no such thing as “enough” studies, more data is always needed to support a claim. Which is all this is, a theoretical boundary decided using studies, not some intrinsic law of reality. That’s not even going into whether those are quality studies or not.
It's not about the tech. Plenty of people could have built Twitter from scratch, but Musk had to pay over $40B to have Twitter and no one came around to offer him to build a Twitter for $39B.
Sweet! I've been monkeying around with writing an HFS interpreter (in rust ofc). Unfortunately 'fuser' is less than ideal on a Mac. This could be an interesting alternative.

Edit: Oh. It's async. The other bit that I liked from fuser: the default implementations in the trait cut down on the boiler plate. Setting the RO mount option got you defaults that DTRT.
Can other humans convince others to destroy the world, we still alive? There are limits to how much convincing can do, it have to resort to physically doing it and is possible if we hook it up to every nook and cranny, slim chance. I do see it could make a mess if the AI goes haywire, example controlling shipping logistics

I agree in general, but in this case the company has nothing to protect from. The matter doesn't relate to them in any way.

Depending on what "original" you played, it may have had the expansions bundled together - Heroes 3 complete came out in 2000.

Features added in expansions:

* Conflux

* Can choose to buy unupgraded creatures from an upgraded dwelling

* Can garrison mines

* New Heros

* Combination Artifacts

* Random Map generator

* Magical terrains

The Random Map generator is the biggest one, likely.
It's worse than that: if enough people cheat, even the best people can't make the grade without cheating.
YouTube is a massive platform and inherently has power. People used the exact same argument for Twitter but I don’t think you can deny that arbitrary management choices made a huge difference in how it worked, which had substantial impacts that a private company shouldn’t have.

> So why assume that the only reason people in general would do morally wrong things is because they need to to feed their family?

I don't think anyone has ever made that claim, but people do tend to do what's easy/convenient and it's a lot easier and more convenient to put in 8 hours in a safe climate-controlled office where you get medical benefits and a salary you can depend on than it is to go out every night mugging people or trying to pick pockets, then trying to figure out how to sell your stolen goods, all without getting killed, robbed yourself, or caught by police.

Most people need to make money somehow and nobody is picking the most dangerous, risky, effort intensive means to make that money when they have other options readily available.

The harder it is for someone to make money doing anything other than commit crimes the more likely they will be to commit crime and for some people (those with few resources, and addictions and/or past criminal records for example) it can be very very hard to get and maintain legitimate employment.
Well, there are only two parties.

It is just a curiosity how the 'business' side with money, has convinced the poor Christians that Jesus was for free-markets and guns. How do they do it? Is it all marketing and posturing? Why are US Christians so un-Christian and so easily fooled?
