Uber has so much $ from VC that this is peanuts, so it's not a priority. Eventually they noticed the theft and contacted authorities and fixed it.

Uber has defied all predictions over the past 13 or so years of running out of money: there is always more $, and stock price keeps going up. It sorta defies reality--like amazon in 2015 in this regard or Tesla in 2013.

We have a handful of expensive, widely used templates in my work project.

We put the extern definition in a precompiled header and we have an externals.cpp file. It works a treat.

> Ah, I didn't realize, my bad.
Yeah, a huge beat was missed here. I don't envy the compiler writers, but surely we could have spent 6 months out of the last 19 years defining a common format, even if it defined <implementatiom defined blob> for the meat of the work.
Ripcord, the Steve Wozniak-backed file scanning startup, is raising new cash
In the overwhelming majority of fonts, it’s not a minus sign, as you can see from it being vertically positioned in the middle of a lowercase n instead of in the middle of a lining digit, like the plus sign is. (Neither is it a dash, being both too short and too thick.) It’s a weird hybrid of a hyphen and a minus that was introduced on typewriters to save a key and the accompanying mechanics. (For the same reason and with about as much respect for typography, many of them neglected to have numerals 0 and 1 separate from the Latin capital letters O and I.)

Unicode, unlike typewriters and ASCII, but following half a millenium of book printing tradition, encodes a hyphen and a minus separately. (Also a number of dashes, though perhaps fewer than medieval printers used.) The weird thing it resorts to calling HYPHEN-MINUS also has to be encoded and will probably persist in computer code (including Unix program arguments) forever, but in texts targeted at humans it has no place. The inadequacy of your (and my) keyboard is regrettable, but doesn’t really make for a great argument here.

Also, from the article above, it sounds like the people who elected Hamas don't support Hamas' policies regarding Israel, and they hoped Hamas would change their stance. Instead they elected Hamas because they promised to root out corruption. Wishful thinking? Parallels to Trump?
I absolutely will. Im usually not cutting edge enough to catch stuff, by the time I find it it's usually already reported.
So what you’re suggesting is Uber has an actionable fraud threshold and if an intelligent actor wanted to float beneath that with fake accounts and identities they could extract even more?
Bayer has a lot of modern stacks, literally cutting edge, on some of their departments. Depends on the department and what you're doing.
I was too young for PDA (My introduction to tech was iPhone 3G-4 and Windows XP SP2). But I've been looking at demos on Youtube and they do practically all I need (Except calling, but I rarely do that to). I've reduced the apps I use to a similar state, but I'd like the physical keyboard back and a cursor like the the one on the Apple TV remote.

What makes you say fidgeting is /a/ movement? Fidgeting is likely a combination of many positive and negative things; I can imagine: more anxious people are subconsciously wanting an escape from a situation and fidgeting more, more energised and impatient people are itching to hurry things up, more musically or rhythmically interested people are grooving with internal beats and earworms, uncomfortable people are pushed to move by their chair/clothes/posture/tools, it could be a form of stimming behaviour such as enjoying the feeling of the movement of clothes against skin or the finger movements taking some concentration and helping focus.

And on the negative side, non-fidgety people might be more depressed or anxious mentally, more physically drained or fatigued or lethargic physically, may have had upbringings where movement drew negative attention from adults telling them to sit still, may have social upbringings where fidgeting was seen as 'acting out', may have been part a band or group where being still was trained into them, may find their own movements distracting or annoying...
> new definition ... facts

Definitions are contextual. Your definition of influence is local, mine is global. That does not make your definition factual and mine non-factual/"new."

All the biased reporting about India comes from outlets like the NYT/WP/FT/Economist/BBC etc which is then picked up by local media from both sides. So, when I refer to influential Western media outlets, those are the ones.

(I am surprised as to why you would expect someone from India to follow Fox or Daily Mail or whatever your local RW outlet is. Can you name a single "influential" RW media outlet from India?)
Newer systems offer dramatically more opportunity for hacking. The problem is that you just don’t have to.

If you want to introduce hacking for necessity, try introducing an SBC into the mix. For $40, you can get a system younger you could be never dream of. Actually there is a Milk-V is $5 right now.
Yes, there's a balance. Best focused, individual work is probably done alone, in quiet.

But with collaboration, sometimes weeks of work can be cut out if one discovers the right work to do. And even better if a new direction or idea can be found. This is all of course technically possible remotely, but it doesn't happen in the general case because we didn't evolve to work by ourselves without f2f contact.
The only thing I think I know is not to blindly trust powerful voices advocating for a return to traditional values; they aren’t always acting in the best interests of the group.

I favor the dam removal and I hope the fish recover. But I still find your straight-line thinking unsettling.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you saying because you think tech jobs aren't important then collaboration in tech jobs isn't important as well?
Yes.

(I mean, that’s the hard variation of what I said… A softer variation would allow for public-corporate partnerships, or would merely regulate corporate activity much more.)
You hit the nail on the head, those were my top two complaints, but the rabbit hole goes deep.

It's not an exaggeration to say that trying to keep mysql from corrupting your data feels like a full-time job. Mysql in many ways, especially as used by massive social media companies early on was closer to a SQLish DSL for a non-transactional kv store than a "real" ACID database.

That's why "but it can do 70k rps" is just noise to someone. I don't care how fast it can lose my data.

I'm all for people needing to read the docs but man a database burns trust pretty fast when it's so easy to have it pretend to support transactions or pretend to support utf8.
Can someone with technical experience explain how this would work?

My apps are not remunerative enough to justify that.
End of the day, you can always quit and do another job. Part of the role of senior+ engineers in tech is to be a force multiplier and work across silos. If you don't want to do that, there's still remote jobs out there where if you're a good enough pure coder you can get paid. Sure you won't have the same career progression but it's different priorities right?
All poor people do is consume. They're the easiest to market to.
I wrote up some details of investigations of a chatbot we created in Microsoft Research using a technique of creating synthetic memories with LLMs and RAG.

Key takeaway is that it produced a bot that was perceived as more empathetic than ChatGPT with GPT-4 (and other chatbots) and allowed context to be maintained for extremely long chat conversations.

This concept you're describing is formalized in mathematics. In category theory it is called a functor. In haskell it is an actual language primitive also called a functor.

Note that a functor, however, is more broad. The relationship between the two "subjects" does not necessarily need to be bijective. It can be one way. There are conversions to new spaces with no direct way to convert back the the original entity in the old space. Quaternions and euler angles are an example of this one way conversion where there are multiple possibilities from euler to quat.

What's being talked about here is very different from the concept you describe although they are both part of functional programming.
Zero Spanish programmers would have gotten hired for salaries that were worth more than the money they brought in to the company hiring them, so the only way for a "correction" is if their work is not worth much anymore. Companies do not overpay when they outsource.

Why would any company fire a Spanish programmer that brings in money to the company, only to hire somebody more expensive in-office?

How many MW did those panels make at night when the river was still flowing?

It's silly to simply compare nominal power outputs. Different generation sources have different characteristics. If you support removing hydro you better support constructing battery storage with you wallet because just adding more solar panels does not fill the same niche
Uber is so big that they cannot attend to every possible discrepancy .
As I said in another comment, part of the job as an experienced/senior engineer in tech is to work with others, and not be a hero programmer.

I actually think that there's room here for a hybrid. Have one track for remote engineers and one for in person. Remote engineers get different work, they generally have a lower ceiling in career potential. In exchange they get what they want, they work mostly by themselves with videoconf/slack as aid.

Of course there's always the exceptions. If you're the top 0.0001% in domain experts in a field, you can do whatever you want.
Call me entitled, but I believe people should have a fundamental right to refuse spam (errr advertising). In fact in Canada that’s more or less a thing. Basically for the same reason I think people should have a fundamental right to not listen to propaganda, or to not eat fast food. Garbage in, garbage out. You are what you eat, you are what you read/watch.

If Youtube Premium had FEATURES I cared about, I would pay for it. I refuse to pay for the privilege of basic information hygiene.
My respect for dang is enormous. I would love a peek behind the curtain. I have no idea how this site maintains the quality it does. I see only a fraction of the work Dan does and I can only think he lives in some weird quantum bubble where he has 489 hours in every day.
Buying an older, well maintained Honda or Toyota is the way to go. Accomplishes the task for a fraction of the price of a new vehicle.
Incremental type checking is still painfully slow on a large codebase.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. The commuting and associated infrastructure are wasted on most office jobs, and they're not important enough to warrant it.
Yes. Same for all the big tech companies. I guarantee you people are already doing this in every way you can imagine and many you can't. Source: Worked on bad actor detection at FB.

> Considering that there are so many variables at play, it's a very flawed conclusion. You don't have enough data. It's not magic. You're just choosing to see it as you please.

I've been working in software for about 15 years across a wide range of companies and industries. JIRA or not is the best single indicator I've found for whether a workplace will suck (in particular, switching to JIRA is the most reliable indicator of when it's time to leave).

> Well then take it out? Giving you a gun doesn't mean you need to kill someone. Responsible adults? If you buy the tool at least there should be some effort in making it work?

> Again, you speak as though someone died because you had a gun - not because you killed them. Maybe consider that the company should be implementing a process or system and buying a tool to facilitate. They need to then set that tool up. If all they do is buy the tool and sleep that's on them.

I can't take it out, because JIRA only lets managers/admins/what-have-you do that, and they aren't the people who have to fill in the pointless fields and don't care.

A properly designed gun will have safety features (there's simply no excuse for not being able to undo the transition you just did, that's the equivalent of having a hair trigger and no safety), and a responsible gun store will offer safety training to buyers.

Good defaults are important, and other tools in this space manage to get them right.
Tracking data can be used long-term to profile and manipulative you as well as sell your soul to the devil. Whereas ads are a result of tracking data. If you want to combat ads then you want either no ads or you don't want relevant ads, and you achieve that by avoiding tracking.

One could say: "Google will keep my tracking data secure, because it is in their primary interest to do so in order to be the primary benefactor to their ad revenue." Sure, that holds some merit. Til Google figures a way to circumvent your ad blocker, til Google sells your data to a third party ("partner"), til Google gets hacked (and they were hacked by the NSA).

Data is a toxic asset; I rather give them nothing. But I do understand then they don't want me as customer. Which is why I do have YouTube Premium. But I pay an equivalent to ~2 EUR/month in Indian rupees to keep my family (especially my children; I got NewPipe x SponsorBlock x Return YouTube Dislike [1]) advertising free. And as much tracking free as possible while still using Android TV (too user-friendly to give up on) thanks to Pi-Hole and strict Google account settings [2].

Anyway, yeah, it is the creators problem. All too often creators do have a Patreon or Onlyfans or whatever, or they 'borrowed' the content anyway. Though they do get a hit, so it might be Google's problem. Cause they still get hosting and platform for free.

I am surprised. Samuel Clemens was a good friend of Nikola Tesla, so I am surprised he was around Edison. I forget the timing of Clemens' friendship with Tesla, though I thought it was much earlier than this.
> Also, some businesses, such as car rental companies, won't provide services to debit card holders.

In America, yes. Not really a thing in Europe, at least not in any places I’ve been to.
Yes. Fuel economy rules are scaled by vehicle size. The way the regulations are written, it's actually easier to comply when building larger vehicles.

https://www.resources.org/common-resources/how-much-do-regul...

Of course it's completely stupid and counterproductive for governments to set fuel economy mandates in the first place. If they want people to burn less fuel then just increase the tax on fuel and let the free market sort out solutions.

cardholders Mastercard thinks will be “high-value”—predictions used to target certain people and encourage them to spend more money.

Sorry, I don't understand, perhaps because I am in the UK not US. My bank issues my Mastercard, so I don't have a direct relationship with them. How would they target me?
Why would they do that? Owning the connection between user and internet seems pertinent to Google's interests. Then, even a phone vendor like Apple can't block you from accessing core customer data like location, device id, etc.
For those interested, I had to learn this stuff and following are the usual suspects in these typographical crimes, in English:

* U+002D: Hyphen-minus "-": The old ASCII character that appears when you press the key on your keyboard, at least on a US keyboard. Per Unicode, "used generically for hyphen, minus sign or en dash". Recall that ASCII had only ~96 'codepoints', as we now call them, available for characters, so many characters were designed for multiple uses, such as quotes, used for open and close quotes; carot '^', tilde '~', etc. used also as diacritics; and the uber-flexible hyphen-minus-en dash (and unofficially em dash, half-em dash ('--'), and univeral horizontal line). Also, recall that typewriters only had one hyphen-dash-minus character.

* U+2010: Hyphen: "‐": Specifically a hyphen and nothing else. Typographically, hyphens are just a bit shorter than en dashes. Grammatically, a hyphen demarcates a boundary within a term, such as compound words ('editor‐in‐chief'), phone numbers (555‐555‐5555), etc.

* U+2013: En dash: "–": Typographically, half an em dash, slightly longer than a hyphen. Grammatically, en dashes show a continuous range, e.g.: 'October–December', 'pages 15–93', and, if I don't misunderstand, 'London–Paris train', etc. It's also used in some grammatical and typographical edge case circumstances. Also, of interest only on HN: "typographers sometimes use U+2013 en dash to represent the minus sign, particularly a unary minus"

* U+2014: Em Dash "—": Typographically, twice the length of an en dash, reputedly the width of a capital 'M'. Grammatically, em dashes show a break: '"No, no, not the—" ("Yes—the Spanish Inquisition!")'. Also commonly used for parenthetical-style breaks in sentences: 'The Spanish Inquisition—ubiquitous, omniscient, or so they say—was always unexpected.' Finally, used for attribution: '"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." — Eisenhower'. Also some odd, edge case uses. And because you asked, "In older mathematical typography, U+2014 em dash may also used to indicate a binary minus sign."

* U+2212: Minus sign: "−"

There are many more—Double Oblique Hyphen anyone? Search around Unicode, for example, for 'dash'.

Sources: Unicode documentation, Chicago Manual of Style, maybe other similar sources. The summaries of their functions, based on those sources, are mine.
