AI could do code review better than coding.

I had coworkers fly out to a training class and met up with some other attendees in the lobby prior to the training. That's when they all realized that there was no training course and no one had told any of them.
What's illegal is IQ/ability tests having disparate impact on particular racial groups. You can only use them if you can justify how they're related to the job (which is much easier for algorithms stuff in SE roles).
Walmarts are the epicenter of crime in many small towns.

I suppose an argument is that if they stop undercutting the prices of smaller businesses, then the rowdy behavior wouldn't gravitate toward them, it would be more evenly distributed. But letting the police focus 80% of such efforts there (instead of forcing some sort of change that blurs their focus) might not be a bad thing.
GitHub Actions is a seriously flawed CI system
This is a bit of a rant, but also heads up for anyone who is considering adopting it, and aimed at someone in Microsoft who can influence this project.

I am just going to bullet point some of the shortcomings that make it practically unusable for any serious deployment:

* You cannot view logs of ongoing jobs. If you navigate to a job view after a task has already started, all you are going to see is a spinner. The job might be stuck in a loop, there might be an error, etc. You won't know until the job ends.

* You cannot define which jobs have to _always_ run, i.e. setup and teardown. Suppose you have a matrix of test runners. You need to setup the test environment before jobs start and teardown after they finish. You have the ability to do that on the happy path, but if one of the shards fails and it needs to be retried, there is no way to tell CI to "you must re-run the setup step before retrying this job"

* You cannot restrict when CI jobs should run, e.g. Let's say you want to NOT run jobs for Draft PRs. You may try to add `if: github.event.pull_request.draft == false` but that has two serious drawbacks: 1) check will be reported as passed even though it didn't run 2) updating PR from Draft -> Ready does not trigger

* You cannot reliably cancel jobs. Sometimes jobs just get stuck and no amount of "Cancel job" requests do anything. The only thing that eventually stops them is the timeout (tip: set timeout for every step exactly for this reason)

* There is no built-in mechanism for retries.

* You cannot manually retry a particular job until every job in the workflow has finished.

This is a non-exhaustive list.
I lived in Minneapolis in the late 90s/early 2000s. As I look back, I think the MPD is one of the most corrupt of all the places I've lived or worked.

The sheer number of off duty "security" was surprising. As was the fact that cops never waited at stop lights. Instead, they'd roll up, flick on their lights for a second, then just roll through and keep driving.

I've never seen anything like it since.

Aside from things that may lead to accusations of violating equal opportunity employment laws, you can ask just about anything. Many previous employers won't do more than confirm employment though, as a negative review may open them up to liability. As a result, the norm in many industries is to only ask (and receive) confirmation of employment.
Come on... we are very early in this new world. It's always funny the lack of imagination people have with this stuff. Have you not been observing the rapid progress of LLMs? This app was not possible a few years ago. What will these products look like a few years from now? What commercials on the Super Bowl will be using AI generated music in the background? Will the NFL Network be using these AI sounds during their transitions?

I mean, yeah most of these are lame. I found one or two that actually sounded good. But they are short clips. It's probably going to take awhile for AI to generate an entire 4-minute track cohesively.

I was trained in linguistics in Finland, so what I posted is based on my own experience with the language and how it is used by Finnish society, but I admit to not knowing particular studies to cite, because my own research focuses on some other languages. Now, native Finnish speakers here are, of course in a position to speak more precisely on many matters, but I would be surprised if views were much different than my native-Finnish-speaking colleagues’.

It can only be expected that someone reading a fossilized written standard aloud is going to apply various sound changes. When reading the written standard aloud with the standard pronunciation is seen as someone only newsreaders or solemn speech-givers do, then it will seem very stilted and pedantic to do so if you’re just an ordinary person. Now, the investigator could try to nudge the person into using standard pronunciation, but I would expect this to provoke some offense, because it might be suggesting that the person’s dialect or idiolect is wrong.

Moreover, there seems to be a widespread conception in Finland that actually sticking to the written standard in everyday writing, or pronouncing it aloud strictly according to the standard, is a marker of autism. Subconsciously, people try to show that they are more loosened up.

> Finnish as a typical example of diglossia? The differences between the two registers are not that big to begin with

Yes, I have often seen Finland described as an example of diglossia. The differences between the two registers are so great that foreign learners typically get 1.5 years of kirjakieli, and then they have to nearly start all over again with puhekieli using dedicated learning material. But it is not only foreigners: I have worked with Finns born abroad who learned only puhekieli from their parents, and upon moving to Finland and needing to be able to find jobs, they had to spend some time learning kirjakieli from a specialized programme, and by their own admission they found many features of it baffling at first.

> Let me reformulate the experiment

Your reformulated experiment only supports my claim of diglossia. Of course someone listening to a standard-language text read aloud will understand it and won’t find it weird. But it’s the same case for reading fusha aloud to a group of speakers of an Arabic dialect.
The fundamental issue isn't that some technologies are "off", lots of high-level research into things like mathematics and tech has absolutely no direct practical application. Lots of things are done with the mindset of "planting trees even though we ourselves will never be able to enjoy the shade".

The actual problem is the financial madness that's overtaken tech. Bitcoins is a great concept, having a decentralized system not owned by visa for doing payments across the planet would be a huge boon to a lot of people. But it drowned in how much money could be made by treating it as a financial investment. The same thing is happening with AI, and it's not the fault of AI itself as a tech. And frankly, all the comments about how "AI isn't all that, it won't be able to quickly upend every industry on the planet and make us billions" is a disappointing mindset to see. The hacker mentality has been replaced by middle-managers and financial experts.

North American style unions are radically different than Nordic style. Nordic ones are trade-specific more often than not, where as in North American they are predominantly company specific, with some exceptions like Electricians Unions in Canada. For example, the Engineer's Union (Verkfræðingafélag) has employees across the board. When you change jobs, you retain your union as long as you meet the criteria.

I hope the latter. Many people are sick of corruption, but often they react to imaginary conpiratorial instances and ignore the corruption that is in plain sight.
>Some people code to live, not live to code.

That doesn't mean not loving coding.

It means that you might have other hobbies that you want to spend time on, or other obligations you have to spend time on, etc.

I like what I do at my job. I would even go as far to say as I love it. I also don't do it for an extra 20 hours a week (beyond the 40 hours I already do for work) because I have other things I love to do too (sometimes more!); quality time with friends, family, my other hobbies, etc.

readability of the code to other developers

I disagree that Go's insistence on verbosity improves readability. Each individual line may simpler, but the larger purpose of the code is obscured in all the "if err != nil" weeds.

My unpopular opinion is that Dart should get a lot more attention. Strong typing with null-safety, compiles to native, batteries included, and nearly as expressive as Python.
That has not just qualified immunity, but also straight up standard sovereign immunity. On top of that, the courts are very much against messing with prosecutorial discretion. They view it as a separation of powers issue.

FT: How to make space-based solar power a reality
That's because the state doesn't generate revenue, it isn't the state's money, and the people have a right to know how their taxes are being spent. I'm not saying that invalidates your broader point but it is an important distinction. It's by definition something completely different than a coffee shop with 15 part-time employees and one owner, or a budding new web agency with a half dozen full-time designers and coders.
Defining Rule of Law as “a permanent ground truth” is likely part of the confusion, as that definition doesn’t really encapsulate the concept.

I find it much easier when it is defined in contrast with “not rule of law” or “arbitrary rule by men” as it is traditionally described.

The point being that it is not about the laws themselves, but rather the manner in which power is exercised. Laws may exist, but if some people are not be bound by them, and are able to wield the laws however they wish (we call these people tyrants), then you don’t truly have rule by law, you are rule by arbitrary will. In order to have rule by law, the law must be the source of power itself, and must apply to all people equally.

This is where resistance to unjust laws or unjust authorities comes in. When people use their authority to put themselves above the law or excised use the law in an unjust/unequal manner, then we are stepping outside the bounds of the rule of law itself. The law is reduced to a mere tool of oppression rather than a source of legitimate authority.

A corollary to this, as mentioned by another commenter, is the concept of so called “natural law”, that is law that exists as an antecedent to human law or is given by god/some other non human source. Note that rule of law is not the same as nor is it dependent on a concept of natural law. The concept of “The Rule of Law” is much older than that of “natural law”.

180g means nothing really, yes. Often lighter weight records sound better but I don’t know if that’s because of the weight or because of effort placed in other areas.

Knowing if a record will sound good is tough these days. You can read discogs reviews but those are a crapshoot because 90% of them are people who are listening on $50 turntables with built in 2” speakers. They either complain about everything being shit while ignorant of their garbage equipment or paradoxically just think everything is 5 stars because “vinyl just sounds better”

That said the steve Hoffman forums music forums (stevehoffman.tv), gearspace.com, vinylengine.com, certain subreddits (forget which, don’t really go on Reddit anymore but r/vinyl is probably a good start) are at least places with more nuanced discussion where you can generally see the rationale for why someone thinks a pressing is good instead of just “omg it sounds so good 5 stars”. You often get great info on their signal chain as well. But they aren’t nearly as comprehensive so don’t expect to find everything
The C / Mario cube [humor]
This is a very tired trope of propaganda against unions.

Unions don't dictate your pay, they set a range and the company pays in that range for performance. It's no different than what your employer does to you today, except with a Union the ranges are known and negotiated collectively instead of the company dictating them.

Unions don't prevent people from being fired, they just require cause. Because the flip side of this is corporate firing people without cause days before the qualify for 401k matching, pension plan, or another stock vest or other such nonsense. You want to fire Bob because you don't like him? Tough luck, we're not here to be friends, we're here to work. Union says show evidence Bob isn't doing his job, then you can fire him.
It is actually a tragedy that privacy is so inconvenient and complicated
In my experience, a lot of places that want to do redundant wired Internet have the local fiber provider and local cable provider going into some failover or SD-WAN setup. T1 would be rare (but possible) for Internet access, not rare for phone (funny thing is the phone might be SIP over Internet over T1).

You might even have crappy situations due to people not understanding what they are buying (or other weird reasons) where 2 ISPs share 1 LEC circuit, e.g. a single physical fiber line.

But anyway, a provider cutting you off permanently is more than an outage. You need to get another ISP.
It seems like there are a few different issues at play here:

1. In general, it doesn't sound like the police were the ones forcing the bars to hire police; that was the city. Maybe there was some backroom deal happening where the police were paying off city officials to create that mandate, but if so the article doesn't allege it. As others have pointed out, there are valid (though debatable) reasons for why a city might want to force bars and public events to hire private security, and even some valid (but more questionable) reasons why they might want that security to be cops or former cops.

2. But then there's the racism angle, with the woman in the article claiming that the only reason her business was required by the city to hire private security was because "they’re racist and we’re Mexican". If it's true that's the reason her business was targeted then yes that's a problem that definitely needs to be dealt with; probably through a civil lawsuit and some serious public shaming. Though I'll note that would be the city's fault; not the police.

3. The article also makes a separate claim "some small business owners — particularly those owned by immigrants — have been led to believe they must hire MPD officers, or risk getting ghosted by police", which if true would be an actual protection racket that the feds should bring the hammer down hard on, though there doesn't seem to be any compelling evidence of that as of yet (as least, not as described in the article); just rumors and allegations so far.

4. And then there's the issue of some of the officers hired being really expensive and not good workers. IMO that's only an issue if the claims about a protection racket are true. Otherwise you could just fire the people who are being lazy and hire someone else, same as any other business. It might also be a good argument for why the city shouldn't be requiring officers in particular to be the ones hired (much more limited hiring pool).

5. Then there's the tax evasion issue, with some officers insisting on being paid in cash. That's the least important part of this in my opinion. Let the IRS deal with it if that's actually what's happening.

(I don't know why I wasted so much time writing this summary, but now that I have I might as well post it... hopefully some find it helpful.)

That's specifically software--which is his background. However, while I have no doubt he had and has some high-level familiarity with finance, marketing, and other functions that reported to him as CEO, he probably didn't have the level of deep operational knowledge of those areas that the people hired specifically for those roles did.

I have no doubt he could learn them. He's a smart guy. But the idea that he could drop into any job at Microsoft and excel on Day One is silly.

This is the missing link that I've rarely if ever seen in the USA - the Union needs to "police itself" so that they are guaranteeing a certain "value of labor".

In the US the biggest group complaining about lazy union employees are the other union employees.
Nearly the same. “Did BigJ1211 work at your company? Would you hire them again?”

But that signals to their current employer that they’re applying for other jobs. Unlike the EU, employers in the US can be retaliatory about that.
Here is a dark side of side projects (pun unintended). I went to an interview which was a nodejs shop. I was excited as they wanted to see a side project. Most of mine are just things I do for fun. Anyway it was in golang (with lots of control plane like features for a "fun" saas offering). Cto wasnt happy that I had chosen go and wanted to know why I hadn't chosen Node instead. (Never mind my Fe was in typescript). He wasnt happy with any of my explanations and came back with retorts like "well you have async/await so you don't really need goroutines).

First of all nobody should be forced to be judged on side projects alone. There are several talented "family folks" out there. And even if not there are enough "recharge on my time " folks which is totally fair.

Secondly just like in leetcoding interview all it takes is an inexperienced interviewer with a script to degrade the experience!
I think this is a great usage of the technology that has the potential to produce very interesting and unique mixes. AI image generation has this ability to make images that at a glance create in your mind the prompt but then fall apart at the seems when you focus on any particular element. But for music "sounding like music" is the highest ideal it can achieve. You spend only a second on any particular part so your mind just fills in the gaps and ends up not being uncanny since "playing notes outside the frame" is already widely used in modern composition.

The lyrics are weird and it is gonna fall down on musical styles where structure is both more apparent and important but whatever, just making the backing track itself is a huge accomplishment.
Good fodder for the debate about EU proposals for mandatory Chat Control. The problem of course is whatever the policy or the technology proposed, can you trust the provider or the government?
