It’s not temporary if they follow through.

Read some Camus and meditate on relativity’s reach; can’t ever know the abstract signals others feel. We’re not made of philosophy but mush and go propagating electricity.

Is it temporary if they stick around or are they role-playing?

You can’t ever actually know. Just argue rhetorical positions in symbolic logic. Not the same as being anyone else.

There’s no “flaw” as there’s no “one true symbolic rhetorical argument” to rule them all. Suggesting there’s a flaw implies there is.

If you want these on your own house all you have to do is visit a home–improvement store and look for the casement windows. They probably have a whole aisle of choices to pick from.
Same thing that happens to most who aren't doing pretty damn financially well in the US, I guess? All their savings gets siphoned into the system, then they die younger than they might have, and less comfortably than they should, unless family takes very good care of them? Then debt collectors try to trick anyone connected to them into paying for medical & other debts they aren't responsible for? The usual.

Anyway, worker visas don't have to be a path to citizenship, so this may fall, for better or worse, under "not our problem", depending on how it's all structured.

> Regulation won't fix a broken culture.

That's fine. Regulation's "job" isn't to "fix a broken culture", it exists to prevent repeat mistakes -- especially risky/damaging ones. The saying goes, "safety regulations are written in blood" -- that most of the regulations we have exist to prevent some kind of tragedy that has already happened at least once.

> Our regulatory state drives up the cost of housing in numerous ways ("look and feel", etc).

Most of those are not regulations, they're just rules. (i.e., 'neighborhood character / look and feel').

> Our regulatory state drives up the cost of housing (arc-fault breakers)

That's not a 'cost drive-up', that's basic safety. (AFCI breakers literally prevent home electrical fires, Home Depot sells these at full retail markup for like ~$50/each. (120v,15a). You might use, what 12 of these on the average home? $600 total? On a $300k new build, AFCI costs you 0.2% of your total budget. These are not why housing is expensive).
That's a good question and I encourage you to join the CISA Working Groups on VEX etc.
It is only indirect work but it might help steer things in the right direction.

I'm repeating myself but: CVEs are useless. Please don't use them as an equivalent for "vulnerabilities".

Regulators might take a few years to catch up but if I'm able to DDoS my competition with bogus vulnerabilities then people will do just that.

The CRA says that only "exploitable" vulnerabilities have to be fixed and it does accept VEX statements. So that's good.
I would have liked to see "exploited" instead of "exploitable" but it's better than nothing.

I assume/hope the US will follow.
Ah, figured it out:

1. In mobile Safari, tap the file to download and tap ok

2. When it’s finished, tap the blue circle with a down arrow next to the address bar to open downloads

3. Tap the file you just downloaded to switch to the Files app

4. In the Files app, tap the zip file you just downloaded to uncompress it

5. Tap and hold the directory and select “Move”

6. Navigate to or search for the “ScummVM” folder

7. Tap “Move” in the upper right hand corner

Now the game should show up in the file browser within ScummVM to be added

1. In the ScummVM launcher, tap “Add Game”

2. Select the folder and tap “Choose”
I'm pretty sure you're wrong.

When the FBI took down the FLDS church with hundreds of child brides that also had kids of their own. The FBI/Social services essentially threw up their hands and said this is too big a problem then handed the child brides and products of child r@pe back to the abusers to continue on. Watch the doc on netfix.

Child protective services (CPS) is mostly a joke all over the world. It all stems from the same problem. You have to spent 24x7 for 18 years raising the child if you take it from the parents. There simply are far more abuse cases happening then there are people willing to raise other peoples children. Making a child takes moments. The resources of raising for 18 years is an imbalance that cannot be reconciled.
And yet… it’s one of the most highly valued companies on the planet, and a clear #1 in cloud services.
I guess for some things is valid for others not so much. Language? Sure, vocabulary and grammar changes. Math? not so sure.
A friend had a similar experience. They got "benched" with no impactful work and promises of impactful project work once headcount is available. In reality, no headcount was available on their team for over 18 months, and there were no prospects in the foreseeable future. Bad performance review feedback with raise not keeping pace with inflation with some random excuse. They got the message and changed jobs, taking their decade of Amazon-internal knowledge with them.

I really love adb. It's so damn useful. You can even reroute ports through a VPN running on the phone. It's like a swiss army knife. And I'm not even an android developer lol

It's one of the biggest reasons I prefer android. That and the work profile that allows me to compartmentalise all work stuff and other privacy invading shit without needing a second phone.
Yea, I equate it to part of security theater.

I worked on a product that rotated the TLS certificate frequently. And it actually showed up a number of times in questions from customers or vendor security questionnaires about whether we rotated the certificates and how that happened.

But what we were never asked was whether old certificates were cancelled... which in that system they were not. So it didn't matter how many times we rotated our secrets, any old or leaked secret in a backup or elsewhere was still completely valid. But we had met the security theater that those rotations happened.

So I expect what you do, is that changing a password would cancel all sessions using that credential. But that's kind of hard to do, so we'll just leave that side buggy and untested, because we did the important part of the theater that said we can change passwords.
I drive a nice Mercedes sedan with AWD and a v6 engine, and I bought it with cash, used. Insurance is cheaper. With WFH I drive to meetings and for travel. It will last me ten more years. Last one I had got t-boned at an intersection with 230k miles on it. It's quiet, comfortable, and safe. The infotainment is laughably bad, so I have bluetooth on the aux input and nav and audio is from my phone. I hope not to buy another car until I can get a an under $30k EV that is equivalent in function and longevity. Putting more than that into a car feels to me like setting money on fire.

Rule of thumb about shells:

You'll never know for sure what shell is the default, so write your scripts to a minimum shell family, and encode the name of that shell family in the shebang.

The default shell, for either the entire system or an individual user, could be:

- A Bourne shell
- A C shell
- A POSIX shell
- A "modern" shell, like Bash, Zsh, Fish, Osh

Use the following shebangs to call the class of shell you expect. Start with /usr/bin/env to allow the system to locate the executable based on the current PATH environment variable rather than a fixed filesystem path.

#!/usr/bin/env sh
# ^ should result in a Bourne-like shell, on modern systems, but could also be
# a POSIX shell (like Ash), which is not really backwards compatible

#!/usr/bin/env csh
# ^ should result in a C shell

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# ^ should result in a Bash shell, though the only version you should
# expect is version 3.2.57, the last GPLv2 version

#!/usr/bin/env dash
# ^ you expect the system to have a specific shell. if your code depends
# on Dash features, do this. otherwise write your code using an earlier
# version of the original shell family, such as Bourne or POSIX.

If you need to pass a command-line argument to the shell command before interpreting your script, use the fixed filesystem path for the shell. Due to bugs in the way kernels execute scripts, all arguments after the initial shebang path may be sent as a single argument, which is probably not what you (or the shell command) expect. (e.g. use #!/bin/bash --posix instead of #!/usr/bin/env bash --posix as the latter may fail)

Different shells have different implementation details. For example, Bash tends to skew toward POSIX conformance by default, even if it conflicts with traditional Bourne shell behavior. Dash may try to implement POSIX semantics, but also has its own specific behavior incompatible with POSIX.

In order to get specific behavior (like POSIX emulation), you may need to add a flag like --posix, or set an environment variable like POSIXLY_CORRECT. For shells that support it, you can also detect the version of the shell running, and bail if the version isn't compatible with your script.

Here are some references of the differences between shells:

- Major differences between Bash and Bourne shell[2]
- Practical differences between Bash and Zsh[3]
- Fundamental differences between mainstream \*NIX shells[4]

In my experience professors are very good candidates for top tech companies - many have management experience, many have taught algorithms at one point or are good at them already. I doubt this professor didn’t have a choice.

I maintain an old cms that stores the id of the parent, left sibling, and right sibling.

Making any changes to the order or grouping is wrought with peril because you never know if everything is going to be updated properly. When it isn't, it's an ordeal to correct.

Having a parent id and sort order is straightforward and about as simple as it gets. I really don't see why you'd need to do it any other way outside of a thought experiment.

> a number of Indian people that have moved to the US that say they will never go back to India

Yep! My parents and I are the same. The QoL in even a 3rd tier cow town in the US will be better than an economically vibrant city in India or China. Having clean tap water is (imo) the pinnacle of a developed country.

> things. If all your village has is mud huts you are still living in a mud hut

True, but most Indian villages aren't like that anymore. They have all fairly developed now with electricity, WiFi, decent schools, etc. Go use Google street view - Indian villages may seem messy by Western standards, but they've gotten much better now.

If you're someone who lived in small town or village India your whole life, and go to college to get a good job, if you have the option to earn a big city salary in your small town while being close to your family can be hard to beat.

It's the same reason you see plenty of Techies take remote jobs and live near their families in the Midwest.

You can get the original version of Arc Lisp and the forum it's based on here[0], which only a select few people update, rarely, and they don't take PRs as far as I'm aware. And there is a FOSS fork here[1], which might as well be dead, but as far as what's actually running under HN's hood, good luck getting to it if you aren't a YC employee.

Fwiw,I live in the Boston area, and I think I can count the number of monogamous people I know, who aren't my family, on my fingers. I was talking to a friend recently about how few people in our social circles are monogamous, and named the two monogamous couples I've been socializing with them most over the last year, and she informed me that she had been dated one person in each of those couples in the last 6 months. As it turned out I assumed they were monogamous because they are more of my idea of a traditional monogamous couple when ove hung out with them, but they both date and play with other people.
What you cite is one factor. Another factor is access for students. Once upon a time, curious students had two choices: buy books to learn on their own; or go to whatever low quality teachers they had. Cheap internet, YouTube, LibGen, other resources help students as long as the latter desire to learn.

I have cousins who attended no name universities in India getting SWE roles in Amazon - something that was unimaginable 5 years ago - and expanding Dev offices to lower CoL cities like Hyderabad while slowly pivoting away from Bangalore.

Amazon always had a policy to not judge candidate based on their universities. It's not new.

Claude Bragdon: Drawings of the Fourth Dimension (2022)
Yeah, I think Golds and CrossFit could benefit, at the expense of places like 24 Hour Fitness, which are more about losing weight (IMO).

I agree there appear to be non-trivial side effects to these drugs, and I certainly won't be first in line to try them out. But I expect that they will be refined substantially, and that elimination of side effects will be a key goal. For example, if the drug can be administered via pill instead of injection, it would be easier to do a lower, steadier dose, which presumably would mellow out some of the side effects. Pharma companies undoubtedly see the huge pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and will do whatever it takes to get there. The best drugs will likely always be more expensive than the earlier generations, which will be used by larger portions of the population.

But to the extent that tastemakers are the elite, I think we'll see a cultural change regarding desirable traits even if mere mortals like me aren't on the medications. The change will accelerate as the drugs become cheaper and more available to the masses.
> The way this is said makes it seem like they're expecting to be paid twice for two orders, one returned.

Are you referring to the Dec 30 tweet text, the Dec 28 tweet text, or the paper note in the Dec 28 tweet's photo?
The mass layoffs were 1.7% of the company, and the author himself says they didn't have much of an impact. It's no different than what every other big tech company did, and their numbers were a lot worse. The rest of what he talks about ("Making them miserable and silently sacking them.") is what I'm referencing. RTO might be the latest instance of it, but it isn't some big cultural shift. Amazon has never been an employee friendly company. Forcing people to quit when a department's salary gets too much or when they are nearing their 3rd or 4th year vesting periods is basically part of the manager handbook over there.

As an Englishman I hate Brexit. I don't know many people who ever wanted it (it tends to be the older generation).

There's two big things for me:
1. The debate on the BBC etc. focused on the economy, sovereignty, and immigration. Nobody even addressed diplomacy - that unity leads to peace and better relationships.

2. A lot of the coverage was on the personalities. Boris Johnson in particular. There was no equal calibre spokesperson for remain. Most people don't remember who was the face of remain. It's because David Cameron (the most natural spokesperson for remain at the time) didn't want the optics of a fractured Tory party.

So it's incredibly unsurprising to me that most people regret Brexit. I think frankly this was true even the day after (remain was the presumed winner and a lot of people regretted not voting).

One last point here: if the referendum was to stay, there would have been more referendums every few years. But it gets 51% or whatever it was and that's the final word on it?

Absolute disaster.
One way or the other you have to heat up the air again. The main reason this works is because air has very low thermal mass. Something like a thousand times less than typical solid materials. Even a small amount of solid mass is not going to cool down that much in such a short period of time.
> RTO might be the latest instance of it, but it isn't some big cultural shift.

Again, this is just demonstrably false. But if you want to continue to have some personal vendetta against Amazon's culture, you do you.
They also ship books in oversized boxes with no padding. If you're "lucky", they combined your book order with your order for something hard and heavy that can help beat the book up while the box tumbles.

Not always, but often enough that if I order a book from them, I try to remind myself to to wait to order until nothing else I've ordered has yet to ship. Then wait after I've ordered the book, until the book has shipped, before I order anything else.

I don't order that much from Amazon, but my orders often "cluster". For a recent example, the Christmas holidays. I got a beat up book cover because they upped the delivery date of the book by about a week (newish best seller), while in the meantime I'd ordered a heavy object that always ships the next day and that I didn't want to wait a week plus for. So, jacketed hardcover arrives loose in the oversized space next to big, heavy, sharp edged object, with no padding whatsoever inside the box.

I guess if I'd returned that book, it simply would have gone -- damaged -- to someone else.
