A side effect of UNIX adoption, C already being in the box, whereas anything else would cost money, and no famous dialect (Object Pascal, VMS Pascal, Solaris Pascal, UCSD Pascal) being portable.

Unfortunately Pascal only mattered to legions of Mac and PC developers.

> Worked at a 10k+ US company. Executive swore at me. Threatened to fire me. Did HR give a fuck? No. I did what I could, in my position, to protect my job. I had my own manager join the call early on (was a 15 minute "heated" debate with that exec. I kept my head) and involved another senior exec, above the previous one.

I'm struggling to see how your circumstance, described as involving only a mid level exec, compares to one involving the CEO of a similarly large company who's notorious for firing people on a whim.
The chances of having an accidental hash collision are really small.

I have build data warehouses with md5 as the hashing algorithm to generate keys from natural keys. Did some back of the envelope calculations back then and found that the chance of a hash collision was minute. Don't remember the exact numbers, but somewhere in the 100s of years if I was generating keys every second.

This could btw very well be a thing with large volumes of data, but in many systems this absolutely not a worry.
I got way in to Meshtastic when I was doing some group backwoods camping in national parks. Satellite was really the only other option at the time for long range, highly reliable communication and is so expensive! I got some t-beams and was super impressed by how well they worked. The interface at the time was very clunky and the software was in its infancy. In practice the devices were only usable in the context of showing their GPS location/distance from each other because the iOS support was specifically non-existent. That said I wanted them just to make sure if someone was gone for a long time, you’d know if they were okay by proxy of them moving and be able to find them if needed. It worked for that as a bare device.

The software has come a long way and I’ve been really impressed even though I haven’t been in a situation to take advantage of it again. I’ve got one of these on order though because it just tickles me.
Please note I specifically said I wasn't discussing share price. Regarding the Fed, that honestly is a misrepresentation of what I said. Please don't do that. And please review this part of my previous post:

Public statements can contribute to a hostile work environment. What is being alleged is that joking about sexual harassment and a lack of clarity around workplace policies have created a hostile work environment. That is directly related to working conditions. (To be clear, they never say the words "hostile work environment," that is my interpretation.)

That's why I was so unsure. I think though, that it is generally better to have the input generator seeded and do not disclose the chosen seed in advance, which prevents overfitting to a single input and yet encourages overfitting to a much bigger class of inputs.
I live in Poland. Wherever the distance to your nearest school is more than 4 kilometers (or 3 kilometers in the early grades), the municipality has to provide transport - which is usually the case only in rural areas. In cities you'll most likely have multiple schools within 1km, which is perfectly walkable even for younger children. The high school I went to was 3.5km away from my home and I was getting there by tram, but if I went to the nearest one it would be 250m away, just like the primary school I went to. Same with kindergarten in fact, but IIRC I wasn't going there on my own back then. I live in suburbs now and the nearest primary school is 700m away - no reason to drive (nor walk) a ~10yo kid to their school here either.

(for the record: primary school encompasses what US calls elementary and middle schools here)

My very liberal definition of "far away" would probably be something like "more than 1.5km" (the distance I was going by foot to a swimming pool as a kid), more if we consider public transport and bikes too - though those of course won't necessarily be viable options everywhere and at every age.

SpaceX fired these employees for asking SpaceX to hold Elon accountable to SpaceX's own rules. It is appropriate to say that that is wrong. There's no "crying to mommy". It's saying "we all agreed to these rules as we came together as a company. Everyone should follow them."

The whole (internal! Until leaked) open letter is near the bottom of that article. Wasn’t paywalled for me.

Reading it cleared up the noise in this thread pretty neatly. Sure looks like this has a great shot of counting as protected discussion of work conditions. I now know posts in this thread dismissing the letter as just “politics” or just “criticizing the CEO” have no connection to reality. It’s very restrained and focused.

Um, that "incentive" is called not going to jail. Or more generally, behaving like a moral citizen. Just like for everybody else, ex-convict or not.

Just because you've been convicted before doesn't mean morals don't apply to you and you need extra candy to behave well. These kinds of arguments are making the case weaker to hire fellons, not stronger.

The alternative is political structures that prevent violence and resolve political problems otherwise.

Warfare is politics - it's when someone says, 'I must get what I want and talking can't achieve it'. We need political structures that provide solutions through talking, which is the/an origin of courts, democracy, a rules-based international order.
The American system of government has fairly onerous limits on federal power. We have been fairly clever at subverting those limits, but setting state by state mandates for EVs on the road doesn’t sound like an easy lift to me.
I've been considering an EV, but this got me to look at the break even point for how much I actually drive (5,000 mi / year), my gas mileage (30 mpg), my offpeak power costs ($0.20 / kWh), and typical gas prices here ($4.50 / gal). It would take me about 20 years to save $25,000, which is about the difference between my current car and a Tesla. That said, I probably shouldn't consider a Tesla, since it occasionally snows pretty hard here in Northern Nevada and the Tesla's snow handling is not the best.
This is done to simulate real-world performance. Your binary is not the only binary in the system and other services may be running as well. So fastest time is the happiest path and slowest is the unluckiest.

The range of remaining three is what you expect to get 99% of the time on a real world system.
My biggest beef with EV buyers is their obsession with range, and their complete and utter disregard for efficiency. Why do we obsess over fuel economy for our ICE cars but have zero awareness of what the equivalent figures are for the various EVs.

Imagine 2 seemingly environmentally conscious buyers debating between a Corolla and a Hummer:

"How far can the Corolla go on a tank? 325mi. OK, well how far can the Hummer go? Well it's got the extended safari tank, so it can go 500mi. Got it, so obviously I'm going to get the Hummer."

No ICE buyers who have any concern for the environment would ever compare two ICE cars using only the total range figure, and completely disregard the MPG. In fact it's the complete opposite. Most would consider the Hummer absurd solely due to its atrocious fuel economy.

Similarly, these same people will say things like:

"Be sure to turn off the lights when you leave a room"

"I changed out my LEDs because they're so much more efficient than those old incandescents"

So why are they so obsessed with saving electricity in that context, but never even begin to think about the equivalent value for, say, a Tesla Y vs. a Rivian? In fact a Rivian has the same "green cred" to most buyers as does a Model 3. Yet the same person would chastise someone for running incandescent bulbs or for leaving the lights on when you leave the house.

I'm certain that the difference in electrical energy usage between a month of driving a Rivian vs say a Model 3 overshadows a year of using LEDs bulbs in your house vs incandescents. Yet no one even thinks about it.

People are incredibly illogical when it comes to EVs.
Okay? What's the takeaway? This is just a list of assertions that technology is hard for some people to use.

I have first hand experience in this issue.

A felony record, in the context of passing a tech background check, is the following:

Does the word 'felony' appear on your record? It's all just string matching.

Felony misdemeanor? I'm a felon.

Felony misdemeanor as a juvenile? I'm a felon.

Felony for Adult Bad Things? Not me, but maybe someone else.

Either way, you're done for 7 years. I still wait to tell friends and family until after the background check passes... 15 years later.

Most background checks (basically all) though are local to the states you list, so if you say you've only ever lived in Texas, but your conviction was in Oregon, I think you'd still pass as long as it wasn't a federal level conviction. I know this because I've scrutinized every single background check I've ever had.

The experience will jade you and will leave a permanent bad taste in your mouth. Don't forget they need software developers in Latin America and Europe.

This is not necessarily true. Speaking from experience as a DUI felon (no other charges) I have traveled to multiple countries in the EU, UK, Thailand, Costa Rica, Mexico and Dominican Republic. The only country that has denied me entry is Canada.

This likely depends on the felony of course. A DUI in which no harm/damage occurred is probably the lesser of the felonies.
Another rule was no external dependencies

I guess you could from Java itself write a new binary and then run that binary, but it would be against the spirit of the challenge.
> Can't you use the same bathrooms in ICE vehicles? Are they EV only? Does your EV include a half-bath?

No idea if it's right, but I think they are saying that places with EV chargers tend to be nicer than gas stations. And maybe ICE drivers can stop at those places, but are they really going to make an extra stop when they already have to get gas?

I'd point out that this is probably a temporary phenomenon, due to the relative rarity of EVs and their status as luxury items. Once everyone has them and they're cheap, I'll bet the EV charging stations' bathrooms will be just as bad.

Still agree it's not a great idea for any practical purpose when once could just use an RPi instead. TBH one of the reasons I enjoy the ESP32 is not having to think about an operating system; it reminds me of hacking around on 8 bit home computers in the 1980s, only better.
Python one-file-packagers such as PyInstaller typically use the technique of shoving the entire Python standard library into the executable as a zip file; Python can natively import scripts straight out of .zip files (zipimport) so you just point `sys.path` at the executable and voila, self-contained Python in a single binary. (Note that this doesn't immediately solve the problem of using native code dynamic libraries, which usually have to get unpacked anyway or use hacky custom loaders).

One year, for DEF CON CTF, we had to write all of our exploits as single ELF binaries targeting a minimal OS (DARPA CGC) with only seven system calls (exit, read, write, select, malloc, free, getrandom). Since writing exploits in C sucks, I packaged Python for the OS instead, creating a "virtual filesystem" for including Python code (including standard library) as a static chunk of data and implementing open/read/write on top of the VFS. This was really quite successful for us, as we were able to write very high-level Python code for a full, functioning Python interpreter in our exploits.

You sound like a version of me with deeper pockets. We have a Volkswagen eUp! as an EV, which is a lot of fun to drive and does all the inner city commute. Then I have a station wagon that I bought for 15000€ in almost new condition, which is used for all longer trips or cases when stuff needs to be transported. Sometimes I drive it on short trips only to not let it sit around for longer than two weeks. I would go for a PHEV, but currently I have other financial priorities.

That sounds like a Porsche 911 Carrera T, at least that would be my midlife crisis choice if I had the money.
No one is claiming free speech as a defense as far as I'm aware. Free speech is entering the conversation because Elon has made it one of his personal North Stars and this case seems to make him look hypocritical.

In the US workers have rights about what they can say and do in the workplace. Labor activism (agitating for a union) is protected. IANAL but reasonable criticism of the company may be protected to some degree as well.

After having read some of the comments on Pascal here -- fellow HNers, what's your view on Pascal as a teaching/introductory language in 2023, for children aged 10+? Mostly thinking of FreePascal, but TurboPascal in DOSBox/FreeDOS/SvarDOS is also a possibility.

I'm also thankful for references to "timeless" Pascal books or online teaching materials that would be accessible for a 10+ year old kid who is fine with reading longer texts.

We bought a new primary car last April, it was a toss up between an electric and a petrol/diesel, and we opted for a diesel car in the end.

Reasons: range anxiety, and war anxiety.

I want a Tesla, but the problem is that an electric car becomes a giant paperweight in an emergency.

We have a secondary, small electric car and we use it for short local trips. There’s been more than a few instances where a lapse resulted in not being able to use it because it wasn’t charged fully. And don’t get me started on the state of public charges, it’s a mess.

Don’t get me wrong, I like electric, but edge cases are real and important and so they must be planned for.
Like most things in life, the edge cases are the ones you should prepare for.
One person's "naive" is another's "statistical conclusion after having worked with enough self-taught or bootcamp-educated people".

EV chargers tend to be in places you actually want to be, such as shopping centers with decent restaurants and coffee shops. Yes, you absolutely can make two stops in a ICE vehicle - a gas station, then an optional stop to visit a shopping center. But people tend to stay where they stop then get back on the road. It’s not the power source that’s being discussed, it’s where the existing refueling infrastructure exists today. Reality is gas stations exist because gasoline is a noxious toxic pollutant that tends to explosively combust at worst and pollute the soil with benzene at best so you don’t generally mix it with a lot of other use. EV chargers are none of these things, and so can be placed literally anywhere in existing infrastructure like shopping centers and malls.

I agree, I have no issue taking long distance trips in my EV. My cars range is about 5 hours of driving, after which I am more than happy to get out at a charging station with a nice restaurant and eat some food, then drive to my stopping point for the day. I’m not really sure being able to drive 10 hours with a 5 minute stop for gas is a benefit over driving 10 hours with a 25 minute stop for a charge, especially if I do the 5 minute gas refuel then drive to the restaurant with the EV charger to eat for another 25 minutes. That’s 5 minutes of extra time to get gas rather than refueling at the same time.
