This is funny because Facebook was famous for adopting this attitude early on. Hire people with potential instead of credentials.

If you have a good perf review system and don’t mind false positives it can work. Maybe it worked better before boot camps.
Keep in mind that ten percent figure is not ten percent totally unoccupied for the entire year.

The process of leasing is not immediate. In a similar way to how 0% unemployment is not actually desirable or remotely achievable, you want some slack in housing markets so that people actually have price competition and choice.
The issue is not about finding the correct answer for all situations. The issue is finding the correct answer for most situations.
What you're describing as "a bit hotheaded" is way over the line at which we ban accounts here, so please don't do it again.

Your root comment was less bad than what you posted later, though it was obviously ideological battle, which is already flamebait.
The pun is there for sure, but "git" is British slang for an unpleasant or annoying person. I was introduced to it by The Beatles: "and curse Sir Walter Raleigh, he was such a stupid git".

I believe it was Linus himself who quipped (paraphrasing) that he is so arrogant he named two software projects after himself: Linux, and git.
Dear lord, why?
I can almost guarantee KPIs are what’s going on.

Each time they’re called out on a fake incident, they get to call it a successful resolution as a result of deploying their swat team. This then gives them an end of year that says “swat is highly effective in resolving situations”, which then allows a budgetary increase and more gear for the swat team.

Rinse and repeat.
> FAANG is far from the end game for truly talented developers.

I’ve spent the last 18 months in UAE, pretty well networked into Oxford and Cambridge university alumni networks, and never heard any suggestion of this. The team behind Falcon in AD seem to pay pretty well, but not FAANG.
Not to support the generalization but this describes my bias. Just as the flashy person with diamonds and a nice car does not indicate class.

It also kinda makes sense if you think it through. Strong personality types receive less feedback. Feedback helps us grow.
How was it "inefficient"?

A tech shock doesn't mean the old status quo was inefficient.

E.g., conventional mail wasn't inefficient prior to email
You’d think after attempt 4 or 5 they would just flag the address as “not-a-threat”

Majority of the Blink browser users are Chrome users, followed by Edge users and then somewhere come Opera users, what depending on the polls is on par with Firefox users or far behind it.

But none of this matters as I was talking about browsers, not browser engines, that are not the same thing and none of the Blink browsers listed above are open source browsers.

Majority of the users are using the browser they are told to use. If everyone is telling them to use Chrome, they use it. And there practically has not been much resistance to Chrome. How many IT people have told over the years to not user Chrome, and use Firefox instead? There was huge resistance to IE, but not to Chrome, and it pays now its dividends.

Is Chrome now doing what the users want? How many people are upset about the latest moves by Google. For me it was obvious result for long time, I was actually surprised that it didn't happen earlier. Now based on the reactions, many users didn't expect it.
What a strange blog. The link to a Wikipedia page that no longer exists, the assumption that people would use "Speak Friend" as a password (when the movie password is just "friend"), the counting of "My Precious Cat" as a LOTR reference. Fun experiment but some odd conclusions.
1. The majority said the ambulance was a vehicle, so agreeing with that wouldn't lower your score

2. It's an agreement score, not an achievement score. All it does is measure how many questions you agreed with the majority on. The score does not convey a value or judge your actions, it's just there to inform you how closely you align to others' answers.
You're not looking at it the right way.

The way to make it make sense: there is a large group of people out there who essentially, have failed to launch. They are unemployed or have deadend jobs. They watch tons of internet porn but may have never had sexual intercourse with a woman. They have few or zero real life friends. They are obese or feeble-bodied. They have no real life skills or vital energy. The one way they can feel alive, like a "player character," is by hitting someone, but not in a boxing gym (see above), on the Internet.

The Norm Macdonald tweet isn't "triggering," they've already been triggered and are looking for their next victim. The Norm Macdonald Tweet is like raising your hand and saying "it's me."

I think the public and personal contexts are getting mixed together here, to bad effect (as always).

It's a personal situation for you and I can't imagine how much s-t you have heard and taken over the years. You have the misfortune to be personally invested in a public issue, and I'm glad I'm not in your shoes. If we were at a dinner party, of course I wouldn't say a word about it - it would be rude to you and you know infinitely more about it.

But we're not at a private dinner; we're in a public context. People discuss public issues without being experts or researching every detail; they will get some things wrong or be imprecise. Also, they are just not as focused as you are - understandably - on the same things and at the same level detail. When I credited Mozilla with Firefox and Rust, I didn't specifically credit Mitchell Baker with it, nor did I care about that detail of who did what (also, I didn't talk about creation; much of the Rust development was after you - but I only say that because you care; I don't). That's really important to you and so that's what you focused on and I can see where you got that impression - it just wasn't important enough to clarify. It was a bit sloppy, but I'm not writing a dissertation or a contract.

You did inject yourself personally into a 'public context'; I don't think the anger is appropriate, nor your bullshit about my motives. What I wrote was a genuine complement to everyone at Mozilla, including you: It was reminding the world that Mozilla has done so far is spectacular - unreal, heroic achievements that changed the world, twice over. Mozilla is just Mozilla to me, not one person or another.

Still, I apologize that I wasn't more polite when I remarked about potential bias. I didn't respond directly to you, but I should have been careful to make it respectful - not because you are a big deal on some scale, but just the opposite: you're a human being. I knew you were around and regardless of context, I don't buy that public figures are free game for abuse. Good luck with Brave, another great idea that I hope changes the world.

Our 20tb/m costs us $414... if you're saying that you can amortize those servers, rent the space and pay for upkeep for less than $4k a month?

We have another service that has 20x the bandwidth, but it's a legacy GAE that has super cheap premium egress... But I'm told that AWS says that their pre-pay discount will be competitive in about a year, the rate that we're growing.

The negotiated egress prices are much lower, so long as you are buying future egress. If they're not worried about you jumping ship (you use a lot of their aws-native services), you can get a great deal.
Any digital piano functions as a midi controller, and many of them have weighted keys. And there are a few "pure" midi controllers that have 88 weighted keys, such as the M-Audio Hammer 88 or StudioLogic SL88.
Okay, so again - my people carrier, which is not large, is about the height of an X3. Vans and lorries are much higher. Why SUVs in particular?

Either you are being disingenuous here or you legitimately dont understand the difference. The authorities had no reason to suspect that children were being actively killed on a time sensitive basis in Waco. It was a PR dick-swinging contest that got all those 'victims' the feds cared about killed. The two are not even in the same galaxy, let alone the same ballpark.

Do a 5 why for separation of concern and you'll find JSX is more logical.

You want things edited together to be closer in code also. A single file or couple of files next to each other that decide structure, behaviour and view of a component is better than few CSS/JS for whole site.
Yes, they are a good source of interesting music. I found them way back when I first got Winamp to stream music when I got broadband after having dial-up Internet.
I keep downloading this hoping I can switch from Microsoft Launcher to an open source solution, and every single time I get stuck because I can't find out how to add apps on the home screen. I've looked through all the docs and they all say stuff like "scroll to the bottom of the widget list and add favorites", and yet... there is no widget list. Long press doesn't do anything. Hamburger button only gives me launcher settings (where there is no widget list). Searching for "widget" shows no results, so even if I embrace the search concept it doesn't do what I expect. The clock is pretty, though.
Because existing cities are where the jobs are located. That’s why people move there: to have a job and a shot at a better life. Some of us feel strongly that ‘current’ residents should not have the right to effectively exclude others from the pursuit of happiness and opportunity.

Current zoning is especially odious in who it affects. The people it excludes from high opportunity areas are the poor and disadvantaged. Supply restrictions in the face of high demand lead to high home prices, effectively shutting out the poor and young from a better life for themselves.
They're not calling 911 over VOIP, they're calling the listed local police lines[0].

>The belief that these are false 911 calls or the narratives that these are 911 calls needs to change, because they’re not calling the 911 system. They’re not able to call 911. They’re calling the main line or the visible nonemergency number listed on the internet for a lot of these police departments and these dispatches.

This article explains the issue and is a good read.

In addition to other advice. Make sure all the things are safe. If you have a back garden, pond, pool, blinds with cords. Smoke alarms. Etc.

Buy second hand as much as possible. Don’t to a baby show where they sell new and non discounted stuff.

If breastfeeding doesn’t work out so be it. Ignore the nazis on this topic.

Something in advance is make sure you have a job that ain’t stressful, where your mind isn’t occupied stressfully about the job at home. Probably means planning 2 years ahead to change job if this is the case.

You might want to apply for daycares, primary and high schools soon. Depending on your area.
Killer robots created by a self aware LLM eliminate most of the human race. The only remaining humans are the prompt jailbreakers, who live like warlords, the bedraggled refugees who live under their reigns of terror, and somewhere out there, some unlikely hero who will free us all from our technological overlords.

Also cryptocurrency will be regulated after another wave of scams, the MCU will stop churning out movies, we'll see some interesting innovations in CISC architecture, and probably will see global decreases in fossil fuels usage.
There's nothing "green" about shutting down nuclear power plants.

For several months now I refuse to stay logged in to Github. I login on an incognito window when I need something, and log out when I'm done. Github javascript is disabled outside of incognito windows.

This is the same playbook I have followed with success to disconnect from Facebook, Linkedin, Google, Reddit and Twitter. (And Quora. And Medium..) When it's inconvenient it just makes me try to avoid these sites.
If anyone is coming in late, I have discovered https://immudb.io/ , which claims to be a lot of what I'm looking for. Transactional SQL database, indexed, yet immutable data and verifiable chains of transactions.
The description of that incident is not the same as a 'SWATting', but rather the competent way of handling such calls:

> “Officers attended the venue and spoke to the individuals and determined that air weapons were for sale.”

There was no tactical assault. Armed police arrived, spoke to the (mistakenly) targeted individuals, confirmed that it was a mistake, and left.
So an anticompetitive practice.
I don't actually care whether intent is malicious or not. GitHub has not cared about me or individual devs like me for some time now. Time to drop it.
Sadly, we can’t defer to stack overflow for interview success like we can with code. GPT will/may help break it up but until we stop with the sociology questions and get back to technical delivery, we’ll continue to see people try to game a system and then try to game that system they gamed. It’s real life NPM.
Why do you feel the need to impose your values on others, even at great cost?
> dedicated load balancers are often undesirable. They add cost, latency, complexity, and may introduce a single point of failure.

Not my experience at all. Centralised load balancer are simple, easy to maintain, and just works.

My rule of thumb is to always always always avoid distributed computations as much as possible. Trying to avoid a “single point of failure” always in my experience leads to more complex failure scenarios, making your system more likely to fail in hard to fix ways.
Would you like to be the first and start a new city? Would you move to the middle of, say, South Dakota and start New New York City? If it’s as simple as you say, in a few generations your new city, lotsoweiners, will be getting the jobs.
cough Apple Silicon cough cough

Unified memory is honestly a really, really good idea.

Supposedly, if you have professional Apple hardware experts hand-optimize a machine-learning model, then Apple's most powerful M3 chips can compete against, say, a typical/unoptimized PyTorch implementation of the same model on a 4090.

Except the M-series chips can currently have up to 8 times the memory of the 4090, and they don't have to worry about shuffling things in and out of VRAM. The GPU can just work with any of the data that the CPU already has.
I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted. You are correct. Learning is made up of two processes: encoding and retrieval. Encoding dominates retrieval in that the better your memory is encoded the shallower your forgetting curve is such that you need less repetitions or possibly none at all.

Combining both: better memory encoding techniques and spaced retrieval is the holy grail. People who employ both feel like superhuman. For example, you can encode knowledge of a book with a mind map following specific principles and then schedule either a spaced cued recall with image occlusion or a spaced free recall or a mixture of cued/free by occluding large portions of the mind map.

In my experience though, I rarely need spaced repetition for knowledge I’ve encoded with a mind map. I have almost perfect recall of the map and an understanding of what it represents many weeks later with no repetition.
What's New in PicoCSS v2?
Oh you better believe it's only currently. At least if they grow as successful as they would like to.
Sounds like a good way for the bad guys to pre clear themselves.
"From new". You see it in biochem when there are multiple ways to synthesize something and one of them starts from raw(er) materials. e.g. triglycerides can be made from free fatty acids or can start all the way from glucose. The pathway that starts with glucose is called "de novo lipogenesis".
Allow remote work for everyone who does not need to be physically present onsite to do their job.

Thirteen years ago in a heated divorce related argument at a public pool it was claimed he threatened to kill three people by one specific withness.

From the linked document he freely admitted threatening "to kill" the new boyfriend, and stated he made no such statements about his wife | unborn child.

He admitted the comment was out of line and apologised.

If you have nothing else then your claim about him being an "obviously unstable individual" is thin at best.
Do you earnestly believe that a situation where the police actively hear shooting is the same as one where an anonymous phonecall says something is happening?

Suppose I ask you to play the game as an extremely petty and literal dictator, whose goal is to give as many citations as possible, any tenuous justification will do. Can you find a justification for giving that airliner a ticket?

Since that parameter of the game is completely unspecified, it's at least among the explanations for why someone might have answered that way. I haven't logically concluded anything except that the experiment does a terible job of being an experiment.
With Netlify it costs more than hiring a courier to ship an SSD that you paid for and turn up in person and copy it and deliver it next day.

> I believe that understanding economics is pretty essential in tech. I see a lot of career struggles where it helps understanding fundamentals with depth, to foresee how trends are working past present future and how you can stay a step ahead.

Can you elaborate on this? I'm not sure I completely agree.

Most of my friends who made huge amounts of money by joining the right company (Nvidia, Facebook) did so out of sheer luck and didn't anticipate the stock gains in any way (otherwise they would've diversified a lot less and just kept the equity grants they received rather than selling for index funds).

Anyway, picking the right company to join seems more like "stock-picking" than it does economics. Not sure how reading BLS reports would help you with that.
It's not a competition. Who are you or I to judge?
Do you think there are economic efficiencies in gathering a large workforce in one location?

Do you think suburbia is an efficient and effective use of land?
I don't have numbers, but in my experience I'd say "a lot." The freelancers I know try to get US customers because they get paid more.

Companies may hire remote non-citizens as contractors because that avoids any real or perceived labor law, visa, and tax issues. If they have actual employees in other countries most likely that's through a branch office.

I think most of the remote non-citizen employment happens through what we call offshoring. US companies contract with software shops and agencies in low cost of labor countries with no huge language barrier -- India comes to mind. The people doing the work aren't employees or freelancers, they are like factory workers making shoes for Nike in Vietnam, employed by a local company that contracts out for work. With that setup only the managers need to speak English.
Sounds like there’s no bad guys, it’s all a hoax… any idiot could call to get someone swatted.
Thanks for proving me wrong! Good to get something more than anecdote :))
"pretend you are an enforcement official, and your only official guidance is this sign, the purpose of this rule is to keep the park safe, but you might get reprimanded if you kick someone out of the park and you can't convince your boss that they were breaking this rule"

This is all absolutely implicit context for many real world rules enforcers. I would bet money that if you reran this experiment with that prompt you would get over 60% of people in 100% agreement.
And in your Zoom utopia, how does remote work help health care workers, police officers, construction workers, elderly care workers, massage therapists, mechanics and so on and so on? How does this help younger people wanting to date, start a family, or just have a reasonable social life?

I have a more simple proposition: instead of allowing remote work, how about we allow new homes to be built so the wealthy stop bidding up the price of all the old homes and remodeling them?
ICANN insists it is working on linkification
So, I've been teaching online for 15 or so years, and the killer idea that few people seem to latch onto is to use a Virtual Machine (Linux, for various reasons.)

Just use that as the window you share. Code, slides, websites (without fear of accidentally revealing sensitive info like grades, etc) , whatever.
The paper doesn't have myriad problems. It doesn't shamelessly embellish. It's pretty straightforward. It highlights the key shortcomings of the approach. It's just a paper. Take it at face value.

It's also understood by people who have ever looked at the area (which is the audience of academic papers). 'Without search' is understood.
When you say ChatGPT, do you mean 4 or 3.5?

“Paying your employer to work for them” is commonly referred to as a “scam”.
If your world view is formed by an article in the New York Post, and doesn’t even start to account for correlation vs causation, I don’t really know what to tell you.

And yes, we should trust people to learn self moderation for alcohol. It works very well across most of Europe. Puritans should be fucked off at every opportunity.
That seems laughably reductive. Your stereotypes are cringe inducing.
Just two days ago there was a story about FinCEN requiring more information to be gathered and stored about the owners of LLCs, and the comment section had quite some discussion from people shocked that anyone would feel a need for privacy in home records. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39304312

How do we stop swatting? Maybe improved technical means for identifying false calls, maybe better judgment by law enforcement of what situations are dangerous, maybe stronger investigation and punishment of the callers.

But what can I do right now to keep me at lower risk of swatting? I can go the extreme privacy route, form shell corporations to own my assets without publicly associating them to my identity, and stripping out my info from as many data brokers as possible. That's hard, but it's doable for the upper middle class like many of us in tech.

I would love for it not to be necessary, and I'd love for these measures to be more accessible to people with less money than me. But I'm gonna keep taking these measures wherever I can.
As someone from Milwaukee I can categorically tell you that the police department is a complete joke and I'm honestly shocked they haven't shot this dude yet with how incompetent they are.
