Because the two aren't connected. They do want to design school curricula... "to make it better". But they're neither smart enough nor quite so self-aware that it's designed to deliberately lower fertility rates. One might say they're doing it subconsciously, but that seems more like mumbo jumbo to me.
I'm still fuzzy on why employee profit sharing is anathema.

Record profits and wage stagnation. For decades. Coincidence?

Imagine if just 5% of those buybacks went to employees. That'd be (more) fair, right?
That doesn't mean there will not be massive insurance claims. It just means that the US government will foot the bill for fast replacement and will still pursue as much compensation as possible in the long run.
I didn't because of what you mentioned: I don't want to break all my stuff. But I would also be happy to hear what others have to say.
I was recently applying during the summer of '23 for roles in The Netherlands. I was on about 14 interviews before I landed my current role. Company #5 offered me a role, but then changed the position from lead to engineer and cut the salary significantly after telling me I had the role. I'm not sure if it's just because of European holidays or the bad economy, but replies could take weeks and there were very few roles available. I'm seeing more roles these days and a trickle of recruiters reaching out, but 6 months ago it was barren. I put a lot of the failed interviews due to me having to cast the net wide to get any interview. Times have definitely changed. London however still seems active and hungry.
DECT is a surprisingly complex and capable system, which has been used for metropolitan cellular service.

https://www.rcrwireless.com/19980105/archived-articles/telec... [1998]

In the DECT Wikipedia page:

There has been only one major installation of DECT for public access: in early 1998 Telecom Italia launched a wide-area DECT network known as "Fido" after much regulatory delay, covering major cities in Italy. The service was promoted for only a few months and, having peaked at 142,000 subscribers, was shut down in 2001.

142K subscribers isn't quite your kitchen and den phone any more. :)
Nice. Where do you get the job listings from?
I did reply to the comment, you didn't even ask a question. What is your point? Also, I will vaguely attack people. I don't care. Stupid people and things annoy me and I don't have a filter for it. Sue me.
Yeah, share "1984" and get ready to be banned from Google because guess what Winston does with Julia in the novel?

I don't think that's it. A lot of people find nature-—including barren landscapes--beautiful, and find immersion in it to be psychologically rejuvenating. Protection of ecosystems and other living things is, of course, important. But that's not the only reason to protect at least parts of the natural world from human development.

I don't claim that that these considerations should always (or even often) be decisive. But there is more going on than just resistance to change. Development of a pristine natural space destroys something of value, even when that space is barren. But, of course, it may create something of greater value.

Another dimension may be the sense that the human touch feels, in some sense, irreversible. So one might think we should be conservative when disturbing an environment that has been formed only by natural processes over millions of years. Once humans start digging and building there, we can't truly restore it to its former state. Maybe this is closer to mere resistance to change. But I think it's worth taking more seriously whether there is more to it than that. It's a much harder argument, though, when it's an environment that no living thing will ever really experience otherwise.

Edit: I (and, I think, many others) believe that we would enjoy the experience of gazing out onto a martian or lunar landscape, generalizing from our experiences with environments on earth. But I suppose it's interesting to contemplate the possibility that we're wrong. I guess I can't rule out the possibility that some aspect of the experience on the moon or Mars could prevent it from scratching the same itch as, for example, a desert on earth.

Edit 2: I recognize that these musings have basically nothing to do with TFA, which discusses scientists' concern over the potential destruction of sites with significant scientific value. They're certainly not just talking about the pretty views.
I think Girard passes muster in that the theory is often useful, in conjunction with others - that is, it passes the "Condorcet barrier of utility" and one can use it as part of a toolbox to explicate certain human behaviors.

Taking it as a unified theory doesn't work, just as any -ism taken alone to explain the whole damn thing doesn't work and is often counterproductive.
For example - and I would be grateful if someone with knowledge of Girard would explain it - how does one bridge the Underwear Gnomes reasoning of say #12 in the blog:

Step 1 - We point out how we all act out of mimicry

Step 2 - ???

Step 3 - We "escape the endless cycles of reciprocal violence by rising above our desire for vengeance and working instead to delegitimize the urge to punish and scapegoat."

I don't think that, say, rust, offers any explicit support for any particular linux distro?

Swift here are basically saying they'll endeavour to make sure it works on those particular distros, but in general you're probably going to install Swift on Linux the same way you install rust; via your distro's package manager, and supported by your distro, not the Swift or Rust project.

I wish companies would stop doing that. Zoom(.us) shouldn't have bought zoom.com and Notion(.so) shouldn't have bought notion.com. Not only could they have saved a few million bucks for themselves (& by extension their users) on something which even to this day serves no purpose no other than redirection, but they could also have helped set precedents, reducing pressure on future companies to acquire .com domains.
It's a very easy experiment. Feel free to use yourself as a test subject.

Knowing your options and determining potential risk to your backup plan isn’t paranoia.

My car already has the few things I need in the trunk. All I need to do is check the weather and choose what clothes to wear. Having a road atlas for the entire United States means I can navigate without a phone. (Which has happened.) Having an extra hoodie and a pair of old boots means I can walk several miles in snow.

All of these items have been used or badly needed the past.

If I was starting a company, I’d do similar things and I wouldn’t worry about failure and would take risks, even serious ones, with confidence.
> Ahh yes, nothing treats heart hypo perfusion quite like forcing the heart into overdrive and massive vasoconstriction. Why is the US so far behind on this???

This is actually quite reasonable, especially if it’s paired with an existing defibrillator. Epinephrine is part of the advanced, cardiac life support algorithm, but it’s just not used in a pen format, since ACLS is typically performed in the hospital setting.

Edit:

Recently, in the news, there was a discussion of using ECMO in the setting of patients who would require CPR. Take a look at this article for more: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/27/magazine/what-to-know-ecp...
When I was hiring yes it absolutely was something I looked at. If a candidate had only 1-2 year stints at a bunch of places, why would I expect my experience with them to be any different?

And yes, it there is definitely a mindset that jumping companies frequently is the best path to higher salary. There is even some truth to that, people who don't know you may value perceived potential higher than the company that knows you well. That said, if you do it too much you do risk ending up in the "jumps ship too frequently" pool and you'll start to be overlooked.

I wasn't looking for 5-10 years from an employee, I don't think that's realistic today. But somewhere in 2-4 for sure. Jumping after 4 years is pretty common as it's a frequent vesting cliff, even at large companies.

We want to do computer experiments instead of real life experiments to discover or improve chemicals and materials. The current way of doing computer experiments is really really slow and takes a lot of computers. We now have much faster ways of doing the same computer experiments by first doing it the slow way a bunch of time to train an machine learning model. Then, with the trained model, we can do the same simulations but way way faster. Along the way there are tons of technical challenges that don't show up in LLMs or Visual machine learning.

If there is anything unclear you're interested in just let know. In my heart I feel I'm still just a McDonald's fry cook and feel like none of this is as scary as it might seem :)
Agree with this notion. Being a "systems engineer" in the past was akin to a sysadmin- jack of all trades. Sure, with experience you specialise and you need to make that shine on linkedin and the like. But now any use of the word "engineer" relates to dev/full stack work, including understandings of cloud technologies.

However. If you _Are_ a seasoned "sysadmin", you can pickup the cloud stuff. It's a different paradigm but if you have skill, you can do it. Time to learn new stuff!
I've heard other people talk about this dynamic. Companies have generally made it very easy to apply. Especially in the current market this means you have increasingly desperate candidates sending out hundreds or even thousands of resumes. Which in turn means companies are applying simple heuristics or "AI" to massively filter the number of resumes that a human even glances at. Which of course reinforces the cycle because it becomes a massive numbers game to even reach a person.
I mean it is extremely likely it is a problem with the company. We don't know how many "a rash of folks" is but sounds like at least 3 or 4 and at that point it's not just bad luck. Most people don't want to work somewhere for a year and leave, they do it because something better comes along.
I wonder if that means that each neuron could act as a mini turning machine
It sounds like Amazon (in Poland at least) has been playing it fast and loose with "eventual consistency" but violated the law by basing legally binding claims on the unreliable data. Selling goods that are already out of stock only to then cancel the order later, or indicating a false time pressure to purchase in order to meet a delivery date, etc, all sound like they could as well be genuine mistakes. Amazon just happens to be too big for that to be a valid excuse.
Seems everyone is making guesses or assumptions, so I'll just ask - why do you believe new hires are leaving so quickly? Have any of them explained why? If so, what is their feedback like?
Aren't epipens used sometimes to restart the heart after cardiac arrest, though?

I don't think it's the first tool from the toolbox, but I'm pretty sure epinephrine has use here.
Even 100% accurate precision weapons are only as good as the target information supplied to them. Bad Intel and misidentified targets are very real factors that can cause a precision weapon to strike something they shouldn't.
Gotcha. I think the indie community could find it fun and useful - reminds me of a single spot that aggregates those occasional HN posts: "what are you using to build your 1-person startup, hobby, side project?"

However, if you're planning on monetizing: the competition is fierce. The industry is called Technographics. For example, Wappalyzer can segment millions of companies using thousands of tools (here's their list: https://www.wappalyzer.com/technologies/). You'll see 40 A/B testing tools, 104 Live Chat tools, 63 Issue Trackers. It's intense.

Edit: I just saw Twelve.Tools. Even though you didn't know the websites I mentioned, it's clear you DEFINITELY know technographics! Great site.
The customers pay for it, through higher prices. Those paying in cash and receiving nothing in return suffer the most. But in general everyone apart from Visa & co loses.

Visa's stock price hasn't taken off the way it did for no reason, it's a genius business model since the majority of people don't even understand it. They think they get cashback, they don't understand where all those fees come from that visa earns. Credit cards the way they exist today are one of the biggest legalized scams in history.
I came across the IPVM project a while ago and this is cool to see it getting used. Is there a similar effort that uses containers instead of WASM? I'd love to write a json workflow filled out with containers and similar use of "this process needs the output of that that process"
Fair, I do think that languages are tools and we should select the ones that are appropriate for a task. But that doesn’t make every tool useful, especially that languages do depend on network effects quite a lot, unlike a hammer. There was no need to introduce a language just like many others, and Go - in my opinion - fails to carve out a novel niche of the PL scene, that would have some legitimacy of existing. Rust with all its flaws is novel, there is no other memory safe low-level language (disregarding exotic/research languages). That’s a hugely important niche, so its “hype” is warranted (even though I’m not a rust fan). For Go, even if we limit ourselves to AOT compiled managed languages, there is C#, Java (with Graal), D, Haskell, OCaml, etc.

As for your mentioned advantages:

> reduces cognitive load

In what way? Please don’t come with the usual marketing that “every line is easy to understand blablah”, because otherwise we would be programming in assembly. Too little abstraction is just as bad as too much.

> dead code

Most AOT languages do that

> forces error handling

It’s literally C’s errno forced on you by the compiler. I hope we can agree that C’s solution is very far from what one would mean by good error handling. It hides the actual business logic, while not even forcing you to handle it (a random if block is not error handling in itself), and accustoms people to just skip over these.

> mindful what you initialize and use

That’s only a problem in C and C++. Also, I don’t even agree it does a good job at it, it basically has multiple nulls for example for no sane reason.
With the limited stock the only option I found is to locate a low markup dealer and either go on their list or just keep calling them.

I get that, but by the same token, a thoughtful app maker can provide that option to you today (I have apps on my device that expicitly have that option).

Honestly, if this rule were in place, that App Store rejection would make even /more/ sense — it’s even /more/ cumbersome to stitch together a login flow by redirecting to another entirely separate app (the default browser).
I was expecting that Visa/Mastercard would use a percentage of the existing fees, not add "more fees from the merchant to cover the rewards".
Terraform may seem bad, but cloud-specific solutions like Cloud Formation are even worse...
There is a minority of the country that is over represented in the media that are as you describe but the vast majority are not like that. Also, making vast generalizations about a huge diverse population of people is generally bad form.
Yes, and I'd still argue that psychology's span of breadth is more encompassing. Note that I both studied economics at uni, and have spent considerable time since exploring both the history and current branches of the field. I'm rather familiar with it and my criticisms are rather based on that familiarity.

The relevant questions are:

1. Which field of study encompasses more elements, economics or psychology?

2. Are these fields intersecting, and if so, is one a proper subset of the other or not?

In a Venn diagram sense, how do the sets relate?

Psychology includes numerous branches, fields, divisions, and foci, of which choice determination is only a very small element. See for example:

<https://www.simplypsychology.org/branches-of-psychology.html>

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology#Major_schools_of_th...> (specifically schools of thought).

Contrast branches of economics. Numerous, but ... somewhat less expansive as compared with psychology:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_economics#Branches_...>

Note that psychology, economics, sociology, political science, and anthropology all emerged out of what had previously been moral philsophy largely during the 19th century. Divisions and focus are somewhat arbitrary and strongly influenced by institutions and other pressures --- in the case of economics, political policy influences are notoriously strong, though other disciplines aren't immune from same. But if I had to matryoshka the two, I'd nest econ within psych.
Once the market believes that gold or other precious metals will imminently be returned from space, the price will plummet, making many destructive mining operations unprofitable.

As a tangent, have you seen that gold rush show on discovery? Taking acres of lush and beautiful Klondike Forest and bulldoze it barren so they can maybe get a few oz of gold. It's terrible.
This makes me wonder, would "mine the entire moon away" require new physics or simply require a monumental effort?
R1 non-ivy engineering-focused university. I was teaching undergraduate math. Non-tenure track. I taught a lot during grad school[0], and then taught some more as an adjunct professor while I was looking for tenure track jobs. I taught everything from pre-calculus algebra and trigonometry up through undergraduate linear algebra. I taught a couple of 100+ student sections, but the majority of my classes were 20-30 people.

This was a decade ago, so my memory is a little fuzzy, but talking about students this way was pretty common at my university. So much so that a committee was formed to investigate the underlying problems. The committee found a few.

1. The math placement exam was trivially easy to cheat.

2. Students were encouraged to cheat on the math placement exam because the college of engineering only accepted students who placed into calculus or higher in their first semester.

3. The university as a whole scored freakishly high on student entitlement metrics. E.g. lots of kids with wealthy parents who assumed paying for college (as opposed to scholarships or loans) implies they deserve to pass classes with minimal effort.

To address the first two problems we switched to in-person math placement exams with ID checks and negotiated with the college of engineering to see to what degree they could budge on their policies. I suspect the third issue remains a problem.

[0] My university was a bit unusual in that grad students actually taught classes, not just TA'd. Helped keep class sizes down when you had dozens of extra lecturers who worked for peanuts.
If this isn’t a recession I fear it’s just the new normal of being an employee in the modern world.
Tech stocks have literally never been higher and yet they continue to lay off % of staff. Ridiculous.
Sounds about right. Hiring pipeline is probably too long to guarantee anything, but most people don't work out, so recruiters want to keep good leads in the pipeline as long as possible, just in case something comes up.
Never attribute to malice that you can attribute to (in this case organizational) incompetence.
I run endlessh on the port 2222 and I configured fail2ban to redirect the source ip addresses who did X failed attempts from the dest port 22 to the dest port 2222 transparently.
I use the table NAT and prerouting to achieve that, you can use ipset to match the source ip addresses.
This rings true!
What I want is something similar to the switch from lexical to non-lexical lifetimes; but for enums and pattern matching. `@` is a construct depending on lexical scoping

In following code, it would be nice if the second match could use the early return from the first match to avoid extra checks. It would also be nice if it worked across function boundaries. It would help removing boilerplate conversions or some `unreachable!()` branches.

enum Auth { Guest, User(u32), Bot(u32) }

fn check_permissions(Auth &auth) -> Result<Permission, PermissionError> {
match auth {
Auth::Guest => return PermissionError::Unauthorized,
Auth::User(_) | Auth::Bot(_) => { ... }
// ...
match auth {
Auth::User(_) => {...}
Auth::Bot(_) => {...}
// At this point the compiler should know that `Auth::Guest` is not possible
}
Well the other part is that a big part of share buybacks are simply "sanitizing" the dilution from stock based comps(which are increasingly the way that most people get paid).

Intel SBC was 3.2 billion in 2023, and there haven't been any buybacks I think the last 2-3 years? Quite a bit of dilution which doesn't really make long term investors happy.
I can confirm, Eastern/Central Europe devs are phenomenal value for money.

Are you giving 5-10% raises every year to keep folks in line with market rate for new hires? Are you giving large bonuses that meaningfully affect people's lives? I've worked places where the "bonuses" were $500 or $1000 for people paid $150k/yr.

Very few people interview thinking "I'm going to take all the info I can here then leave in a year." Most people want to work somewhere for a long time and become an expert and master their craft. The most rewarding job I had I was there for almost 8 years and the last 2-3 I was really in the zone and felt like I could do anything.

There's an old saying about how if you're constantly smelling shit you need to check your own shoes. If a bunch of people come then leave, look at your own house first before assuming it's something wrong with them.
