I'd rather be poorer than deal with everything the west is throwing on everyone. A poorer Poland is still a better Poland than a wealthier not so Poland anymore.

And if you want to start a Polish office, hire Polish people. Don't tell me you need Indians and Chinese people. If you can't do it with Polish people because we're too dumb or lazy or uneducated for your business, oh well. Don't just import people. Most poles don't want them.

However bad you think right wing Polish people are, it's probably worse when you're not in the room. So please consider than in your next round of investment.
Are they actually sharing personal information? From the OP it sounds like they're sharing aggregate data. (I've never heard of Pave.)
It’s annoying. Every time a company does basic enforcement they are required to by law to maintain their trademark, they get bonded and we go through the same cycle of outrage with the sensible people explaining that trademarks aren’t like patents and if someone is going around using your trademark, you will lose it.

Then the outrage dies down only to have the cycle repeated a few weeks later.
even worse, the raspberry pi, tripped, fell, and burst into flames for no good reason.

>what are we conditioning on?

The local hidden state, but you don't get to set it from inside the universe when you do an experiment (this local hidden state is unobservable).

From inside the universe based on this hidden state, everything behave classically, pseudo-randomly based on the local hidden state.

But because you don't get to set the local hidden state during your experiment if you want to calculate the probabilities, you have to integrate over the possible values of the unknown hidden state, and this allows you to recover the strange looking quantum correlations.

Doing repeated experiment inside a universe mean picking a different initial local hidden state (because it's unobservable).

> places that don't have bribery call it lobbying

You're describing people without a civics education. Bribes (direct or promised after term), campaign contributions (direct and via PACs) and lobbying (direct and paid) are categorically distinct.
It's generally quite unlikely that sharing your salary is going to result in getting bitten by that. You'd need to do labour organization (or be completely surrounded by rats and snitches and other vermin at your workplace, who already have an axe to grind) to actually get blowback for this stuff.

Most of the taboo around it is cultural, because people here attach their self-worth to their paycheck.

You could also always do it anonymously or pseudonymously. You'd have almost no chances of retaliation in that case.

> Computers parse identifiers, so a good variable name is telling the computer _something_ at least, and so is vastly preferrable to comments.

I realize you're trying to explain a way of thinking that you don't actually share—but this doesn't make sense to me either.

Computers parse identifiers in only the simplest sense—they care if two identifiers are identical to each other or different. So, any identifier longer than one or two characters is in some sense a comment, because everything longer the minimum necessary to make the identifier unique is ignored. They're literally stripped from the output if you don't retain debug symbols or use a minifier (depending on the type of language).

I wonder what the income disparity is between minimum-wage Taco Bell employees and Pepsi’s executive team is, and how much the difference has grown in the last 20 years. I would be willing to bet that the company could, in reality, afford not to replace human jobs and still pull in huge profits/pay their shareholders and corporate officers quite a lot of money without requiring a bunch of my personal information in order to buy the worst taco I’ve ever had.

Why? They don't have child locks on the doors. You're gonna be stuck trying to explain to somebody why you think it's OK to carry around a life hammer when you inevitably have to go through a metal detector. Plus cars in developing countries aren't built as heavily as ones in the west - you could probably just kick the window out if you need to. Just don't wear flip flops everywhere.

You're probably going to be some level of taller/wider/stronger than the driver too if you're a western tourist in a developing country. I've ridden in thousands of developing country cabs. Most drivers are normal people just trying to get by and won't try anything.
Huh, this tacit collusion being legal thing is mind boggling.

The law firm example seems imperfect though. Publicly announcing that you’re raising salaries isn’t really the same as internally sharing that data and choosing to set the same salary based on that.
It's a matter of terminology. From my understanding, some 200+ years ago in the UK, ale was used for non-hopped malt beverages and beer was used for hopped malt beverages.

The terms eventually evolved to mean the same thing, as pretty much all brews became hopped.

The interpretation will vary a lot depending on the culture and the century you are digging into.

I called your argument "this racism shit" since you're trying to argue how some people today are poor because of events from 150 years ago and not do to their own actions or inactions. That would be like me blaming my lack of financial success in life on the Ottoman empire's occupation of my country.

How about personal responsibility? How can you blame people you've never met and who are long dead for why you're poor today.

Why is it that Iranians, Indians, Taiwanese, Chinese, and other Asians who emigrate to the US with little to no money can become very successful within 1-2 generations despite being poor foreign immigrants while a certain minority of the US citizens who enjoy rights and benefits immigrants do not seem to be stuck in poverty/crime and keep blaming history for it? Is it because some cultures value education highly while a US minority does not?

It's not your fault you are born into poverty but it's your responsibility to do your best to get out of it. Who is stopping that minority group from going to school/college or trades to escape poverty?

I agree with your point re people not even noticing. There are so many titles with jaw-dropping visuals on PS5 and it's hard to complain. But the numbers are numbers - PS5 isn't suited for 4k native gaming and it's not even close. Perhaps with the new upscaling? I don't know. I've RTX 4090 that is leagues ahead of PS5 and there are games that reach its limits in 4k (see Alan Wake 2 - a great game btw, or Black Myth Wukong).

It also boils down to the software part - sadly a lot of games are badly optimized due to laziness. UE5 is getting popular and games made with it have already demonstrated that PS5 may struggle with them. I believe over time PS5 Pro will become the baseline for optimization, leading to more frustrated PS5 owners wanting to upgrade.

Speaking of handhelds, Steamdeck is also mind-blowing good.
But after you notice this, you might start fixating on the hand movements and missing out on what they are saying.

Most comments belong in the git log message.
That's where you want to discuss the "why not".
You have all the space you need in order to do that, without cluttering the code.
The log message will accurately pertain to the change made at that time.

When commits are rebased, the log message must be revisited and revised. Changes can disappear on rebasing; e.g. when a change goes into a baseline in which someone else made some of the exact same changes in an earlier commit, so that the delta to the new parent is a smaller patch. In my experience, commit messages stay relevant under most rebasing.

Comments are (largely) an obsolete version of version control log messages.

In the 1980s, there was a transitional practice: write log messages, but interpolate them into the checked out code with the RCS $Log$ thing. This was horrible; it practically begs for merge conflicts. It was understandable why; version control systems were not ubiquitous, let alone decentralized. You were not getting anyone's RCS ",v" file or whatever.

Today, we would be a few decades past all that now. No $Log$ and few comments.

Mainly, the comments that make sense today are ones which drive automatic API documentation. It would not be reasonable to reconstruct that out of the git history. These API comments must be carefully structured so the documentation system can parse them, and must be rigorously maintained up-to-date when the API changes.
That is unfortunate. We have already ruined a generation of kids. There’s no need to continue stepping on the same rake. Kids already don’t have “freedom of speech”, and neither do companies when working with kids.
There is no hope for the software industry to mature if we cannot agree on some basic coding practices. Like the judicious use of comments to improve maintainability.
> The power line frequency is very tightly regulated over the long term, and should have an overall better accuracy.

It depends on your country. I've heard of this being the case in Europe, but here in Brazil, as far as I could find there's no "long term regulation" of the power line frequency. Which makes sense to me; it means the power network operator doesn't have to artificially deviate from the correct power line frequency in an attempt to "compensate" for a past deviation.

It wasn’t Uber but taxis. When I visited Istanbul a while ago, the taxi drivers were creative in how they scammed people. Some purposely took a longer route to the destination to charge more, while others altered the meter so it showed almost double the fare. I discovered this because the same trip cost half using another taxi. Others asked for an upfront price and ignored the meter.
The problem with that is thanks to many years of below cost pricing Uber has become synonymous with taxi now, and most people don’t even realize (or care) that taxis are often cheaper.

> I comment everything that I think would be useful for me when revisiting the code a year later.

Do you code solo or do you work with a team? If so, how large is the largest team you've worked with?

I used to be a dogmatic "all comments are code smells" person and, to a large degree I still am. But working on a very (and I mean VERY) large code-base that is actively developed and maintained by hundreds of other software developers, I have relaxed my position slightly into the "if you need to do something weird, explain why" ... because a large legacy system that lives in a business environment of tight deadlines means that there are often weird things that need to be done to keep things moving at a pace that the business is willing to pay for.

Anyway, one of the many reasons that I argue AGAINST code comments is that the comments become part of the code and therefore require maintenance. But few people read comments unless they are stuck trying to understand something. This "psychological invisibility" is even enforced by the fact that most code editors will grey out comments in order to make them less distracting.

And therefore, comments can easily become outdated.

So I'm curious about your situation. Since you say that you like to give yourself useful context for "future you", what context does this process serve? Do you find it useful when working on a shared codebase with lots of other developers? Or is it something that only works well when there are few developers touching the code?
Japanese Eels Have Evolved to Escape a Predator's Stomach After Being Eaten
In his specific example, a comment is not the best solution. You can create self-documenting code easily with an interface and an implementation, also commonly referred to as the strategy pattern.

Interface expresses “what the function does” while the implementation expresses “how it’s done with what tradeoffs”.

Bonus, in the future, if performance ever does become a problem, you swap in the new optimized implementation behind the existing interface.
There was a (now deleted comment) about how there is no proof of wage discrimination for Uber/Lyft drivers, which was posted with no evidence.

This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEXJmNj6SPk) was recently published which shows drivers being offered the same gigs, but different payment amounts. Note that I could not find a published version of the data they collected in this video.

That is not explicitly proof of wrongdoing, but clearly algorithmic price setting can be demonstrated as not always offering the same payment to the same drivers for the same work. There may be a valid reason to why this is the case, but as the calculation method is closed source, the individuals being offered the wage are unaware of why they would be paid less than their peers.

This is work that is often considered "low skill" - which should actually make it extremely cut and dry as to why an individual would be paid more or less. Are they making their pickups faster? Are their customers more satisfied? If that's the case, why would they sometimes be offered more money than their peers and sometimes less money?

Almost all workers here are price takers, and suffer greatly from the information asymmetry present. Companies hiding behind "oh but the algorithm says..." is a poor excuse for inequality.

Edit: Because discrimination is in the title of the OP, I feel the need to clarify: in no way is the above saying that the video posted is proof of discrimination. Inequality need not be discrimination. When there is inequality without any measurable source, we need to be skeptical of the reason. Maybe one driver has better customer feedback, therefore they get offered a higher wage. There are many logical explanations for the result, but Uber/Lyft do not seem to engage with the discussion. This should raise red flags. That does not conclude that they are discriminating against anyone, and that would be a poor conclusion to draw without a true investigation.

Internally both the hyperedges and the vertices are stored as an AutoArrayHashmap with the associated data and the relations (
https://github.com/yamafaktory/hypergraphz/blob/9f87e705afd7...). Then the implementation diverge since a given hyperedge can hold zero to n vertices, with self-loops (ArrayList). For vertices, we just need to keep track of the hyperedges (AutoArrayHashmap).
But you have to run it on a sequence, or perhaps even more accurately, something that is putatively a sequence but may have an infinite loop in it. Tortoise & hare requires an unambiguous "next" function, which a graph does not have. Modifying it to not require that so it can run on a graph may be possible but that would constitute a different algorithm for sure, with different complexity analysis, etc.

I super agree that fully open salary data would be amazing.

On the second point, I would argue that you have very little ability to determine when you’ve gained enough experience as an employee to argue for a raise. Whereas an employer with access to Pave has a _ton_ of ability to determine whether you have or have not. Yours is based entirely on personal experience and feel, plus maybe talking to a few coworkers. Theirs is based on aggregated data from thousands of employees
