You actually know people who vote because of the programs and policies the candidates are expected to implement? I know people often pretend to but from what I've seen, it's always just the ones that the media has told them to think about and only used to justify favoring whoever they've already chosen anyway. I don't think it's even reasonable to expect voters to pay attention to such details because there are too many for everyone to be an expert on but if they vote based on broad philosophies like freedom or socialism, they can expect the politicians will make the many small decisions that more-or-less align with that.
I'll try to repro. I think with System 7 and on a lot of improvements were made to the OS (things like an Extensions manager comes to mind). Perhaps we're remembering those better days.

At the same time, it took me a while to unlearn a kind of reflexive <command>-S muscle spasm that I think twitched about every 4 or 5 minutes.
Well, I can understand why HN might go for a sci-fi roguelike over a game aimed at kids, even if it is technically impressive. If you made a blog post about a couple of interesting technical or business details you might get traction that way.
You went off the deep end with the last line. Get some rest, eat a sandwich, see a sunset.
>On the other hand, when Telegram asks you to share all your contacts and images with it, people do.

This is where Android shines with storage and contacts scopes. You can share an empty scope with the app and it will stop bugging you, and have access to nothing!
> they were only there for a promotion?

My experience: initially, I learned a lot of new things, I was excited to work for a big famous company. But eventually, it started to be less fun and more stressful. There's an endless push for impact or to improve some questionable metrics, while technical debt is building up. Also there's always uncertainty about reorgs and layoffs. Lots of anxiety related to the next evaluation cycle.

After a few years, I can say money is probably my main driver. Although, I don't want to get promoted because I certainly don't want more stress. I want to stay in this company as long as possible because I will be very hard to earn more money elsewhere.
> if armed police are threatening to harm your family you will tell them anything they want and sign anything they want to get them to stop

Don’t do this. If the charges are serious, if the motivation is so serious they’ll use illegal violence, say nothing. Demand a lawyer.

Where I disagree with this is in super minor cases. I took a left without indicating, once, and got pulled over by the town pub. I figured they were looking for drunks, so I co-operated; the worst I was admitting to was a traffic ticket.
Because why would you do something essentially irreversible when the other party has a temporary solution. I’ve changed my mind about things plenty of times, why would I do something I regret 20 years from now.
> Who makes more money, a "staff engineer" or an "engineering manager"?

I think engineering manager is the easier path to advancement. Compare for example Google Staff Software Engineer (L6) vs Engineering Manager (L6). [1, 2] The latter gets paid more but IMHO the ladder expectations are easier to meet, and even more so when advancing to L7.

This is admittedly cynical, but to some extent I think managers are often judged by the size of their empire, while engineers are judged by their (individual or team) accomplishments, which includes setting the overall project design and filling in gaps between the smaller pieces delegated to other engineers. Building a large empire is easier but can be counterproductive. To accomplish things you also need good design oversight, technical mentorship, etc. that managers aren't expected to deliver.

A lot of people who are passionate enough about software stay on the SWE ladder in spite of the relative difficulty. I know someone who switched to the management ladder then eventually (at great trouble) switched back; he nearly got down-leveled in the process.

There are great engineering managers out there of course, but I think in general the difference in expectations is real and unfortunate.

I'm not sure I see the ethics argument re: how the limitations affect your ability to back up / consume / multi-device. Those things might make it not worth your time and money, they might make it a bad deal, but it's not unethical to accept a bad deal.

For me, the ethical dimension comes from how the DRM will be abused. By paying somebody who develops DRM, you're complicit in building something that may later pivot from protecting content to silencing dissent or preventing local-manual override in a hazardous way, and that's unethical. Maybe it's not right up there with biological weapons, but it's still one of those things that we should not tolerate.

It's trivial-ish to do.

Right now US has 156M college educated people, China - has been quickly increasing that number during last 10-20 years and currently reached 218M. Thus we see emergence of China as rivaling superpower. You can look at China's rate of new college admissions and make a reasonable projection when a number of senior (10-15 years of experience) professionals in China will dwarf that in US.

>Russia's population is 1/2 that of the US and it's irrelevant.

not yet. Quickly moving that direction though. No yet there mostly because of USSR built resources like nuclear weapons, space program, educational and scientific foundations from that time (USSR was an empire of 250M population of proper USSR plus the Eastern Block which in particular produced technology - Bulgarian computers, Hungarian buses, Polish built ships, including Navy ones, etc.) All that in Russia is falling behind and apart.

From my cynical definition, it's a gate-kept level based on a senior engineer's actual sphere of influence within an organization. At any medium to large company, this role is usually the dividing line between someone who could be an EM, but doesn't want to be one, so instead given the same promotion (from HR's perspective) but get to remain in an IC role. "Leading without authority"

It's impossible to define in any generalized measurable way, because it's whatever the organization wants it to mean at that moment.

Usually, a staff engineer is hyper in-sync with the business needs and able to spot where the deficiencies are. They are also very diplomatic, great communicators, and people enjoy working with them. "Lifting you up, lifts me up."

True. When a friend of mine and I showed my wife OS X when the first beta came around, I remember when I went to shut down the machine the wife said she didn't like how OS X took to quit (older Mac OS would shut down near instantly).

Women this and women that. I’m not going to have surgery and close off a bodily function permanently and irreversibly (essentially) when the woman can just stop birth control whenever she wants. Not to mention extreme responses happen in a small fraction of women. Around 30% have mild reactions and around 4.5% have extreme reactions.
> Don't think "Latin America" is a US invention, the term "Latino" is, though

You are right. But also the term Latino "creates" Latin America, which are the countries Latinos come from. And then also a subculture of immigrants in the US, which funnily is a bit excluding of Brazilians as not real Latinos (as there is also a expectation that everybody below the US speaks Spanish).
'majority rule' is always effective as far as democracy is living. Obviously so called democracy works among a people who shares same background: history, culture, education and so on. But unfortunatelly, democracy does not work under mixed people, because they cannot compromise their egoism among them. No doubt this is proofed in history. If I can say something about this election, I say 'you did well till now' to the USA.
No. Completely unrelated.
“In the early 20th century, Albert Einstein and Claude Shannon laid out the three pillars of the physical world: matter, information, and energy.”

Pacifism can lead to losing wars or territory, yes. You can't have your cake and eat it too buy saying it's not true pacifism unless you fight baddies or that a war based on vengeance for humiliation is what a real pacifist would want.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's actually an underestimate, because this saga has had a knock on effect on decongestant formulations sold outside the US as well. I don't know exactly why this has happened but my guess is it may be due to economies of scale in manufacturing or licencing overheads.

It's hard to find a pharmacy which even sells pseudoephedrine based decongestant if you're in the UK, for example.
Probably not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers only lists up to a Millinillion, or 10^3003. You can compound them, but it kinda defeats the point.

In addition, a gut feeling needs to be proven quickly and cheaply, so treat it as an experiment and strictly time-box it and have a measurable goal or milestones which must be met before the path is continued.

Leaders who have too many of these hand-wavey directions that fail, should be relegated to an advisory position to my mind, until they have better gut feelings or can articulate them better.

But he didn't invade Iraq. That's not part of his record in government. Perhaps it's consistent with him being a liar and you should go by what he actually did instead of what he said.
It seems unfair to put 16 1Us in a rack when you could fit 19 2Us which would save a lot of fan power. Otherwise this is really good work.
The price, is infinity times cheaper. Also terminal based means it can run on remote machines or local.
Be sure to watch Big Clive's video that's linked in the article. It's amazing how cheap digital calipers have gotten, and how accurate they are at that price. They probably use a 4-bit MCU or an ASIC to do the calculations and output the data --- both to the screen, and an often-hidden serial port. The use of a non-absolute encoding leading to drift, and the higher standby power consumption which was distinctive of the infamous battery-eating Mitutoyo clones, seems to have been largely solved within the past few years. There are even solar models available for not much more.
Heck, a sperm and an egg in separate containers have exactly the same information as a fertilized egg. That's a powerful argument for having a clear idea of what creates moral personhood.

Otherwise you're in the same camp that believes a sky daddy breathes a soul into your baby at conception and that IVF is the work of Satan.
There's no notebook for me. There's a black square for some reason.

No, that's the inflated list price that's only paid by people with an emergency while out of network or similar unfortunates -- not insurance companies.
They get this from the media they watch. What child has seen literal scientists in lab coats? I might have seen it a few times at university at the clean lab, not even sure about that.

While we're at it, I think it should be illegal for prosecutors -- or defense attorneys -- to lie or use hypotheticals they know are not true just to spread doubt. Law should be argued on facts, conviction and conjecture.

Example: if I was caught drunk driving and blew a 0.15, my lawyer shouldn't be able to say "How do you know my client didn't just use mouthwash? Mouthwash has a level of alcohol in it." If they know that's not what happened, it shouldn't be legal to plant in the mind of a jury or judge. Rather they could say factually, "How accurate are these breath tests?" or "Are you sure you administered the test correctly?" to the officer being witnessed.
The wallet-sized passport card is a great solution for that case then. It’s much cheaper than the regular passport book (and you are allowed to have both at once), doesn’t invalidate your regular passport book if it gets lost or stolen, and is also usable to go between the US and Canada by land or sea without having to bring the passport book with you. For people with a Global Entry or NEXUS card, that card also works for every case where the passport card does (and more).

Green card holders also have a convenient wallet size for their green card, and they’re legally required to carry it with them at all times while in the US anyway.
If the objection is that their claim to ownership is not legitimate due to harms done along the way, then refusing to access the media on those grounds would mean participating in the very thing you're trying to object to.

That's no way to disobey.
A lot of the other "cures" involve immunosuppressants

I'm optimistic about the VX-264 approach of islet cell encapsulation. Even if the encapsulation eventually breaks down, using stem cell derived cells (rather than cadaver pancreata) means you could simply replace the implant after a few years.
But not 3 days! That sounds like food or ballistic gel, which is also food, I guess.
This is currently in a category of cures that are always a decade away. I am happy that the researchers are putting it out there to attract interest and investment, but the GRI-type insulins remained in lab settings for about 30 years now and it is somewhat troubling to not see progression into and through the stages of pharma clinical trials on T1D patients.

Clearly, there is tremendous potential to make money here – diabetes is a very serious epidemic worldwide. So why hasn't this progressed out of the lab?
I'm just saying what users of Codebuff have said about us compared to competitors.

You should try Codebuff and see for yourself how it reads files! It's not simply a tool call. We put a lot of work into it.
Costing instructions leads to efficiency metrics, which makes it possible to incentivize efficiency.

BPF instructions could also each have an abstract relative cost with or without real value.

BPF in WASM (unfortunately without the kernel performance advantages or possible side channels) or the fwiu now-defunct eWASM might be an easier place to test the value of costed opcodes.

The [e]BPF verifier does not yet rewrite according to opcode costs of candidate programs.

Why does everyone but me always have something to say?
I’m curious why you chose to draw the line there.
Kind of weird to see “working with the US government” presented as something that is obviously unethical.
You were mentioning a boundary and line being drawn, I think what's trying to be said is that line is already drawn. No problem abruptly vanishes just because it becomes illegal. It doesn't help that your example is 30 years old,
police and police oversight have gotten far better since then.
I would love some solar powered calipers. "I'll wing it" measurements for me are usually powered by "god damn it, do I even have any more CR2032's? Is the battery cover pressing down enough? Screw it where's a ruler..."
Skynet is not where it should be
Kern and San Joaquin in particular are the exact opposite of white collar professional immigration and more similar to Guyana. (My great grandfather came during that 1920s era but jumped ship in NYC instead) People often forget some of us came before 1965. Vivek Bald has an excellent book about it.
There are usually tech industry levels above senior like staff, principal, distinguished engineer. I think the OP's problem is they didn't get a title increase.

Fab is simply short for fabricate or fabrication which is a term commonly used in all manner of manufacturing including circuitboards. An external party that provides manufacturing is often referred to as a 'fabrication partner' or 'fabricator', shortened to 'fab'.

I'm not sure why this is a cynical definition. It seems perfectly reasonable and accurate to my experience.
I missed resource forks when they moved to the UNIX way in what's now macOS.

You could mod Windows apps the same way (and at least one resource editor was also named ResEdit), yet the filesystem didn't provide multiple forks --- it was just a separate section in the binary.

In fact macOS apps are just a directory containing both the main binary and resources.
Too much exercise is a problem that can happen to literally anyone. Not just due to injuries. Fatigue management is one main component.

Saying that more exercise is always better is a completely false statement. Do not care if it sounds good or is meant to "help" people or whatever, it's completely false and can harm uninformed people.

I know at my last job I closed any resumes that had Google on them. They generally didn’t do well at startups in my opinion, the scope and responsibilities are too broad and there is no where to hide. And the ones I did hire tended to want to make everything look the way it did at Google.

No facts, but I'd guess a combination of:

- After the extra time in space, one of the astronaut's bodies had notable problems re-acclimating to 1g. So all 4 get an overnight stay, JIC.

- A rough re-entry & splash-down, leading to concerns about all those 0g-acclimated astronaut bodies.
You'll create plenty of new problems in life, too, if you are so committed to being rigid at all times.
I always point these people to Hillel Wayne's Crossover Project [0]. His interviews with "real engineers" who switched over to software engineering (and vice versa) are very enlightening.

Also, watching Practical Engineering has had a huge impact on both my perception of "real engineering" and on my own work. He goes over a whole bunch of civil engineering topics and it's obvious that they're doing the same kind of work, just in a different domain, and with in most cases about as much due diligence as I have in my job. It's not a different universe, just a different neighborhood.

As many as one would like to substantiate a claim of IRC being "alive" or "dead"? I am fairly certain that the majority of the users I see are alive and real, but how am I even supposed to prove that?
Attorneys (including defense attorneys), as officers of the court, are ethically barred from lying to the court or bringing witnesses whom they know intend to lie. Defense attorneys will sometimes tell their clients "if you're guilty, don't tell me" in order to avoid such ethical restrictions.

Of course, not all lawyers live up to their ethical obligations and if the only evidence of an ethical lapse is protected by attorney-client privilege, it's unlikely that they would ever get caught.
Could you elaborate? How do those things relate, in the picture you're suggesting?
Please don’t lump crypto with all those things. It can be an agent for great change and equality. It’s verifiable truth and the others are the opposite of that.
Superiority complex. Which is interesting, given that tech companies have lots of Asians in them. Then the goal gets moved to cultural superiority.
