Wealthy propagandists wielding mass media was in fact a key part of the American Revolution. The likes of Benjamin Franklin held no punches, and certainly would not have abided by sort of regulations overturned by Citizens United. Imagine telling the man that he's not allowed to publish a newspaper supporting his position because an election is imminent. He'd laugh in your face and do it anyway. His influence is a large part of the reason we have the First Amendment.
Well, you're half right -- it was a book.
"All of this hinges entirely on your direct manager (and to an extent their manager) being an actually good manager" I've found this to be a pretty tall ask at most companies. IMO If companies got rid of most of the performance and goal setting, most lower level managers could just convert to project management and teams would be a lot more effective.
I agree with the author's sentiments, but it makes no sense that it is directed at Marc Andreessen. He doesn't run any of the companies mentioned, and he is not some emperor of the software industry.

Sometimes there are little details that increase risk if you don't pay attention to them.

Like can't you use either "==" or "===" in Typescript but the first one can sometimes do a type coercion that can occasionally have unexpected effects? If I remember right it is a warning but not an error, a programmer who is clearing up warnings will stay out of trouble but if you weren't clearing warnings it would make a difference if you had a "==" or "===".

One thing that makes you a better dev as opposed to a worse dev is your habits, especially when it is something obscure where the compiler and IDE don't have your back.
I think he's saying both are so aggressive that you end up almost having to for either of them. But MS's data collection is a lot worse.
Inflation would have been less if there was less immigration, less gov't spending, less tax... all of which Trudeau actively increased.

Consumption taxes, such as carbon taxes, are actually OK if you reduce the income taxes to offset. Consumption taxes can change behavior vs. a blanket income tax. (Inexplicably, he reduced GST (another consumption tax)... so he's not thinking deeply about tax theory or anything at all really)

Trudeau planned to continue to increase carbon taxes by 200% higher than they are today. Also compare gasoline prices from the US to Canada.
> In particular, teams often encountered similar problems, and each team solved that problem differently. There was no one in a position to see that Team A and Team D were both solving problem theta, and that Team D's solution was better, and Team A should just use Team D's (or, more often, that we needed to detail an engineer to solve problem theta fully and get both teams to use that full solution rather than the jury-rig that each team had built). There was also no one to keep us informed that Team Ssang-giyeok had already solved the issue months ago and we could just use their solution.

Convince me that this duplication of work is worse when you have to shoehorn solution X into solving problem theta poorly, because someone 2 degrees (or more) removed from the problem thought that problem iota (which X actually solves) was "basically the same thing" as problem theta.
I totally agree with you, but those shows are not what parent means.

I'm a Canadian living in the US as well. I definitely make more and am able to save more here. I have better job opportunities and also more interesting work. Where I am the weather is also much better. If money wasn't an issue I'd move back to Canada in an instant (but maybe my view of Canada is outdated, been away for > 10 years). Why?

- Lower wealth inequality

- Safer, with lower crime rates, especially violent crime

- Higher life expectancy
I would argue that the unrest was very much widespread. It was just distributed into different forms.

I worked at Chapters for that year, and after we started to require masks in store (we were all getting sick!), I had books thrown at me. That is unrest. What I experienced was NOTHING compared to what grocery store workers went through, nurses, police officers, transit workers... EVERYONE.

Those behaviours were dangerous to society itself; on an individual level, innocent people got hurt for nothing other than simply doing their jobs. On a wider level, had we thrown our hands up and went "okay, you're right. wearing a mask IS the worst oppression anyone has ever faced, Florence Nightingale is a mythical invention by Big Mask, and your individual freedoms are absolutely more important than anything else" and simply let the virus go on unchecked, we might not be posting on a silly orange website now.

I don't know if I completely agree with using the Emergency Powers Act, but it certainly sent a message that said "What we're all going through now is extremely serious. Sit down and let the adults speak."

And I think it worked. Merely arresting the protestors might have just been cutting a head off a hydra.

Maybe.

I don't know. We'll never truly know. It was a weird, lurid time for everyone and nobody knew what the right thing to do was with conviction and certainty. But we must have done something right, because we're still here.

But the incumbents of the day, in every nation, are being blamed. They are being blamed for...letting us continue to live?

It hasn't been a perfect decade. It wasn't under Harper and it won't be under PP, either. Westminster doesn't encourage perfection. Leaders are incentivised to just do enough.

It's going to be a difficult few years for all of us. Well, any of us bring home under $250k anyway.
You've repeatedly been posting in the flamewar style to this thread. That's not ok, as you know (or ought to, having been here for a good 14 years), so please stop.

I'm not going to ban you right now, just as I haven't banned a different flamewar commenter (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42615795), but the same things apply to you as I said to them: this is not ok, and if you don't want to be banned here we need you to fix this once and for all.

Good question - My tool isn't mind reader but it helps tailor your resume by highlighting the most relevant achievements based on the job description you provide. You only need to provide your core resume, and the AI refines it by selecting and emphasizing the experiences and keywords that align best with the role.

There is an assumption that the core resume does have valid experiences, using this we can create a tailored and targeted resume for any job listing.
That's for both CPU, supposedly no-longer puny iGPU and the NPU. You'll get ≥80% real-world throughput for about half the power budget which is can easily be cooled in a 14" laptop that's thin for a gaming laptop without shattering your eardrums. I'll grant that you'll have to pick between acceptable acoustics, thermal throttling, or form factor when you go beyond 60W continuous heat output.

The severe bad-ness of itunes on windows halted any momentum I may have had in migration from a windows ecosystem towards apple.

It was just so horribly bad. Apple's disrespect for the dominant competing operating system made apple look incompetent. I liked the ipads until I had to work out how to transfer files on and off them to and from my existing infrastructure. It was goddamn painful, like going back to a previous era of esoteric computer usability.
I've seen this said before, especially of the Dutch. A high tolerance for Anglo migration but also a very intense sense of "dutchness" which is very hard to acquire as an adult and as the article notes you lack the familial and school links which bind people.

A guide book I read before a six month residency there said sometimes locals need to be themselves and not deal with you as an incomer.

I love these. Its the things we've been doing (or attempting to do) with our web pages for decades. I've written tons of jquery to do these exact things, lots of react code as well.

In case others are looking for a cheaper alternative to Formspree, I've been using https://formspark.io/ for all my websites [1] [2] [3]

I paid $25 a few years ago (can't even remember when) and I still have 47k out of the 50k submission credits I bought.

But I love to see a self-hostable alternative available, especially one that's as easy to use as running a `docker-compose` command. Sometimes you just need that control.

For example in my case, I would get app support emails all day and night, and even if I had DND enabled, I would wake to 3-6 emails that accumulated over night and my mornings would get hectic instantly. I would forget to eat for a long time and my mood would be irritable all day.

I had to place my own small API in front of Formspark to delay the emails for specific times of the day to avoid this. Something like FormBee would allow me to alter this in the server code directly instead of building yet another API.

These intangible factors are why I still love software dev over 20 years in.

The sixth sense of, "this still can't be right" and really getting into the intellectual muck to find out what the proper abstraction should be while also balancing what is needed for great UX.

It still keeps me up at night (or more specifically, from getting deep sleep!) from time to time. And then when you crack it...such a rush.
Let me start by saying that I am an experienced developer, so I doubt I'd unlearn syntax any time soon. Also the way I write with AI still has me writing a lot of the code. I use Cursor.

The way it helps me is in refactoring it sees 1 example and will apply the same pattern in the following 10 places in the code and it will suggest tailwind classes for colors, etc pretty accurately. That is in Rails.

Using AI has let me write pretty complicated Python applications, production ready, in an hour per application, even though I know no Python.

The other day in minutes I produced a bash script that let me loop through all sub-directories of a given directory, find all mp4 files, check with ffprobe if the audio stream within was flac or m4a, saved all metadata from those files into JSON using a python script it wrote and then ran ffmpeg to convert the mp4 to either flac or m4a and then reapply the metadata, if the filesize difference was within 800kb it would auto-delete the mp4.

All that in a few minutes. Obviously I could've done that either in Ruby or Bash, but this was way way way faster and it would help me debug things super quickly too.

I sometimes disable the AI suggestions when I am writing some novel code, but overall AI has released me from writing the 'boring code' and it allows me to leverage libraries and tools from different languages if the use case requires it. Super powerful!

I do understand I have the advantage of experience without AI so I am able to steer the AI towards solutions that my experience tells me are useful and I can judge the produced code pretty well. I have no idea how this all feels to a junior developer and whether it does more harm than good to their learning experience.

The first computer I ever owned was the original XPS laptop, circa 2004. It weighed as much as a corgi, was as thick as a Chicago deep dish pizza and gave out first-degree burns if your shorts rode up too high. The top outer panel was a beautifully garish noise pattern of deep green and purple ribbons, and the screen was so heavy that the hinges shattered within a year and the screen was ever after held up by two duct-tape suspenders, which thankfully didn't impede the keyboard much since the thing was as wide as a city block.
It doesn’t help if you can’t afford a house. If you just look at a simple crude statistic like gdp per capital US is 83% higher. You can’t make stuff appear out of thin air, there’s less resources to go around and people are objectively worse off
For starters, how is it not a violation (eg. "personality rights") to use a person's likeness without permission?

As a further example, do we really want insurance companies serving ads using near and dear ones as potential disaster victims? This is really getting out of hand.
I can agree with that. I still use my XPS from 2022 on a daily basis, but I regret it alot.

Health Care Is Ups' $20B Lifeline to Offset Shipping Slowdown
Sure, Trudeau was a ski instructor. You will also note that I neglected to mention that Poilievre had a paper route; that's because paper routes aren't professional experience.

Trudeau was also a secondary school teacher, acted in a tv movie. He also reputedly worked as a bouncer and worked in various (heavily politically affiliated) non-profits. He had a career before politics.

That said, my primary point is that Poilievre hasn't been a particularly effective politician, and his reputation is largely that of a blowhard who's main appeal is that he is not Trudeau.
> not a Content ID claim.

That is my understanding too. We do not have a disagreement on that.

> he got a copyright strike, which means a DMCA takedown

Here is where we disagree. A youtube copyright notice / copyright strike is not the same as a DMCA takedown.

The DMCA takedown process as described in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act Title II. Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act provides more rights for the content owner whose work got maliciously or mistakenly taken down. They have access to a counter notification process and §512(f) makes those who knowingly materially misrepresent content as infringing liable for damages. You don't have the same rights and affordances with the youtube copyright notification system.

It is similar. If you squint it looks the same. But it is not the same.
Scientists Who Study Life After Death
Why does this feel like the most productive thing I've done all day?
There is a lot of truth to this.

Having said this it helps you in terms of personal growth to immerse in another country, culture and language as much as you can. (If you view it as a challenge that you enjoy taking on, and you enjoy the target culture.)

One observation is that cultural distance is not always proportional to geographic distance: for instance, there are things that German and Japanese culture treat identically that British culture treats very differently.

Being an expat may be hard, but being an ex-expat is easily as hard or harder:
returning after extended absence, and expecting things to be the same, you will find out that people have moved on, and that the good things that you were missing (perhaps over-idealized) may no longer be good, or may never have been so great in the first place.

Restating that the arrangement is crap doesn't make it not crap.
As someone who is going to be 65 in a couple years and is researching Medicare options... it seems like a bit of a mess. The drug plans have been separated out so you have to buy those separately. If you get an "advantage" plan then you've got the same old "in-network" "out of network" BS to deal with and they can and do deny coverage. If you get plain old Medicare (probably what I'll opt for) you can theoretically see any doctor (but there are some that don't take Medicare) but you still have to buy a "Medigap" plan. Looking at the costs for my wife and I being on Medicare is still going to be something like $700/month so don't think that when you get to Medicare age that you won't have to pay any insurance premiums anymore. We're currently paying about $400/month for a silver plan and dental through the ACA so our premiums will actually go up under Medicare.
If it makes easier to describe which are the low end, and which are the high end, that's fine, I guess? I just hate when terms get shoved together like that..."pro max"? What's the next flagship going to be? "Pro Max Ultra"? Then the "Pro Max Ultra+"? Then the "Platinum Pro Max Ultra+ Plus"? Then the ELITE SERIES Platinum Pro-Maximus Ultronic+ Plus Performance"?

It's all just smushing a bunch of words for "really good" together and pretending like it means something different or unique. If something is maximum, it is the maximum - A maximum grade exceeds a "professional grade" the way an "enterprise subscription" is larger than "team subscription".

In an ideal scenario, it would simply be: "Basic, Advanced, and Maximum". I get the issue though. Sales want to be able to move products, and its an issue if people don't want to feel poor by buying the "basic" one, but can't afford the higher models. Fine! If the want to use more market-y terms, why not something like: "Quality, Premium, and Luxury"?

I would also presume that that would be specific to consumer grade. A business-grade line would be much easier. Keep the model names clear and obvious for Purchasing & Logistics people: "Basic, Performance, Executive". Basic is for grunt work who need internet access for a WebApp, but not much else. Performance is for finance, or whoever deals with a lot of wear and tear. Executive is thinner and fancier looking, but about as weak as basic model but can open Excel and PowerPoint.

Similar concerns happened when Harper and Ottawa mayor at the time denied the rights and freedoms of protestors of the G20.

I'm no fan of React, but these aren’t equivalent. If you follow the rules, react (or any of its alternatives) will manage stateful changes like adding and removing components and event listeners. JQuery is more similar to doing manual memory management in C. It’s extremely easy to get it wrong and introduce leaks and other non-local errors.
I dunno, my family likes it. They largely standardized to storing all their stuff in their OneDrive. When they get a new device, they just log in with the same username/password as their other computer and a lot of their settings are already configured. All their stuff is just there in their OneDrive.

For shared computers its really nice. I log in with my account, my wife logs in with hers, regardless of whatever computer we have handy. If I'm lounging on the couch I might grab her Surface, if she wants to sit down and work on a bigger project she can hop down at the bigger gaming PC, if we're on a trip and want to sync photos just grab the laptop. It's our same accounts, same username and passwords, same customization settings we like, regardless of whatever computer we use. The NAS at home has its permissions tied to our Microsoft accounts so our accounts log in seamlessly regardless of what computer we're on.

Meanwhile all our devices are encrypted and have our backup keys to decrypt synced there.

I probably would never want to have any personal Windows machine use a local account going forward.

The irony is that it was industry (especially small business) freaking out about that low unemployment rate and the pressure it was putting on wages that led to the bulk of Trudeau's demise.

They went crazy with the TFW program, LMIA, and immigration generally in order to reduce inflation. But this is not the kind of inflation that ordinary Canadians think of when we think of inflation -- grocery prices, etc. It's the inflation that business leaders freak out about: wage inflation.

And so the gov't acted, and increased the supply of skilled and unskilled labour, and here we are.

It's amusingly also the same inflation that led to Trudeau Sr. getting in a pile of trouble in the late 70s, too. In that case instead of immigration they tried the ill-fated "wage and price controls" legislation... which was... not popular.
