The "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions" warning on the uBlock Origin listing is one the shadiest things on the Chrome Web Store.
Yeah, I'm a fan of pragmatism also. An original version of it from Charles Peirce[1], not the version that James Williams and others promoted. "It can be beneficial to believe in God in a religious society, therefore the belief is true". Doesn't it sounds silly to you? So we are coming to a question: how would you define "it works"? If management full of cargo-cultists can achieve no technical goals but they still get their salaries, does "it work" or not?

Maybe we could get off the hedonic treadmill and be content with a certain level of material affluence.
Don't forget they are working multiple zero hour jobs. I.E. the job is at most part time so you need at least two, but the job also doesn't only not guaranty what days/shift hours you will work next week, it doesn't guarantee you will work any hours at all. Hence it is a zero hour job.

Personally I think having more than 10% zero hour jobs should be illegal, as well as having multiple 'part time' positions to take the place of having full time positions.
There’s a lot of title inflation. I’ve seen several companies posting assistant jobs as “chief of staff” with low salaries
The word classic has a bevy of meanings in the Mac world. There’s the “classic Mac” era, the “Macintosh Classic” which bears the name, and of course “Classic” mode in early OS X.

But some things are just… classics. Like the g3 and g4 era, which saved the Mac from death.

I am a graduate of Khoury and find this very disappointing. I wasn’t a huge fan of learning Scheme/Racket but after looking back during my career I’m grateful for the education I got there.

This feels like a step backwards.
Sometimes I feel like my up vote doesn't adequately express my gratitude.

I appreciate how thorough this was.

Sure, but I'd guess even poor people allocate slightly more money than that for smartphones.
I have an iMac G4/800 that can run 9.2 as well as OS X. It's not as fast as the later G4s, but it's performant enough, the flat-panel is nice, and the all-in-one design makes thing really delightful to work with. Replacing the HDD with an SSD isn't fun since iMacs are unpleasant to work on, but is crucial. It's great for old games.
We may be wealthier materially overall, but we're poorer mentally and socially. TANSTAAFL. And as others have pointed out, a higher aggregate level of wealth hides immense disparities.

> E.g. in the case you provided, if pop & push couldn't fail, that would just be two calls in sequence.

I have no idea what you mean here. Everything in the comment would be exactly the same even if stack.push_back() was guaranteed to succeed (maybe due to a prior stack.reserve()). And those calls aren't occurring in sequence, one is occurring upon entrance and the other upon exit. Perhaps you're confused what absl::Cleanup does? Or I'm not sure what you mean.

I think you're going to have to give a code example if/when you have the chance, to illustrate what you mean.

But also, even if you find "a counterexample" where something else is better than exceptions just means you finally found found a case where there's a different tool for a (different) job. Just like how me finding a counterexample where exceptions are better doesn't mean exceptions are always better. You simply can't extrapolate from that to exceptions being bad in general, is kind of my whole point.
Magic has insiders and outsiders that have access to and distribute tricks, the insiders being, roughly, "people who perform magic for a living", and outsiders being, roughly, "youtubers and hobbyists".

Penn and Teller make a lot of noise about not being afraid of the Magic Castle and revealing tricks, but the only tricks they've really exposed are the really old tricks like the Cup and Balls where knowing how it's done doesn't really spoil it very much, and most magicians don't care about that kind of thing very much, especially since there have been books explaining how to do it for literally hundreds of years including magic kits you can buy at any book store.

What _really_ annoys magicians are people publishing tutorials for original tricks that are still being performed by the person that developed them, and most of them think that if the method is going to be published, it should be published by the performer through normal "magic store" channels. Outsiders, OTOH, don't care at all about any of that and frequently publish tutorials and exposures for tricks on youtube, and don't really suffer any negative consequences for it because they're not working magicians and don't intend to be.

It's actually really similar to the way that EDM producers and DJs work. They all are playing "other people's music", and a lot of them make unauthorized remixes and bootlegs of other people's work, but they also have a network of dj-to-dj music distribution where producers give out exclusive demos of their newest songs and remixes (some original and legit, some not) to other djs that they're friendly with, and if you were to send out copies of someone _else's_ illegal remix, you'd get black listed and lose out on gigs and getting any songs from other DJs in that network in the future.

There's actually a pretty famous example of a violation of this norm. Eric Prydz's Call On Me started as a live remix that Thomas Bangalter (of Daft Punk) performed in a set that was copied around a lot and generated a lot of demand for the remix (which didn't actually exist). Thomas Bangalter had zero interest in releasing it, so several white label recreations happened that were produced by unknown DJs (because nobody famous would do it because it would have been lame to do). Eventually Ministry of Sound put a ton of money behind getting it released as a single and paid Eric Prydz a giant pile of money to basically remaster one of those white labels that someone else made and put his name on it, and then they paid Steve Winwood to come back into the studio and make a note-for-note remake of Valerie just so they could sample it because the original label wouldn't clear the sample.

It left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths and tainted Eric Prydz's early career, largely because it wasn't even his style of music and he was forced to play it in every set, almost starting a riot in at least one place because he refused to play it. It was a huge hit though, and nobody faced legal repercussions, because "reproducing someone else's bootleg remix" isn't actually against the law, it's just kind of lame.

I'm also a big fan of the Jestreams, in particular the "Uni Jetstream Standard Ballpoint Pen - 0.5 mm". 5-6 years ago on a similar thread here or elsewhere, found a pointer to them and got a few, and I really like the precise line it makes, so I can do (what one of my coworkers called) "microwriting" between other lines of text. I use them mostly for note taking and bullet journaling. I've since gotten a few of the dozen packs, they are reasonably priced.

I wish I had a better solution for todo lists though. For a couple years I used a book and pen for managing my todo list, but always felt like an automated solution would just be better. I tried a Kindle Scribe and used that for around a year. It was a good "basic" writing experience, but really brought very little over just pen and paper (except that I never had to struggle with keeping the pages laying flat). I decided to try an Onyx Boox Note 3 as a "better Scribe", but shortly after that I abandoned the todo list entirely. Tried taskninja, but never stuck there either.

Any pro tips?

As an American who worked for an Australian company, the time change was actually great. I had my whole morning to do as I pleased, since Australia is several hours behind the USA... although it's tomorrow.

I never thought of Australians under- or over-touting their professional achievements. I did find my coworkers very respectful and supportive.
Stock buybacks. They serve nothing but short term driving up of profits purely to increase the value of management's stock options. They have no place in the functions/purpose of a healthy stock market.

I wish they would stick to semantic versioning tho.

I have used two projects that got stuck in incompatible changes in the 3.x Python.

That is a fatal problem for Python. If a change in a minor version makes things stop working, it is very hard to recommend the system. A lot of work has gone down the drain, by this Python user, trying to work around that
Even under the old admin, this is not the kind of thing that's easy to punish a company for without an aggrieved union to press the case.
You're totally right, the whole point of Rapid Feedback as a brand is to ensure that you and your customers are easily able to share testimonials, and the best way to do that is to make sharing testimonials fun, that is something we were going for in the landing page hence memes.

As for the GIFs causing cease and desist, I feel it falls under 'fair use' policy of the content.
I attended Northeastern from 2010-2013. Fundies (the freshman-level functional programming courses) was fundamental (ha) to my growth as a software developer. It taught me how to reason about data and how to design programs (the literal name of the textbook).

I know a lot of students hated it—frankly those were mostly the students that it seemed were only doing computer science programs because they’d heard they could make a lot of money in the field. The “real nerds” all seemed to love it, and now nearly 15 years later those are the engineers in my network who have built the most impressive systems and products.

I guess I’ll have to update my default instructions for recruiters from “automatically interview anyone with a degree from Northeastern” to add “if they graduated before 2025”

Gentoo was the first distro I got working with internet access because it supported the little phone line based network my family had, so I could share dial-up via the parents windows computer. And, yes, I also printed off the install guide.

Man, I should find time to dig into Gentoo again.
What qualifies as being from the 90s? The CueCat was definitely underdevelopment in the 90s but wasn’t publicly released until 2000.

> Did you go to two schools with the same length of day but different number of students per teacher?

Not as extreme a difference in number of students or length of day, no. I realise this is anecdotal, just proposing a theory that makes most sense to me. I suspect you're right that there's a sweet spot on all of these things.

The school I was at that did ~8:30-4:15 (vs ~9-3:30) also had half a day on Saturday. I distinctly remember the Saturday morning school causing more burnout feeling than the longer days during the week. Partly that will have been because of the weekend things I was missing out on, so it's hard to accurately judge, but I don't think 5.5 days of school was a good choice there.
This op-ed was written by an undergrad and complains that Northeastern's switch to Python (from Racket) for its introductory classes will prevent students from learning fundamentals of computer science.

But that complaint can be made about any language! "This dynamically typed language won't allow students to understand type safety." "This high-level language won't allow students to learn pointers and systems programming." Etc.

I believe that an intro course should get students coding since the first major hurdle is learning how to construct any kind of program at all. The switch to a more "employable" language isn't going to make education worse.

It's really just a stopgap.
Cargo cult is, to me a tag for a particular kind of action. Where someone does something without an understanding of the mechanism they are using. My best example is agile development. Many (most) people implement agile without really understanding what how it is supposed to work. This is common, and it is a real thing, and a real problem we have. We have. One could give this some other name. Perhaps recipe-ism. Where you follow a recipe instead of understanding the process. But, personally, cargo cult sort of captures the essence of the thing. I never saw it as about Feynman, colonialism, racism or such. It is just about human nature. To me.

Speaking of recipes, the article very much reminded me of internet recipes, the ones that try to cram in as many ads as possible. So the recipe is preceded by the writer's life history, the history of the recipe, whether the name of the product is politically correct and then (200 ads later) three lines of the stuff you were really looking for. And in the worst circumstances you find that the core thing was not really all that informative. Sigh.

looking back at the news releases: Mediatek seems to bring CPU design expertise on the table, which makes sense, they have much more experience and know-how in this than Nvidia. Mediatek is a top tier company with excellent engineering talent. Ideally Nvidia would acquire such a company so that they can challenge AMD and Qualcomm better but this doesn't seem to fit for their strategy to keep it small and focused. Hemce such a partnership works better for them.

The popular cargo cult story is a mixture of stuff that happened, stuff that was made up, and focusing on the wrong stuff. It's basically an urban legend at this point of people copying from other people.

It's a bit like saying that Christianity involves handling rattlesnakes and putting nails through your hands in the belief that God will turn your fillings to gold. That kind of misses the point.

Gracefully handle edge cases. I've seen pacman continuing as normal and pretending that everything is fine, burying the error in the middle of several screens of logs, when free disk space temporarily went down to zero during system upgrade. That just doesn't happen with apt, where you're usually `dpkg --configure -a` away from recovering from most disasters.

There's also a matter of packaging practices, which isn't entirely a pacman vs. apt thing but rather Arch vs. Debian (although package manager design does influence and is influenced by packaging practices). In Arch, the package manager will happily let you install or keep an out-of-epoch package installed during an upgrade that will just fail to function. apt usually won't let you proceed with an upgrade that would lead to such outcome in the first place. It's a thing that's ridiculously easy to stumble upon as soon as you use AUR, but since user's discovery of the issue is delayed, most people probably don't attribute it to package management at all - they just see an application getting broken one day for some unknown reason, while apt screams at them and appears broken right away when they try to use apt.

To be frank, I don't know for sure that relations between packages that Debian uses couldn't all be expressed with pacman, maybe it's possible. What I know though is that I've never seen a Debian-like system that used pacman, and I know that makepkg-based tooling is very far away from debhelper so even if it's theoretically possible with pacman, you'd have a long way to get there with your tooling anyway.

Historically, we do have examples of it working though :

https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/book-review-the-rise-of-chr...

Though in our case it's a much harder issue :

How do you make and keep a powerful polity while staying militarily weak ? (Tanks / planes / nukes not being an option in a society that decided to de-industrialize.)

This also involves population : a post-industrial society, is likely to have its military strength based on population (like pre-industrial societies did, where agriculturalists overwhelmed hunter-gatherers) : how do you keep your population low without becoming weak ?

(Christian polities didn't exactly stay meek, more like the opposite (after a while)...)

At least values can be transmitted memetically, without genetical lineage, so keeping a stable national population is probably the least unworkable issue as long as immigration and assimilation are high enough...

The repetitiveness of modern labor has moved full body physical labour to single point of failure on your body tasks with the likelier end result being you will end up crippled in some way (and having to just work with it) or have other overuse injuries which then leads to constant chronic pain.
If you're developing a library, and you have a requirement for what's normally a transitive dependency, it should be specified as a top-level dependency.
