Yes, I agree, much of the blame lies with GitHub -- but realistically, GitHub isn't going to change to accommodate tools like jj.

Looks like a nice project! Will try it out next week. In the meantime, I'll share my thoughts on jj in general, since I assume most readers here won't have tried jj. I started using jj a few months ago. I had used Fig previousl

We just had blinds installed from ublockout.com (hope it's not against the rules to link this - I have zero affiliation with them other than being a recent customer). The price was reasonable and they do the job. By far the biggest s

I'd be interested in utilization. When I was there and had my kids, it was 12 weeks, and I never took the full 12 weeks because it was too long for me. (I took 6, the 7, then 4-5 IIRC.)

Nice try, ChatGPT. More seriously, for me it's the "likely".

With low rates, there was a lot of hiring, and the supply demand curve for SWE jobs was in favor of employees. So companies had to compete more for employees, leading to perks like remote work. In an era of hiring freezes and layoffs (inc

Yeah I had to leave /r/texas, very low signal:noise. /r/dallas is better, at least.

Self-reply since I can't edit my comment: I used professional connections, not personal ones. And all it did was get me an initial interview vs. being ignored by HR.

That's a very odd take, not what I meant at all. All it got me was an interview, and then I went through the standard process, at two different companies.

Specifically, I asked a former colleague at Google to to ask one of his connections at the prospective employer to ping HR. Sounds like you thought I was asking my dad's friend to help me or something...?

I don't really want to do anything to deanonymize a guy who clearly wants to be anonymous. But I will say that at the time he had long hair.

I met Gwern once, when he came to the NYC Less Wrong meetup. I don't think he was internet-famous yet. It was probably 12 years ago or so, but based on my recollection, I'm totally willing to believe that he lives very frugally.

When I last changed jobs, I started looking at the end of 2021. I was a staff SWE at Google, MS CS from Stanford, etc. - a good resume. I also found myself applying into a black hole. But when I used second degree connections to get someo

None, by definition, right? Because the ones where policy works don't have declining birth rates.

It's not an argument, it's just a definitional thing, and I don't know much about Christianity or Paul but I don't see why it should have to "account" for him.

Whether it comes from the mother or father; matrilineal in this context means that you're Jewish if your mother is Jewish.

> Being Jewish, and having some Jewish DNA: are they the same thing? Judaism is based on matrilineal descent, so depending on where the DNA comes from, yes.

Not that it matters, but I was curious and so I looked it up: the three-judge panel comprised one Obama-appointed judge and two Trump-appointed judges.

Happy to route the feedback. Obviously we should be filtering out games that aren't accessible to a given user.

My kids use Roblox. There _are_ parental controls you can enable through Roblox. When my twins turned nine, I had to enable 9+ games for them. I believe the age cutoffs are 9+, 13+, and 17+. I think anything with drugs should be 17+, an

I'm a pretty senior IC at Roblox, and my new hire offer was 40% cash / 60% RSUs. It's now closer to 33/67 with refresher grants. Roblox pays very competitively (see levels.fyi). The apparent strategy is to try to hire

I don't think that was implied by the OP. OP just pointed out that "governments" and "the world" are not the same thing.

Not AFAIK, and IIRC (at least as of this conversation, which was probably around 2010) he doesn't think cows are sapient either.

That's all fair, but the context of the conversation was the present day, not the aggregate of all human history.

Eliezer once told me that he thinks people aren't vegetarian because they don't think animals are sapient. And I tried to explain to him that actually most people aren't vegetarian because they don't think about it very
