The problem is that most places reward you based on "impact" somehow, not "impact had we not given you such a bad roadmap to follow," so being unplugged from the business side is rolling the dice w.r.t. future recognitio

I feel like basically the only way in which the original Harry Potter story is more believable is that in the original story, almost everyone is impressively thoughtless

Promoting cults is all well and good until your neighbor is in the wrong cult and then suddenly it's a disaster. My experience has been that "is religious" is not at all a good predictor of whether someone is going to be a &q

"Personality tests" have been a thing for a long time. The difference here seems to be that we're talking about diseases and not just differences between people.

I would definitely complain about this in code review without some performance testing showing that 1) it's actually faster than waiting for a lock and 2) it's better than just increasing the number of slots.

It's not that Indian culture somehow isn't as good. It's that there's sufficient supply there to fill all the positions at lower pay. If the exact same people manage to get a visa and transfer to SF, they will instantly

The problem with focusing on CoL as an "excuse" for low pay is that people really overemphasize how independent they really are from the world economy. It all seems like it works out evenly until you realize that if you ever move

I feel like for a very long time, the Right has been the most vocal about personal pride, "law and order," being an upstanding citizen, etc., but at the same time it's the Left that's still hamstringing themselves by try

Eh, i think you're thinking too small here. This whole thread is full of people saying things like, "When _I'm_ building a webapp," and "_My_ projects end up loading slowly," etc. Google is saying things like,

"technically stealing" here means "actually just regular old stealing."

.config/ and .local/ are the de facto /etc for users, but there is the set of XDG_ environment variables that are intended to fill that role.

This doesn't actually seem any better than Cython and is, in my opinion, many many years behind it. What am I missing here?

You're comparing mac people with intel vs mac people with M2. They are comparing non-mac people before M1 was released to after M1 was released and (rightly) pointing out that none of those people really care about this.

Honestly that price is still insane. M1 is great and all but good lord.

No it's not. Being independent just means your personal identity isn't "My political party is X." There's still your mental image of yourself and it shapes your opinions ("What would do I think the kind of per

I feel like you wouldn't work for a company like this unless you somehow believed that all the bullshit they were doing was for the greater good. I would imagine police probably also don't see themselves as racist-in-a-bad-way but

Honestly I do think it's racism that ultimately is responsible for the demographics of professional sports in the US. The system is powered by people and people do not consider all the players in the same way, e.g. https://w

The allegation is that gun violence is a requirement for ShotSpotter, but not the reason for it. The reason for it is that a magic wand that generates probable cause wherever and whenever you need it is extremely valuable to a police force

I'm sorry, what's the premise here? People don't run away from random gunfights that happen on the street? Honestly, I feel like it's more likely that a random person is not involved if they are running.

What I don't understand about this is what basis they could possibly have for making such a correction? The data is X, their algorithm says Y about it. Are they just claiming that "analysts" are better at triangulating than w

The difference is that 1) they sell it based on their claims about it and 2) it is admitted as evidence in a court of law. It's pretty different from "Let's just search everyone's houses. Probably someone is committing a

The police cannot just randomly search you and then say "Hey look! We found something so it's fine."

If i understand correctly, this is developed by Google and shipped with their keyboard. They aren't going to start suggesting custom lewd stickers to people.

1 & 2 will likely only work once or twice before they are caught. Also the police refuse to do anything, so presumably calling them in won't help. 3 is a fun idea, but probably will get you violence'd. 4 will definitely get yo

It's stupid for you . It costs Amazon only some difficult to measure lost opportunity that can't even be cited during performance reviews.

The point is that you don't know up front if or when that's going to happen.
