41,793,100 | comment | apercu | 2024-10-09T21:53:57 | null | I found it interesting that Madison, WI is on par with Chicago, and pay is better than Milwaukee. Digging in a little it's because global tech companies have offices in Madison (also Epic, but even though I was in Toronto for 20 years and thus out of date, I never knew Epic to be a high paying company), and Milwaukee seems to be regionals (Uline & Kohls - and retail rarely pays top dollar for tech talent). | null | null | 41,792,055 | 41,792,055 | null | [

41,793,110 | comment | int_19h | 2024-10-09T21:55:18 | null | I think it's disingenuous to describe actively forcing people to speak and write language other than their preferred one as "a bit of an extra push".<p>Speaking more broadly, languages aren't persons and so they don't have rights; people do. Francophone Quebecois should have the right to live in a society in which knowledge of French alone doesn't put one at a significant immediate disadvantage, but I don't think there's a right to not be offended by use of other languages around them, or to force other people to switch their primary language.<p>In the context of the sign law, regulations on <i>absolute</i> legibility of French text would be sufficient to achieve the former goal, while the actual law that Quebec has is about the latter - that is the whole point of the "extra push". If anything, I would say that <i>that</i> is a good example of hardcore nationalism, actually, because it places the interests of the abstract generalized nation over the interests of concrete people who live there. | null | null | 41,792,688 | 41,787,647 | null | null | null | null |

41,793,124 | comment | mgsouth | 2024-10-09T21:56:43 | null | OK, one more round. An API spec is a <i>contract</i>, not a <i>guarentee of correctness.</i> You, as the client, are free to pass me any data that fits the spec. If my parsing library does the wrong thing, then I've got a bug and need to fix it. My tests are also defective and need to be adjusted.<p>If you passed 3.974737373 to cos(x), and got back 200.0, would you be mollified if the developers told you "that value clearly isn't in the unit test cases, so you're in undefined behavior"? Of course not. The <i>spec</i> might be "x is a single-float by value, 0.0 <= x < 2.0 * PI, result is the cosine of X as a single-float." That's a contract, an intent--an API.<p>The same for a mail parser. If my library croaks with a valid (per RFC) address then I've got a problem. If I try to provide some long, custom, set of cases I will or won't support, then my customer developers are going to be rightfully annoyed. What are <i>they</i> supposed to do when they get a valid but unsupported address? Note we're not talking about carving out broad exceptions reasonable in context ("RFC 5322 except we don't support raw IP addresses foo@[1.2.3.4]", "we treat all usernames as case-insensitive"). And we're not talking about "Our spec (intent) is foo, but we've only tested blah blah blah."<p>Early in my career I would get pretty frustrated by users who were not concerned with arranging their data and procedures the right way, clueless about what they <i>really</i> were doing. OK, so I still get frustrated by stupid :) But it's gradually seeped into my head that what matters is the user's intentions. Specs are an imperfect simplificaton of those very complex things, APIs are imperfect simplifcations of the specs, and our beautiful code and distributed clusters and redundant networks are extremely limited and imperfect implementations of the APIs. Some especially harmful potential flaws get extra attention during arch, implementation, and testing. When things get too far out we fix them. | null | null | 41,792,198 | 41,758,371 | null | null | null | null |

41,793,173 | comment | int_19h | 2024-10-09T22:02:05 | null | Sometimes one is really just a shibboleth for the other. I grew up in Russia, and my native Southern Russian dialect was similarly derided as "uneducated peasant speech" by some schoolteachers, with a similar subtext - that, ironically, in an area where that dialect is predominant. But then you see the same argument applied to Ukrainian and Belarusian (that share some of the distinctive features) and realize that it's not <i>just</i> about being a "roadblock in pursuit of knowledge", even if that is used as a convenient justification that people might even genuinely believe in themselves when they use it - because they, in turn, were culturally conditioned to accept it as valid. It doesn't really make much sense as a reason when you think about it objectively, though. | null | null | 41,792,761 | 41,787,647 | null | null | null | null |

For example think of a company that invents a miracle drug that only costs $1 to produce. The net benefit to humanity would be to open up production and sell it to everyone who needs it for a few bucks, but of course the company will do everything it can to maintain a monopoly and sell the drug for $X0000/dose, even if relatively few people can obtain it. Lawyers and lobbyists will get paid a lot of money to get the second outcome, even though they're producing negative value overall. | null | null | 41,792,365 | 41,784,287 | null | [

Often I'll have like 5 different conversations involving different people all around the same thing, and the only way to bring them all together is to start a channel which then either sits around forever or eventually gets archived and disappears. There's no way to move messages from one channel to the other to collect a history of comments, so it's not terribly useful for advancing a concern from one group to another as it collects receipts. Instead, the old thread with the old receipt dies completely and the context has to be rebuilt for every new group of people you are talking to. | null | null | 41,792,624 | 41,765,127 | null | [
