I think what’s weird is the formatting isn’t even something I can control for. In the past few MRs my tech lead asked me to apply changes he made which when compared has zero difference .
That would likely be whitespace. Most diffs have an option to compare whitespace. Your lead probably has that enabled and wants you using spaces or tabs exclusively and not mixed.
Something that VS does nicely is tells you at the bottom right what the document is using (CRLF vs LF and tabs vs spaces). Not sure how many others have that, but it is really nice.
Yeah this ignorant. The root of Americas problem isn’t the government, it isn’t the billionaires, it’s the people, the culture.
Billionaires don’t fund themselves, politicians don’t vote for themselves. The average adult has the literacy skills of a middle schooler and yet they’re entrusted to vote.
Schools aren’t failing just because teachers are underpaid. Learning is a two way street- the kids don’t want to learn. It’s the reason why most of our engineers and doctors are from cultures that value education.
The current American system is designed to exploit as much of the ignorant masses as possible.
This happened at intel and was very noticeable even back in 2010. Indians hires other Indians. At every company I’ve been at if you were not Indian you were not invited to the conversation. Sitting in meetings where you were excluded from 30% of the conversation was wild. I never felt like they were rude or anything though- just that I was an outsider.
Best team I worked with was very diverse and they actively worked to help each other get promoted and protect each other.
On a positive note I got replaced by a guy in India. Then after a year of them clambering over each other’s corpses for promotion and destroying the org from the inside, I got hired back on contract to unfuck the mess at 4x my previous salaried rate.
Nothing against India or Indians but the reason outsourcing fails is no one wants to be an outsourced workforce so they go for promotion first to get a better job. And I don’t blame them.
> Sitting in meetings where you were excluded from 30% of the conversation was wild.
I am curious, was this due to them speaking in a different language in actual professional meetings at Intel? I have often heard these reports, but in a social context.
I have never personally observed this in professional settings; but am curious to hear more so I can watch out for it if/when I do encounter it. It's odd because I would struggle to hold a professional conversation in any of the Indian languages that I speak (I have no idea how to say something like "thermal characteristics" or "power dissipation" in them); and would likely keep lapsing into English.
I have many Indian colleagues and they do tend not to speak English among them in the office. There needs to be someone else involved in the conversation for them to stick to English.
Another aspect is that I have found that they are quite hierarchical, probably a cultural trait. So how much they stick to English also depends on how senior the "non-Indian(s)" are compared to them. If you are their senior they are very nice.
> was this due to them speaking in a different language in actual professional meetings
This happened frequently at a WITCH I worked at out of college. The meeting would be in English then have segments change in the middle as certain speakers switched languages. Luckily, I often had a coworker stand up for me to mention to use English although I did miss many conversations.
There was an article exposing it wasn't just for / between Indians.
Indians were actively discriminating against other Indians if they weren't born into the "highest" caste of hinduism (the few percent only allowed to learn to read and write), or avoiding the "lowest caste" of hinduism (way over 90 percent).
This caste system discrimination in tech, is also used to discriminate against other minorities who are not Indian, originating from the Indian subcontinent.
Canada has been dealing with this more proactively than most counties with Indian diasporas, a process no doubt aided by the by the significant number of indo-canadian politicians familiar with the issue.
I worked at a company with a large multi-ethnic workforce. They had an Indian subsidiary but didn't play the H1B game. The rule was English only in the office to avoid exclusion.
> During an exclusive interview with NewsNation, Trump said he planned to strip the legal status of the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, who have been granted Temporary Protected Status.
Temporary Protected Status[0] is not nearly the same thing as having a green card or being naturalized.
He talks of deporting illegal immigtants —something Harris also now claims is a problem and moreover claims they are more efficient at the border than Trump was ;that’s a dubious claim but it shows she sees it as a problem as well. Over 60% of voters also see illegal immigration as a very serious problem, more see it as an issue. In addition India itself is strict and also deports illegals.
Nothing? Trump talks a lot. He didn't "drain the swamp" while he was president and he did not release the Kennedy CIA archives (he promised both).
He'll get a call from Thiel or Musk that they still need H1Bs, and that will be the end of it.
(I still think Trump is the lesser evil, since he is far more competent in foreign policy and the economy will improve. And he does exactly nothing w.r.t the scary sounding election talk.)
I don't need or even want a US president to be respected by other countries leaders. All I need is for the POTUS to not get this country involved in more foreign wars. Trump is a lapdog of Israel so he doesn't fit this bill, but what I'm saying is "foreign leaders laugh at him" falls flat. IDGAF.
Trump is planning on surrendering to Russia. (There's no other way to "end the war in a day"). That's a massive signal of weakness to America's adversaries.
The world was far more stable in 2016-2020. It does not matter what someone is called. Just watch what actually happens and overlook all the talk (we might as well explore what Harris is called; I think the attribute is "cackling" and not "laughing").
The NYT is not unbiased when it comes to Trump and none of these plans will be implemented. Again, the economy was good in 2016-2020.
Judge not by absolute standings but by relative standings. During the Trump presidency our competitor's economies were growing faster than America's: China, Germany, et cetera. America was losing its status as #1. During the Biden presidency every economy but America's took an absolute beating. Britain & Germany went into a deep recession. China's growth flatlined. America was pretty much the only economy to avoid getting curb-stomped and regained its status as the clear #1 economy.
Anybody can do well when there's a rising tide raising all boats. It takes a true master to do OK when everybody else is doing poorly.
P.S. The NYT has a significant both-sides-ism bias and is the only place you'll find pro-Trump articles outside of the right wing media.
> every economy but America's took an absolute beating. Britain & Germany went into a deep recession.
If you blow up Nordstream and lead the Europeans in a war that they only lose from, then their economies will tank. Inflation and job losses for ordinary Americans are high as well. Perhaps on paper the economy is doing relatively well.
(It is the first time that I have heard anyone describing Biden as a true master.)
You have to be consistent. If you say that presidents aren't responsible for external events, then you can't give Trump credit for the smooth sailing lack of external evennts of 2016-2019. If you say that they are, then you have to give Biden credit for weathering the storm during his presidency.
> (It is the first time that I have heard anyone describing Biden as a true master.)
Just letting the Fed do their job deserves most of the credit. Should be table stakes, but Trump has promised to %^@# that up.
I’m an engineer at a grocery chain that essentially has a monopoly in most of Texas. The chain has a good and well earned reputation for the public but it definitely uses underhanded monopolistic tactics to maintain dominance.
As it’s grown and expanded you can definitely tell that the ethics and how they treat workers / customers has gone down hill. Maybe it’s all the Amazon managers they’ve absorbed.
I have not even a rank neophytes understanding but these situations always remind me of the Hindu Trimurti, the balance of three powering the universe. Creation/dynamics gives way to preservation/ossification which eventually is destroyed/decays.
In the Vampire & Mage tabletop, there's Wild, Weaver, Wyrm, a direct parallel, which was a very fun cosmological tension.
Anyhow, this just feels like the lifecycle of companies. The young companies are dynamic & growing, but over times most orgs tend to ossify - even as they expand still becoming more deliberate & managed in their ways, punctuated by moments of renewed chaos & flourishing again. Extracting & preserving rather than growing. Until until until.
1. An economy driven by physical commodities like oil are susceptible to corruption and stagnation.
2. Norways dependence on oil has prevented it from doing anything meaningful economically or technologically.
Bambu labs got me into 3d printing. It’s the most seamless and simple 3d printer and functions as basically an appliance. Huge leap for 3d printing and I suspect we’re closer than ever to making jt affordable and easy.
I replaced my old Elegoo Neptune with a Bambu A1, and what a huge difference! I hated FDM printing for years, but now I use it all the time. I'm upgrading my resin printer next year, and can't wait to see what advances have been made in that realm.
Really? It's been nearly 20 years since Reprap, it's hard to imagine it maturing any more. If I get one I'll probably treat it like a belt sander or something, a tool that sits in the garage with plenty of fresh air. Agreed that it's a little concerning knowing some people that sit in a closed space with a dozen of these running (at that point you can smell the hot plastic...) but using common sense with good ventilation goes a long way.
I currently have a detached garage that wouldn’t be a good place for a printer. If I had an attached garage I could see it being a different situation.
As far as development goes, it seems like there has been a lot of advancement in just the past 5 years. Seeing what some of the high end commercial printers are capable of, I think there is still a lot of development left for what home printers can do. The Bambu printers are bound to get some competition. There are also a few competing technologies, and I’m willing to give it some more time to shake out. It still feels very much like a hobbyist tool for people who want to tinker a bit. I want to design and print without a lot of fuss.
I can’t find the exact video I first saw, but looking around I think it was full color resin printing. They were printing photorealistic figures of 2Pac, and I think some video game or animated characters as well.
I’m not sure how resin stacks up in terms of durability for making parts, but from the perspective of being able to print anything and having it look perfect, it blew my mind.
I was a non technical founder idealist. Then my friends told me I lacked the skills to be a business and a technical founder.
It was honest and useful. I dropped out of nursing school, went to business school and taught myself how to write code. I worked at some F500 companies for a few years (still there sadly).
But last week I launched my first product with a cofounder and it’s probably the best one on the market. My “technical founder” is much more technical than me but I’ve filled out a little of both gaps.
If you’re a non technical founder I can’t take you seriously. Unless you’re a walking pile of cash with a top hat, no sane technical founder would risk it.
Here’s a paradoxical take. If you build an AI you want it to be super intelligent and take power away from humanity. Why would you want humans to have power over something more intelligent and powerful than us, that’s called a weapon.
