Shoes: definitely. But it applies to other, seemingly mundane things. e.g. Cookware, Vacuum Cleaner, Furniture etc. The quality differential b/w a dyson and the cheap $20 vaccuuum is staggering; using a dyson is a pleasant experience while the $20 cheapo? Not so much.

Don't get me wrong. When I was a grad student, I bought the cheapest vacuum, cheapest shoes and clothes. But I did know that better quality things did exist, and didn't hesitate to purchase them when I could finally afford to.

>starts stuttering with just 5-6 Chrome tabs open.

I have a 3rd Gen, and have several dozen tabs open right now, with no issues, stutter or otherwise. One is playing a video, quite a few are also larger page/webapps (e.g. Gmail, Trello, Github in a large PR). I am have the 1440p version, and am plugged into an external monitor that is at 1440p, which should be further taxing the integrated graphics, but it's not showing. I can't imagine you're coming close to hitting any memory limits with just five or six tabs, so presumably something compute related?

What five to six tabs cause stuttering?
What message? That you either think what the majority tells you to think, or they'll ruin you? Not exactly winning hearts and minds.

13% improvement in performance from people working at home
At a previous job they finally deprecated RC4-MD5, long after almost everyone had stopped using it.

About a week later they had to re-enable it, because it turned out a few major customers had some old SPARC (IIRC?) boxes that used the service. The extra overhead of non RC4-MD5 ciphers was crippling them. There was some seriously frantic back and forth with the customer to get the situation resolved and figure out a timeline to finally, finally, finally deprecate RC4-MD5.
Can someone explain to me what the point of an i7 (or even an i5) is on a laptop? Aside from speed? They all have dual core processors. It's not like the desktop lineup where each step up gets more cores.
Interesting shape...
Quicklinks had context within the active window.
For the X1 Carbon and Yoga, due to the thin profile, you are better off with an i5 CPU. The i7 will thermal throttle under load, so while you will get better burst performance, the i5 is actually better performance for longer operations.

I just got the X1 Yoga (i5 7300u, 16GB) and so far haven't had any thermal issues with it.

Insightful post
I couldn't have caricatured the original posts better myself. Bravo.
That's funny, I also went to Ede on the map (I have family that lives there.) The Hoge Veluwe is actually a mix of yellow and green, but the actual trees are yellow.

If you put the quality on Ultra the trees are suddenly visible as trees.

Also, looking at the scale: Ede is around 20-25m above sea level, the ground of the trees is around 30m above sea level, and the trees are around 45m above sea level. So the trees are around 10-15 meters tall, fairly consistently.

This is my main dev machine, although I bought the 4th gen (right before they retired it last Fall). It's a beautiful dev machine as soon as you put Linux on it. I have the highest end specs and it runs really smooth. And as this article explains, the build quality is top notch. Highly recommended laptop.
Doesn't that encourage coercive behavior from employers? It seems like they could lowball an unemployed individual because they know they'll be strongly penalized for not accepting even a bad job offer. The earlier comment also makes it sound like even if you don't apply for a job, someone could offer you a bad one and you'd be forced to either accept it or lose your benefits (which sounds ripe for abuse).
My opinion:

Do QOS on the type of packets, not the source/destination. VOIP, gaming? To the front of the line. Web? Firmly in the middle. Streaming next. Downloads/BT? To the back.

Every packet is not treated equally, but prioritized according to the needs of the consumer. The source or destination of the packets shouldn't matter.

EDIT: I've implemented this very policy in an office, and despite the fact that the links in and out were regularly saturated and QOS was triggered - nobody complained, because their expectations were met. Netflix had the same priority as YouTube. Downloads of Linux ISOs or the latest GOT episode never interrupted in-progres VOIP calls.

I've read on it and continue to read on it. There's enough material on the internet on it. Start with a quora search for a general feel of what is being asked about it and get a feel of why it is in such demand.

Then validate the solution once you've determined there's sufficient interest in it. Read the recently translated(Chinese to English) whitepaper on ANS https://github.com/neo-project/neo/wiki/Whitepaper-1.1

Finally, don't get bogged down with stifling analysis paralysis - invest in or develop on the platform if you like it. Don't feel angry at others nor be jealous of them for previous misses. Make a bet - if you win, you win and if you don't life goes on. Start again.
Aside from speed? Nothing. Similarly to the desktop CPUs. More cores are just one way to achieve more speed.
More like "the [heretic] has burned any social capital or respect their coworkers might have had for them, and so no longer are capable of working in a collaborative environment with their peers"

This says more about the bigotry and intolerance of the coworkers than the author of the manifesto. It also confirms the manifesto author's point entirely about the echo-chamber hostility towards anyone who doesn't toe the line.

If someone can't read that thoughtful, polite, sincere, and clearly-written piece and respond without "losing respect for their co-worker", they are far too sensitive.

Let me ask you this: would it not be a good way to spend $30 more for a good Levi's, that fit well and last at least twice as long, besides looking very good?

I don't expect to change your mind, just to present alternative views on utility and money. Personally, I love the fact that an excellent quality jeans (Calvin Klein) can be had for less than $100 in today's world. My point is that even luxury goods are not that unaffordable today, and maybe people should give more thought to their purchases than just the price.

Another example: I've been buying Hanes/Fruit of the Loom underwear all my life (I'm a guy). Recently I invested in luxury underwear. The difference is just staggering; the new ones are so much more comfortable and fit so snugly. I couldn't believe I had lived so much of my life in the discomfort of cheap underwear.

I think the value of debating it is overrated. This thread on Twitter summarizes why I don't think debate on this issue is valuable: https://twitter.com/drnerdlove/status/894200932489146370

I'd also add to that the notion of the Overton Window. There are many views we as a society decide are not debateable, and debating them would normalize those viewpoints.
> You really think a single engineer's marginal contribution to speed improvements of Google search results or engagement improvements in Facebook's newsfeed are of similar value to highly-technical life-saving treatment, delivered at scale in hospitals?

It's not "at scale" though if we're talking about a single doctor, is my point. Of course saving a life is more important than saving one person a tenth of a second or making them slightly happier - but if you do enough of the latter then it adds up to something just as important as the former.

> Certainly, I could imagine the latter being devalued, at the physician level, if there were good automated alternatives. But, there aren't.

There's a limit to how much impact one doctor can have. A "10x doctor" can't save that many more lives, because they only ever save lives on a 1:1 basis.

> Does your opinion hold of engineers working on Snap and Instagram?

Yes, to the extent that they're actually enhancing people's lives. I've known Snapchat bring a lot of happiness to people, in a very human, social-based way; I don't know Instagram well enough but I'd imagine it's similar. It's certainly possible for well-paid engineers to be producing things that negatively impact other people (e.g. "dark patterns" in UI), but I think that's very much the exception rather than the rule.
Maybe that was the only viable option back then. Today, more people are willing to pay for services and not be bothered by mostly irrelevant and annoying ads! Yet, Google isn't changing as we're the product!

People are fired for exhibiting corrosive, counterproductive, or otherwise bad attitudes every day. Are they all victims of "textbook thoughtcrime punishment?"

The Google manifesto does not represent a "corrosive, counterproductive, or otherwise bad attitude." That so many people are insane or lazy enough to think it does is precisely the author's point.

You misunderstand what a spec is. And you misunderstand what product management is. At no point did I say software engineers aren't responsible for designing and building software. And at no point did I say designing solutions doesn't require intimate knowledge of those systems and capabilities. In fact, that's exactly what I've been saying.

That's what software engineers are there for. To provide expert knowledge and guidance.

But, do you think the electrical engineers defined the spec for One World Trade Center? No they didn't. They got the spec from the architects and they worked to satisfy those requirements.

The spec is not static. There is no design/spec/build/test pipeline in the strictest sense. The spec is dynamic. It's updated through design/spec/build/test iterations.

Just like an electrical engineer may surface new knowledge back to an architect that requires the spec to change... or an electrician in the field will surface new knowledge back to the electrical engineer that requires the spec to change.

Changing the spec is expected. It's called change management.

I don't need to get on board with anything. Google isn't getting left behind anytime soon. And the way they approach software engineering is largely the correct way; I agree with it. (They do however lack coherent product management in some areas.)
I'm same with the i7-7500U on my XPS 13. It's an example of Intel market segmentation where the most expensive isn't really any better, and i'm looking forward to my next Ultralight work laptop being an AMD job - the better graphics will be nice too.
In fairness, one of the biggest advantages I get from biking is that I don't need to own a car at all. In the US, this is an average savings of around $8500/year[0]. (I could throw away my bike and buy a new one every time I got a flat or it needed maintenanced and I'd still come out ahead.)

I'm not sure the best way to go about having a car for 1-2 months of the year. Granted, I can take the bus, but for some people, that's not an option.

(The year I got my bike (2011) was the year we had 90 days over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Today the high is a nice, cool 90 degrees.)

Calling this a "manifesto" is mostly laziness. It is not actually a manifesto. It is a call to dialog. It is a memo that identifies and describes a perceived problem and thoughtfully follows through with some reasonable suggestions for what could be done about it.

While one can tolerate people referring to it as a manifesto for the sake of clarity, since his name is not common knowledge and there is no other catchy title associated with it, it's not reasonable to use that language to imply that what was written is actually a manifesto by the dictionary definition of the word.

A manifesto is a published verbal declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party or government.

That is quite clearly not what the author's piece actually is.
At least these professional landlords own the properties and thus have some sort of stake in the matter. A friend of mine some how managed to rent multiple apartments at the same time and then rented them all out via AirBnb. He lived with his girlfriend, so he was essentially a professional landlord who didn't own any property.

I like AirBnb but with time it's warts are being exposed. After being racially profiled multiple times, having a host cancel on me at the last minute and sending my money back via Western Union, and other annoyances I now consider hotels about 50% of the time after almost exclusively doing AirBnb.
There's something wrong with your laptop, the new MBPs shouldn't do that in my experience. I'd recommend visiting a Genius Bar near you!
What about guarantees? That is a large component of auction price estimates. A lot of these big name paintings are sold with the house guaranteeing a price to the seller. Can't have a full understanding of the industry without understanding that component.
And that is precisely why (imo) the finance world engineered the outsourcing strategy (and invested heavily in off shore body shops) in late 90s. At least that is how it looked to me in those days.

(The official story was that low skill IT jobs are sent off shore to help the bottom line. This, the official reason for a service and information economy to tech transfer its crown jewels, never made any sense. Consider that software craft is mostly learned on the job, thus gutting the entry level insures future deficits in higher levels. And further that by near universal account, outsourced software projects are technically subpar and subject to multiple rewrites. All this while entire floors at investment banks' IT departments were 'let go'.

You do the math.)
> I have not figured out how this would solve the problem of on-blockchain debt

There really is no problem, unless you have unrealistic expectations as to what a blockchain can do.

There’s essentially no difference between lending a company money, with which it purchases machinery, and lending this machinery directly to the company. Believing a blockchain can ensure that when I lend you my car (a form of machinery) I will get it back without a scratch, is simply unreasonable.
