"citizen" is meaningful because people do have a shared understanding of its meaning - people who are arguing about who is and isn't a citizen are still agreeing about what a citizen is. This article doesn't seem to be claiming that the culture at Intel has the aspects that people normally refer to when they say "toxic culture", it's trying to express something different - there's no factual disagreement, only a semantic one, which means the word has failed to convey meaning.
> why would such a "rogue engineer" take such a risk for someone else?

It's well documented that people will often defer to authority, even if it's to do something they feel uneasy about [0]

Indeed, in my own experience as a younger engineer I had a manager sitting over my shoulder once dictating what I should but into an estimate, under my name. Indeed it was fairly innocuous stuff, and I'm sure he meant well, but still ...

In a business environment where you have all sorts of contractors, graduates, people floating through and a management culture of "getting things done" there are so many ways that this kind of thing can happen.

I like colors, my problem is mostly the sluggishness. I follow a link and I have to wait a while, without any feedback, until the new page is ready. There is no reason for these delays (from the point of view of the user). If I am interested in text-only browsing, the other browsers offer a much more user-friendly experience.
I sometimes get a little irritated at some of the "save the planet" type arguments. The planet will be just fine, it's gone through a lot of changes over the years and will continue to go through changes. One example I often show is the sea levels 16,000 BC as explained here https://www.nationalgeographic.org/maps/doggerland/ by National Geographic.

What is going to have problems is the health of the ever growing Human population. Us Humans may well be heading towards a crisis, the planet won't even notice.

BTW, I think we should be working hard to support a sustainable future for Humanity and the rest of the environment.

I happen to use the open source password manager from Keepass.info. It works on a local password file protected by strong crypto. Then, I use Dropbox to sync that file from device to device.

The problem with using the same password on multiple sites is this: if any one site gets pwnd, it gets a lot easier for the cybercreeps to pwn your account on other sites (says Obvious Man).

It doesn't take much technical skill to credential-stuff--to hammer a lot of sites with a list of credentials. So, keeping the list of sites you actually use a secret is not effective.

This whole deal sucks. But it's real.
> I doubt its going to be as capable as the ipad 2018 or chromebooks on low end hardware.

Forget 2018. This processor is roughly equal to the A8x (think iPads from 2016) and I doubt it will handle normal Windows 10 well on the 4 GB / 64 GB configuration.
Thanks for pointing that link out, I hadn't come across that API before.
i think it means "two in one" - i.e. its a laptop, and a tablet, in one. (i.e. its a laptop with a detachable keyboard).

Not sure they pioneered it - I had an ancient Android tablet where you could take the keyboard off (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asus_Eee_Pad_Transformer) that was released in 2011. Pretty sure that wasn't the first either - anyone know of any earlier ones?
You can. And if I recall correctly it's free for the first year.
"stable" is not "current", as with so many software projects; and indeed current is dated October 2012 according to the elinks WWW site.

But even that is wrong. Development in fact continued for eight years until July 2017.

If you’re really buying it for just the touchscreen then there’s a large swath of laptops that meet that requirement as well. I can imagine it’s 10” form factor being more useful for testing sites and android apps for that factor, though.
Yeah, and while you are doing that you are pulling stuff out of thin air, like the fact that he was asked to help – by some unknown stranger on Twitter. Surely doesn't look like that neutral stance that you are claiming to take.
Probably the TabletPCs pioneered it. And those were Microsoft, circa 2000 / 2005
No, it's enough time to allow it to be ignored by all significant manufacturers for at least another decade.

Somewhere between 5 and 10 years would have had its challenges but would be achievable. It would have required the government to actually govern, but would have been "discouraged" by industry.
I also would find an Android version really helpful. Will save a ton of data when roaming and will probably perform better in poor connectivity regions (only 2G and no 3G/4G). Would be great to know how to get this on an Android device.

You’d love the HSBC building in Hong Kong. HSBC own a large open space immediately in front of the building purely because its good feng shui to have an open view of the water [1]. It’s a completely open space in the most premium area of down town Hong Kong island, right next to the ferry terminal. It must be worth so much money.

Remember he didn't have the luxury of time here. He'd have surely designed something better if he had the chance to design, manufacture, and test it from the ground-up, but I doubt there was enough time to do such a thing. He probably tried to do the best with whatever he had at the time, on the off chance it'd still be useful. So he took the pre-designed parts of his Falcon rocket that could be useful and tried to use those.

It feels awkward that it is called "exotic". This exposes the common understanding of todays web as a set of services, that everyone is supposed and used to consume, while anything out of that scope is not regarded as normal. This is the opposite of what it should be.

Having multiple theses risks but does not necessitate more redundancy.

Yes, there are multiple points where an argument might occur. This risk occurs for all multi-thesis debates. Perhaps a DAG is more suited than a tree.

An example of the bias of having "X is better than Y" as the claim:

Claim: Tabs are better than Spaces.

Con: IDEs will handle spaces transparently and as effortlessly as if they were tabs.

Sub-con: This is not a "con" of tabs.

https://www.kialo.com/tabs-vs-spaces-16646/16646.0=16646.1-1...

This demonstrates that arguments for spaces are confused with arguments against tabs.

So good arguments to spaces will always occur as counter-arguments to tabs, not as positively phrased arguments to use spaces.

More obviously, arguments for spaces will appear red and disproving.

If you don't call that a bias, try starting a thread called "Kialo is a biased and simplistic platform." and see the effect.

My grasp on the subject of logical formalisms is a bit rusty, but I believe this bias can be expressed as a consequence of using propositional logic to simplify a world in which "tab" is not the logical opposite to "space" as true is to false. The objects you neglect to address unambiguously is:

- How do I differentiate between "Tabs are not better than spaces", "Spaces are better than tabs", and "Spaces are good"?

- How do I express that "Tabs are not better than spaces, and spaces are not better than tabs"?

- How do I express that the combination of tabs and spaces are better?

- How do I express that tabs are only good if accompanied by spaces?

- How do I express that tabs are just as good as spaces as long as they're accompanied by spaces?

Putting them in a tree that is biased at the top makes this very difficult.

The debate of the use of tabs and spaces is not able to be summarized in the one thesis "Tabs are better than spaces".

The thesis does not do a very good job of giving a collected overview of the debate. But it surely incites anger!

('This is not a "con" of tabs." is not itself a con of the argument, but a comment that the argument doesn't belong here. Ironically, the point it tries to make applies to itself.)

Also, why does the Kialo website hijack my right-click ability and my ability to copy-paste text?
You said I pulled it out of thin air. I didn't. What the hell...?
I've been sleeping from 1:30 AM to 6:15 AM on weekdays and at least 12 to 14 hours from Friday to Saturday and Saturday to Sunday. Been doing it for 4 years since I changed schedule. I don't feel tired or impaired at all. Usually able to start working around 7:30 AM (feel really sleepy before that).

Recently (couple of weeks) had a shift and now stay up to 3 AM on some days and catch a 1 and a half or 2-hour nap around 5 PM. I feel tired and impaired after waking up. Only get back to normal the other day.

My sleep is determined by the fact that besides a full time job, I'm pursuing a Doctorate and consistently try to get solid 9~10 hours of work+study every day, with 14-hour workdays every once in a while.

The amount of work I do or effort that I spend has absolutely nothing to do with how much or how well I sleep.

The amount of exercise I do, no matter how little, has a great impact.
I've yet to see a US citizen prosecuted in the US for "hate speech". That seems like more than paper to me.
There is a need for a proxy service, and indeed, they do exist. Just not usable for most people.

Such a service enters a contract with the domain owner to forward (or scan and mail, or shred, or whatever) everything (or only non-spam) that is sent there.

The law is happy, because that is your address now, and failure to forward is something between you and the service you used; you bear all responsibility wrt the sender.

The author of a popular novel writing application offers that for his customers, as many write under a pen name and don‘t want their name to be publically known.

Other than that... nothing. You could employ a lawyer, but that would be expensive. You could get one of those „hire a post box“ services, but again, too expensive if not really used for business.

Some registrars offer that, but not for .de domains.

This is an odd use of of the term caste. Or even class. Both of these imply low or no mobility within social hierarchies. But I don’t think this is the case.

“An Outer Party member could reach the Inner Party by chancing into an early job at a lottery-ticket company (such as Facebook or Google) or by becoming a successful entrepreneur. But that’s rare; most of the Outer Party prefers working for the Inner Party, gradually accumulating equity through stock grants and appreciating real estate.”
-If you look at the bios of VC “inner party” people, very few were born VC. Many became VC based on their work experience. The quote calls this a “lottery-ticket” experience implying that there’s no free will involved with the shift between statuses.

The article also calls out the difficulty of moving from service to skilled worker “outer party”-“The Service Class will likely never be able to drive/shop/handyman enough to rise to the Outer Party, at least not without additional training or skills.“

This is really odd because how else would you change status of not through training or skills? Complaining about randomness for skilled->VC and also about need for education for service->skilled seems like a mixed message.

Caste means a rigid hierarchy with no ability to change or even being born into ones status and no or limited marriage between castes [0]. This is not the case based on the level of mobility into and out of status that clearly breaks the definition of caste. This old paper from 1999 shows 24% of firms led by just Chinese or Indian immigrants [1]. So obviously they could not have been born into Silicon Valley castes if they are new to the US altogether.

The mobility to enter, exit, and change between these four defined statuses seems, to me, to disprove the entire premise of this article.

Perhaps the article would be more accurate if addressing issues of wealth and wealth segmenting social constructs like marriage, socialization within communities, etc.

> what, objectively, is the problem with that?

Nothing. But you can say that about asteroids that kill the planet as well.

That's basically nihilism. Many people want to live and enjoy nature, that's why. We just got conflicting interests of short-term thinking that resembles nihilism (Nothing matters - let's live life to the fullest) and long-term thinking / delayed gratification (I want my kids / all the animals / the next generation to have a nice life as well).

edit: for the semantics of "natural" - humans can be seen as a part of nature. It's just intellectual gymnastics if one defines us as natural or not. Some say humans aren't natural and have good reasons for it, some say they are and have good reasons for that. This discussion really isn't that meaningful. Many peole say we have responsibility because we have consciousness, but even that could be argued. It all depends on what you believe.
this might be a good way to filter for people who are fluent in the stack & dev environment you are measuring with, and have an intermediate or better level of base programming ability. this isn't a way to measure for other skills you might want people to have in a dev team (e.g. structuring code sensibly, controlling technical debt, experience with production deploys or whatever), and you're potentially going to miss highly capable devs who simply aren't fluent in what you're measuring, yet might be able to ramp up to be highly useful in a month or two.

i'm not a frontend dev , but having an 11 step technical question in only 1 hour seems a bit excessive. i'm more used to having a single technical question in one hour - with a few facets and some asymptotics, with an optional harder extension question for the less common person who can get a good solution to the first problem rapidly.

it kind of depends on what you want for the role --- do you have a bunch of boxes in the org chart where you want people who are intermediate-ish and can hit the ground running cranking out new features? or do you want some people with really good potential and are prepared to invest a bit in training them?

instead of focusing on the technical interview stage of the pipeline, another option would be to try adjusting the earlier stages. What evidence do you have that the filtering from 150 applicants down to 8 finalists is not throwing away a bunch of potentially good hires? e.g. What would happen if you tried to run all 150 applicants through the technical interview first?
This is a silly argument. Every regime has an arch and succumbs to corruption eventually. "Works for a while" describes every regime in history of mankind.

Yes...and far more accurately no, you can't actually write a parser for Forth with a fixed grammar, you can only write a complete interpreter for it as it is capable of modifying its own grammar on the fly. It is possible to define new words which when executed take over the input stream and do arbitrary things.
I have a very similar sleep cycle and I'm guessing it's pretty common among programmers I think(1).

I too tried to fight it a lot, tried everything under the sun to fix it but couldn't keep up for more than a few days. Now I've made my peace with it. If it's any consolation acceptance that I work better at night has been far more rewarding to me than trying to fight it and fix it.

This is all really bad and we're not on a good path here as a species...

But one thing to remember is that nature works locally. I think there is a chance to protect the environment through isolated "islands" - with no human contact whatsoever - where flora and fauna have the chance to come back.

This is not specific to AI, this should apply to capitalism as a whole. AI is just a tool. It's the value system that needs to be addressed. Data-driven capitalism usually has one objective: maximize profit.

Take youtube recommendation engine for instance. I am an engineer and I am really interested in a lot of stuff, physics, arts, economy, you name it. But on youtube I don't get recommendation for Feynman's lectures on Physics, or guided visits of the Louvre collection, I get shit like: "what happens if you throw a ton of dry ice in a pool" or "the sharpest knife made of cardboard" or "10 unforgettable goals".

This is pushing addictive crap on me, because the objective function of the recommendation engine literally is: maximize the time people spend watching stuff. Why? Because of ad revenues!

What culture needs to curb is capitalism. AI will follow.

Equally terrible is the same comparison about bugs, but it's easier to make people flip because it happened in our lifetime (recent and so fast!):

When I was young, I was driving a small bike. Having mosquitoes or flies clouds was a common occurrence on the road and the best motivator to wear a helmet for a youngster not bothered by security.

Nowadays, I'm still driving a bike, although a bigger one. But I encounter a bug cloud maybe once a year.

Our garden is also quite silent, and I have to go to the country side to hear the bugs again.

Given the massive role of fishes and bugs in our ecosystem, this is more than alarming.

We already have a hard time making people aware of one single issue, such as global warming. But the reality of the scale of our fuck up is so beyond that, as we have a bleak role in:

- global warming

- killing most animals, including fished and bugs

- then selectively breading the remaining life to serve our interest only, annihilating biodiversity and its balance

- destruction of huge biomes by either exploiting it or polluting it

- consuming resources at a rate that make even the most abundant of them seem scarce

- polluting air and water to such a scale it's becoming a health issue

Scientists are alarmed by one topic, saying we should do something before it's too late.

However, take all those topics together and the big picture seems an impossible battle to win, which ironically we fight against ourself, that is leading us to the worst possible ending
