Enhancing my natural features. A simple makeup tutorial
It's extremely obvious that Facebook knows what a good website looks like, versus what they deliver.

You can take a look at the entire ecosystem of React code out across so many repos and documentation sites, and then stand that next to Facebook proper, and then note the difference in tone, quality and psychological warfare.

https://reactjs.org

With that in mind, consider what kind of strategy and tactics Facebook's internal operations must be operating.
Define "senior". Senior citizen developers? Or you meant that title should mean stature? If you're still coding after being at it for >30 years then yes, you're worth that to help level up entire teams. But, yes, given the prevailing definition of senior, sure, they're worth nowhere near that.
If you had a strategy that worked, you would not be looking for competition.

Interesting. I also have mostly soundtracks in my playlists, for when I feel like listening to music at all (usually to drown out distractions). It's all soundtracks of things I've watched and enjoyed, and puts me in the mood of the memory of the movie or TV show its from. The music itself doesn't do very much at all for me directly.

Just tried it out, same issue. (Also on Firefox 61/OSX 10.13).
That's not an entirely accurate TLDR here as what ATI did back then is now considered standard practice for GPU drivers and is welcome. It is a bit different than the mobile space as GPU drivers are doing game-specific optimizations rather than benchmark-specific ones. The end user experience is a net win for the major titles, and as long as there's no visual cost it's considered fair game.

It did go too far, even to the extreme of Nvidia hardcoding in their GPU driver the exact camera path that 3dmark took ( https://www.extremetech.com/computing/54154-driver-irregular... ), which is more like what the mobile space is grappling with now. That was solved through a combination of scolding and by just changing the benchmarks to be what people actually do. You don't see 3dmark show up in GPU reviews much, you instead see performance results in a handful of major games. If mobile follows suit and shifts to doing things like benchmarking the average/90th/99th percentile of a game of Fortnite or something then these cheating practices become less feasible as a whole.

Nobody debates industry associations because they're just companies freely associating with each other. Those associations are, in-and-of-themselves, none of the average Joe's business.

Unions by comparison are highly political due to all of the special laws governing them. Federal laws like the NLRA are everyone's business so it's only to be expected that many people are going to put in their two cents.

Also, the nature of laws regarding unions is such that they can force many people, both employers and employees, to associate with a union whether they want to or not. This opens unions up to questions about their efficacy in a way that industry groups are not.
For people who are not familiar, there are 12 steps in an octave. The frequency of the note doubles for each octave. Thus, each "step" increase the frequency of the note by 2^(1/12) times. So you have the frequencies of each semitone as roughly:

1.00
1.06
1.12
1.19
1.26
1.33
1.41
1.50
1.59
1.68
1.78
1.89

This is the reason why "Do/Mi/So" (1/1.26/1.5, ~4/5/6) or "Do/Fa/La" (1/1.33/1.68, ~3/4/5) sound good to the ear.

Incidentally, the way the piano is tuned is different from guitar, where piano tuning is more precise (closer to the 2^(1/12) steps), and guitar more close to the integer relations.
Honestly I have very little insight into how the bigger firms work. I've only ever done this by myself. But I can imagine that it's a lot harder to come up with 1000 strategies that don't compete with each other for the same opportunities than it would be to hire a team of geniuses that can build a single high capacity strategy.

How California could affordably reach 100 percent clean electricity
"If you wrote buggy software, why would the software you wrote to check that software be any less buggy?"

I work in chip design, where bugs can be rather costly, e.g. $1mm for a new mask set, not to mention the months it takes to get back new hw. The situation described above is why we try to have one person do the design and a different person do the verification/testing. A lot of the time, the test writer will treat the design as a black box, not even look at the code, and instead verify to an external specification. (There's also white box testing, where you try to target specifc areas of the design that might be especially problematic.)

This does protect against issues like misinterpreted requirements, invalid assumptions of valid input and/or operating scenarios. But I think it also ends up as a lot more work, to have two people get familiar with whatever it is you're designing. The best method is probably a combination of both.
I find this interesting. The parallels up to this point. My intent is not to pick fun on anyone but to just relook at the conversation just had.

We're talking about users not understanding the technology they use daily.

jwalton, in trying to give an example with spark plugs, allowed a more knowledgeable user or practitioner, mirimir, to give a more technically-correct description.

It seems to echo the main problem we are discussing in which users of a technology are not the same as those who design or know the nitty-gritty details of that technology.

Assumptions learned from day to day use in that technology (all cylinders have one plug, the google box is the only box I need) can so easily be proven incorrect when speaking to an actual expert in that field.
jazz is said to approximate the scales that could be built off the '7-limit' intervals, which explains its more dissonant nature (heavy use of tritone which has a ratio of 7:5

That all sounds pretty baseless to me. is said to? By who? (Those people who find endless patterns in the measurements of the Egyptian pyramids, maybe.) I've never heard or read that. A tritone doesn't "have a ratio of 7:5", not in the equal temperament we use nowadays - 2^(6/12)=sqrt(2), or in its most literal/basic form of going up 6 perfect fifths i.e. (3/2)^6.
By gaming benchmarks, I mean falsifying results. Burst performance is the normal optimization for all CPUs and GPUs.

Most modern languages morphed from another. Nothing changed to prevent this cycle,but it takes at least a few hundred years.

I suspect a form of english would dominate for a few hundred years no matter the country.

There are plenty of non-western countries where large populations get displaced due to various reasons as well,so long as people get transplanted in large numbers,they will always merge their original language with the new one. Although,america is an exception due to it's unusual tolerance of multiculturalism and segregated foreigner communities.
This comes as no surprise. This is a company who has also been caught claiming their phone took a photo - but left in DSLR exif data, claiming a phone had UFS but shipped EMMC instead, boasting to work with dev community - only to lock them out months later, among other shady practices. They make nice phones at a good price, but is not a company to be trusted.
Done, thank you for confirming. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1489375
Each device has a pretty unique thermal profile(tablets dissipate heat better than small phones, more metal = better profile, etc) so these things tend to get tuned on a per-device basis.

We had one device I was helping bring up where you could run the GPU full-tilt for ~60s. After that the device would reboot and fail to come up until it had cooled enough. Was a fun process characterizing that device and our workloads in 60s bursts. Couple weeks later they had it tuned in where you could run it 24/7 as the thermal limits kicked in pretty aggressively.

Shader replacement was extremely popular for years - see AMD's infamous Doom3 shader replacement: https://www.anandtech.com/show/1488/6 . NVidia drivers did the same thing although they were (generally) a bit smarter about it, relying on shader fingerprinting rather than application fingerprinting to prevent embarrassing "rename the EXE" expose articles. They were notoriously caught using a benchmark's camera path as a fingerprint: https://www.extremetech.com/computing/54154-driver-irregular... .

GPU drivers are still loaded with such replacements, either to work around bugs or to optimize games where a developer partnership was impossible or otherwise rejected. I think that with the shift to lower-level GPU APIs this practice is beginning to fade, but it's basically been par for the course since programmable shaders became a thing.
My opinion is that your friend needs to get a grip.
If you enjoy a phone that runs hot, but only for a few minutes, depending on whether an empty battery or thermal protection kicks in first, sure.

Power management and thermal budgets are a very real thing. The times where all device’s components would run at full speed are (thankfully) over for quite some time.

20 years ago PCs had multiple incredibly loud constantly running fans, that I think hardly anyone would put up with anymore (and would obviously not work for phones anyway). Today’s phones are extremely more powerful than those PCs in many ways, and yet consume a fraction of energy per time unit. Does not work without complex power management.

When you have a well thought-out external specification, it really gives you lots of good material from which to derive all the right tests while still treating your implementation as a black box.

Unless you are implementing an established RFC or some other well-defined system, such a tight specification rarely exists in a software setting, and is very difficult to effectively design a priori. For this reason, techniques like test-driven development have arisen to try to make the programmer repeatedly and consistently assert their understanding of the specification via unit tests, while evolving those assumptions as needs and understandings change.

I guess, the simile isn't entirely on the same level. You may not know how many cylinders there are in your car, like you may not know the number of cores in the CPU of your computer. They are both essentially hidden.

But you do know how many pedals there are in the car and probably, how many switches there are for the lights, and that the wiper has different steps of speed etc. You even manage to control these few elements, because they are the user facing elements your dealing with, the interface. There's no need to unify the pedals into a single one and to have the car to decide, whether it means accelerate, break, or clutch. Doing so would alienate you from the very task of driving, from what it means and what risks are involved. Taking these few controls away from you in favor of an ambiguous I-know-it-all-so-you-should't-care interface of ultimate convenience would probably not increase the security of operations.

On the other hand, we may expect you, as a driver, to know that there is a engine, that this is why the car moves, that it needs gas/petrol in order to run, that deacceleration is proportional to speed, etc.

Why is it so different with anything involving a computer? Is it, because we're telling them so?
Shader replacement and fingerprinting is par for the course in the GPU industry. The ethics are arguable when it comes to applications that aren't benchmarks - is it really wrong for the vendor to apply post-facto optimization to give end-users a better experience? Certainly, though, in the case of benchmarks it's a slimy practice.

20 years ago, PCs had much smaller fans than they do today, and the cases usually had no separate fans of their own - the only fans you'd find would be in the power supply and on top of the CPU. And passive cooling for the CPU wasn't difficult to achieve with a big heatsink.

The industry didn't focus much on quietness, that's true.

Meltdown was enabled by a clear-cut violating of the memory access restrictions of x86. Intel simply did the permission check at the wrong point in the pipeline. It's not anything more obscure or clever than that, and it wasn't even an optimization as the end-to-end latency remains the same. It still did all the work, it just did it in the wrong order. Permission check was done after read access was done anyway.

Memory was accessed that the spec says was not accessible. This has nothing to do with side-channels. The side channel part of the attack was how the spec violation was exploited.

For Meltdown specifically Intel fucked up, AMD didn't. This is not at all vague. Whether or not this was due to luck or not is irrelevant, it was clearly NOT due to incompetence as you were pushing. You pushed a narrative that AMD was too incompetent ("missing optimization") to have a severe security bug. That has nothing to do with reality whatsoever.

Side note, side channel attacks are not exactly obscure. Guaranteed AMD & Intel have security experts that are well aware of how side channel attacks work long before any of meltdown & spectre came to light. They have been around for ages. Practical exploits of L1/L2 cache via mechanisms like Prime+Probe date back at least as far as 2005: https://eprint.iacr.org/2005/271.pdf

1.4GHz Athlons were a thing around 2000, almost 20 years ago, and had anything but "small fans" to be cooled. I used to build PCs too, and once I pretty much instantly burned up the die of one of those Athlons because I forgot to apply the heat paste.

Even with computers that could be run all passively at that time, there is just no comparison to today's smartphones, which sit in our pockets and are orders of magnitude more capable along almost every axis.
