That does appear to be where some of their more outlandish pricing comes from. They'll either do a repair that brings the machine up to snuff (bar normal wear), or they won't.

So that bent pin is now a substandard, weakened part. If that pin's in a socket, the socket oughta be replaced. But Apple don't expect local techs to be soldering things, so the socket doesn't get replaced, the whole subassembly does. Next thing you know, you're getting a whole motherboard for that bent pin. And they were stupidly expensive even before they started soldering ram (& storage?) to them.

If that wasn't expensive enough, the liquid indicators play hell with this, for exactly the same reason. If they actually believe there's liquid damage, the list of subassemblies that need to be replaced to bring the machine up to par, gets very spendy very quickly.

I don't know if there's really an easy way to change this. The more you try to standardise the operation, the less flexible it gets. Overkill is great when it's on Apple's dime, and shocking when it isn't.

These are two independent data points.

The first is the bulk loss stats.

The second is an article discussing India's poor audit results in the ICAO safety audit, per the quote above the link and sourced to it.

I'm not sure how you can claim that the second link doesn't "link to anything about hull loss, safety issues, aircraft, training". It is the result of an independent safety audit by the ICAO, which encompasses licensing, operations, airworthiness, and a number of other categories[0].

Not really dismissing it, but if people are too stupid to understand that if you put something in public someone will make use of it in a way or another.

I believe the reason why we see this kind of news is because of the ML/AI/big data gold rush, it's finally affordable and everyone wants data so ofc they want the cheapest way and the most useful data is personal data and on and on...
If you've specialized and valuable skills that are extremely hard to replace you should be fine. But if you're doing generic stuff it's time to take a cold hard look at what your career will be in the next 25 years.

I agree completely. After ignoring my career and staying at one job for 10 years, I woke up in my mid 30s and realized I was way behind the times. I was a C/C++ bit twiddler.

I started over, took a lateral salary move on a path of being a .Net “Enterprise Developer”. Eight years, 4 jobs, a lot of studying, and humbling myself under much younger team lead, I got a job as a dev team lead responsible for building a software development department.

After that, I again saw the writing on the wall and knew I needed to make another pivot. I had a choice between another job as an architect leading a team of 10 on a Windows/.Net product paying $15K+ more or being “just a developer” in title making $7K more but with a chance to work with tech that the cool kids were doing. I chose the latter.

At this point, all of the standard “full stack developer” jobs are paying less than I make now. But I still need to learn $frontend_framework_of_the_week along with Node to add onto my architecture experience.

>Yes and the price would be near 0 (i.e. 'priced in' crazy risk) because nobody is stupid enough to buy shares from those who have massive leverage over them.

Even without insider trading laws, it would still be illegal for executives to do things that hurt the company in the name of their own financial gain, as this would be a breach of their fiduciary duty to the company. It's a separate issue to insider trading.

>There wouldn't be much of a market for equity, there certainly wouldn't be any 'publicly traded companies' because that would be pointless.

This is simply false, as evidenced by the size of other markets that lack insider trading laws, like real estate, commodities or cryptocurrency (or equities markets before insider trading regulations were introduced).
That isn't a fair characterization. Most of this is going to be subjective because there's no quantifiable metric for a drug's "pleasantness," but crystalized cocaine is the 1:1 comparison being made.

White-boarding challenges are--just as you said--a series of puzzles and nothing more. I also do lots of open source / make (significant) side projects, but I think it's important to be able to do these challenge problems and to be able to do them fast and to explain yourself well. I just can't respect another dev who can't reason through toy problems fast. The difference between a dev who can't toy program and one who can is the difference between a mechanic and an engineer in my opinion.

Anyway, something that has helped me get far in industry is writing detailed blog posts / post-mortems for my projects. They really help convey the fact that you know what you're doing and that you're passionate, and it's there that you can show that you have mastery of all these domain specific conecepts like `Joint Tables` and `Freshness` algorithms. You post those articles on LinkedIn and I guarantee recruiters will be all over you. Recruiters from real companies that you actually want to work for. At least that was the case for me.

My experience with coffee chains is the chains are predictably mediocre or bad, and the small shops are less predictable but on average generally much better than the chains (with the occasional place that's a lot worse than the chains, but this is rare from my experience).

What do you mean?
The point is not the amount of revenue. The point is that having billion-dollar inheritances creates incredibly skewed political incentives which end up leading to significant harms.

If they taxed the estates at a high marginal rate with no gaping loopholes, auctioned off all the assets thereby recovered by the government, and then just zeroed out the bits representing the dollars in the resulting accounts, that would be just fine with me.

Ultra ultra wealthy people are not being “punished” by having their estates taxed at a steep top marginal rate. The great-great-grandchildren of industry titans do not have a preordained right to massive wealth at the whole society’s expense. Money is a social construct, and can and should be designed to work for all of us.

In a functioning society with a growing (or even stagnant) economy, each generation should inherit a greater wealth of public infrastructure, capital, services, knowledge, ... than the previous one. Instead, in our society there is an incentive for public officials to transfer collective assets to individual aristocrats in corrupt deals, to underfund/destroy public institutions, to take out loans guaranteed by the state and pocket the money, etc., impoverishing the next generation. This amounts to basically theft/fraud against the polis.

Wow, perfect, thanks!
Seems like the truth, not an excuse.
The prospect of being a senior dev and 40 is terrifying to me. The only ones who are treated with any respect are the "real" wizards - i.e. the guys who spent every spare second if their life breathing tech.

I’m not a wizard, my work/life/exercise balance is pretty good and I’m in my mid 40s.

I would hate to be “just a senior developer” competing with younger people who could do just as well for less money.

I feel my value add is architecture. I’m a hands on developer by choice, but I can also step in and lead projects, do Devops, speak to CxOs, I know AWS from a development, Devops, and netops perspective pretty well.

That does mean that only certain types of companies will pay me for that skillset - mostly smaller companies without dedicated people for all those areas.
But cocaine isn't just caffeine dialed up to 11. The legality of one versus the other has to do more with cocaine's far greater acute and long term health risks when consumed at levels that provide effect.
There is nothing “rightful” about a 100 million dollar inheritance (or whatever). Just like there is nothing “rightful” about inheriting a royal throne. Money is an arbitrary social convention, and wealth is generated by the whole society not by single individuals.

Inheritances that provide centuries of descendants with a work-free life and the power/influence to corrupt the government make a grotesque mockery of our society / politics.
It's also observable on the scale of galaxies. Evidence for dark matter includes observed inconsistency between galactic rotation curver and total mass estimates. But yes, some of the earliest evidence (decades of it) was unexpected behavior of galactic clusters.

Anyway, what we expect to see here is what's typical at our distance from Sagittarius A[star], and distance from the galactic plane.

Also, I gotta say that the galactic dark matter distribution reminds me a lot of Vinge's "Slow Zone" ;) A Fire Upon the Deep came out in 1992. I wonder whether he had dark matter in mind. He never used the term, as I recall.
The writing was awkward, lecturey, and belaboring points. I get it, it's an essay wrapped in something else, but something less palatable, not more. Like sister post, I often find that my taste wasn't great when I was younger, but this is one that I remember sucking even back when I read it. Still, the idea being explored is worthy. though only now am I trying to go mostly meatless.
How is VSCode different from Firefox? Both have telemetry enabled by default

Yep. So does Google Chrome, Apple macOS, Apple iOS, Canonical Ubuntu, and an uncountable number of programs, apps, and websites.

But VSCode is a Microsoft product, so it gives us an opportunity to do some serious pearl clutching and collectively lose our shit.

China has enabled trading to be easier. I have a device, PlusX 5501, just patented across US and some African countries. Officially not launched. Chinese companies have over $800000 in sales for nearly the same device some with innovations not on the original device. As I work on the software front, my bet is that I will make my innovation on the software, potential name brand markup as well as support.

MDN isn't scrolljacking, they just set “scroll-behavior: smooth;” [1]. It's a native CSS property and integrates with native scrolling, which is why mouse wheels, touchpads, touchscreens, etc are working fine. I would open a bug report with the extension, it needs to specify the scrolling mode it wants, rather than defaulting to whatever the website chose.

If not exporting the arms wouldn't make a difference, it won't make a difference.

Modern weapons systems are very complicated and most importers require a continued dialogue with the exporting country -- with technical staff but also officials of various kinds -- to be able to keep things working. This allows the arms exporting country to maintain political influence and leverage. In an environment where other, hostile exporters would be happy to take one's place, maintaining that influence is an important practical concern.

Funny, I can remember all sorts of crazy things. But I will choke on a name. Frustrating!

And because it happens, despite honest intent to avoid it, I never let anyone else, who gets stuck with this damn thing, feel bad about it.

Edit: To the poor, deserving soul forgotten, I usually express some variation on my frustration expressed here, and let them know I am totally good for a save, or favor, whatever in return for understanding. Just say the word.

Acetone is not something you should purposely expose yourself to but it is also not an especially dangerous substance. The human body produces small amounts of it during normal metabolism; more if you're diabetic or drink a lot of alcohol.
I don't see it mentioned on wikipedia, but one tin-pot theory I heard once and quite liked was:

* The universe at the moment is on average large, cold and quite hostile to life.

* At some point in the past all the energy in the universe was concentrated roughly at one point

* So, in between, the universe was a soup of energy that would have been, on average, warm, comfortable and conducive to life.

It dovetails with this because it is a plausible "why would life have evolved somewhere else but not here" counterargument. I wouldn't buy it though, it seems likely to me that earth's life is a local phenomenon.
I've worked at an AASP and managed Apple Self Service programs at two companies so I have a bit more information to what you posted.

Apple is very strict when it comes to service repairs because the supply chain and processes for receiving parts is essentially the same between AASP repairs and those done at stores and at depot centers. Nowadays, AASP repairs represent a tiny fraction of all repairs and Apple grandfathering old AASPs and allowing companies to participate in Self Service repairs is more of a courtesy than anything else.

- AASPs can order spare parts under an "exchange" option or as "new". New parts are typically ordered when a customer has lost an item (keycap, charger, apple remote). Everything else usually gets processed as an exchange repair. Apple learns a lot from the defective parts it receives during a repair. They also don't want defective/broken parts floating around eBay so it provides AASPs a monetary incentive to send back KBBs.
- AASPs can keep parts on-hand. These parts can be purchased on a credit line and the AASP will receive a refund on the cost of these parts after the repair is done and the KBB (known bad board/part) is sent to Apple. Plus they will receive compensation if the product is under warranty in the amount of 75-100 bucks for doing the repair right.
- I would agree that not everything in GSX should be kept highly confidential. Apple's takeapart guides are really awesome and I wish they were published freely. Within GSX is the coveted VIG (visual inspection guides) which determine which classes of repairs on an iPhone or iPad are covered under warranty. For example, a scratched camera lens on an iPhone 4S warranted a whole unit replacement back then even though no formal repair extension program was announced to customers. Maybe this was a serious problem or maybe Apple was giving customers a courtesy repair on this type of issue. But surely publishing this document would cause some people with 4Ss to intentionally scratch their camera lens to get a free replacement device.
- And of course, if you aren't certified on a product line Apple doesn't want you opening repairs or ordering parts for that line. In my experience, you can't even open repairs on certain products unless you've passed an online qualification exam (for $100). I think this is pretty reasonable. I've never received parts only to be later charged for not being certified on the defective product.

I have to disagree. The lesson I have drawn from studying mathematics is that intuition cannot be trusted and that even obvious things must be proven. Or you must admit they cannot and convert those things to axioms.

Russell's Paradox [0] is a good example of intuition going wrong in the field of set theory. As I recall Zermelo-Frankel (ZFC) set theory eliminated the known paradoxes of naive set theory but it took decades to complete. There are formally undecidable propositions in ZFC but that's different (to me at least) from incorporating outright contradictions.
Ever since I saw this in person I've wondered why other manufacturers haven't copied it. Easily one of the best ideas on the market.

I can attest to to his point about having a "story"; I have many skillsets (across several fields) and I went in to pitch for a position I could do in my sleep, and did not get the job. The last comment made by the owner of the company was "what job would we put you in?" and I replied, "it doesn't matter I can do every job in your organization." (having done every job prior in a similar organization, and demonstrated as such!).

They literally didn't hire me, because they couldn't figure out where I fit in their organization. Never mind the qualifications; never mind the ability, or the direct experience. They simply boggled, at where they could put me.

And its been repeated over and over. They aren't hiring people, they are hiring cogs. People like me, break their tiny worldviews, and they simply can't handle it. Its fucking retarded.

I had one guy I emailed, reply back "Sorry we're picking someone more qualified; 20 minutes into the work day", to which I replied "be fucking serious. I used to do this in the first 10 minutes of my day. whats the real reason?" He replied back "we don't think we could keep you." i.e. cog for 20 years needed.

When I started my career, I got fired from three temp jobs, for suggesting ways I could automate their entire process, and instead of it taking months, I could do it in under a week.

The whole employment racket, is bloody retarded.
It works with nginx threads using aio. It's in one of the issues there if you look deep enough.

https://github.com/Taymindis/nginx-c-function/issues/2

I haven't figured out how to get rid of the drop in performance though. Lets say you just return a 200 from the nginx location like so:

location /a {
return 200 "{\"result\": \"Hello World!\"}";
}

vs

location / {
ngx_http_c_func_call 'getRoute';
}

The requests per second will drop by about 40% of what you'd otherwise get. This is with 4 workers, the worker_rlimit_nofile set to 262144 etc, etc.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. It is pretty nice given that you also get all of the other options like upstream handling and reverse proxying and pretty damned good speed. The flexibility this adds is beyond awesome. But if I only need max speed for an api that only talks to postgres, redis, and a few other things, I'd just use H2o.
