If I rent a dedicated machine I can certainly do what I described there[0] by hand but would you envision having some kind of turn-key support for GitLab CI runners, supporting both gitlab.com through some partnership and self-hosted instances? That would be brilliant, especially considering Xcode integration with GitLab.

Computer programming as an art (1974)
I mostly agree with your take on the article (though I admit I skimmed some paragraphs), but I think this bit was probably intentional:

> the lampooning of the modern liberal elite and their practices, such as the author does in this article, is itself done as way of asserting a different class's moral superiority over another

Unfortunately, I think the most effective way to counter a status move is not through reasoned argument, but with a status move of one's own. If you can turn the status symbol into something ridiculous or embarassing, you've successfully undermined it. This is (usually) most easily done via public mockery.
The burbs are wsy better too. You can still find a great family home in a good school district within a reasonable commute on NJ transit, lirr, or metro north, well under a million.

The noon universe is a thoroughly depressing set of books.

Most of the plot invariably occurs not in the ideal Noon society, but in one or another form of recent/current dystopia: the totalitarian state of Inhabited Island's Saraksh, the feudalist gulag of EN-7031 in Escape Attempt, Arkanar's descent into a fascist police state in Hard to be God...

Over and over, the ideal humans from future-earth hold up a twisted mirror to our own life as they try to engage and help but discover there are no good answers - at best, they don't make things any worse; but often they fail in even that much.

Monday begins on Saturday is a much more upbeat story that's actually about people who are better than who we are right now, in an environment that lets them thrive; and you do need both those components for a utopia - contrast with A Thousand Years 'till the End of the World, which has people of similar character (or better; they overcome challenges of a difficulty that Monday begins on Saturday never presents its cast with in the first place) but in an antagonistic environment, and is again super depressing.

While Watts expands horrors we are used to to new lengths, the Strugatsky brothers are out to show that even ideally moral superhumans can't save us from ourselves.
That was quick - thanks!
To see the "spotlight of attention" masterfully exploited, I recommend Apollo Robbins[1]. Yes, his slight of hand is very impressive, but his act is fundamentally about how he fills up your attention input buffer, notices where you are allocating your "attention spotlight", and works with a blatant flourish just outside of that spotlight.

The overlap with "walk in with confidence holding a clipboard" approah to security is obvious; Apollo Robbins has even given a talk at DEFCON[2] about the implications of this approach to attention & security.

I find his demonstrations a very humbling lesson in just how weak our actual perception of reality really is.

There's a reasonable chance that someone who's 49 but has drunk, smoked and done nothing to stay fit or keep mind active is "older" than a 69 year old who's tried hard to look after themselves.

Thanks to increasingly anachronistic mandated retirement ages it's quite possible the fitter one is excluded from the workplace.

Age seems like it's a bit of a gradient too.
> dim lens of class, gender, and race struggles

To call something as broad and all-pervading as "class, gender, and race struggles" a "dim lens", as if it's looking at life from the specific interest of a very small group, is laughably myopic.

Are you using the built-in macOS client? macOS screen sharing has some VNC extensions that make it usable on both wireless and WAN networks. I've been VNC'ing to my 2560x1080 work machine from home for years through a layer 2 UDP OpenVPN tunnel over WAN to great effect (connect to OpenVPN, cmd+K in Finder then vnc://10.20.30.40/). Using the now defunct Back to my Mac always was a crapshoot though (probably due to lack of port opening, therefore an intermediary has to be used)

> To become more useful, computer vision systems will need to recognize objects they have not specifically been trained on. For example, it is estimated that there are more than 10,000 living bird species, yet most computer vision data sets of birds have only a couple hundred categories.

I think it matters more for Facebook that they can apply these techniques to learn more about the 4 billion people that are not on Facebook, I don't think they care that much about birds ;)

I worry about this as well. I wouldn't be surprised if SF, NYC, and DC encompass the majority of the country's wealth in a few decades.

It genuinely amazes me that remote tech jobs haven't taken off. I just can't fathom why—unless companies have honestly found that it doesn't work for some reason unknown to me. What other incentive could there be? You get good workers at a fraction of the cost. And with companies like Google and Amazon spreading out across the U.S., remote teleconferencing systems are already set up. Is it really that much different to have someone dialing in to Mountain View from Idaho rather than NYC?

Yes, it is really happening, but unless you are on the receiving end, the "morally inferior" end, you probably won't recognise it.

In my workplace (in the UK, so the dynamic might be a bit different) there is a strong middle class/working class divide. The middle class people love to go on about their cycling, organic food, etc., and berate others for being "unhealthy" to feel better about their own life choices. Even though many of us from working class backgrounds eat healthily, play 5-a-side football, etc., it's not dressed up in the same way, and not used to assert superiority over the people who (regardless of class) don't exercise and eat well.

No, this strategy really does depend on the engineers having a good way to prioritize things.

If you have engineers doing level-2 support and you have product managers saying "Do this other thing", then the engineer now repeatedly has to resolve a conflict among the possibilities of:

A) Check email and slack to see if something new has come in.

B) Check your error reporting/monitoring to see if Sentry has reported any new exceptions/errors from existing services.

C) Issue #1 from a customer

D) Issue #2 from a different sort of customer who has more revenue impact

E) Issue #3 which was actually bubbled up from someone in sales.

F) Non-urgent but important Project X from the product manager which you are actually 30% of the way finished with and consequently, it is the thing that is sitting in your brain.

G) Check hackernews as a salve to the stress of a bunch of ambiguously-prioritized tasks.

Accomplishing engineering tasks requires allocating your brain's working memory and directing your focus on ONE thing at a time. The harder that is, the harder it is to do anything but option G.

If you put engineers in this situation, but you don't give engineers the training and structure to arbitrate decisions about prioritization, then you're setting them up for needless conflict and failure. If you just designate all of your engineers as being responsible for level-2 support without any additional structured then each one needs to tell the product manager, "I'm not going to work on this project which will bring the company $X Monthly Recurring Revenue for another week, but I'm going to deal with these support requests. I am in charge of prioritizing what gets worked on. Your job as a product manager is not to decide priorities."

Which is a silly thing to tell a product manager. There should be an existing consensus around how this sort of thing is handled and prioritized. If your product managers aren't allocating time for fixing frequently-encountered bugs or UX problems, then the solution isn't to set them up for a conflict with engineers. The solution is to have someone exercise leadership of the product managers so that they is alignment on the general importance of getting bugs fixed quarterly goals and so that when someone (PM or engineer, whoever is triaging level-2 support queries) exercises judgement about the priority of a bug relative to other work, others broadly agree on that decision.

You need to have some structure accomplishes this.
Sometimes I worry that I'm too old-school, doing things like throwing out frameworks everyone else is using, and I see young(er) developers being incredibly productive when using those frameworks plus components, libraries, etc but then I also see that a lot of what they create looks the same and works the same, contains the same bugs, because (IMO) they're sometimes over-using external code and using cannons to shoot flies. I'm probably a bit too much the other way around, but it seems to work for me. I tend to be quite focused on minimizing external dependencies and only use what is absolutely necessary.
>...I think the notion of responsibility (outside of a very strict causal sense, as in "this geological formation is responsible for this waterfall") is misguided, and also shifts focus away from change efforts, toward retribution.

My belief in determinism as a driver of free will is predicated entirely on the principle that without that there is no responsibility. Taking out determinism breaks the connection between my self, my persistent state, and my decisions. My choices have to come from me in a deterministic way, or they are not mine. I want to be responsible for my choices.

This is of course a mechanistic interpretation in the sense you describe, so it also leads me away from a retributive justice stance towards a rehabilitative stance even though I strongly believe in responsibility.

I disagree. It all depends on what the cause is. Regarding sexual harassment which today means any woman can accuse you of that and no questions is asked and you'll get sacked is not a valid reason for not getting any money imo.

Sure, but lower demand would usually mean lower price, unless the consumers are willing to pay extra for something that other products are missing. In this case, I'm not sure what the other products are missing in comparison, but I'm also not familiar with these TV's.
Improving the handling of embargoed hardware-security bugs
THANK YOU! My Google-Fu was failing on me!
Haha seems like you ran into the exact same issues as I did! It works brilliantly with a concurrency of 2 on an early 2015 2-core i5 13" MBP with 16GB of RAM, and I'm even using the machine interactively while builds are processed. I'm using Sierra as a base but I've been building Mavericks, El Capitan and High Sierra ones too. VMs are 1 CPU / 4GB. I saw no gain in bumping up VMs to 2 CPUs.

I tend to assume consultancies are exactly the target audience for these sorts of certifications - and it probably does make sense, so they can pitch to a client that they can offer X-many Y-certified consultants for $Z.

Whether their clients tend to actually be familiar with the organisations endorsing or providing the Y certification I have no idea, but even if all it does is give them a warm fuzzy feeling, that's probably enough to make it worthwhile for the consultancy that wants their business.
A Grammar of Graphics for Data Visualization by Microsoft
Speaking as someone who does a fair amount of remote working, yes, videoconferencing is awful. I’ve worked at several different companies of different sizes and it’s always awful. The video quality is bad, audio is terrible, getting a meeting started takes forever.

These aren’t insurmountable problems, you just have to get used to a different way of working. It’s not remotely the same as working in the same office. Better in some ways, worse in others.

Google is one of the few companies with the resources to try to drastically improve the technology and fix this problem, but they instead decided just to double down on consolidating their staff in big offices. Obviously works for them but it’s a shame.

Edit to add: the above doesn’t necessarily preclude remote offices, but one of the problems is that it’s hard to get a good productive remote team started without a nucleus of strong local staff. It’s hard for a company like Google to open a big office in a new city without an established tech base, and videoconferencing tech doesn’t help much.
