Yeah that's incredible. I'd no idea. I'd assumed that the chips on devices like this were essentially dumb "slaves" controlled by the CPU.

I had some vague idea that the chips had some autonomy (ie, when playing digital sound, they knew enough to request/fetch more data via interrupts, DMA, etc) but I'd never spent the time to really learn what was going on there.
I love how they always lump words like AI, automation, ML, Deep Learning together. They make it seem like there already exists an army of robots just as capable as humans ready to take over. Sure, many companies have managed to automate lots of things, but this isn't new and is expensive and takes lots of time to achieve. Further capitalism is predicated on growth, and growth requires people to have money and for the population to continue growing to see spending growth. We run into an interesting problem. Why do we need so much production if no one has money to buy anything? Why do we need so many people if we have an automated labour force? Further has no one considered that much our economy is based on solving entirely unique human problems? Things like finance, communication, luxury goods and even energy production...these are things for humans. I have yet to read an meaningful analysis of what a truly automated labour force will mean for the human population and capitalism.
I’m a customer of his uptime service (https://apex.sh/ping/), and following up framework (https://up.docs.apex.sh/) with interest, but haven’t used it yet. Perhaps he is more focused on career and family, and less on open source? If so, good for him.
Agreed pass is fantastic. It's built on top of tools such as gpg and git. It's simple and easy to extend or build clients for.
Hiring manager at Oracle here- Oracle is very balkanized, different business units have different practices and policies, so I can only speak (unofficially) about the one I am part of.

Whenever I have openings for junior positions, I get flooded with resumes from men and women with degress at universities in China and India, and only a very small fraction from people educated entirely in the US. My personal speculation is that younger software engineers in the US would rather not work at a company that is perceived to be a dinosaur, and is definitely not as sexy as other FAANGs or startups. People who want to be H1-B sponsored have fewer options, and I think Oracle's name isn't as tainted in China or India.

Also, for the (unofficial) record, the women and those with H1-B visas (incl women with H1-B visas) on my team are paid the same as US born men on my team with similar experience.
Under the GDPR, I guess explicit content at the moment it is done would be required.

Personally I use qtpass as a GUI manager and passmenu for fetching from clipboard via a keyboard shortcut.
So... If I use plain AOSP without the Play Store and the likes (this is even an officially provided image by my phone's manufacturer) - what tracking would still be left? Until now I was under the impression that there was none.
That statement doesn't seem fair though.

If you goal is to own a home in Los Altos or Palo Alto, then even senior engineers are struggling.

The real problem is the supply and attitude:

* There are like tens of thousands people in Google HQ, and almost all homes in Mountain View are single houses. My uninformed estimate is that the number of homes in mountain view probably can't even accommodate half of the employees there.

* Then, there are problems with good schools and bad schools. Bad schools in US are like the worst schools (e.g. gang, drug, guns.). From the country where I come from, bad schools are just bad academically. Children are not dying and shooting. This increases the home prices in the good school area even further.

* Another similar problem in US is that a bad area is like extremely bad (e.g. gang, drug, guns). In other countries, more than often, a bad area is probably just old and dirty.

* People in US are obssessed with a house with a hugeee yard. I'm coming from other countries. I grew up in a condo and I'd be happy living in a condo, tbh.
Why do people put their cards on Facebook then? It is absolutely not safe to do, especially if you have (young) children.

"We've implemented several /e/ online services, with a single /e/ user identity (user@e.email). This infrastructure will be offered as docker images for self hosting: drive, email, calendar... to those who prefer self-hosting."

This reminds me CyanogenMod which after they shutdown and shutdown their services, the phone became unuseable, I assume because they kept trying to sync to dead services.
It doesn't. Replicant is a much more ambitious project. They (replicant) received $200k recently in donations. Hopefully, they can get one reasonably new device up and running in good shape. The galaxy s3 is close, but it's really old at this point.
All of these top comments remind me of the general adage that encryption and security are really hard, and if you think you know what you're doing you probably don't.

I don't want to be too harsh for a ShowHN, but even if the authors fixed the several bugs that have already been reported here, it's clear they don't have a foundational enough understanding of cryptography and security to be writing a password manager. I would suggest they spend more time understanding the basics first.
I have, and the built-in tools are weak or cumbersome to the point of being useless (or were when I moved off to bitbucket).

The wiki had its own weird markup at the time, so people who might have helped me write documentation were faced with learning a weird new markup (they were volunteers, that's a tough ask.)

The bug tracker had no way to send emails, and you were expected to rig up some external systems to do that. Maybe it's changed now?

Just lots of little usability things too.

These issues had such ardent defenders on the mailing lists, too, I became convinced the situation would likely never improve.

Aside from the cute idea of having your version control in one self-contained file with a single-binary server, I can't think of anything fossil does better than any other system.

YMMV.
Some apps need gyro details to determine if the app is being reverse engineered. The idea being if the device is static and not moving then it is been run in a virtual machine and being inspected.
In the EU, it really depends. I think per country, even. It's not as simple as whatever you wrote in the terms gets to hold, or even not as straightforward as equating clicking with accepting.

It's for courts to decide when it gets challenged, but the general idea is, the less obvious or expected the agreement is for normal usage, the less likely it'll hold. So burying some text that amounts to "we get to hack your device" is about as likely to hold as "we get your first born child" (which has been done multiple times by different companies, for fun, and no it doesn't hold).

Git won the war before GitHub existed. More projects were switching to git than hg.

GitHub was then mirroring open source projects git repos without asking. (Which I think is fine, but ruffled some feathers back then)

GitHub could have easily been hghub, but they targeted git because it was already winning.

> The suggestion that this anomaly can occur in FaunaDB is wrong:

You're right. I've removed the reference to FaunaDB. Sorry about that.
What I've meant to reference is the snapshot isolation of FaunaDB's read-only transactions, but the comment was in the wrong context for that.

There is an enormous difference between processes and threads in Linux and it's a fairly simple one - each process is allocated a memory space. All those mappings and page table entries are what makes process spawn expensive.

There is a terminology issue though, you're right, and that comes with using OS terms for userspace scheduling. Go coming up with their own term - goroutines - significantly simplifies the conversations. Gorountines, Erlang processes, green threads and fibers are all fundmentally the same thing - M userspace 'tasks', scheduled on to N operating system threads of execution, likely in one OS process. There are some language details as to how they are presented to the user.
Self-hosting would be a solution to this, but you are never guaranteed continued development though.

As long as it's open source it should be fine however.
Actually, Google's offer is lower than Twitter's for the same level.

I suspect that this is true for Google vs. any other sort-of-profitable public mid-size tech.

My best guess for lower pay is that Google banks on its great brand, so it can afford to pay slightly lower.

Think of how much your parents or grand parents will be happy that you work at the best tech company that they know.
It works with agile. You just have to sandbag a bit. Doesn't have to be 3months in an agile organization, just work for a sprint, then tell manager that's your plan for next sprint. If they change plan, you'll naturally have a 1 sprint slip, and in Sprint 2 you plan the previous sprint's worth. Or do this on the week or day level.
This is really cool, good job! I was looking for something like this a couple years ago when these were all the rage. I'll keep it in mind.

One fairly easy additional thing you could do is make it a Nuget. Add tags like (image filter, neural net image filter, tensorflow frontend etc.).
How was her average total compensation affected by the change?
Exactly. The reason startup salaries are low is that the companies don't have the cash to pay. If they had customers who believed in them they would have cash. If they had investors who believed in them they would have cash.

Asking the government to let in someone whose company might eventually make it big enough to pay "the going rate" is asking the government to take a risk -- it's like asking them to invest in the company on the promise that the payoff will be as good or better than the next person in line.
According to them the only proprietary component is their map app (https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/wiki/en/wikis/maps). It would great if they could expand on the reasons why OpenStreetMap (which is available in F-Droid) is not a good option for them.

I also doubt they are completely free of proprietary components beyond this app, and that they managed to get rid of all the proprietary blobs to support the devices they currently support.

In summary, I'm not convinced this brings anything compared with https://lineage.microg.org/ but I'd love to be proven wrong.
I told you Sir, It was my first job change.
I did not knew the tricks of the trade.

Yes, I have myself to blame because I trusted the people involved in hiring from one of the top 5 tech companies in the world. Id did not occur to me that I am being played upon.

However, If you had noticed, I mentioned I argued with hiring team [ PM, director, recruiter] IN WRITING BEFORE JOINING THE COMPANY. I still have those emails. As a response to those they used to call on phone, NOT reply in writing. It was evident to me that they are calling back because they have read the emails. I forgot to take the same thing in writing, because I trusted them.

So, Yes I joined them because of verbal promises, but the emails do exist still, in my mailbox, where I have asked them in band pay, before joining.

Initially when I approached the company's authorities they said " I am making this stuff up", but when I showed them emails from my mailbox, they switched to "since you do not have replies, ... .. .. you do not stand a case"
That wouldn't really be affected by how much Google pays its engineers, though. There's a fixed supply of single-family housing in Mountain View, and >>> available supply seeks to live there. Under those conditions, housing prices adjust upwards until they reach the amount that the Nth bidder (where N = houses for sale <<< Google employees in Mountain View) is willing to pay. Increase salaries and you just increase the amount that everyone is willing to pay, and then you still get outbid by your coworkers.

Assuming that owning a single-family home is non-negotiable, the only ways out of this are a.) get all your coworkers fired or b.) move out of the Bay Area. Mountain View (and the rest of the Bay Area) is basically fully built-out: there simply is no more land for 1/4 acre lots.

(If you're willing to compromise on "single family home", there's another alternative: build up. This is the most realistic solution, but requires that people give up on the idea of a detached house with a yard and settle for condos instead.)
I'm using `pass` for years now and it's perfect. On Android there is the Password Store app which integrates with the OpenPGP app, it's amazing :).
I think the abstract pattern here is: own it.
> the SB 1.0 has a big place in history but that's due more to market share than technical excellence or uniqueness compared to, say, the C64's SID chip, or even a true contemporary like the Gravis Ultrasound.

Cultural value is as important as technical advancement, at least in the long run. I think you could agree with me.

A notable cliche is still VHS. In the 80s, it was a far-from-optimal video system, but recently it has became a symbol of the 80s. Another example is the proliferation of home computers in the 80s, while many were groundbreaking, we also had some that were closer to a market bubble than a technical accomplishment, and were known as "Trash 80s" but now it's still something different.

And thanks for your additional commentary on soundchips.
Every once in a while I see someone talk about how a page loading loads a bunch of tracking elements from various known tracing sites and things like scripts. I don't suppose you could head me in the right direction as to where I could read a bit on how to do this myself? Thanks for any help
You'll find this often in "software engineering"; it is essentially about project management and the assorted side issues rather than actual development.
Agreed. It’s not really “cross-platform” if they take their own platform with them and implement it everywhere, and then all apps built with that toolkit are identical everywhere as a result.
That's not a problem with the process, that's a problem with what the senior engineers value (making themselves feel smarter than their aspiring peers, not producing valuable products)
Why not send them a note? I'm sure they'll be grateful for your input - sounds like it could save them a lot of time.

To the GP: I started off as a sysadmin / dev many years ago, but always wanted to work in unusual places like Antarctica. Trouble was I couldn't see how I could get there or what use they might have for me. Turns out, of course, that the bases also need all of the logistics and support services that any modern office needs. I spent a while following blogs of the IT / radio support guys who were working down South and eventually realised that I could do everything that was involved in their jobs. I applied and got in, and have since been to Antarctica three times. I got to see and do some _incredible_ things down there and meet some awesome people.

It can be done.

It is slightly different: lower anxiety.

You do that by being reliable, honest, receptive, taking ownership, mitigating risk.

But the human dimension is emotional. Your counterparts feel it as anxiety. They will ultimate adjust their internal feelings to you based on how anxious you make them.
The biggest missing point in this article is that the companies who actually succeed at automation are few and far between, and generally speaking entire industries need to be upended for automation to actually take hold. I don't agree with the re-skilling narrative, but I do think they're overblowing the capabilities of something like RPA. It's not as good as they claim and generally speaking you have to rejig an entire process for it to make sense. The most important missing discussion point here is that unless we have a global view of humanity and our goals as a species, who are we doing all this automating for? If people lose their jobs and can't spend money, why do we even care about high production? The real thing no one at Davos is openly talking about is the global population and what to do with 7 billion people if you really only need a world of 500 million since you've automated all that labour away and now you don't need to produce as much.

Thinking along those lines would suggest we need to reduce a lot of legal and communication friction or else capping corporations will make everything much more expensive. It’d certainly be worth improving those things regardless of the end goal. Whether we would naturally see average company size reduce is unknown, but the theory that they would recognize the financial incentive to do so is plausible.

I was wondering that as well. I think they mean things lime AOSP still connects to Google's 204 page to see if your online.

My thought is, if I was Google, why would I embed any tracking in AOSP? It's right in the source code for people to see and remove (not to mention the PR headache it would cause if offending code was found). It's far easier to embed in Googly Play Services, where its far harder to find, nearly impossible to remove, and any phone that wants to use Google services has to use.
A good manager should present their reportees' work for them, or help hire someone to do that for them. Do you want salespeople doing your tech jobs?
I know how much it hurts to have these kind of documents become known. It's an unfortunate reality in corporate structure that the incentives of employers are not aligned with the best interest of employees. That doesn't mean every employer is out to get employees--only that discussions of this type are a harsh reality among folks who are judged by how much they cut costs.
Nativist implies a racial undertone. I would call it tax-payerist: regardless of your background, the state prioritizes the interests of current tax payers to the detriment of future potential citizens. It's true even for migrants on other types of visas, they should be protected from labour dumping.

It's the only way a rich nation can function really, the alternative being open borders and a rapidly decreasing standard of living. They all do this in some convoluted way, despite any rethoric to the contrary.

> I also like to put my faith in a human (or multiple humans) then going over it again "just in case"... in this case it would be someone following behind with another torque wrench to make sure the first guy hadn't missed something or was maybe using a defective wrench.

A second pass with a torque wrench is probably not such a bad idea, but multiple _checks_ by humans is not necessarily beneficial.

A few years ago I worked for a company making small-batch pharmaceuticals (almost exclusively with ingredients drawn and mixed by hand, since the batches were so small), and the consensus (backed by research) there was that adding a second human check made quality worse rather than better - the second checker assumes that the first did the job correctly, and the person doing the work assumes that mistakes will be caught further down the line.
I’m sorry you felt attacked and that the rules were broken in doing so. I don’t see where I’ve called you a name or misrepresented your position, but sorry to make you feel I did.

To be clear:

> people have agency in their calorific intake, that they don't in what their employer is willing to pay them

This seems to be the key point of contention in the whole discussion.

My position is that the reality is far more complex than this, and whether it is or not, the topic needs to be handled with great compassion and empathy.

In some of your comments you seem to share these positions at least to some degree.

Any further discussion would require us to go deep into metabolic physiology and behavioral psychology, but that’s best left for another time.

Thanks for the discussion.

That's a good suggestion. However, I'm more of a designer not a coder and not familiar enough with OS projects beyond Linux itself to know which are well run. Do you have any suggestions of some I should look at?

What I created isn't traditional code. It's a structured process for doing something that includes frameworks, checklists, lots of written text in well-designed layouts with infographics, flowcharts, images, quizzes and videos. Commercial deployers are either implementing it as a web-delivered service or as physical materials (eg books, worksheets, posters).
