One interesting aspect is that they intend to integrate the ad matching & serving engine right into the browser. Thus (at least in theory) the browser can still serve "relevant" ads without exposing your clickstream to anyone. According to their materials, you'd have full control over what's collected and how it's used. It's opt-in.

IMHO The model hits the sweet spot for those who don't mind ads in principle but don't trust the ad industry.
Can you guarantee that your ad blocking framework is not recording and selling your data or be sold to another company that will?

You can buy VPN subscriptions that serve as ad blockers outside of the App Store and just go into settings and configure it yourself. Preferably, host your own VPN host on your computer where you know no third party is intercepting and recording your traffic.

Those preparing the release will update release notes and fixed bug lists (like this one) before the release.
That sounds like a liquidity problem (not enough positions opening up, and opening up infrequently) rather than a qualification problem (not qualified for director positions elsewhere.) Presumably, if the ex-director waits long enough they may find another director position (or not...)

This is an internet gem. In the pre-internet days, you would only gain access to this information if you knew this person, or someone like them, and happened to ask them the right questions. Something like this would be too trivial to write down in a book, and not novel enough for a monograph. Even if it did happen to get published, what are the odds that your community library would have a copy of the relevant book, or that you would be able to find it through a card catalog search?

In 2019, @killjoywashere will be able to repair his microscope optic by theirself, with just a little Googling and reading, scary page design aside.
Reasonably serious (for some definitions of "reasonably"). The illustrations were commissioned for a book published by NASA describing a design study on permanent space habitats at L5 creatively called "Space Settlements: A Design Study". I got this book as a kid in the late 70's and it was one of my favorites. I pored over each page oh so carefully for years. The study went into a fair amount of detail about what would be required to support 10,000 people in a stanford torus at L5. Everything from radiation shielding to sewage systems. From construction techniques to creating day-night cycles.

An online version HTML of the book is here:

If you believe that you have an edge over your competitor, then merging with them isn't the profit-maximizing move. Instead, you could just outcompete them and own the whole market, rather than only part of the market leader.

I did a six month contract for Apple in Cupertino. I lived in a 1BR apartment right on the border of Cupertino and San Jose, on Stevens Creek Blvd just west of I-280.

On one occasion, I flew via SFO. I vowed to never ever do that again. From that point forward, I always flew via SJC, and I was much, much happier. The airport was clean, reasonably up-to-date, and never had major traffic problems that I saw.

I would be very unhappy if that airport got shut down or crippled just because some people want to build tall buildings in the area.
I do use the Intel GPU for all things graphical. But as I stated, I require the proprietary nvidia driver as well. Your issue policy is "If the nvidia module is loaded on your system, you are not permitted to file bugs of any sort" (https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/3039). From this, I can only infer that your attitude is to childishly exclude a large segment of users (owners of optimus laptops) on whose hardware free drivers are loaded, but who also have some use (which is none of sway/wlroot's concern) for their second nvidia GPU.

If you think it's valuable to track latency, that seems like something you could just do. Grab the logfiles process them in your home directory, produce some graphs, keep the data over time and track changes. Ideally it would be done centrally, but as a starting point just do it yourself.

Not having a dev / test / qa environment is inexcusable, why do you not have that? Why can't you just set one up yourself? Possibly on your own workstation or some VMs, just find a way to do it.

Linter warnings are of highly variable quality. Don't bother about anything stylistic - tabs vs spaces, camel case vs underscores - those things never caused anyone's software to not work. Ask yourself "could this break something in production?".

If the answer is yes, then create a code change to fix one instance of the problem and submit it for review (not every instance of every problem, just one instance of one specific problem that could affect production). People will ask why it's a problem, you can explain it, and if you've selected a good example of a non-trivial problem, they'll accept it and merge it. Then, go and find the other instances of the same problem after you have set the precedent, and there will be less resistance. Then, start working on other problems, rinse and repeat.

Doing this will educate people along the way, and will work better than some big shock-and-awe change that touches a lot of things at once. Go easy on criticizing other people's work during code review, they're often emotionally attached to their code at that point since it's the last step in something they've been working on for weeks and want to move on from. Again, only raise things in other peoples code that could break things in production.

As for accepting things and letting go, I'd say it's more a question of picking your battles. Don't accept everything and let go. Try to improve things to the extent you can while you are there, even if that isn't forever.
Hi Zach,

Thx for the comment. Maybe we have to go through an unpleasant experience once to understand what you’ve resonated with from the article and what I wrote. Or maybe multiple times. Who knows

Regarding the quote, what I meant was that I’m no social justice warrior to go on and leave 1-star reviews to that company because they didn’t cancel my subscription.

It’s just that I’d rather build more, instead of spending time to destroy what someone else did. Or, I’ve heard stories of people buying thousands of negative reviews, thus destroying reputations

I write as I’d be speaking and I use a lot of relaxed language. Sometimes it sets people off because it’s not professional and I understand, but the core of value is there (or at least I’m trying to make it so).

Thx for your comment! Any parts that stood out for you besides this one?
Oh, awesome! Thanks!
Well yes it's an intentional recovery from an error state, but the point is this can happen unexpectedly.
On sites like Reddit and HN, hiveminds absolutely occur from the voting algorithm. Content that caters to the lowest common denominator of the site or subreddit is what ends up at the top, and people with differing views stop expressing their views due to social pressure. Plus the owners of all social media sites have a financial incentive to influence the trends of the site and its users.

I'm not saying alternative viewpoints and free speech sites are all sugar and flowers, because they often are filled with deplorable content. I do feel, however, that they serve a purpose in providing alternatives to the corporate.
Like others have mentioned it’s easy to develop a cryptographic system which would provide both vote assurance and and vote anonymity the problem is that unlike paper ballots people can’t understand those systems and people don’t trust what they can’t understand and democracy doesn’t work when there is no trust.

Everyone can count paper ballots having 10 crypto experts that given that they are experts wouldn’t say that a system is 100% foolproof isn’t the same thing.

But if you solve this problem which is trust in something you can’t ubdsrstnsd, you can definitely scale it and have it both being secret and verifiable.
Try looking in the Higher Ed space.

I have a BS in CS&E. My first eight years of employment after college were at a US publicly-traded company. After that, I moved to my current position.

Although the Higher Ed space does not lack the politics that you find in the corporate world, I enjoy the knowledge that you are likely serving a greater good, while still maintaining a steady income. It's also fun going to campus events, and in general watching undergraduate antics from the sidelines (such as https://twitter.com/californiaKARL/status/723323393353764864).

For example, check out this position: https://careersearch.stanford.edu/jobs/software-developer-3-... It's probably too limiting for you, but I know the group that has this position open, and they fill a very enterprise-y need: Taking feeds from multiple "I am the authoritative record of a person" sources, and merging it into an _actual_ source of truth for people and accounts (computer accounts) records.

UIKit is kind of annoying because it’s really not “idiomatic” Swift: it’s a wrapper around Objective-C (albeit, a very nice one) that happens to bring along with it a bunch of decisions that lead to having to deal with reference lifetimes.
That's not how it works.

I'm also not saying that it's perfect, but it is clearly better than Apple's alternative, which you have not disputed.

You just said you have reproducible builds. Either you are going to audit the code and do the build yourself or you are still trusting a third party.

We are responsible as citizens for pushing the political regulations for the dangerous consequences(AI's effects). It seems that politicians won't do it because they are interested in all this non-sense theories, it makes easy for them to introduce all kind of sneaky ideas that will benefit their agenda. They don't want us to think clearly about the power they have through technology and services being deployed continously. They won't do it at least we coerce them to do it.
This is the very thing I'm criticizing.

"Leader" is one of the worst buzzword bingo terms in a company. It means nothing, it's just a convenient label to give people who you feel like promoting to maintain the 10:1 ratio.

You could argue Linus Torvald is an industry leader, or you could argue he doesn't show adequate leadership for cross-team.
I think a director should only kind of "put value" to tech debt, making the mid-term and long term choices and assessing the risks. How to do the actual tech debt emission and how to deal with it when it hurts is more of a staff engineer thing.

If you think that as a director you'll have "power" to make actual week to week or month to month architectural or technical decisions you are thinking more of micro-managed projects and not of serious mid-sized or bigger engineering organizations.

No reason at all. It was generally allowed in the U.S. Age of consent was typically 10 years old until 1885 https://discover-the-truth.com/2013/09/09/age-of-consent-in-...

"After 1885, age of consent laws changed around the country, reaching 16 in New York in 1889 and 18 in 1895. Prior to these changes the age of consent in most places in the United States was 10 or 12 years."

Thanks for writing this. I quit my "startup employer" last year. I was leaving at a critical juncture and the company begged for me to stay at least for 3 months to complete an important project. I said "fuck you" and left. I had $300K worth of ISOs and 90 days exercise window which I let expire.

In fact the 90 days window is what made me quit before completely 1 year. Quiting sooner is better than wasting 5 years.

From the article on Honest.Cash: "The current upvote amount goes 40% to the writer and 60% to the previous upvoters". The upvotes are distributed to 1, 2, 4, 8, 16... previous voters.

Simple calculation:
First voter gets their money back with the 5th voter. But the 5th voter only gets their money back with the 69th voter.

The first voter doubles their money with the 32,769th voter and the second voter doubles their money with the 33,554,434th voter.

So doubling the money is very unlikely for even the first voter and impossible for everybody else.

So if I'm honest, I don't think this algorithm will provide much incentive to vote.
Depends on how able are you to offer that, without more background info it's harder to say. But then it also boils down to intent, just like I said in the article.

You might have created a blue ocean for yourself and say "I don't need to offer freemium". But exactly what I'm trying to reach in the written piece is this idea around the equality of opportunity — "If your intent is to create a win-win environment and give equality of opportunity so that eventually the next Leonardo da Vinci will come from under your rooftop (and he won’t forget that), this is a way to solve the freemium-to-premium user conversion problem."
Yes, I have thought about trying my hand at some teaching / mentoring.

How did you get into being an adjunct? I have absolutely no idea how to approach something that, but I would be pretty interested to try it. I don't actually have a CS degree / academic background, would that be much of a problem?

The only things I've seen like this when I've looked have been coding bootcamp or high school level stuff, which doesn't really appeal to me.
I wonder how many strings come attached to this investment. I.e. if Reddit does something offensive to China - for example, publishes some state secret they'd like to keep hidden, etc., - would Chinese government lean on Tencent so that they lean on Reddit to change it?

I vaguely know tensor flow as the most(?) popular lib of his kind, but I wonder how is the history of swift on non-apple platforms and its impact of the actual users.

Is TensorFlow "huge" in linux, windows, android? Because I also evaluate swift for my use case (https://www.reddit.com/r/swift/comments/8zb9y1/state_of_swif...) and decide instead on use rust mainly because the lack of solid support on non-apple platforms. However, after use rust for months now I still consider swift a better contender between performance/ergonomics than rust (rust is damm hard sometimes, and suddenly you could hit a trouble with above-average complications. I don't see how put this burden in a library to be used for more "regular" folks could work)
This is not true in engineering contractors for aerospace in Europe or the USA, and it's also totally not true in the oil industry worldwide and in some of the big manufacturing firms. You can get double digit percent promotions by getting into roles that require a lot of travel, dealing with big outsourced contracts, have cross-country responsibilities, or other particular skills or layers of hardened skin that are hard to come by and at a premium.

If you're talking about certain fruits in certain contexts, I agree with you in principle—if you are educated about the nutritional reality of fruits, you can certainly include them in a healthy diet. But I still maintain that absent sufficient nuance, the "fruit is healthy" message is borderline dangerous advice.

Without nuance and education, "fruit is healthy" translates to "fruit juice is healthy."

Without nuance and education, "two serves of fruit per day" translates to "I'll eat a fruit salad and a glass of orange juice for lunch at my sedentary desk job."

Protip: chop up a large broccoli and sauté in a wok with olive oil, salt, pine nuts and chili flakes for a few minutes. Finish by squeezing half a lemon on top. Serve alongside a modest serving of protein. That shit is a meal, and damn tasty.
