My apologies, that's a fair defense.

I suppose I so deeply agreed with you I went total mental blindspot on the idea that someone could be a 20 years skilled software engineer and not be (technically, if not necessarily managerially) leading at least a small technical team. I'm not going to delete my post because I think it still has interesting stuff in it, but I do apologize for my tone of disagreement.
I am planning to build Voip server using raspberry pi. Any idea how to start with this?
Let's not forget the essence of why we get paid: you are paid because someone likes you. They like your work output, your social skills, or your status.

I'm not as hungry as a intern but I present well, and at the end of the day, thats why I get paid.
So your view is that Tylenol is able to charge excess because McNeil Consumer Healthcare / J&J makes the acetaminophen themselves? Even though there is no meaningful difference in the product vs. a generic brand?

Using your brand model, can you explain why Unilever paid $1 billion for Dollar Shave Club, when Dollar Shave Club razors are Dorco products?

Speaking of Chinese watches, people by MVMT watches for the brand, yes?

(Yes, it's not an 'arbitrary Chinese watch' as MVMT does quality assurance. But brands aren't created on "arbitrary Chinese watches" so I assume you were using hyperbole rather than making a meaningless statement.)
Are you serious? Have you ever tried?

My work has a really old phone system which I became the admin of. I discovered it had an audio input for Music-On-Hold, so I set up a spare RPi Zero that I had as a music player so that we'd have hold music. Low effort but wonderful improvement for work. Every now and then I go back and tinker with it to improve it a bit. (Next step is to make it controllable via a web interface.)

I have a RPi 3B+ that I use for some emulation, though I hardly ever play with it. Setting it up was plenty interesting, though.

And I have a Zero and a Zero W that I use for random tinkering/testing, both semi-permanently attached to a breadboard for ease of use.

(I've got a big list of projects I'd like to try or develop, but the above are the only things I've done so far.)
For a while I had a doggy puppy cam running with a real old Pi.

Just grabbed a 3b+ to use as a dedicated Pihole DNS server for my home network.
They are losers because they try to emulate things that someone did before them at the risk of their life and enduring unimaginable hardships in that case, but using every modern means possible to make the climb a few orders of magnitude easier (sherpas or guides placing oxygen canisters all around for them or literally dragging people up the mountain when they can't stand it anymore but hey they paid for it) just to brag about it.

Personally I don't care about doing it this way and I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it how real mountaineers do. I'm not bitter, I just think that what they are doing is a farce.

Kudos to those that attempt the ascent after years of real training and knowing what they do.

What you see is the clickbait. What you don't see are the structural changes to the media landscape over the past 20 years that led to this.

Newspapers per 100 million people fell from 1200 (in 1945) to 400 (in 2014). This is from a Brookings study cited in a Wikipedia article on the topic [0]. In 2013, the Chicago Sun Times laid off all its photographers and tasked journalists to take photos as well as provide the research and writing [1]. How would the quality of your work be affected if you had to do the job of 2 people?

The classifieds ads business is dead, and subscriptions have been declining for years because "news on the Internet is free". The only "media" that makes serious money is talk radio, which isn't journalism so much as diatribes of political invective.

As it turns out, that's what people are willing to pay for, or at least sit through ads for. If anything, "the media" is giving the people what they want.

> Because none of those things are done by governments. They're done by companies that provide water, food, medicine, airplanes, cars etc.

Before the US federal government forced companies to act the country's polluted rivers caught fire repeated. The pollution that caused those rivers to catch fire didn't stop because of those companies' own will or because of the market's influence. The government needed to intervene, otherwise the pollution and fires would have continued.

> Governments mostly just insist that good results happen, and can easily cause problems doing even that. Meanwhile other things run directly by governments do have a long track record of being worse than the private sector equivalents, and taxpayer interactions is clearly an important component of that.

This is political dogma and not fact.

Services provided by governments optimize for vastly different outcomes than the private sector. It also seems that many people harshly judge government services while they ignore real problem that occur when those services are privatized.
Interesting article, and it points out real problems that large organizations face. It made me think of the issues I've seen dealing with government contracts in the US. Policies can create perverse incentives and have unintended consequences regardless of their intention, and when dealing with large organizations those sorts of things have to be considered as they end up steering the ship.

Near the end of the article the author mentions that 5 people can look each other in the eye and trust each other, while 11,000 can't. This suggested a question to me: Where does that stop? How many people do you have to have before a 'local culture' isn't enough and trust breaks down? I've read things in the past about Dunbar's Number which suggests this number is around 110. That seems to be about the number of people that individuals can 'keep in mind'. I have often wondered whether organizations might benefit from taking that limit into mind and structuring things so that no level or group would be permitted to grow beyond that. To grow larger, build a hierarchy where groups of about 100 choose a representative whose task is to know the concerns of everyone in the group and represent those concerns when discussing with reps from other groups, etc.
are you speaking about the pi 4 or 2?

I just setup my RockPro64 with 4GB, also PCIex4, have an SSD, going to setup a raid at somepoint when I get it all figured out. The board was a bit more expensive than the pi4, but I am interested in playing around with it.

But it looks like its back ordered for awhile

"What policy change that could be implemented would do anything about the societal belief of college = job?"

We stop federally subsidizing student loans. This will reduce the overall cost of universities, because they won't be relying on instant government money and the universities will be responsible if the student defaults.

It will be in their best interest to push out students that actually succeed and have a chance at paying the money back.
It's unfortunate, because while there are many bad actors, there are some outlets that don't employ these tactics that get painted with the same brush. I'm not sure how to make that better.

That is a far greater concern than salary stagnation.
Scaling a State-of-the-Art Deep Learning Model in Production
Elixir's `mix release` is intended to replace (or remove the need for) third-party packages like Distillery. However, it's not there yet, and Distillery is strictly more powerful at the moment.

Notably, Elixir's release implementation does not support hot code upgrades. I use upgrades all the time, and won't be trying out Elixir's releases until this shortcoming is addressed.

> The PoE HAT had a bunch of issues

They released a new version quite a while ago.

I agree that it would be nice if PoE was built in, but there are better ways to say that than what you said.

Also, the HAT has a transformer (and I assume if they included it, they know what they are doing), which seems like it would be too much for every single Pi to include one.

Sufficiently little that they're still buying up whole neighborhoods to rent-seek on people's basic needs, so, not nearly enough. If the rich don't want to pay "all" the taxes, they can let us shift to an economic model in which they don't take home "all" the money.

Job-tech. I'm finding very strong market signals, and I've identified what in my experience (helped dozens of businesses improve their business prospects) is a sane path to profitability with minimal investment. I'm currently moving forward alone, but quite frankly I'd love to have a partner or two to do the technical parts so I can focus on fund raising (if needed), marketing, and sales instead.

Required if you reach out: Python, Scrapy, and experience with ML.

Cloud Seeding
Honestly I'm happy to see that they're gonna slow down a little bit. You need a certain stability for the language to become more attractive. Think that the book "Elixir 1.6" was only released a few months ago, and today we're already getting Elixir 1.9.

Yes, of course 99% of the book is probably still relevant and all, but I believe it is important to brand a language as having reached maturity and stability.
A very reasonable and grounded take on the whole thing. Makes me appreciate what goes on in the background behind these big distributions.
I just put together a Plex server with the RockPro64 4gb ram, PCI3x4 with 2 sata ports. I booted it up with Dietpi and things are running smooth!

The board is a bit more expensive, but you can probably get it faster than the pi4 at the moment.

The Dietpi community seems to be pretty great, any issues I ran into were answered pretty quickly
> Maybe the papers should be broken up.

I mean, definitely [1], but that doesn't invalidate his argument. Both tech and media consolidation is a problem.

Alternative reading: folks in Silicon Valley who've gotten used to FANG-level compensation have inadvertently developed a very skewed view of what average salaries in their industry are, because FANG compensation has climbed dramatically in the last decade. Anecdotally, $120–130K was a reasonable mid-level engineering salary in the valley in 2009 (I had more than a few friends at that level, which I admittedly hadn't reached myself); if that wage had increased more in line with inflation, we'd expect it to be $145-160K in 2019 -- and that $120K would have been hard to match for tech talent in most other parts of the country a decade ago. (Not impossible, just not easy.) The soaring valuations of tech companies, especially in the Bay Area, led to a loop of equally soaring costs of living and frenzied talent competition which just hasn't been reflected in most other places in the country.

It does seem strange that they wouldn't see a single offer over $150K, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if the median level was considerably lower.

I work with a lot of folks over 40, the two things I've seen that make me doubt ageism studies -- especially in tech, is that older engineers on average seem less likely to consider new technologies, and older engineers are more concerned about day to day stability and are less risk averse to consider another job which may pay higher because they have kids in school, mortgage, etc.
Oh of course, software is software, I just mean when a Raspberry Pi was mentioned that it has a distinct stigma.
But authentication of every advertised range all the way up the chain would allow upstream providers to easily differentiate valid large prefix announcements that were done intentionally (e.g. big ISP announcing some routes) from crazy nonsense done by an unknown party that isn't a big ISP. We definitely need prefix filtering, but there needs to be some easily verifiable source of identity tied to each announcement to be able to automate the process of accepting and rejecting large prefix announcements.

You make it sound like setting up k8s is a walk in the park! I've used hot code upgrades in production for 3+ years, and we've had it blow up in our face perhaps twice. If you do canary deploys, it's not hard to control the blast radius.
Thanks. I got the feeling there was some buffering happening somewhere, but couldn't turn it off. Wonder how much applies to Rasbian.
What is your take on the cloudshell? Genuinely curious.
I have 4 running at home as servers:

- an OctoPi server, which allows me to manage my 3d printer remotely.

- a VPN

- a Plex Server, serving media to my TVs and phone. I just ordered the new 4GB Pi4 to replace this one. I’l probably re-purpose it as an OctoPi-like box for managing a CNC.

- a seldom-used retro gaming box, that’s actually been mostly by a hacked Playstation Classic
Im having flashbacks to when i had a similar job at IBM back in the day, and we "lost" a z990 system. There was considerable more understanding when I couldn't find a blade server the size of a hardback book than when i couldn't find a machine the size of a car. Thankfully it showed up in Beaverton like 3 months later.

Im still bitter about their ITCS 300 policies that dictated I couldn't have access to the LOM of the blades to enable the beacon light for identification. Nothing like walking through multiple 8,000 sft server rooms looking for 1 server among thousands.
> With these OTA updates how can regulators determine if there was "illegal" software on a car?

Raid an office, check the source repo and the release log, question engineers, asking questions about what was pushed out OTA, and what wasn't. If your company did not keep such audit and repo logs, you are probably not SOX-compliant (Or the european equivalent thereof), and they should assume the worst in your intent.

Regulators and police aren't some kind of unthawed-from-the-ice-age caveman lawyers. They have as many tools to answer this question as any engineer working at these firms.
How is that Hat $20 when the entire board itself is only $35?
Based on the findings I think it is premature to say this is ageism.

There are multiple other factors going on here:

1) As senior developers become more skilled there is a diminishing return in terms of compensation. This happens regardless of age. A developer with 40 years of experience is not really worth that much more than a developer with 30 years of experience.

2) As developers get nearer towards retirement there is less incentive for them to stay at the top of their field.

3) As developers get older they tend to want to find a place they enjoy working at rather than playing the salary game every 2 years.
On that basis I’d consider the junior to actually be more senior, as understanding the need of the user and building that is vital to the role. A senior engineer who churns out code without taking that step to understand the domain and build the right thing is not, in my estimation, senior at all.

Bashing at something until it finally works is, to me, something we do as beginners when we’re still in the mindset of solving every problem with code.
> The KBA believes that a coolant thermostat that is activated during normal driving to protect engine parts in [sic] an illegal defeat device

This badly written line is the only technical information in the article. Since a thermostat is only a temperature sensor, I don't get how it constitutes a defeat device of any type. I also don't get how activating a sensor to read coolant temperature protects anything. And why would an installed sensor be turned off anyway?
Sure. In this specific case of a kv store it's hard to imagine how to simplify it dramatically from protobuf. As a proto you might have: tag-length-key-tag-length-value. Instead you could store the key and value lengths in host format using 8-16 bytes: length-length-key-value. It's not _dramatically_ faster to decode this, and you traded away extensibility to get a marginal speedup.
