Snark aside, if your timeline is more than 10-15 years, why should you worry at all about recessions next year? On a long enough timeline, a recession is just a great buying opportunity.
The studios haven't given any permission

Are you claiming that AMC is showing movies without the studios permission?

AList is still a small minority of overall ticket sales, studios are obviously hesitant to launch the nuclear option and pull films entirely, especially over what is now a small amount.

I’m also hesitant to leave my job and I would hope that my company is hesitant to fire me even though my employment is a small part of their budget. Part of the hesitancy on their side is hopefully that I bring value to the company. The hesitancy on my side is that I have a mortgage due on the 15th of every month. Just because I can walk out of my job tomorrow or they could fire me tomorrow (the nuclear option), doesn’t mean that my employer and I didn’t make an agreement.

On the other hand, are you implying that one day, that the studios are just going to reject AMC’s check, without setting up some type of meeting and coming to different terms - ie negotiate.

That’s the whole concept of a BATNA, that each party decides would they be better off with the deal or without it. Just because the BATNA can change when facts on the ground change and either party can come back to the table to renegotiate their agreement at any time, doesn’t mean their isn’t one.
That doesn't mean they can't or won't going forward, however. Just like you would take the short-changing employer to court, so might the studios. But you'd probably keep working at 140k per year while the lawsuit is pending, because it's better than zero and you'd expect to eventually be made whole.

You really think that the studios are letting AMC pay them less than they find acceptable and they are still allowing AMC show their movies? Do you think that the studios are going to come back and sue AMC later because they didn’t get enough money from them?
AIUI there's only one such preemption point, in some resume-able operation to do with cleanup. Every other operation is short enough.

Thus interrupt latency is guaranteed to be very low, even if the interrupt happens while the microkernel is running.

It is my intuition that the "it's not a RTOS" has to come from something else, like some non-implemented API that's expected in an RTOS or the like. The required services might actually be implementable as non-privileged tasks.

Did you already manage a death ?

>... and it seems saying "I can catch up in a few weeks/months" doesn't cut it anymore these days. Being 50 years old doesn't help much either probably.

A lot of companies have job postings that have wording to the effect of "you are proficient in xyz or are willing to learn xyz", and I see it often enough for senior positions. When I see it in the latter case, I view it as an excellent signal of a chill, mature team.

Like you I believe it should work that way. Barring the most urgent scenarios, it's largely bullshit to reject senior talent that's capable of deep diving on new stacks rapidly.

Best of luck to you.
Xiaomi Aqara temperature and humidity sensor.

* Under $10.

* Works with zigbee.

* Works out of the box with open source zigbee hubs. I personally have conbee II/deconz.

And the whole setup of these open source zigbee solutions usually just consists of plugging in the USB device and starting a docker container. It's not not the tedious open source setup as it often is with open source projects.

As a bonus you can use different zigbee devices from different manufacturers all together.

> Different dialects of Chinese you mean

No, the use of the term “dialect” is propaganda from the diversity-denying central government; describing Chinese languages as “dialects” is a gross abuse of the English word “dialect”, comparable to saying that French, Portuguese, and Romanian are all just dialects of Latin. “Chinese” consists of many mutually unintelligible languages (hundreds?), each of which has multiple dialects.

Mandarin works well enough as a lingua franca because (a) there has been a tremendous effort to force it on the population and suppress local culture (e.g. forcing children to speak it in school, force mass media to use it, etc.), and (b) there has been a massive internal migration in China so that a large proportion of the population is no longer living in their native land.

In some ways it is similar to the way young people from different European countries now speak English as a common language.
It's pretty pragmatic to take a 'wait and see' approach to dealing with bad actors. You start doing that in your town and there will be some changes once budget adjustments are made. LA had a problem with people tagging signs on the freeway, so now many are wrapped in razor wire.
And the studios had the right to walk away if the number is too low.

My employer decided my salary and benefits and came in with an above market offer, that they thought I would more than likely accept. That didn’t mean I was obligated to accept the offer or that we didn’t make an agreement.

I live in an at will state and never once signed a piece of paper saying that I couldn’t walk in tomorrow and say f’ it I quit. Once I do that, we terminate our agreement. That didn’t mean I didn’t have one yesterday.

My willingness to work everyday also depends on a lot of factors, there is no guarantee that I won’t go in the office tomorrow and turn in my resignation. Even if I and my employer agree to an at will work condition doesn’t mean we didn’t come to an agreement.
From what I heard, Intel 14nm was running a little late and management pushed the engineering team really hard.

As a result a bunch of the greybeards left, so for 10nm a bunch of institutional knowledge was completely missing and they had to learn everything again the hard way.

You don't have to use C or C++ to use LLVM.

I'd argue that you would probably never find a bug such as that in a certified compiler, not because of the certification, but because far, far fewer eyes look at its output. I have worked in safety critical software and used a certified compiler. It had enough bugs that I personally found four in my first year.
Mars: AI powered personalised discounts for e-commerce conversions
Most of the hiring is geared towards what do you know instead of how do you solve problems.

I recently went to work a two big company, which is considered highly agile and progressive. I was tasked to build a pricing engine to customize prices for a static inventory of products. Number of products were about 30 and did not change month to month. The architecture suggested we use close to 18 different technologies, including caching systems, message bus, reactive programming. All to give 10 possible prices for 30 products. So essentially 300 values and a system to change the rules which determined the prices based on 3/4 parameters. I built the entire system in 2 days which was ready to be tested, but was told to scrap the work as it did not follow the internal development guidelines. Not to mention I was reprimanded for not including team and calling a complex problem trivial as it increased signaling risk internally. Apparently they are still building that system with 5 engineers, 2 analysts, 1 devops person, and 1 team lead. I left the company 2 years ago. And interestingly each and every person on the team got a promotion, multiple performance bonuses in last 2 years.

These are all languages from the same spot n earth with lots of cultural exchange. I am not very surprised that you didn't encounter drastic differences.

I think though there are tiny ones that are interesting.

German "blaues Auge" - (blue eye) is a black eye in English (like one after a bar fight). This is because blue is associated with sadness in English and blue eyes (correct me if I am wrong, not an English native) are sad eyes. Blue in German is however rather overloaded with being drunk. And the blue eye doesn't seem to conflict with that. "Blau machen" is to call in sick to work while actually not being sick.

So who knows what associations were made with wine color? Maybe the lack of control, similar to being drunk..

For red, orange and yellow I think there is large variance in how people would classify a given color that is not really red or really yellow.

-------------

My personal guess would be that I could believe that Greeks did not really have a name for blue. I'd say it is implausible that they were biologically incapable of differentiating things, but it may just have been a different shade to them.
I support Timcast because of how refreshing and real his journalism is. I actually had him in mind as an example of a real journalist when I posted the above comment.

It seems to me, the opium wars and the resulting partitioning was solely a fault of the Qing government. Sure, the Brits were big bullies but China was playing on a home field and could overpower invaders with sheer numbers.

Qing state was already breaking from inside by then. No wonder the didn't survive long after.

> Doing something only you understand

A simple php endpoint is something any web developer can understand. The more frameworks/libraries/patterns/abstractions you throw in the less likely it is they will understand it. Especially years later when the framework is inevitably out of date, good luck convincing why they need to spend money upgrading a framework every year.

> hey can we put Google maps in here?

Has this changed recently? Last I checked you would just drop a script tag into the page, who needs a library for that? Edit - I checked (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/guide), how does a framework make a copy/paste job any simpler?

> "we need to integrate with stripe payments"

I'm not familiar with stripe, but don't you just give it a return url? I don't see how a framework would help at all here.

> you'll need to stay 100% up to date on all security issues/approaches/classes of vulnerability to make sure your custom system is secure.

This is harder with a framework, it's one more thing to keep updated. The less libraries the less vulnerabilities.
(I'm just an interested amateur who reads a lot so take everything I say below with a grain of salt. I also leave things out for brevity)

Deng Xiaoping (1904–1997) should still get credit for most of what is happening now. China had multiple paths it could have followed when Deng took over, but he was a clever fellow. He made several gradual alternations to rigid socialist and Marxist doctrine and authoritarianism that separated Chinese communism from all others others. He was able to keep hardliners at bay.

1. He declared that: "Socialism means eliminating poverty. Pauperism is not socialism, still less communism." Before Deng all communist countries justified poverty and suffering of the masses as necessary part of struggle towards communist utopia. Deng threw this rationalization away. He essentially adopted the same measure stick to success as capitalism.

2. Deng recognized stuff that worked outside government. 18 households in Xiaogang Village started land reform after a serious drought in secret in 1978 and it started to spread. It was against government rules and even against party doctrine. Instead of prosecuting people Deng endorsed it. Successful land reform has been the starting point for other successful Asian countries as well (see Studwell's "How Asia Works").

3. More meritocracy and checks and balances within the communist party. Before Deng, China was always gravitating towards typical strong man communist dictatorship. There was one dictator on the top and power and orders flowed downwards. Deng adjusted the rules. Government officials were moved to work in different regions from where their personal contacts were (and opportunities to corruption were reduced). Princelings still got into powerful positions but talented newcomers also had a change. There was clear movement towards meritocracy and accountability within the communist party.

After Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 Deng's power started to wane and hardliners gained more power. The momentum of his institutional reforms has carried on but there is constant erosion. The current leader Xi seems to be a typical strongman who tries to get more and more power to himself and his inner circle and this may end all momentum for China that Deng Xiaoping created.

This is like a neanderthal saying that fire is hard to build so let's eat the food raw. The time is now old man. The new frameworks are surely confusing (not complicated) to learn at first but that is because they expect you to learn a system by which the chances of you delivering a bad product gets mitigated as the lowest level components follow an accepted standard. You are learning a system, a new tool to aid in your work rather than starting from scratch every time. And if you say you don't start from scratch and have a system/set of components to reuse then, voila, you are just doing the same thing frameworks do, but in your own sweet way.
I'm talking about a shared private/public key for everyone which gets changed when members leave or enter.
So are you challenging trickle down economics? That's debatable.

I believe at least at the early stage capitalism trickle down economics works. However, without proper checks and balance system, corruption brought by power and wealth does stop the trickle down effect.

Therefore in China where corruption is an accepted norm, it's doomed to fail. That was not originally planned though.

Maybe that's also why recently the CCP has been trying so hard to abolish religions, to keep the people's moral standard low.
Both don't acknowledge each others right for existence, at least at the level of their political leadership.

Even though I believe Palestinians have committed lots of wrong against Israelis, and I acknowledge their right to defend or protect themselves, I can't blame Palestinians for feeling oppressed, hopeless and angry. It would be superhuman to expect them to not have these emotions.

Israel is clearly dominant, militarily and in every other way. That also means they have the bigger responsibility to go first in terms of peace.
How many developers work on FOSS for free?

I don't. My employer wants our FOSS core software developed, or wants the bugfix/feature in the FOSS we depend on.

I know people who work for free, but use evidence of that to get well-paid contract work.

Even the guy I know working on a scientific library does that to further his academic career.

I'd be interested to know the situation for significant desktop software (Firefox, Gnome, KDE, a video player, media player, LibreOffice).

New fission reactor technology won't change anything. Only the US Navy has a good safety record with nuclear vessels; the Soviet / Russian Navy has had multiple serious accidents with sinkings and radiation releases. And the only way the US Navy succeeded was by using a huge amount of resources under tight top-down control. None of that is possible in the merchant fleet. Plus the Navy has built in armed security forces. Any modern nuclear merchant vessel would need armed, trusted security guards to protect against terrorist attacks (just like nuclear plants ashore).

In short, nuclear powered merchant ships are never going to happen regardless of the potential advantages.

The point is that any form of oligarchy means redistribution of wealth from the powerless to the powerful.

And capitalism is not about "merit" but about possession. Lots of "Capitalists" (by which I mean people who derive most of their income from capital investments rather than labor) have inherited much or most of their wealth. Merit is not a requirement. Enough property to exert power and therefore redistribute wealth however is.
