I wouldn't be surprised if they're accurate. Here in the port of LA there's around 20 guys making $400,000-600,000. You could make the argument that the work can be dangerous, requires skill, etc. etc. But that skill must be highly genetic, because most of them work or used to work the same union jobs as their fathers.

Edit: after doublechecking TransparentCalifornia there might only be around 15 guys making $400k and up at the harbor. I accidentally included some firefighters, who also have a tendency to rack up the overtime.

It's important to learn the names of concepts so you know what they refer to. Then, you can start diving in deeper once you have the surface level understanding down.

If you think you understand the fundamentals? That's cool. Move on.

For me, there's some doubt in my mind about definitions despite being pretty good at debugging and knowing how things work. So it's good to get those cleared up.
If you ask a system design question, an algorithm question, a code structure and organization question, and some general questions about past work experience and how they'd handle certain scenarios, you get a pretty good coverage of a person's abilities I've found.

While I agree a lot of software engineering is about managing large code bases, it isn't just that, I feel all aspects matter and come into play. And even code organization exist at different levels: in the small, in the medium and in the large. It's good to try and get an idea at all levels.
Would you also say that about the 787, 747-8, EA-18G Growler, T-7 Red Hawk, MQ-25 Stingray, and GPS Block IIF? All of those were developed in the time after the MD merger.

I agree Boeing isn't the engineering company it used to be, in many ways, but I don't think it's as simple as "controlled by bean-counters".

It's hard to think of a good fair regime to do this under.

At least with a physical disk, there's a maximum reasonable rate that you can turn the disk around between users and you need to have enough copies for whatever the lifecycle peak demand is.

We do have an audio compulsory licensing system for things that are purely songs.

In the comment linked, which for better or worse is the entire context of this post, the comment clearly states the feature could work on the old hardware.

That management at the top made the choice to sell it (implicitly perhaps) as a feature of the new model when it was just an OS update, OS updates being a well known point of receiving new features.

So yeah. It was the exact definition of planned obsolescence.

What you mean is “buying an iPhone 6s doesn’t mean you get a free upgrade to an OLED screen.”

But we get new features from OS updates all the time that don’t require new hardware.

Apple is a hardware company. They did it. My gut says they do it less now and ride hardware out longer mostly because it’s “good enuff” and the consumer has less incentive than in 2009.

It was a big deal for Tesla, though, because they had to fit into a tiny power budget. HW2.0 wasn't enough for what they wanted to do, and to retrofit existing cars they had to consume a similar amount of power.

Power efficiency does make a range difference and is worth seeking, but Tesla is exaggerating this, IMO, to conceal one of the ways that the churn-heavy cycle for FSD has imposed organizational costs (an entire chip-level hardware program, in this case).

I think you're vastly over-estimating how much you actually need to do your job to stick around in a workplace heavy on connections/nepotism. I have stories from state government that are almost beyond belief. Elected officials using backwater departments as a place to give jobs to people they owe favors is a recurring scandal in my state. Said people get a six figure salary just for showing up, sometimes not even that, somebody noticing lots of people paid for not showing up is how the "scandal" often starts. Don't get me wrong, a lot of the people who got their jobs by knowing someone do their jobs but a disturbing number don't.

This is exactly what I love about Roblox. My 11-year-old daughter does "commissions" and designs 3d objects to sell, she's on "Scripting teams" where they help design in-game elements. She's having fun, building / creating, learning and interacting with people. Something I could only dream of when I was 11 (I had BBS's, lots of TW2002).

My 11-year-old knows blender, photoshop, python and javascripting because of Roblox and some Minecraft.

Revolution? I know and see lots of cheering in the tech world for automated driving, but not a lot of honest discussion about how it will probably be the largest upheaval in social order in at least a century, if not longer.

Last I looked, in something like 48 of the 50 states the number one job involved driving for pay. While I happen to think we are further from driving automation than is usually presented, when it does come it will basically come all at once. There will just not be enough time for these millions of people to be absorbed elsewhere in the economy. Will be very interesting to see how society responds.
Words are text oriented but if you’re learning the word “blue”, text isn’t going to help you a whole lot. It’ll help you spell it and recognize the word, but it won’t help you understand what the color means nearly as well as a video which shows the word but also several images of blue things.

I’m not at all convinced that programming is primarily text oriented in any case. The underlying concepts are mathematical and logical, not textual. People don’t learn through text or video. Those are mediums. They learn through metaphor and relationships.

So the question is which medium gets those metaphors across most efficiently. Consider, for instance, a binary tree. It’s a metaphor. And I’d be willing to bet most people new to the topic would learn that metaphor better (or at least faster) with a person drawing out a tree and pointing to the path a program would take to add/remove/list/etc. the nodes on the tree than they would seeing a block of code and having someone explain it in text.

Note: the Pew survey was US readers only. I suppose ideas that Europe may consider centre-right, such as "free market capitalism is great as long as it has a modicum of government regulation and a functioning social welfare system" are viewed as dangerously radical across the pond.
> Ewaste is a problem for sure, but it doesn’t present the same complexity as nuclear waste products.

It isn't complex because it is unsolvable. When large amount of solar panels reach their end of life we are guaranteed to get large quantities of carcinogens in landfill that eventually leaks into the water table. Many sets of landfill are guaranteed to be poorly managed, and even those that are well managed are not scrutinised to the same extent as a nuclear related activity and will be of lower quality.

With nuclear, if we successfully traverse a complicated path then there will be no carcinogens in the water supply in the next 100 years. If we do it wrong there will be small quantities of carcinogens in the water supply.

> Almost all of the pro-nuclear arguments depend on an ideal state that never will and never did exist today.

What we are doing with nuclear today is working better than what we were doing with solar today. There is less waste and the harm it does is less than the harm of solar waste.

Anti-nuclear arguments just don't seem grapple with these questions of scale. Carcinogens sourced from e-waste are at least as bad as carcinogens from radioactive materials. As far as I can tell, large quantities of lead are worse.

> my state directly subsidizes nuclear plants because the operational expenses and capital costs make the electricity produced more expensive than the open market will pay.

This didn't stop Germanny bringing in solar. I've heard a rumour that German solar and wind are triple the cost of French nuclear, last half as long.
That's not what their offering claims: "You won't waste your resources on time-consuming interviews, ever again."

Also, you don't need to carefully go through 300+ job applications to find a suitable candidate for a position. If that's part of your hiring process, fix that first.

And while this app might be meant to reduce the cost a company spends on the hiring process, they are doing it at the expense of the person applying for the job who now has to invest more time. Sorry, but I don't want to work for a company that sees me only as an expense and / or as a source of profit. Spend the money to meet me as a human. Want to do an initial phone call for a quick screening to make sure my CV isn't a lie? No problem. But if you want to automate that away to an app, some folks are going to take a pass. And I would suspect the ones taking a pass are the top talent who are in demand and can pick and choose who they get to work for.
Related: Richard Feynman, "Computers Don't Compute"

"One of the miseries of life is that everyone names everything a litte bit wrong, and so it makes everything a little harder to understand in the world than it would be if it were named differently. A computer does not primarily compute in the sense of doing arithmetic. Strange. Although they call them computers, that's not what they primarily do. They primarily are filing systems. People in the computer business say they're not really computers, they are "data handlers". All right. That's nice. Data handlers would have been a better name because it gives a better idea of the idea of a filing system. "

The performance would be pretty bad. Every time someone placed or broke a block, the game would have to check if there was a heavy object above it that now has to fall, if there was water flowing through that voxel that now has to be rerouted, etc etc. Combine this with many players in one world and you will not get many server ticks per second.
I wonder if there could be a way to highlight this information while shopping on Amazon. Regardless of the prices, Amazon works as a huge catalog of goods. But what if there were, say, a browser extension that displayed a notification that the same seller offers the same product on another platform, but cheaper. Or even more expensive, but within a predefined range - some people might be willing to accept a small increase for the sake of undermining the Amazon monopoly.

The real trick would be to account for shipping in the calculations.

The marginal cost of renewables isn't zero, producing it causes more wear and tear than not producing it. Furthermore, if you pay negative prices as a result of a renewable surge, that might as well be considered into the marginal cost.

Even if the marginal cost was zero, you gave coal/nuclear as the cause for negative energy prices, even though they didn't exist before renewables came into the picture. You may claim that the situation is better with the renewables in the mix, but you can't claim that renewables aren't the ultimate cause of negative prices in this case.

Similarly, you may claim that coal/nuclear are slow/expensive to regulate, but then must also concede that wind/solar can't be regulated up at all and couldn't provide a stable supply without e.g. natural gas, or a buffering solution that currently doesn't exist (at scale) and isn't priced into wind/solar.
Yep. Firefox doesn’t really look and play like a Fluent design app. This look worked well for Windows 8-10 but it’ll look more and more out of place as time goes on now. Would be nice to see an UI refresh for Windows using WinUI for the chrome. I was never a big fan of HTML/CSS as their chrome because this also guarantees we’ll never have a cross platform browser in a native user interface.

I'm sure Apple is not so stupid and sexist as to have business logic that gives men 10x the credit limit as women, other things being equal. My guess is that the credit limit depends on the person's reported individual income, so that if the husband earns more than the wife, which is still true in the majority of U.S. households, he gets a higher credit limit. If that is the explanation, I think it's a plausible, non-sexist way of setting a credit limit, although setting a credit limit based on household income is equally plausible.

Even in a well-tested codebase some integration points are extremely hard to test, notably external services that you connect to. Rewriting these to use a different service or just a different way of connecting to a service would be an example where this ends up being useful.
Right, but the reason it has value is that it's tied to a high paying job where the supply of labor is limited. (Which is why, as soon as Uber flooded the labor side, the value of taxi medallions plummeted.)

If longshoremen were allowed to buy and sell their union memberships (say in the form of "union member medallions") they'd probably have similar value to taxi medallions.

Disclaimer: I've edited OSM a bit, but I don't know much about it. I had no idea before this post that iD was unpopular among any group.

The OSM database consists, primarily, of nodes (points) and ways (ordered sets of nodes). On its own, these mean nothing—a way could be a road, a coastline, or the outline of a building. Nodes and ways are described using key=value tags, which give them meaning. Users can input arbitrary tags, but for them to be useful there obviously have to be some sorts of conventions about what tags get used for what. These conventions are captured on the OpenStreetMap wiki.

The iD editor is one of several tools for editing OSM, and is the one recommended to new users. Because manually entering key=value pairs isn't particularly user-friendly, iD has some built-in knowledge about what tags mean what, allowing a user to mark a way as, say, a "Parking Aisle" and have iD automatically tag it as highway=service service=parking_aisle. It seems that one of the main complains is that the authors of iD are adopting conventions inconsistent with those used by the community, leading to inconsistent data.

There also seem to be some other complaints. iD includes some links to the OSM community, and apparently featured "proprietary" (and, presumably, more usable) platforms such as Slack and Reddit over "open" platforms (IRC, mailing lists). iD also uses logos of some brands (if I mark a building as a McDonalds, the McDonalds logo shows up) and apparently loads these from Twitter and Facebook, leading to privacy concerns.
