Don't know if KeepassXC has the same functionality as Keepass, but they provide an option to use a LocalDB/MasterDB synchronization [0]. This could help preventing desync problems.

If you want to have kids, time isn't on your side. Getting pregnant is harder later in life and it also introduces other risks like down syndrome.
I've been away from the bay for a while, but it's amazing how bad the dating scene is, for exactly the reasons you described. I'm currently engaged to an amazing woman who has only ever lived in working-class suburbs and smaller cities. Her exes and her friends' husbands are shockingly anti-intellectual, didn't attend college, have some substance abuse issues, and/or make well under 6 figures. She keeps telling me how amazing I am as a partner, even though in my mind, I'm just being a decent human being. Engineers in places like SFBA severely underestimate how attractive they would be anywhere else in the country/world.
Trying to comment here too now :) Hello everyone!
While I don't agree with going overboard and burning yourself out, I do agree with the premise.

So many people want to find their passion first and then they think they'll work hard once they find it.

It's actually the other way around.

Give 100% to what you're working on (no more though) and you'll find that you become passionate about it.

So, amusingly, my referral hit rate at Google is like 1/10. Worse, I only refer people if they've told me that they're certain they wish to go through the terrible process.

When I say 1/10, I don't mean 10%, I mean I have entered about 10, and only one got an offer. In my opinion, all were qualified and should have been given offers. For comparison, I've done roughly 100 interviews or something (though not nearly enough SWE interviews, because I'm in San Francisco). As an additional upwards bias, I actively discourage people from applying, so this is only the folks that said "I understand, refer me anyway".

All that said, Google is really more like dozens of independent companies now. There's Search/Ads, YouTube, Cloud, Photos, Android, Maps/"Geo", and so on. Your mileage will vary pretty drastically depending on how you're routed. Just like Dan was misdirected towards a software interview, I've had friends tossed into the SRE hiring pipeline, asked how to operate large-scale distributed systems and so on, when their background is "Umm, I just did my PhD in CS in Graphics... I've never written a networked program in my life".

To all the other Google employees: find the job posting internally that your friends would actually want, talk to the hiring manager to figure out what that maps to externally on the job postings page (it often doesn't), and then tell the assigned recruiter that you're serious about your recommendation. The recruiter may still override you in deference to their hiring targets / goals though (the one offer I've seen from my referral went this way despite my effort), so don't promise your friends that you can fix it for them.

I'm not here to excuse these hiring practices. Instead, be honest with yourself about why you want to apply, and how much hassle you're willing to put up with. In my experience, all other companies will decide more quickly on your hiring result, role, level, compensation and so on. I believe that's because of the scale of the interviewing and hiring (>10k full-time employees per year for the last few years), except it's always been pretty bad at Google.
Avoiding pthreads because they aren't portable and replacing them with a spinlock sounds a little bit like madness, that was my point.

What is the non-posix target you have in mind? Windows? Seems like conditionally compiling against either pthreads or win32 critical section [or anything else] is a feasible thing and reasonable action. Maybe even the spinlock as a last resort.

As a very frequent R user, I actually find non-standard evaluation to be more hassle than good in most situations.

If you want to program with most of the tidyverse libraries, you are forced to implement a bunch of non-sense into your function to properly evaluate arguments within a function. Sure, NSE may be useful in some circumstances, but more often than not, it just increases the likelihood of introducing a bug.

Especially for new programmers, NSE is a huge leap and very confusing.

The old solution was exporting underscore ie: ‘mutate_()’ suffixed functions that used standard evaluation. And this was fine. But, then RStudio decides to deprecate these functions and force NSE on users. I’m not happy about that, and I often avoid using libraries like dplyr when writing functions so that I don’t have to deal with it.
I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you :) Developer here - there's Go in our backend systems, but not in the app, unfortunately.
I can agree with that. I went with the idiom that came to mind and the connotation/image that I have associated with it, not really considering inclusion. Exclusion wasn't a goal, but despite less 'flavor' (with flavor being subjective and not necessary), "Can we agree to" is probably a better choice.

What you're describing sounds most like a) badly-written login scripts, or b) misconfigured DNS confounding the client's domain controller locator, or c) both. IME the folks who tinker with login scripts don't tend to think about execution time or failure modes, and it's tough to get a good developer assigned to that kind of work--and the MIS folks are unlikely to invite that kind of attention to their works.
From my experience, math/computer-science type research is almost always exactly reproducible.

Women definitely have it harder, as they have to work pretty hard just to be seen as contributing.

The golden rule is though, the tricks still work, and doing real work is usually one of the least efficient ways of making yourself seen as contributing. As they say, 'play to the rules they set out'. As a general rule, the metrics that people use within companies to determine performance are hopelessly bad, they will reward easy but visible work far more than hard and important but also not that visible work. As such, optimise your moves to peak the performance figures they're looking for, which almost always have very little to do with what actually needs to be done to keep the company performing well.

The women I have seen succeed have used the exact same tactics, perhaps with a bit of extra assertiveness and extra work put in to look the part as well, for example virtue signalling professionalism via clothing etc, which men don't usually have to do because of the awful patriarchy. Just my thoughts, anyway.
The book is trying really hard to be the next Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy.

Trying a bit too hard at times.

I honestly think another few manuscript revisions, and a pass or two from a brutal editor, and it might have ended up there.

But as it is.. parts of the book just aren't good. Which is sad because some parts are great!

I find the science crisis even more worrying now that society and Internet spread the notion of "sourced everything or it's false".

On the other hand we have the government saying they don’t want other countries reproducing our results in AI, cryptography, genetics...
Well you need a model of the world you can simulate. That would be where you start. We could probably program a world simulation to help the robot learn in the environment. There would be some uncertainty though between the simulation and real world as well as uncertainty in the simulated vs learned object concepts. Interesting questions is if deep learning could learn the concept of gravity?
To the example of factory and 50 year cycle of auction and potential eviction.

If noone else wished to take over the land on which the factory stood, well then the factory owner renews the lease for another 50 years.

If there was somebody who wished to own that land and offered higher price, well they'd win the auction. However they wouldn't suddenly own the factory. They would still have to pay the price of the factory to the previous owner, much like it is done today.

If they didn't want the factory, only the land under it, and they won the auction but didn't pay for the factory, then that would result in a deadlock situation.

The original factory owner would stop production, but the new owner would be prevented from using it either, but would be stuck with the rent payments for the land under the factory.

Most likely he would sell it back to the previous owner or just not bid for it in the first place.

Only if he really wanted it that much that he would pay for the land rent to the government and price of the factory to the previous owner, he would get it.

And that is pretty much how it works today, so nothing really would change.
Sorry, but this is urban legend to me. No saying it does not happen, but that is definitely a very special case.

I manage a team of quantitative developers in a Hedge Fund and do between 50 and 100 interviews per year, at senior level. I have head hunter compensation report on the candidates. I see regularly candidates from Google, Amazon, and finance industry. I very rarely see 6 digit bonus for big techs. My experience is that they have a high fixed salary and low 5 digit bonus.
Ideally, but once you are deep in a field what a field even is becomes murky. You have a biology paper you submit for review, but methodologically it's not really a biology paper, but maybe a statistics paper, or a computer science paper, or a theoretical math paper. Who reviews that paper, the person who knows the biology in question or the methods through and through? Sometimes the only person in the world who knows the theory and the technology in question the best is the author.

People here keep harkening back to "but miners can handle that shit easily". It is entirely to avoid the setup where miners are the sole arbiters of the chain, that we require this. The entire point of bitcoin is to put power into the hands of people. Which means everyone needs to keep a copy of the blockchain instead of having a small number of entities with massive storage fighting against each other to decide which chain is valid.

The very fact that you guys are not recognising this means that you still don't understand the concept of decentralisation and want to settle with the altcoin route of making up the word as you go along and if it fits your narrative. If your entire chain was at the mercy of a few large mining corporations, you are dead in the water. The attack vector is easily compromised and you have no leg to stand on.
> but to my knowledge, Chime is the only one that puts such a large emphasis on language-level support. We intend to continue to focus on that going forward.

Thanks for developing this great product! I'm so thankful for your efforts for integrating your app with AppKit (like - being basically the only editor that supports AppKit tabs which... AFAIK even Safari doesn't). I mean -- I'm compelled to learn Go trying to justify buying this :-)

By all means please continue this effort; and if possible, consider add support for other languages.
By looking at your blogposts it seems it's running LSP under-the-hood for completion; by leveraging LSP, I hope Chime can gain multi-language support. That would basically justify a hundred dollars at least for me.

Thanks.
One interesting anecdote: The Varian brothers, Russell and Sigurd [1], were "Born to theosophist parents who helped lead the utopian community of Halcyon, California". [0] Halcyon was an 'intentional community'.

They founded Varian Associates, an early influential firm, and a prototype for the Silicon Valley M.O. for creating technology companies: They were incubated at Stanford University.

It is contradictory, but until the courts finally decide whether an API can be copyrighted, no one knows if they have to pay royalties or not, Oracle included.
> I know some women in the Bay, working in areas like recruiting and marketing, who are dating VCs and CEOs exclusively and consider dating "plain engineers" to be beneath them.

That sounds more like bullets dodged than a loss (for the engineers that is).
Whew, let me tell you. Chime has used three different Go language servers, as well as custom stuff. Every server was different, with different behavior, performance characteristics, and supporting different feature sets in different ways. And that was just for Go! I cannot imagine how it is for other languages.

Offering high-quality language support takes a lot of work, per-language and even per-server.
>There's a common saying that you can't take your stuff with you when you die, but you can't take your memories or relationships either.

The only thing of value we leave behind is our artistic creations. Whatever Javascript adware or trendy C replacement you're hacking on will be obsolete before you finish decomposing. All your "experiential purchases" like travel, relationships, etc. will be gone in a flash. The only thing left will be the art you created. The art you created is of course not entirely your own, it's essentially a restatement of the world cultural traditions, but through the lens of your life experience in a way that only you could create.
Whether I like their position or not is irrelevant, whether I like Oracle is irrelevant, even whether it's what the law says is irrelevant: Oracle's position and their actions are entirely consistent.

They're copying the S3 API, and they did so under the license granted in the S3 client software.

If you publish either your client or server software, or some specification of your API and you do so with some kind of license, you are licensing your API.

Amazon's publishing of their client software under Apache means they have licensed their API to everyone who downloaded it, including Oracle. The license is irrevocable.

Google copied Java's API without getting license to do so. Java was not published by Oracle or Sun with such a license, nor did Google obtain such license to use their API by contacting Oracle for one.

The I in API means interface. Ars is getting confused by the API and the implementation of it here:

> However, the Amazon SDK is code that uses the S3 API, not code that implements it—the difference between a customer who orders hash browns and the Waffle House cook who interprets the orders. Code that uses an API will be organized completely differently from code that implements one; it may not even contain the whole API. And Oracle has for years argued that using an API is unrelated to reimplementation and not an infringement of copyright (or else every app developer using Java would infringe).

The client library isn't the code using the API, it contains the the API. Oracle argues in the link:

> This case is about Google’scopying of Oracle’s work. App programmers are unaffected. They remain free to write any program they want availing themselves of the Java APIs, for free. The decision only requires platform developers — usually large corporations with tremendous resources, like Google—to take a license if they want to copy Oracle’s work and incorporate it into a substitute commercial product.

Oracle's point here is that an application using a small portion of the API is acceptable copying. AWS published and licensed the entire client software, containing the entire API for S3.

Public accountability for terrible guest experiences, at least somewhat.
Right now they can't (cheaply) say "You must own a device from this specific list in order to use our website" because there is no way of cryptographically proving that. What WebAuthn has done, by including support for attestation, is make that not only possible but likely, presenting it as something beneficial for security and making it easy to implement.

It is rational to not give your adversaries the tools needed to oppress you.

Those resources should not be read as implying that there is any chance GCloud gets "shut down" in 2023 or 2033 or 2043 or anytime before the recognizable end of computing as a business. There are issues, to be sure, but this is not Reader.

Google maintains strategic leadership in infrastructure to efficiently run Ads. The ultimate addressable market in the cloud business is as large or larger than the ads business.

Cloud also is just getting into the middle game, where commodity storage/compute services start to give way to specialized and domain specific storage/compute/analytics/intelligence. Google has unique strengths there, and a number of opportunities/advantages vis a vis Microsoft/AWS.

But rather than dominating in Cloud, Google treats it as a hobby- like TV was for Apple for about a decade. Google can perfectly well continue to treat it like a hobby. They are well ahead technically, and have plenty of cash to maintain that leadership underneath Ads.

Those resources are reporting on the framing that- for the right leaders inside Google, there is an opportunity to turn their infrastructure capabilities from a strategic skillset into a leading business. That's all.

Maybe they will, maybe not. But even if they don't, there will be no "shutting down" on any near term time frame. Even as a hobby Cloud will be big enough to be alive for a long time.
Rereading ancestor comments I think we are on the same page actually, but in case I’m wrong…

In general, I could appreciate the decision to make a stance in this way on a personal level, but when evaluating a real landing page for a paid product from business perspective—which would be an inseparable aspect—I would not be able to recommend preferring “technically correct” over “actually working”.

This does not only hurt sales/business, but also causes stress to non-technical end users. All they experience is their browser exiting when they visit the page (thankfully, tabs are preserved on next launch); they are not concerned with implementation and do not become more aware of Apple’s standard non-conformance as a result.

A non-commercial website oriented towards developers, or indeed a joke such as in this case, is fine, of course.

In short, violating open standards—bad, taking a stance—good, hurting regular users and business—bad.

Weird. I have. We seem to have very different experiences.

Also whenever I’ve talked to people who work inside Facebook I just. I just couldn’t. I’m certain I’d go stark raving depressed so quickly there. The froyo on campus is nice though.
No, you got it. No public plugin system now, though anything is possible. There are already so many editors that fill that role.
