This sounds a lot like my current situation at work. We're a decently-sized company of 100+ people. About a quarter of them are developers. Developers are divided into teams who are responsible for specific components of our system.

However, there are also a few "architects" who are basically free agents with god-like status. They don't architect anything. Rather, they do a lot of counter-productive things such as attending meetings for specific teams without those teams knowing. Then they make large decisions about the direction of a given feature without documenting anything, let alone letting those teams in on what's going on. It's always a fun surprise and works wonders for our ability to deliver a solution on time /s

Beyond that, they'll go off and develop whatever they feel like and force it through the system. We have a code review process, but if you bring up that problems are present in their code, they will often say that it doesn't matter and that the code just has to go through to meet some unspecified deadlines. They'll get management to skip code reviews if you try to hold them accountable. And of course, this results in things exploding. But then they can clean up those exploded bits, knowing what they were, and come out heroically since they "put out so many fires".

I'll stop ranting. But it really is frustrating, especially when you get shut down by management for bringing up any issues with this chaotic group.
I switch mediums often which might be the reason. Typically I use my leuchtturm1917 notebooks which have decent weight paper that absorbs the ink nicely.

I think when I switch materials on occasion when I'm in a meeting and only have scrap paper, think some waxy coated film papers e.g. 3M post-it notes material, this is clogging my nib somehow. What do you think? I never made this connection before, might help me avoid some future grief if I can stick to proper fountain pen paper.

I use noodler's bullet proof black ink.

I have several Lamy pens up to $100
This seems like vi vs all other editors then. I should stick with vim because I will always find myself on some other system where vi is the lowest common denominator. I should stick with a straight, flat keyboard because I will always end up with a straight, flat keyboard. Having temporary joy created only by making all other moments comparatively unpleasant seems like a bad trade.

A good point that I've not made in my post above. When people learn that I've no SIM card in my smartphones they inevitably remark why bother having one. The fact is smartphones are excellent computers and I use them as such all the time in applications where cellular modems aren't necessary.
No it's not, targeting ads is allowing people to bid on completely anonymous (to them) users to see their ads based on demographic categories.
A leuchtturm1917 notebook with pretty absorbent paper that soaks up the ink nicely. I switch paper though in meeting, so sometimes I will be using waxy coated paper e.g. 3M post-it notes, which I think is the main culprit clogging my pens. What do you think?
Most kernel devs have Intel processors, and anecdotally, it does seem like you see more AMD-specific patches coming in the changelogs as people with the chips get new kernel versions and find new breakages.

Another side effect of Intel's market penetration is that the Intel implementation of any given featureset is targeted first. Things like nested virtualization may work mostly-OK on Intel by now but are still in their infancy on AMD; for example, it appears that MS still blacklists AMD from nested virtualization. [0]

> Do people actually accept such interviews? That seems quite disrespectful to me, tbh.

I was under the impression that pretty much any FAANG interviews will have significant data structures and algorithms components and/or whiteboarding over Leetcode-like problems. Maybe I am wrong on this.

Outside of FAANG, I've found it's hit or miss, but the smaller the company the less likely you'll have to deal with bullshit hiring practices, at least that was my experience.

> Oh you've been working in a relevant field for 10 years? Here take this written test first, so we can check how well you can memorize hundreds of random irrelevant algorithms...

Yeah, and it's even worse if you don't have a formal CS degree. People always say that it's important to know data structures or algorithms or Big O-complexity so you "don't do something horribly inefficient in production", but in retrospect, I haven't had many problems with performance in real life. When I did have problems, it was usually fixed by modifying a SQL or ORM query. Once I fixed someone's major performance issues just by recommending installing a different package to generate PDF's.

I seriously doubt anyone needs a computer-science degree and deep low-level data-structures and algorithms knowledge unless they are going to be writing databases or compilers or designing programming languages. Most of the time, some common-sense and a handful of "good practice" coding/software eng. rules will do the job.

Disclaimer: I work on typical web/server applications. I'd probably have a different opinion if I were working on life or death software, e.g. medical device software, airplane control systems software.
Smoothing paper sounds like an interesting solution, will look into your this. Thanks!
Owning a compute platform is an extremely powerful asset, that all tech giants are fighting for. Especially as computing became something that average Joe does, compared to a geeky hobby.

With mobile platforms, it allows you to control what competitors apps can do and exclude your apps from same limits (like full control over notifications), you can charge border line extortion prices for purchases on your platform (30% is margin to kill for in any business), gives you all the analytics about what people are doing (no need to spyware or sketchy vpns - you get sources data about all downloads, purchases, even running apps to some extent), and many, many more.

I don’t know will be the next big computing platform, but I’m 100% sure tech giants will be fighting super hard and dirty to dominate it.

I have a newish all intel setup, and 5.4 crashes to the point of insanity. I gave up and installed 5.5 and it went away. It's a serious issue for an LTS release.

And then a second, similar situation played out again after Google created Android.

Just like Google knew it would be left out of it didn't do something, the iPhone was an AT&T exclusive at first, and Verizon was afraid they'd be left out of the smartphone thing and lose subscribers. So they bankrolled an enormous marketing campaign, which is why one fall/winter (IIRC) everyone in the US was bombarded with endless Motorola Droid ads.

The AT&T exclusive ended, of course, but it's quite possible Android might not have gotten off the ground if Verizon hadn't felt a threat too. There's definitely no guarantee Google would have spent on marketing. Back then, Google didn't really believe in advertising itself through traditional channels like TV. When Google was a younger company, word of mouth was always enough marketing for its earlier products like web search and Gmail. It's only pretty recently in the grand scheme of things (after Android's rise to popularity) that Google got into that kind of marketing.

So that's one way in which hindsight shows that the AT&T exclusive might have been a bad move for Apple. If they hadn't done that, it might have been harder for Android to make inroads with carriers (through business deals) and with customers (through advertising).

Tell HN: Google Is Hurting Modern Web Apps
I just wanted to say that Google's laser focus on "content" is really hurting modern Single-Page Apps. A lot of developers have to insert unnecessary garbage "SEO" text into their interfaces just to make Google happy. Some apps consist of large iframes from other domains (for security reasons) and Google thinks they are spam or "thin content" and might penalize them...

All these are holding the web-app ecosystem back.
I think you are right, but there is something wrong if we can't handle an astronaut or two for scientific progress yet are more than happy to throw bodies into the middle-east.

So I question whether or not it matters what the public thinks in this area. Maybe they can just do the work without making it a spectacle. Then an astronaut dies, it makes news for a bit, and the distracted populace moves on in a week.

Same here. That's usually the kind of videos I watch, cause I'm not that interested in seeing benchmarks of the latest RGB memory sticks, or any other memory sticks, GFX cards, headphones for that matter.

When I saw his LAN gaming center I though it would be cool if he'd retry that project for that. :->
I agree with you. However, making a great single-page app takes a lot of experience and work, a bit less so with current frameworks, but still. A lot of in-house SPAs are truly terrible, with bad performance and broken navigation, you wish the developers wouldn’t have bothered. Multi-page apps might be a bit harder to screw up as badly.

So maybe the user experience hierarchy goes something like: great SPA > MPA > average SPA?

This would mean there’s still a place for MPAs, at least with certain budget constraints.
Neat, almost like a probabilistic extension of radix sort.
It's a risk they'll take. Look at what happened to ninja and shroud when they switched to mixer from twitch. They are probably down 70%+ on their viewers (based on me checking in infrequently) and mixer isn't even walled off. It is incredibly hard to wall off something in this age of plentiful entertainment and maintain the viewers you once had.
Hold your horses a second, there are multiple Apple "Magic" and wireless keyboard versions. The original Magic Keyboard and later all suck from my view, trying to be some sort of ortho hipster conversation pieces that never get used. As it so happens, I'm currently typing on an "Apple Wireless Keyboard" (Aluminum, Bluetooth) MB167LL/A, which has a sensible layout and full inverted-T arrows. They can be had on eBay for $40 US and take 2x AA batteries that last for several months on alkalines or about a month on NiMH rechargeables. The Logitech "smart" keyboard that came with an iPad Pro case is a glorified cover that I never use as a keyboard because it's not nearly as good as the WK. I've had this WK for about 8-10 years and really abused it, but it keeps working... the same can't be said for modern Apple products.
good idea. especially for start up, hire a team is very very important.
Sorry, but Android has nothing to do with iPhone.

I agree if you’re already using Spotify to listen to podcasts. But if you’re not, you’d definitely notice a move to Spotify Exclusive because you’d need to have two podcast apps.
Not surprising considering for a few days there, after control was implemented, the National Health Commission numbers adhered to an exponential trend with an R2 value of 0.995-9.

https://twitter.com/whistle_posse/status/1221964216040509440

An exponential curve is a great way to catch up to the numbers of infected that already exist.

The good news is this means the outbreak is less contagious and uncontrolled than was reported.

Its also probably harder to hide deaths than recoveries, so the mortality rate is likely lower.

The bad news is, people may be infectious for longer before they show symptoms.

> other people in the office/household usually aren’t amused about loud keyboards

My partner and kids don't like many things about my job of a software developer, but they've learned to live with that. There are many, more difficult jobs in the world. And my family probably happy with the fact that I don't have a job that entails leaving them at 3AM with a fear that I may not come back alive.

Besides, at this point, split, mechanical keyboard for me is not a gimmick - I literally cannot type for longer than several minutes on a regular keyboard, my wrists hurt badly. I honestly think - Kinesis Advantage might have saved my career, my only regret that I haven't made the switch before I had my RSI, which was so severe that left me no option but to try it.

Driving in particular is different...and as I teach my wife to drive I realize how stressful and compute intensive it is. Slow down if there's cars on the side of the road, a kid will dart out. Keep an eye on what's around and behind you in case you need to swerve, etc etc. It's hard. But the fact is, if you're moving forward and hit something, it's your fault. You either weren't paying attention well enough, or you have serious tunnel vision. Either of which are grounds for retraining in my eyes.
Also why it's still a subsonic flight even with a ground speed greater than the speed of sound (~1200 km/h).

Marketing: Mailchimp works pretty well, I have a self hosted Jekyll website too. I also have a public Telegram group that anybody can join, but few have so far

Communication: Mostly Slack

Social: I don't really network within my field. There is no hardware or physical component to what I do, and I work from my house most of the time.

I do self host things like Git, CICD, etc, and it wasn't really worth the trouble. When this scales out to beyond say ten people I'll definitely migrate to a SaaS stack. The biggest pain point with self hosting was choosing Drone CI for the CICD. That has been the most fragile part of the setup by a land slide.
Spotify works fine on iOS, so going Spotify only doesn't "lock out" iOS users. There's a paywall, sure, but that's no different to on Android.

If the most affluent audience is iOS users, then Spotify probably sees this as critical to success on iOS because it gives them something that people can't get from Apple Music.

How many of the top 50 podcast do you suppose would be willing to give up their broader market to be Spotify only?

It's interesting: exclusive deals haven't worked well in the music industry because artists make most money outside the platform in concerts etc, and exclusive deals eats into that. OTOH, media plays (eg streamers, TV shows) make most of their money directly from the show and so exclusive deals make sense.

I think many of the top 50 podcasts are exclusively advertising supported, and so they will be tempted by an exclusive deal.
You're a brave person, lmao. I pretty much stopped responding to the poster when I realized it wasn't getting through.

His site says he stopped email on January 1, 1990. This would have been before his formal retirement in 1992 or 1993 which was also unusual in that he was only in his early 50s at the time.

I happen to very much like mechanical keyboards but not the noise. I think it's noise pollution tbh. Loud clicky keyboards, usually using Cherry MX Blue switches or like the old IBM or Northgate keyboards, can be retrofitted with O-rings so that they're quieter by limiting downward travel and the stress and noise that bottoming them generates.

If you like mechanical keyboards without the noise, MX Clear (modded with brown springs) or MX Brown switches are the way to go. There's a whole subreddit on DIY and keyboard mods.
Even more astounding is that "Parasite" was the first Korean film to win any Oscar and the first to even be nominated for best foreign/international film.
> I can't see Android getting there sooner

Why? iPhones still don't support multiple users natively as far as I can tell. Android has this by default since... 7? 8?

> The value of cotton candy was never the chance to eat something sugary. It was the chance to eat something magical that belonged in faerie tales ... Tasting it was such a minor element of the whole thing.

I don't agree that this is true in general. It doesn't have to be one or the other, it can be both. Kids love sugary things, and it also has an appealing "melt in your mouth" texture.

I usually don't mind some on-topic advertising, but this is a little too bold for my taste.
Possibly. Do you mean that in the sense on the article where a producer said it’s best if: “people know your face but not your name”?

That’s definitely a distinction.

But I actually meant it in the sense that most fields and sub fields are so small that you can be legit famous within them but have no problems of fame because the number of people involved is tiny.

But if the field grew 100-1000x, you would then have problems of fame with the sheer numbers.

Think of whatever speciality you’re in, then consider you probably know what 1-5 notable people in the field look or sound like, without knowing them personally. That’s essentially what fame is: the effects only get odd when the field is so generally that much larger numbers will recognize that same person. Some portion of any sufficiently large group will be over enthusiastic or malevolent.
In addition to the sensible measures explained in the article you should also do the thing they excluded from the analysis upfront: drive less. Move closer to your job, move closer to a train station, move to a country with proper public transport. Factor in car dependence when choosing a new job or a new home.
I don't think they hate mechanical keyboards per se, but the noise pollution that they've associated with keyboards that have Cherry MX Blue switches, or an IBM Model F or M, or Northgate Omnikey Ultra. It was fine back in the day in the computer lab in high-school or wherever else that it's not bothering people, but not fine to bring in a clicky keyboard, full tower PC and a 37" monitor to a coffeeshop where 50 students are studying for finals, or in an open office environment where every little motion and noise has the potential to distract everyone else.
Never heard of this before - thanks!

Having been in an SRE-like role my entire engineering career I can empathize with the mindset. I've built pub cloud and provided tier(N) support for it and managed hosting having to fix screw-ups from OTHER companies engineering teams, as well as working in-house roles with SRE responsibilities.

It's an easy mindset to get into and a blog is certainly a valid place to blow off some steam IMHO.. But when you have the knowledge AND access to fix all of your own mistakes, it's easy to forget that everyone makes mistakes and to empathize with the every-engineer. It can be a toxic mindset to let seep into the workplace; better saved for the pub :)
