Sounds like managers are risk averse because they'll get the blame if something goes wrong but not the credit if it goes right.

But I don't think the risk has to be so big. By the end of an interview process, candidates I talk to already know where I think they should improve because that's part of the back and forth discussion in the interview itself. I also like to actually get to know the person a little bit which helps me judge how they'll respond. I'm also not afraid to make an offer on the low side instead of rejecting outright, etc.

Dear Designer: How to Explain to Your Kids That You Work at Facebook
I wish there will be some Chromium/Blink/v8 experts shedding some light on what might be going on in this thread. Otherwise it’s just gonna dissolve into another switch-to-Firefox call-to-action megathread that happens twice a day now.
They’re not intentionally breaking anything, they’re just making it work exclusively with Chromium by not testing under Firefox. It saves them time and money.
I suspect that in this case the phone is using Bluetooth Low energy “passive scanning”. This means that the phone is listening for advertising devices (eg beacons) but never actually transmitting Bluetooth packets and therefore never actually exposing its Bluetooth address over the air.
TIL, thanks. Although, based on https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2797454?hl=en, it looks like the rights owner can delay the appeal process for up to 60 days, keeping the video down (since you have to file a dispute which gives them 30 days to respond, and then an appeal which gives them another 30).
This analogy is wrong because legitimate actors performed every transaction in the chain in a fully legal manner. There was no stolen credit card, no shifty advertising, no nothing that was wrong.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Countries and Sectors
This works up to a point, but early tilting trains (e.g. British APT) were scrapped because the tilt was too high and it made drinks spill and people too nauseous.
Dude, don’t... the whole visa sector is being overhauled as part of Brexit. You likely won’t get any clarity for a year or more, and if you do there is little guarantee that it won’t change in 12 months time.
I haven't confirmed it with hard numbers yet, but I think these perf regressions may also be affecting node; node 13.1 executes our test suite in about 5 minutes on my workstation, while a canary build of node running the latest v8 (which I was trying because it fixed a perf regression in debug stepping performance which first appears in node 13.2) seems to take almost 7 minutes. Now, I thought it was just maybe a consequence of it being a prerelease build; but seeing this, if it's actually just indicative of broad perf regressions in v8... I'll be honest, I'd be surprised, since every v8 release blog is always talking about perf _improvements_.
FSD in an old vehicle like this doesn’t even do anything. It’s a placeholder feature, you would never know if it was on or not, there’s zero customer facing features in the fsd package on -older- vehicles.

Newer vehicles, yes, FSD package has features.
The issue is that there's no pressure on employers to require it, so there's no advantage on e.g. employability or salary from getting these codes.

I live in the UK and was considering going through the British Computer Society certification process years ago, but dropped it, because while I do care about the ethical side etc. the additional amount of effort it'd take to document skills I already had was not worth it when prospective employers in the fields I've worked in just did not care.

Ditch the Juul and get something that allows you to gradually step down the nicotine level. Also something non-nic-salt - it's the nic-salts that make Juuls even more addictive. Don't stop until you have been on 0mg nicotine for at least two weeks, then you only have to worry about the physical, hand-to-mouth habit when you put it down for good.

I'm doing this with a Uwell Caliburn Pod, since it's similar in form factor to the Juul, but refillable with regular juice. I'm down to 1mg juice, and planning on going to zero next week. I know it works because I've done it before.
One small point I'd like to make regarding USB mics (and USB headsets): the #1 rule of digital audio is to only have a single sample clock for the entire system (the sample clock is the thing that defines when a voltage value gets converted to/generated from a digital sample).

Although I understand the plug-n-play appeal of these devices, they uniformly violate this rule because they cannot share whatever sample clock is being used for the other "direction" (i.e. the USB mic has its own clock, which is independent from the one used for playback).

Using these sorts of devices implicitly requires the audio software stack to do resampling to keep both input and output in sync with each other. For podcasting the change in quality that this causes is probably not an issue, but users should at least be aware this is happening under the hood.

You're much better off getting a cheap USB audio interface, an XLR mic and doing both recording and playback via the same device (with a single sample clock).
> just saying that the premise behind them appears to be accurate

There's only one way to find out.

Indeed, we're finding out as we speak, because all those new ERs and urgent care clinics and specialist clinics and birthing centers, they did not need CONs, so they got built. And they got built by people who risked capital to do it. And it seems to be working out. I know I'm not going to any hospital's ER if something happens to me, and neither is anyone in my family -- we know the score on pricing and billing.

So the free market has found a way around the protectionist regulation of hospital construction. Is that even a surprise to anyone?

An upward trajectory set in motion over 8 years ago?

You have no idea what you are talking about. Watch and AirPods were entirely Tim Cook and that’s one of their biggest successes in the history of the company. You don’t think Jobs had significant misfires? The hockey puck mouse, the Cube, the iPhone antenna issue, etc.? People are mad because the thermal properties of their computer are perceived to be less than perfect and somehow Cook is a failure? That’s ridiculous.
I suppose it's possible that I'm a terrible manager, but the actual situation is that the non-remote team members find ways to talk to me face-to-face three or four times a week apiece, and via private chats nearly as often.
It is tough. One of the nice things about the Garmin universe is that they have a foundation of open standards that help with interoperability and forward continuity if parts of that universe close. The FIT file format is open. The ANT+ protocol is open I believe, but devices can also use BLE which is open. If I preserve all of my FIT files, and Strava decided to close down, I could upload them all to Training Peaks or an alternative site. I've already written my own analysis software which didn't require permission from any website for access to my data. My Garmin device gives me access to the FIT files without requiring a cloud service.

> You’re always rolling the dice on an old car

That's why I like certified pre-owned. It's the sweet spot between new and used IMO. Get a car that is just a couple years old (often from a trade or a lease), an extended manufacturer's warrenty, and let the original owner take the major hit on depreciation.
Phones already support wireless charging. Why remove wired charging because you don't use it? It is harder to use a phone while it is on a wireless charger vs use a wired charger.
“Slowing down the phone to save battery life” is happening during 90%+ of your phone’s life, even from day one.

There’s no conspiracy here. This was almost certainly just a well-intentioned part of their power management design that affected the performance of older phones more than anyone in a position of leadership intended or realized.

Bug report comes in: phone shuts down unpredictably when the battery is aged. Engineer see the issue, tweaks some values to make sure the peak power draw is kept in check when voltage drops, closes bug. How anyone who’s ever worked as an engineer in a large organization thinks this was some intentional decision to sell a handful more phones at the cost of upsetting customers is a mystery to me.

Nobody is perfect. Apple is far better than most.

Quite possibly the worst piece of software ever. Hot garbage.
I recently switched from a 2014 edition MBP to a 2017, and the experience has been terrible. I had to make the switch b/c the battery on the 2014 machine was starting to die and my work had an extra 2017 model.

I agree, go back to the 2014 style.
Eating the Sun
People buy trucks because they like them. It's the same as any luxury item. I like guitars for example, don't need them, don't need any more, but I bought one recently. Because I liked it.

The question isn't why do people choose to buy luxury items but why debt is so easily accessible for the purchase. That's much more troubling.
personally, i just drop a f-string in setup.py and that'll filter out any python for which this issue pertains.
>If the 737 MAX had been a new aircraft type, it would not have been a problem.

I think one thing is true: You won't come up with a good project so long as programming is your major life interest. Programming is an enabler, but you must have some passion outside of programming to have the makings of a good project.
It probably depends on the candidate pool, but I've had a few interviews where the candidate can tell they missed the bar, and genuinely just wants advice on how to work on it.

Definitely if they start trying to haggle, or pressure you into something, that's a hard pass, I'll say whatever bullshit it takes to get them out the door. I'm happy to help out the former at the expense of fielding the latter, though I can understand why not everyone is!
Keep in mind that banking is only comfortable if you are traveling at the correct speed.

There are a whole host of reasons why a train may not travel at maximum speed for a given segment, and the rail line still needs to be reasonably comfortable at all of those.
This is really good. A lot of the other replies do talk about how bad managers will take credit for your work, but the good and okay ones will appreciate this and it will work out. Assume your manager is a good human being, or go find one that will reward this kind of behavior.

Being a manager, especially mid level, can be really lonely. Your boss is often not very available, and then you have a team you're trying to help, but with little training on how to do your job (hence the Peter Principle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle).

So with that in mind, having an employee that actually cares about what your perspective, and wants to help where appropriate will be very helpful.

And this all ties back to being good at managing up, which is a really good skill to develop in your career; if you find the right leader it will lead them to taking you with them as they level up in better and better roles.
Good news: the reference software (http://gitlab.com/wg1/jpeg-xl) can decode about 50 Megapixels/s on a single Skylake core, with 3.1-3.7x speedup on 4 cores.

Encoding throughput is configurable from ~1 MP/s to about 50 per core. That's somewhat slower than JPEG, but can be faster with multiple cores.

Yes.

If they choose to take revenue, then that revenue is held in escrow. If they choose to take the video down or demonetize it, then it appears that the video goes back up but is unmonetized during the dispute process.

You could do other things to make expensive cars unattractive. For example, you could make them much more expensive by imposing a sin tax on them. For example, you could impose a 100% tax on every dollar spent on a car purchase above $24k. I'm not saying this is a good idea, but it's one way you could attack this problem without making lending illegal in general.
I can't speak for all "other" languages but Ruby made the change years ago from 1.8 to 1.9. Ruby calls them hashes but they're standard maps. Obviously Ruby and Python are very similar but I think the point stands.

> and my salary is set by the market, not by any single employer

Employers do have a tendency to collude though. The market for labor is very far from perfect. In most places even tech workers don't really get to negotiate much when they get a job offer.

You should also realize that if most companies have open plan offices your range of options reduces quite a lot. What are you gonna do, only work for the 10% of companies that have other office plans?
Oh, wow. There are so many brands out there, from small boutique roasting shops to medium-sized commercial roasters who produce vastly superior product to Starbucks. Nearly any roaster who roasts to order will be better than Starbucks.

I use a local one called Specialty Java because they're decent, less expensive, and the shipping is a low courier fee, or even free for will-call. I can recommend them if you are not used to the 3rd-wave ultra-light roasts. Most of their stuff is medium roast, and nothing is burnt like the majority of Starbucks beans.

So your long term goal is stability, and you'll be reliable and consistent in addition to the talent they've clearly already noticed by bringing you in for an interview. From a thematic perspective you're a sturdy foundation they can build their company on.

See how much better that sounds? And there are probably better ways of putting it. Granted if an interviewer isn't looking for that mentality it could be an issue, but that's a big sign you probably wouldn't want that job anyway.
Sounds like a solid play, thanks. Is there a similarly graduated prefilled pod option that doesn't require investing in refill gear for something that I'm not trying to make a hobby out of? Failing that, what's a good, simple setup for doing refills?

A bit of a side topic, but when Judge Alsup (himself a descendent of Boole and with a middle name of Haskell, and a programmer to boot) said "It is so ordered" (https://casetext.com/case/oracle-america-inc-v-google-8) in the Oracle Google case, I could only think that's what a computer scientist would say when quicksort was done.
The Android development experience is a piece of garbage, but that's not Khronos's fault necessarily.

MetalKit is a higher-level scene graph toolkit. I don't really think it's appropriate for Khronos to specify a higher-level scene graph (remember VRML? OpenInventor?). DirectXTK is not that either, DirectXTK is effectively a bunch of helper-ish math stuff.

If you want a higher-level scene graph toolkit, there are plenty to choose from.

Firefox is even worse on DOM microbenchmarks and in many others. It really only shines in WASM performance. [1]

It's unlikely that you will notice the difference anyway, few websites manipulate that many DOM elements at interactive rates. Those would be much better off with Canvas, which is also way slower on Firefox.

Your concern makes sense if it's all they do. Status updates and talking about your managers needs would be a crappy 1 on 1 if that was every time. It's supposed to be the employee's meeting.

However, if you mix up what you talk about a lot, then spending some of it on managing up would be pretty smart, just like you likely only talk about their long term career sometimes.

I saw this in Perl a long time ago but it could just as easily have happened in Python. The dict (Perl hash) was a set of mappings for template replacement of "from" strings to "to" strings.

"FOO" => "bar" # Replace FOO with bar

The author had considered the case where one key (FOO) might be a left-substring of another (FOOBAR), and so reversed the output from keys() before iterating over the hash. This ensured that FOOBAR, which sorts later, would be substituted before FOO (else FOOBAR -> barBAR, oops).

Unfortunately, despite empirical evidence to the contrary at the time, keys() does not guarantee sort-order results https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/keys.html

This worked for a while (appeared to work?) and but was subsequently caught by another developer, who added a sort().

(Get a templating library alreay yeesh).

Incidentally Ruby made the transition to sorted Hash some years ago (1.9 maybe?) and I don't remember any great fall-out.
As the case in the article shows, this hurts the resale value of the car. If I spend $10-12k on software upgrades for a vehicle, and can't recover any of that money upon resale, I would call that a material distinction.
