Yeah, that's the thing. When I bought it, I was starting down the path to permanent disability if I didn't do something. And, I couldn't afford to be at 1/10 or 1/4 typing speed, because I still needed to produce at work.

The Kinesis would actually have been fine, if I could have figured out how to get the programming-related characters to map properly to my brain. Typing on it was such a WTF experience for me that I couldn't continue, and it turned me off even trying to reprogram it.

But, the Ergo Sculpt was just like "plug it in. Go." The only weirdness I've experienced with it is that some of them work fine with the Macbook Pro, and some of them don't. It seems to have to do with what model the USB transmitter is, but I don't have a big enough sample to know for sure. I was lucky the first one I bought just worked, because otherwise I probably would have sent it back and gotten a different one. I did have to do a return / swap on the second one I ordered (one for home, and one for the office). When either of them die, they will get replaced with something similar, if not the exact model.
Agreed. Any how can they write something like this:

"they had claimed (and lied) that "your manager will be able to see the results of this". First of all, I doubt that was true."
I would say it's probably because many (quieter) people can relate to the stories.

If I understand this correctly, if you 1) did a Triplebyte assessment, and 2) didn't do especially well, it would be possible to figure this out from your profile from the lack of badges.

This seems like the sort of information that people would want to keep private.
Please read this book : the healing power of breath.

As someone who taught yoga and is familiar with overbreathing, they teach a very simple technique and the writers have a lot of experience.

You actually practice for twenty minutes a day at first, and the technique is very simple (so you don’t get lost in all kinds of details) Once you get the right rhythm for your body type you’re good to go.
Honestly, I can forgive the lack of context awareness. That's a hard problem. I have issues even getting consistent responses to the same query over time (even back to back in some cases). Sometimes, Siri will misunderstand me and fail to do the thing, but then I look at the text that's transcribed...and it's correct (I.e. the backend was replying to a different transcription than I saw on the frontend).

I've just been trained to not bother. Unless I'm setting a timer, I just don't try anymore.
Does anyone else feel that editing these manifest files is like filling out tax forms?

I personally can't blame them for getting this wrong if the development tools don't provide adequate feedback.
What are you talking about? The EU runs a current account surplus with the US, and it's a protectorate of the US through NATO. Europe is absolutely delusional and ungrateful.

And, again, you care enough to complain on the internet about something that may not even be a problem, but not enough to do anything about it for anyone else, or even to find out if there's anything wrong in the first place. And, you would rather complain than simply ask what's going to be displayed. Your virtue signaling earns you no points here, not that I think it matters to you.
>But the amount of companies that would give a brand new MBP to a newcomer are in the single digit percentages.

What, for developers? Usually tech companies emphasize that they'll get you the kind of tools that you want. I personally got a brand new 15-inch MacBook Pro after I joined my current workplace right out of school.
I know at some point there was a penalty attached to articles that had more comments than upvotes.

This struck me as incredibly unnatural, since I frequently comment and very rarely upvote an article. I don't really see what the one metric has to do with the other.

But apparently everyone else has a different model of HN in mind.
The insurance company I worked at operated on a similar principle. It was well known that older customers brought in a huge amount of profit because they tended not to claim, nor do they care about getting the best deal. So while younger customers were targeted with new deals and features, the older customers were left alone and would stay on "legacy" policies for decades sometimes.

Interestingly at some point they modelled what would happen if the premiums of the older customers was increased and they reckoned they could charge some customers double and they still wouldn't switch. This could have been used to offset price cuts for younger customers and generate much more profit overall, but it was decided to be unethical so they didn't follow the model.
I wonder what kind of negative feedback employees would have in a company where this person was the CEO. Judging by the tone and entitlement of the author I assume they think there wouldn’t be any.
If developers weren't willing to do it in two years then another eleven won't make any difference.

In a startup you want to actively screen for candidates like this. Someone who idolizes technological "purity" above all else and looks down on business will never be happy at a startup that needs to get shit done quickly. It's a lose-lose situation. They'll eventually grow resentful and quit, or you'll have to manage them out. Better to avoid the whole thing in the first place, no matter how great a programmer they are otherwise.
This still seems ancillary, though.

They're measuring how much work they're getting done based around approximate predicted complexity / work amount using story points and then using that to map overall work output and charting it from between non-WFH and WFH. If the projects they're working on have tended to remain of similar complexity with people that tend to be consistent, then this seems like a perfectly fine metric for exactly what they're trying to discuss: the relative output from WFH and non-WFH.
Sounds interesting, what language is best positioned for GPGPU's?
I hardly miss the Retina display. The 1080p display with 125% scaling is good enough. It’s not spectacular but fine for a laptop.

The trackpad I didn’t like on the MacBook either. I found it made my finger tips sore after a few hours. I’m using the TrackPoint on the T470 and have the touchpad disabled
The type of corporate-heavy experience the author described is less "directionless" and more draconian. It's just flat boring and borderline useless. You sit through it because you need the paycheck.
The difference between what you are doing here and the other public profiles you mention is consent.

When a user creates a profile on Stack Overflow or Hacker News, they are consenting to share whatever data they give on that particular platform.

When a user created a profile on Triplebyte, up until now, they were consenting to that data being used in a private profile for the purpose of connecting them with job opportunities, privately. Now, you've emailed all of your users on a Friday evening to say "by the way, if you don't opt-out in the next week, we will take this data that you gave to us under the assumption that it would be private, and make it public (and potentially searchable)."

By saying "we'll do it unless you say no", you are not getting consent.

If you're familiar with the tea analogy of consent, a la https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQbei5JGiT8, this would be like you saying "well, other users (not necessarily every user, or you, the user in question right now) have had tea (not necessarily the same type of tea) from other platforms. This is just like that. So, if you don't say no to our tea in the next week, we're going to drop the tea on you. We hope you enjoy!"

You are not just "launching public profiles for a product that has not had them in the past", you are launching public profiles and on them you are _sharing data that was given to you under the agreement that it was private_. You are using data that folks gave you in a very, very different way than for the purpose they gave it.

Finally, just to really drive this home, you say "What we've focused on to keep that from harming anyone is what data we include in the profiles."

And, what data is that? What personal data, given under the agreement that it would stay private, won't harm someone if made public?

Full (presumably legal, or at least professional) name, coupled with profile picture (presumably a clear photo of their face) and, I'm guessing, also the locations they said they were looking for a job in? Although, fine, in most cases sharing that data is mainly annoying and trust-breaching, that combination of information can be devastating if leaked. Consider a person who has escaped an abusive ex-partner, and has managed to keep private about what new city they've moved to, now popping up in a Google search for their name that has their picture and the fact that they're looking for a job in Los Angeles. This person probably isn't your core user-base, but stories like this are real, they happen, and if you get enough users, they will be among your real life user stories. You have to consider user stories like this when you are trusted with personal information.

This ain't it.
I think the point of that paragraph is that it’s busywork: just type this magic incantation to do things that some sysadmin could do (and probably should have done) for you in advance, without any real explanation of why or what you’re doing it. She knows what curl is.

The Scheme interpreter only runs when compiling a sandbox. It's compiled into a simple non-Turing-complete bytecode, and that's what's consulted on every syscall. This has been the case since… 10.5 or something. It's always been on the path for BSD code. And Cocoa operations lower to BSD syscalls anyway. There's no system for them to get a "capability" for a directory tree; on the contrary, file descriptors ought to be able to serve as capabilities, but the Sandbox kext stupidly computes the full path for every file that's accessed before matching it against a bunch of regexes. This too has been the case as long as Sandbox has existed.

There is a bunch of new stuff in 10.15, mostly involving binary execs (and I don't understand all of it), but I'm pretty sure it doesn't match what you're describing.
Remote employers right now need to decide whether they want to hire the kinds of people who relocated to the bay area to benefit their careers, because that means they still have to compete with bay area offers. If remote work becomes the norm, at that point bay area offers will no longer be higher (and some of us will leave). Maybe American offers overall will no longer be higher....
Instead of bugs per LOC or anything else, the single biggest metric a CEO needs to watch is employee gripes per work day. Goes up in a particular area - get in there and fix something. It's like metal on metal for a engine operator, CEOs need to listen for that grating sound.

And as such I will defend to the death an employee's right to moan and bitch about working conditions.
> Why do so few software projects ever reach a state that's considered "finished," anyway?

I think this is the cause and its effect in one.

We generally all agree that all software has bugs. We know the march of time and changing of standards means software will need updates to stay relevant - whether making it work on newer systems, following "better" UI trends, handling new file formats, etc.

So you're going to need maintenance.

But your maintenance team will suck if they only touch the code once a year. They'll take forever and add more bugs than they fix. So you keep a team around and you have to give them something to do so they stay on their game. Ergo bloat.

The message you should have received is that this should be opt-in, not opt-out. You're abusing your users' privacy. Screenshots don't change that.
If you compare it to other cars without the hype but a comparable EV range, say a Hyundai ioniq (33k), Chevy bolt (36) or the Nissan leaf (32), the model 3 (40) is in the same range albeit at the high end. It also has the best range of the lot of them.

Maybe you're claiming all the other electric cars like, say, the Buick Velite or the Kia Soul EV have some hype price premium too. I really don't think most non-car people have ever heard of those models though so I doubt they can pump the price based on hype.

To claim it is like a Mitsubishi mirage at 15k is disingenuous.
Some people are just not good with remembering names or faces or some other details. I need weeks to memorise faces and names of a group of people. But if you tell me to setup wifi on some devices with a long alphanumeric password I'll have it in my head by the third time.

The classification model runs offline. I can say this because i had it classify a lot of pics while I was out on a trip with no internet.

But i do think it fetches newer models given the chance.
I always rent through some sort of AAA (automobile club). Almost each country does have a similar organization.

I do mostly rent my cars through ADAC (German AAA) which usually comes with unlimited miles, no excess insurance(s), young driver benefits, free additional driver, ... and a hotline which just 'works':

Hertz once charged a pretty extra on a prepaid rental. One call to ADAC complaining about the extra charge and I had my money back a week later.
AFAIK, Google pays the same in Seattle/Bay Area/NYC. This is why some people at Google transfer to Seattle from NYC and SF.
We make it very clear before the interview that we have service dogs and our office is a dog-friendly environment.

Last time we asked HR/legal about it, they said the service dog had more clearly defined protections, while asking for dogs to be removed isn't considered "reasonable" since the dog is legally allowed to be there while accommodations only needed to be "best effort".

Just a riff here based on my personal experience with anxiety, Ithink once an anxiety attack is happening is not the best of times of doing a practice. While slowing your breath helps for instance, its best to reinforce a pattern of breathing when you are at rest.

This is also why I recommend the book “the healing power of breath” its one of the best books I found on the topic without confusing you with all kinds of techniques and so on.

Basically in the beginning you practice 20 minutes a day in rest, so your bodymind starts to adapt to it, and it may overcome the causality that leads to anxiety.
Just to clarify: I was training with a gym instructor friend and he was assessing my form and we were doing the whole gamut of exercises. We were doing heavy weight training 1-3 times a week (deadlifts, clean+jerk, strict press, amongst others) mixed up with other crossfit style routines (kettle bells, calisthenics, gymnastics, cardio).

Bodyweight stuff is what I mostly do now with some weighted exercises, but I'm keen to get into heavier weights again.
If you're coming from the blockchain scene you really won't get it at first glance. I first started mining Bitcoin in 2010 at $0.50 each, then went heavy into Ethereum from 2014. It took me a few weeks of deep-diving to unlearn a lot of the conditioning imprinted in the blockchain bubble.

Holochain has no mining, no staking, no core token, no fees, no global consensus, no global ledger, it's not a platform, and there's no possibility of a 51% attack.

It's more akin to a P2P protocol/framework/pattern where users store their data and run apps locally, and where each app is its own private distributed network. Underpinning all of that are cryptographic counter-signing events and immutable hash chains.

In addition they have a parallel project called Holo (yeh confusing) that acts as an _optional_ hosting bridge for Holochain apps to offer a simple UX for normal web users. With Holo, developers can pay a distributed network of hosts in HOT (this is the coin you see on exchanges) to serve their happ/dapp like any regular website via Cloudflare DNS. No browser extensions required, nor any need to buy crypto to interact with Holochain apps. HOT for now is an ERC20 but will swap for a Holo mutual credit currency in the near future.

Sidenote: when you grasp mutual credit cryptocurrencies you'll also see all traditional cryptocurrency tokens as nothing more than speculative gambling chips.

This is a pretty good Holochain intro podcast if you're coming from the blockchain scene: https://soundcloud.com/arthurfalls/holo-mixdown

Also checkout HoloREA and REA accounting (resource-event-agent). This is a good podcast on it with some mates of mine; we all worked at ConsenSys with a longer history in Ethereum before coming to the difficult realisation that Ethereum was the perpetuation of everything wrong with the global economy: https://soundcloud.com/user-376287461/holochainpodcast-2-pos...

This happened to me, but I had to laugh when I discovered that the agency's tactics were limited to a few stroppy letters and a couple of phone calls that went:

"Hello sir, this is (collections agency). Can you confirm your address, please?"
"No."
"I'll have to end the call then."
"Okay."

I would feel awful if I caved in and paid money I don't owe just because a company told me to.

That's kinda straw-manning my point :) But to clarify, I wasn't strictly doing heavy weight for each of those days, and yes I could have taken it easier.
FB should pay more to remote workers. Cost of having a worker in an office (even in the tragedy of a city Menlo Park is) is very non-trivial. Now remote work is the new norm, and companies make the worker pay for space, furniture, internet, some equipment, parking, and, in case of FB, food. On top of that worker doesn’t come to the office, and doesn’t consume these valuable resources there. If worker moves out of the Bay Area, or even better, California, FB doesn’t have to pay high local taxes. So FB should give bonus for working from home, not tax it.

I joke with my friends working at Google/FB/MS/Amazon that soon company will make them pay for the office - “want to come the office? Pay the rent yourself”.
Yes, it should be in the title.
Did you read the fine print when signing up? Maybe this goal has been in their fine print for a long time.

In the UK at least, Netflix is often used by fraudsters to check stolen credit card numbers. I bet Netflix were fed up with expense of dealing with all the fraudulent transactions. Or if not the expense, Netflix doesn’t want the negative press that they’re profiting from all these unsuspecting victims.
In most cities where I have been, there is traffic congestion and speeds are usually low, most accidents are fender-benders. It is inconvenient to get into bumps, but not life-threatening.

On highways, at least in the US, the average speed is 65-70mph. You'll see some drivers doing 90 or more regularly. At 90mph, if you are in a compact car, if a truck or SUV hits you, there is a high chance of major injury or death.

You are right there are no cars coming from the other direction, but i've seen cars get bumped from the back, then spin. I've seen cars bumped from the corner by a driver who clearly did not check their blind spot, and the small car spins.

The small car is at a huge disadvantage, especially in the US where there are massive trucks and SUVs all over the highway. There is also bullying by bigger cars/trucks on highways where they expect small cars to get out of the way and/or drive defensively.
That doesn’t stop anyone from doing “real” work. Stop trying to pass your overly nerdy preferences as universal.

I would go with the experimental approach: cover a few glacier mice from the sun and see if they change behavior relative to the others, cover a few from the wind and see if they change behavior, paint a few with heat resistant paint, and so on.

I would think the fact that the employees with service dogs are already there would be the deciding factor. AFAIK, dog allergy and disabilities mitigated by service dogs are on essentially equal legal footing. If you can accommodate both without "undue hardship," you'd be legally required to. But, if you couldn't, that's a more interesting question.
It certainly shows a willingness to not be particularly compliant, which is one of the greatest business (or group) sins.
Ah, sure, that makes more sense. I have to retrain myself to think of "car batteries" as something other than a heavy, plastic box of acid.
Fuck carpets in offices in general though. I've almost slipped on one at our office on several times.
Outside of the "web startup" scene (in first world countries, especially) getting a MBP is rare.

If you know your company is about to go bankrupt in a few months, and they tell you your salary is being halved, and your share options are now worthless, you'd leave right away too.

Management staying on to do a more careful windup of the business and protect assets from theft or other losses is probably money well spent.
