Exactly, you don’t need a whole book of techniques (I have been teaching yoga for a decade)

One book I particularly recommend is “the healing power of the breath” , the exercise is very simple, basically just establishing a rhythm that works for your body type, and then you are good to go.

Thats not to say there’s not value into the pranayamas (breathing exercises) of yoga, but for pure efficacy just establishing a good rhythm is actually easy to learn and use.
Thank you very much for this article, that's awesome!
1. https://www.starlink.com/ Finally, truly global and low latency satellite internet.

2. Generative models for video games - https://aidungeon.io/ is barely scratching the surface. Story, art, animation, music, gameplay, it will all be generated by models in the future.

3. New direct drive robotics actuators such as https://www.google.com/search?q=peano-hasel+actuators I think actuators are holding robotics back more than software now. Breakthroughs are needed. No general purpose robot will ever be practical with electric motors and gearboxes.

4. Self-driving cars are still happening, despite delays. I think discounting Tesla's approach is a mistake, but Waymo is still in the lead.

5. NLP is finally starting to work. The potential for automation is huge. Code generation is very exciting as well.

6. I was excited for Rust but I now believe it's too complex. I'm looking for a much simpler language that can still achieve the holy grail of memory safety without GC pauses or refcounting. But I'm not holding my breath. If ML models start writing a large part of our code then the human ergonomics of programming language design will matter less.
They were bought from Ford by private equity which loaded them with extra debt to finance a dividend. They offloaded it via an IPO a year later.
I often have to pause and think "am I agreeing with this because it's correct or because it flatters my own prejudices?". This comment fails that test by a wide margin.
It's also relatively useless as a measurement, so you'd expect the profit motive to drive people away from it.
> Did you know that Apple will soon be using zsh for /bin/sh? Without much regard to how many shell scripts have a #!/bin/sh hashbang and some bashisms in them? You can call those scripts buggy or poorly designed if you want - but they're plentiful and widespread, and will be broken so that Apple can steer clear of GPLv3 code. All so that they can block you from modifying your OS installation. MacOS was a Unix nerd's dream 10 years ago

Yep. Sorry. I’m struggling to connect “Unix nerd” to “thinks /bin/sh and /bin/bash are the same”, especially as that’s very much a Linux distro created problem, and (the clue’s in the name) Linux Is Not UNix.

That's a good point. On rereading it I realize that I got caught up in the part where OP's friends showed up to assist OP in getting started and I was trying to sort how you'd do that without knowing people there already (the situation I'll be in, as I've moved to another state entirely since graduating), but I suppose the onboarding process would hopefully have eventually dropped OP off somewhere on the right track.
> Also, it's 100% compatible with Expo.

What does this mean? I thought Expo was just tooling for React Native.
Command line apps aren't affected by Notarization.

If you're compiling something yourself, the compiler won't put a quarantine bit on it and it will execute fine. Same with homebrew/friends.

Scripts don't need to be signed. There is something else going on here.
> It was almost always triggered by a thought that I couldn’t breathe or I wasn’t getting enough air or that my chest was tight.

> One day, I didn’t feel anxious at all but I noticed that I couldn’t take a full deep breath most of the time.

What you experienced is called hyperventilation. It's when you breathe so much that you have exhaled too much CO2, causing a pH change in your blood. You then responded with fear that led to recurring panic attack (panic disorder).

I am surprised you didn't use the term 'hyperventilation'. Several years ago I had a similar episode, developing chest pain and recurring panic attacks (panic disorder) due to hyperventilation. In the past I also had moderate (to severe) anxiety.

It was debilitating, but I've resolved my issues with techniques learned through therapy. You might be interested in reading: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23279349
That sounds interesting, how do you do it? Which questions do you ask? What shows you that someone is interested in your business?
Low cost energy? Think twice, the population is controlled by this expense mostly! It's a nice utopian dream, scientifically achievable, but politically not viable.
Just saw your edit. My emphasis continues to be on unexpected and short notice, with an added obscure (notice that you missed it too) and opt-out. I should not need to be prepared to jump at a moment’s notice any time someone decides they want to “accelerate [their] mission.” (And I am going to opt out—or, more likely, delete my account altogether—but that doesn’t mean I can’t also complain on the Internet.)
That's my read. At a guess, I'd say she's autistic (, I am to some degree, myself).

Her comments about company culture and politics -- in other posts -- suggest a kind of obliviousness and her sense of "things being right or else" suggest an intolerance to frustration which is peculiarly autistic. There's a comment by a lyft employee also saying as much.

Being aware of it in myself, I have a place to start for resolving these issues without seeming so arrogant/entitled/hostile. I suspect the author does not have the language/insight for that yet. ( I frequently have to stop myself making a 'last stand' on every issue which fails my impossibly strict criteria for Right ).

In this case, the HR dept has created a process for HR people: mostly extroverted who think "fun" is about chasing things around and answering pointless questions. I like to think I'd recognise it for what it is though -- something other people enjoy. I dont think this author is able to see that.

I think she believes her own stress is a perfect guide to the world being wrong, rather than her own limitations.
I can heartily recommend the book “the healing power of breath” , easy technique (adapted from yoga) and no need to think about all sorts of steps, just the breath rhythm you need to “get” It also comes with audio tracks.
How do you provide a safe environment specifically? If someone has a life threatening allergy, even if there has never been a dog in the workplace the pet hair and dander on dog owners clothing is enough to be a serious issue.

The hype around self driving cars is still very much around. I tend to view any debate about full autonomous cars (level 5) as unserious if they work with less than a 15 - 20 year time horizon.
The goalpost moving by people here on HN is quite entertaining to watch. Hydroxychloroquine was just bought in bulk by the UK in case it turns out to be a cure.

If the author didn't want to do the work to learn the ins and outs of the company she's being hired by (and yes, almost every company has a few quirks in their internal systems), why did she even apply?

Did she ask for a non-terrible laptop? Was she rejected? The article doesn't mention this.

Did she _ask_ for a desk? If they're onboarding many people at once, there's always a chance something can get missed.

I think a lack of communication was the main problem here.
Is the author not a team player or tired of the BS? Would you be willing to have a conversation with a team member like this?

If I witnessed your type of response (seemingly defensive) within the first hours/days of starting, I would begin to wonder what kind of change I could impress even if I did take the "approved channels". Ideally, we would pick up on all of this during interviews and go our own ways. It doesn't always work that way though. There is /something/ we have to offer each other.

You put up your defenses, I put up mine. And in a short time you're looking for a new hire, and I'm looking for a new place.
> I'm not a fan of dogs either.

The dog could sense that so he got you.
That's still not behavior that should be tolerated in an office environment. I would expect an office dog to behave to approximately the standard required in the Canine Good Citizen test. My dog would almost pass, but she's not good enough on the leash. I think that would be good enough for an office environment, but I certainly would not let her "play" with someone who thought she was "attacking" them.
I understand from this link that they can look into cloud-uploaded browsing history without warrant, but not into the local history stored on the phone
Not all preferences are reasonable.

I've seen multiple posts by the author of this piece and I wouldn't want to work with that person. I've worked with people who have similar personalities, and it's just not worth it. You can find competent people who are easier to get along with.
This post is actually written in retrospect with bitterness, so I'd avoid reading too much into it: either as red flags on the author or the company. Memories and lived experiences get colored in hindsight by what happened after. For example, there must have definitely been positives that attracted the author to the company, but they are diminished in memory, crowded out by bitterness.
Maybe this is why it makes financially sense to automatically cancel forgotten accounts at some point.

You would avoid some of the support costs, some chargeback costs and cost with negative publicity (people complaining about ”fraudulent” charges on social media).

On large enough scale you can likely do some calculations and eventually A/B testing to figure out what does this mean financially.
"Expo compatible: no need to eject to enjoy this component!"
By your definition the subjective experience says nothing about how a heart actually works.

Except that not quite true, the subjective experience tells you there are pulses which increase in frequency under stress etc. It’s just the surgeon understands what that means where subjective experience is less useful. Further, the subjective experience fails to separate the causes of a fast heart rate with the response of a fast heart rate.

This should suggest that the experience of consciousness is of minimal value when trying to understand it.
> Sorry, but there's no typical immigrant story.

Yes there is. It's the immigrant story shared by the vast majority of immigrants.

Musk's "african" "immigrant" story is atypical. Just lik Rupert Murdoch "harrowing" and "difficult" journey to become an american citizen.

Good god.

> The world is a diverse place and everyone has their own stories or experiences.

Sure. But within that is a typical and atypical story. When you say "african immigrant", nobody thinks elon musk for a good reason.
They could do that, yes. They could also open an account automatically in your name and then sue you over it. I expect both would be equally successful.
As someone who has been teaching yoga for a decade, the only thing there is to “get” is finding the right rhythm for your body type (aka your lung capacity)

I can heartily recommend the book “the healing power of breath” , easy technique (adapted from yoga) and no need to think about all sorts of steps, just the breath rhythm you need to “get” It also comes with audio tracks.
Precisely the issue! They probably intended to add host (and perhaps path) to filter for a specific website, but didn't finish the job for some reason.
God, this shit makes me laugh. Why are they doing this.

But from Edit2: Your hash is some sort of base64

let str =

"ME4wTKADAgEAMEUwQzBBMAkGBSsOAwIaBQAEFDOB0e_baLCFIU0u76+MSmlkPCpsBBRXF+2iz9x8mKEQ4Py+hy0s8uMXVAIIfYbtkeEKZsI="

Then we see weird random gaps in the alphabet used, not so weird, because not every character will be used in every string:

Prelude Data.List> map head $ group $ sort $ str
"+0246789=ABCDEFGIKLMOPQRSTUVXYZ_abefghiklmpstuwxyz"

If we fill these up then:

Prelude Data.List> let xs = "+0123456789=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
Prelude Data.List> length xs
65

So base64 with some non standard symbols. I don't know what standard base64 is supposed to look to be honest, so perhaps it is standard base64. The = is definitely padding.
I agree. Maybe they handed out desks in the onboarding process. At least talk to someone about it instead of punishing yourself by sitting and whining to yourself.
Yeah I think the real problem here is that either the company was screwing up by putting very senior devs who don't need hand holding in with the noobs, or OP has a higher opinion of herself than warranted. Probably the former given how much of her stuff I've seen on here.

So yeah you would have been good. Probably worth keeping the lesson in mind though of if you're stuck between doing something the standard company way or listening to some grey beard saying "hey kid, do this instead", probably stick to the company way. It has built in training wheels the grey beard either just doesn't need or considers a hinderance.
I tried just blocking "api.apple-cloudkit.com" with /etc/hosts. This reduces the delay but doesn't eliminate it. A connection attempt is still made every time. (I don't recommend making this change permanent. Just give your terminal app the "Developers Tools" permission instead)

After blocking that domain I can see that tccd and syspolicyd are logging some error messages to the console related to the failed connection. I don't recommend blocking because my guess is that'll put syspolicyd/tccd in some unexpected state and they'll repeatedly keep trying to make requests.

Try this for watching security related console log messages:

sudo log stream --debug --info --predicate "processImagePath contains 'tccd' OR processImagePath contains 'syspolicyd' OR processImagePath Contains[c] 'taskgated' OR processImagePath contains 'trustd' OR eventMessage Contains[c] 'malware' OR senderImagePath Contains[c] 'security' "

syspolicyd explicitly logs when it makes the network request.

syspolicyd: cloudkit record fetch: https://api.apple-cloudkit.com/database/1/com.apple.gk.ticket-delivery/production/public/records/lookup, 2/2/23de35......

I am very glad that I sent you all a rude message requesting my account deletion a few years ago, this is an awful response to a huge issue. Good luck with the recruiting business when no one trusts you!
I was stoked when we moved to Duo at work - no more having to type in an 8 digit code off my phone, just tap "accept" on the push notification on my phone or watch and I'm in.

It's such a great solution to make 2FA as seamless as possible.
How many people opt-out of this kind of culture and become self-employed?

The theory of specialization and collaboration increasing productivity is fine, but look at all of the time lost for this nonsense. Imagine paying the salaries of these disaffected employees as they Svejk their way through the workday.

Think of the overhead for the office space, medical and paid leave for all of these people. I also wonder about the value of those who are compliant and obedient. Not sure that those qualities go hand in hand with innovation and critical thinking.

Solo-entrepreneurship limits the kinds of problems you can solve, but the ones you do select can be low maintenance, passive income situations. After building up a portfolio like this, there is no need to build resumes, learn buzzwords or tolerate the nonsense described in this article. Your surplus of free time can be invested in creating more revenue streams.
Stretches and mobility exercises. Then one has to be aware of bad/good posture when standing/walking/sitting/doing any activities basically: playing guitar or any instrument, typing on keyboard, etc. We learn to do it wrong and then it becomes second nature. I’ll be honest, what helped me most to be aware and able to change the perception of my posture was after smoking a small dose of pot, small enough not to get one high, maybe buzzed is a better word. I think it helps relaxing muscles - and with poor posture some muscles have to more work and are always tense - and then it helps the proprioceptive awareness.

Poor posture can be slowly changed and it is life changing, obviously worth it.

Surprisingly the tongue has some major effect on posture, especially on forward head posture. There are all sorts of tongue exercises that benefit breathing, posture and even the looks. Tongue should be basically resting behind top front teeth and slightly press up the palate. For exercises look up muscular imbalances and see if you identify any on your posture. But all things start at the feet though, if feet have a problem the whole chain up gets affected so pay attention to the whole body.
> I sure hope it's mostly just a persona for her blog, because otherwise why put yourself through such misery?

I don't follow her blog enough to fill in the details, but if I understand correctly this is from a job she hated and left recently-ish due to how bad everything was [1]. So she's not putting up with it, but rather giving retrospectives on a bad couple of years.

Every workplace that I've been at that allowed dogs has done so extremely responsibly.

Every employee was surveyed for allergies. Before bringing dogs in you had to talk with reception and register the dog. Reception would check if there were any employees with allergies before allowing dogs in. The severity of the allergy would determine the proximity dogs could be to the person with the allergy.

A mild allergy that lead to a small stuffy nose and itchy eyes would just be cause to notify the owner of the dog and tell them to keep it out of that person's space as much as possible. I hadn't heard of a potentially lethal dog allergy while I was there, but I imagine that would be grounds for not allowing dogs into that particular building.

So I disagree that it's inherently anti-inclusive. I think it all comes down to how it's administered.
Yeah, I don't really get the part about the Touch Bar MacBook. How is that relevant or how is it a red flag on the company's part? Did she request a MacBook Air or something?
When you join a company you cannot change things that aren’t part of your tasks right away.
You can still do criminal enforcement against individuals working for the company.
It looks like the solution has turned out to be stopping this whole staff at the office madness sooner rather than later, as you observe!
I'm in no position to judge having played none, but I've heard glowing reviews for more than just Alyx but didn't commit any titles to memory since I'm not planning to be an early adopter.

However, some do admit current VR is heavily carried by the novelty of using your hands (much like the Wii's motion controls made many average games enjoyable while it was fresh).
This is probably obvious and not it since they roll and it's not just on antarctica, but did they check that it isn't the entire ice plate under them that's moving?
Doesn't say she uttered anything out loud about what a garbage laptop it is.

But why not? At that point, I'd rather just bring my own hardware. I'd rather have just about anything else, a less powerful Macbook Air, a Thinkpad, a Dell XPS, almost anything. I'll take a wired keyboard ducttaped on top of the Macbook.

Touchbar MacBooks are just one more sign of a bureaucratic company that cannot functionally empower any single person who gives enough of a shit to recognize that a lot of people hate the Touchbar. Nope, just someone signs off, "Yeah whatever get them the expensive one, it must be better."
if I sell you a Volkswagen for the price of a BMW, does it make it luxurious?

Model3 is expensive because it is hype and electrical.

EDIT: your reply is actually making my point (cannot reply anymore so replying here). All the other EV Cars such as the Bolt that nobody would consider luxurious are around the same price.
Hertz had fleets of cars including Honda Fit, Nissan Versa and Toyota Yaris, to be super specific.

The base msrp is about 16k on that class, the tesla 3 is 40k.

That's 2.5 times more expensive. Substantial difference.

I've just been onto their web store and bought a few items as well as some tickets for entry, we're only an hours drive from there and I'm sure my two boys would love to see their exhibits and the tech I used to use as a kid, probably just so they can take the mickey out of how old I am. :)

What a shame. I hadn't used this site and it seemed like it may have been a good resource, but the backlash in this thread combined with the official response to the backlash and the dark patterns implemented in all parts of the process guarantees I'll never make an account.
Yeah, I mean, ok the Buttefly MBP might not be great

But the amount of companies that would give a brand new MBP to a newcomer are in the single digit percentages.

Most likely you're given an (underspecced - at least for the amount of 'corpware/AV/etc' installed on it) corporate Windows notebook, brand new if you're lucky, maybe a hand me down. Oh and maybe you get the admin password or maybe not. And maybe your day starts 30min later because of all the Windows updates.

So no, I'm not complaining about company Macbooks
Facebook could probably layoff half their staff without even the tiniest impact on revenues. The vast majority of engineers in these companies are replaceable. The high salaries are largely due to the competitive market and the FAANG obsession of only hiring the best. While some employees have a high enough profile/reputation that they can demand value based salaries, for the average engineer, the pay is essentially a slight premium over what the next lower tier of candidates would cost.
