I'm a pretty anxious person, so much so that I've pretty much retired instead of doing anymore technical interviews. I had a discussion with a very anxious, but brilliant software developer a few years back and we came to the conclusion that as long as we don't let our anxiety get too far out of hand it's actually kind of a superpower in the job setting. That's because that niggling anxiety you get in the back of your head as you're coding generally makes you more careful about how you're designing and testing your code. You're more careful about security, safety and correctness. Whenever I get anxious while coding I stop and ask myself if maybe it's a message that I need to listen to - maybe it's trying to tell me to tread carefully because I'm entering an area that's potentially problematic.

People without that niggling sense of anxiety always in the background, the folks who are easily going to ace the programming interview because their anxiety levels are so low, those folks, I theorize, are potentially not going to be so careful. Now you could argue that that's a plus in many situations - a startup that needs to get code out the door right away, for example. But it really depends on the domain. For critical systems in applications like healthcare, avionics or robotic control I think the anxious coder is the one you want.

Companies that completely weed out the anxious programmers, as you imply, will have a different culture with perhaps too much emphasis on risky behavior.

I've caught a big cloud provider not reporting a degraded service, I assume they knew but politics and $ come in and it's easier to just gaslight everyone. I get it, but my frustration is worth loosing a trailing 9.

I think there should be some 3rd party continuously testing APIs. Degraded states are downtime!
Regarding to my question, that means "No", right?

As far as I can see, Mobian is maintained by Matrix.org whom I never heard of before.

The reason I would like to use Debian is that it is maintained by the Debian foundation who have an excellent history of trustworthiness and reliability.

Why can't one install Debian on the PinePhone?
I am not surprise about the findings that people are sleeping later and longer. The lack of stimuli from going to work, engaging face to face with colleagues, and coming home feels a like remote working induced fog.

This feeling reminds me of the Mars500 study where astronauts simulates the trip to Mars and stays in a capsule for 520 days. The study finds that as repetitive routine sets in, the crew's mood worsened, as a result, the crew slept later and longer.

Julia is taking some inroads in climate modelling: "when the coder-climatologists of the Climate Modeling Alliance (CliMA) — a coalition of US-based scientists, engineers and mathematicians — set out to build a model from the ground up, they opted for a language that could handle their needs. They opted for Julia."

I think your experience is likely the most common, but ultimately the "startup ecosystem boosting" effect being discussed really only needs the occasional company to come along and dramatically outperform, creating a couple hundred new startup-minded millionaires who want to invest or create their own companies.
It depends.

Many googlers work on the centralized google3 source tree where the source lives in the cloud and your workstation is mostly a frontend for editing a FUSE view (citc): https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2016/7/204032-why-google-stor... among other documentation gives some details on the process.

Typically that work will be done on a workstation at your desktop. But if you want to work remotely, and you can't access citc from your laptop. So, you'd ssh into your workstation, or use Chrome Remote Desktop (personally, I ssh from a ChromeOS laptop to a glinux workstation with tmux). Others use CRD for a full remote desktop. At that point the dev experience is mostly what like other people experience, except that the source and build and test environments are in the cloud, rather than on your local machine.

That just describes one common case- devs and researchers writing stuff that runs on Google's internal resource management system, borg. There are many other teams, who have their own standards and approaches, which don't use the technology I described abvove. I'm sure there are plenty of devs at Google who actually build directly on their laptop, and commit code to open source repos without ever touching citc, or google3.

For me at least, the dev experience at Google feels like every other dev job I've had: ssh to a LINUX machine, write code, compile it, run tests, send it for review, submit. A lot of people who are C++ server developers and python client developers could drop into the Google environment and quickly be productive.

A lot of this is documented in external talks but it takes a ton of work to assemble all of it.
True. But it's important to remember that, when talking about any specific individual, statistics don't hold any more.

Every person is different from any other and each deserves to be judged individually.

EPYC is typically ~30% slower than a TR. With TR Pro I would be able to do tasks that require >256GB of RAM, so the time saving compared to TR would be infinite. Now please spare me telling me how almost no tasks need that much or a similar prose - be happy that in your case it's sufficient. Thanks!
You’re right, that is a glaring issue and to me it’s indisputable. It cuts all ways though. Targeting the rich alone just isn’t sufficient. I didn’t mean to imply poor people are the only problem at all - just that pleading for moral decisions with the bulk of the earth’s population would be futile.

One of my greatest fears is that I’m right, so I genuinely hope I’m not.
I purchased mine a while ago, but the excitement with Covid resulted in me still waiting ( although it is on the way now ). I am excited. I am not sure it will be a daily driver, but we need something outside current practical duopoly.

Amazon is the king of assessing how much you want to work for the company. The recruiter will place a huge emphasis on nailing their Leadership Principles, and coming up with stories from your work to demonstrate you embody the Principles. They will even tell you that specific interviewers have specific LPs they will probe on, but in the actual interview they ask very veiled questions and you're supposed to know that they're asking about an LP. You're expected to have a story all laid out in the format they expect; it felt very much like a show of how much you're willing to conform to the interview experience they expect, with no interest in actually getting to know you.
This is one convenient lie.

I will just criticize the "pro-nuclear propaganda" bit and ignore the other anti-elite stuff about the engineering schools, after all "What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."

What is called in France ENR (new renewable energies, basically solar and wind power) are backed by gaz companies, and now even French oil companies (Total) have a hand in the game. Areva (Now Oreno i think), the biggest company ever in the nuclear industry recently had a 6 billion turnover (around 2016 i think since this was the time i took interest on this particular subject). For scale, Gazprom, heavily invested in wind turbin in Denmark and Germany, had a 130 Billion turnover around the same time. I did not check Total cause frankly, i'm tired of spending energy against this "argument". Who do you think is putting more money on the table?

Also (because this anti-engineer stuff is frankly broking me), if you don't believe the ASN and the people working there, then you should vote or manifest to replace the ASN and its sisters organisations that are taking care of the electrical network, bridge and tunnels in France. Surely they weren't considered amongst the best in the world for a long time, barely more than 50 years!

And if you think the UNSCEAR rapports (like the one on the effect of Fukushima) are lying, well then don't be picky and choose to reject all scientific products of this corrupt organisation that use the same compilation method, like the IPCC. And if you or your familly have cancer and have to go under radiation, refuse every doctor that wrote on the subject whose paper where used by the UNSCEAR scientist.
If you push "nazi", "sexist" and "racist" aside you should find some room.

Yeah, the biggest problem with Teslas is they don't follow a lot of established conventions in the auto industry. Things like the windshield wiper controls or opening the glove box are not in the standard place. You definitely have to take the time to learn how to use the car.
Keep in mind that the employees in Amazon warehouses are there of their own free will. So, however badly they are treated, Amazon is apparently providing an option to them that's better than any alternative they may have. Surely, that's better than them not having the option to work at Amazon at all.

Are the USB ports on both sides? One of the nice things about the 15" MBP is being able to charge it from either side. Also, having >= 3 ports allows me to keep a yubikey installed semi-permanently and still charge from either side. Nice to see more laptop manufacturers adopting less wide screens.

I'm personally fine with yaml, but specifically k8s yaml config is definitely not concise!

RSUs work because they're typically for already public companies.

At vest, in the US, a percentage of shares are immediately sold to cover taxes.

With illiquid stock - as in a startup - where there's no public market for it, and no one to sell it to, you can't really do that, and you're creating a tax problem for your employees.

The company can pay those taxes on your behalf - but that's expensive when a startup is explicitly paying in stock because they need the cash to grow.

AFAIK they lump everything from "I don't like the color of this AC control knob" to "sudden and unpredictable catastrophic engine failure" into this category.
The first two links miss the idea a bit, I'd say.

I don't often need a web interface to a git repo. I can pull and do everything locally.

What I do use GitHub for is (1) code review and approval process, (2) CICD / actions, (3) releases to push stuff out.

The branch / tag / file browser is a nice addition, but it's not key. Rendering README.md is almost as important, if not more.
There's tons of bluetooth earbuds on Amazon that you'd never hear about but are top ranking sellers in their category. I've bought 5 different pairs over the last 3yrs and they've all been great (I lose them or buy them for other people).

They all sell for $30-60 and are the same quality as Amazons.

It's like how Apple is the #1 phone seller even though there are 5x more Android phones in circulation under 10 different brands.
Additionally, companies doing common pool hiring are worsening the situation even further. One bad interview day or one failure to solve complex riddle means that you're not good for any teams within that company until cool-off time passes which is typically from 6 months to 1 year. The system of cool-off period is equally brutal.
> Can you show me which part of this graph [0] indicates that Germany is opening new coal?

Look up Datteln 4. It's one block of an existing coal plant that opened in 1964 with the other three blocks ceasing operation in 2014 and the new block having opened this year. So it's not in your graph yet but even if it were I doubt it would show up. Not much in the great picture, but still a sad symbol.

Agree with the other parts of your comment.

These surveys are a bit suspect. They tend to fluctuate a lot from year to year which makes little sense because car companies very minorly change their cars from one procution year to another. Major changes to design and construction only come every 5-10 years when a few models are often reintroduced together. Toyota ever ranking below any U.S. brand is almost hilarious but it will probably change on next year's survey. You can use these surveys to get a general idea of who is building more unbreakable cars by looking at them across multiple years.

Tesla though consistently ranks low on these kind of surveys. It's not really a surprise as small design or manufacturing issues take years to work out. There's a reason car companies that are very conservative with change like Toyota often top this list and companies that are pushing new technology into their cars frequently like BMW do not as well.

As an example, around 2000 BMW was one of the first companies to introduce variable valve timing on its whole line of cars. It was new and unsurprisingly VANOS seal failures soon became a frequent issue on higher milage cars. Basically every car has variable valve timing now and it's usually not an issue.

Edit: I use the term unbreakable instead of reliable because the kinds of issues that this survey tracks include things that aren't really about reliability in the traditional sense we think of it. If a company introcudes a particularly flimsy door handle and people are breaking them it comes up in this survey just as much as check engine lights. Minivans for example get docked a lot in surveys like this even though they are often well built because kids are hell on car interiors.
Consider Julia. It has parallel processing built in, and uses MPI under the hood.
I've been commenting as openly as I possibly can on this for years now. The issue isn't that we're hiding the truth (as far as we know what it is) from anyone. The issue is that people's perceptions are so conditioned by their passions that it doesn't matter much what the truth actually is. Many people on both sides of this issue perceive every post they agree with as being flagged and removed, and every post they disagree with as being upvoted to the top every time. That's not an exaggeration. As I said to someone yesterday: if evidence were needed here, they could just look at HN itself.

It's wrong to say this hasn't come up about any other country than China. Before the China wave, there was the Russia wave, and passionate users were saying things like: "YCombinator is in the Kremlin's pocket. Wow. I fully expect this to be downvoted to oblivion. But wow." (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15631095) and "Russian money might be making this very site possible" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15630920). These perceptions were just as wrong, and by just the same mechanism.

What is the error rate of the immune system response currently used, compared to actual immune response? If it is small, then the value of infecting humans directly goes way down. Further, what is the probability that the control group and the vaccine groups will not be exposed naturally and accidentally to Covid19 during the Phase II, Phase III studies? If they are likely to be accidentally exposed, then purposefully exposing them has even less value. Given the current infection rates in the US, this likelihood seems pretty good.

The 277,145 number is meaningless. The vaccine was not known to help in any way 2 months ago. For all we knew at the time, if we had started giving this to people on mass 2 months ago, we would have had 300k deaths from the vaccine by now.

Then, the vaccine is not yet known to be effective. We only have proof that it is safe, but we don't have rigorous control studies showing that it is effective yet (we need the Phase II & III trials for that). Before that, there is only a "hunch" that it will help at all, so taking death numbers for the next few months is also going to be meaningless.

Finally, your "even if the data sped up the research by only one day" calculation is pure sophism. Why not assume that the data could slow down the research? What if one of the patients dies because of complications after being infected, and that affects team morale, slowing down the research? What if one of the researchers accidentally gets sick themselves because of improper handling of the live virus, again slowing down the research?

The final point is: we are already rushing this. There are good reasons we have stopped testing drugs on volunteers, we have a horrible history behind us of the effects, often without much better results (and often much worse results) than current methods. There methods we have for estimating actual immunity based on immune system response have been studied for some time and are considered good. Putting people's lives in danger is needless complication, more likely to slow everything down than to speed it up.
It's also essentially a regular car with a 144v battery and larger starter motor. Otherwise, very conservative.
Honestly a horrible article. From comparing the current state of affairs to Henry Simon's utopian socialism, or asserting that Bill Gates symphatizes with Chinese authoritarianism, or even the term 'hygienic fascism' and Italian blackshirts and "climate crusader Jerry Brown".

Are we looking at the same US here? The US can't even get people to wear masks properly while cases are exploding and riots took place. I'm pretty sure the US is far away from Brave New World technocracy.

What strikes me as oddly 'fascist' if we are going to use that word is this acceptance of death and disease in the name of freedom, as if safety does not matter and mom and pops and the sick and the weak have to be sacrified so the economy can keep going and the youth can enjoy their beachtime. I mean it really betrays a childish worldview to think safety and freedom are polar opposites. Public health is a requirement, not an enemy of freedom. You don't have much freedom if your lungs don't work.
I love how so many are passionate about this subject, always comments into the hundreds.
JD Power has a number of surveys and it is important to understand the context for each.

IQS is the Initial Quality Survey, and it is basically "What defects did new owners notice". Historically, vehicle models with more years of production since model change/update have done better on the IQS Survey, which is why some unexpected cars score higher. Additionally, simpler cars have fewer things to go wrong.

That includes fatalities at Tesla so this should be no surprise.
I asked a family member(who worked in pharma) the same thing, he said if that is the case you still don't need to worry, basically its booster shots 2-3 times a year until its gone throughout the population. What is slightly worrying is what about less advanced countries who can't get this many doses.
Yup if you are willing to explain the algorithm to the candidate and not dock them any "points" (or whatever) for having to explain the algorithm, then this works fine. I have no qualms about having a discussion about an algorithm that's tricky, and seeing how the candidate works through it.

That's not what I see in practice though. Not remembering the whole algorithm at best ends up wasting half of the interview (code the remainder in 20 minutes??), and at worst gets explicit language from the interviewer like "TC couldn't figure out <insert tricky algorithm> and I had to explain the algorithm to them explicitly, WEAK/BORDERLINE on algorithms".

I should also say, I dislike doing any engineer interviews that are purely talk-about-algorithm without any code, because I've interviewed a disturbingly large number of candidates who cannot write about 10 lines of mostly-bug-free code with a single state variable and like one loop, in 30+ minutes.

The argument was "all it takes is a mistake or a madman." Neither cares about the fact that "we all need each other."

If you worked anywhere in tech long enough, you should be aware how much unexpected errors are indeed possible even in "old and tested" workflows.

And some madman is always somewhere where "everybody thought he's so nice."
