I don't get the attraction for a standard crud app either.
Do you happen to know the name of the company? I didn't see one while i've been browsing for it, and it doesn't seem to be iridium themselves

edit: Thanks!
I'm rather attached to things like time zones.
Switch Pro Controllers are a bit spendy, but once you tape mod them to reduce D-pad mishits, they're as good as (first-party, non-counterfeit) Wii Classic Controllers ever were - I always favored those for Super Metroid speedrunning, and happily used their newer counterparts for the same purpose until my arthritis got to the point where it's no longer comfortable to speedrun with any controller. In particular, I've found Switch Pro Controllers to work well with the Raspberry Pi 4's onboard Bluetooth. So that might be a workable option, if you don't mind spending a little more - that said, I've had the older of mine for something like five years now, and it's stood up very nicely so far.
It's just reverse Santa Claus.

Besides, I think of education as a series of increasingly small lies anyway. If you can get the kids to model correct behavior, you're just helping them visualize success. Is it a self delusion to visualize success for yourself? Maybe, but so what?
Great way of presenting the algorithm's performances!
How do we allow government entities in a democracy to flat out lie to the citizens like this? Aren't democracies supposed to be "for the people, by the people, of the people"?
I found it funny they were boycotting in the middle of a pandemic.

I assume some have to cut costs, and some (like Purell) hardly need marketing!
I totally understand and agree that there are a ton of awesome remote companies that were able to do it with mostly async communication.
We built Sidekick for the subset of newly remote teams that actually need to be in the same room to get their jobs done (certain types of cofounders or operations teams). The product itself actively discourages any sort of "watch and listen to employees". All communication is bidirectional -- if I can see you, you can see me.
We're totally in the same boat that we would never want Sidekick to be used as a monitoring tool -- it would go against the DNA of our company.
Dear old iris flower set! Well done
I see your points, but I admittedly have a different perspective.

Sure, no one would force a person to expose themselves to that risk. However, for much of the population, there comes a point where they have to participate in the wider society for necessities, e.g. groceries; obviously, there are a few exceptions to that statement. Sure, they could get their groceries delivered, if they can afford it. But if they can't afford it, then they must participate in order to continue to live. All of this doesn't even begin to touch on essential workers, who are forced to work and may not have an easy time attaining another job.

The freedoms and rights aren't being restricted for the benefit of few; it's for the _safety_ of many.

The example for driving doesn't match here, I feel. One can observe cars driving erratically and do their best to avoid them or one choose to take an alternative mode of transport in order to avoid getting into a car accident. But viral transmission doesn't have any realistic similarity to traffic deaths. One cannot see viral particles in the air as they get transmitted from one person to another. And anyone who comes into contact with that person is at risk from the moment the transmitter contracts the virus until they become immune. Traffic deaths don't work like that.

One cannot choose to not to be a part of society when they are required to participate to be able to live. That ability to live is a right afforded to everyone. Why is someone's right to life worth less than someone's temporarily restricted freedom to do what they want?

Are you comfortable dying for my right to see an improv show? Because I'll tell you right now, I'm sure as hell not comfortable dying for yours.

Is smashing the already transient lives of real people worth the bottom lines of a few restaurants?
How do you handle generics? Go doesn’t have them, right?

C# has an open source compiler (Rosyln) with an API that exposes lot of information, so for advanced needs there is this road too.
I don't think this is an ideal state of affairs, but what's the alternative? Why would a company pay more? Have you ever gone to purchase an item or pay for a service and tried to give more than what was on the price tag or accepted quote? I have once or twice in my life, but it's certainly not a regular occurrence.

I feel like all of this debate is painfully missing the point. The problem is not some content moderation policy, the problem is that social media has changed social conversations from small local interactions into monstrous virtual fight clubs between millions of people simultaneously, and where the most extreme opinions are rewarded with the most attention. Boring level headed opinions used to at least have a chance of rising above the noise. Not anymore.
You want an SUV, and need the extra space. It still drives amazing.

An excellent assessment - Rich, Stu and team clearly must have assessed the option similarly. Congratulations to Cognitect and here's wishing them well.
Most iDRAC type products actually use that same Aspeed ASTxxxx with vendor firmwares. If a server reports "Matrox G200e" as display adapter it's it.
Yeah, I'm familiar with the pyramid/staircase of mastery and the inertia period as it pertains to intrusive thoughts.

I like to learn new things, struggle (within reason), and iterate on my previous attempts or prototypes to build a better product that I can be proud of. I did this when I was building my android apps and loved it.

My problem is that the company sets us up for failure and doesn't even realize it. The business consistently gives us terrible requirements. They can't build a business process map or anything else to describe the processes they follow. They constantly miss big pieces so we end up with systems that are spaghetti code to cover all these things they miss.

The company also views struggling with new tech or roles as a negative. They don't provide any real training either, but I guess the Plural Sight self-learning trend is more of an industry thing. I joined my new team about 4 months ago and worked on a AWS Lambda in Python, Slunk alerts/dashboards, Tableau dashboards, and I have no training in any of it. I had to self-teach AWS (2 certs), Python, Splunk (User cert), and Tableau. The demoralizing part is that little of this seen as valuable. I can't improve my career by "developing" Tableau or Splunk dashboards. I need to have a steady diet of AWS and Python where the requirements are 90% there so I can architect and develop elegant, or at least practical, solutions to an interesting business problem.
I got into trouble with my fourth grade teacher over this. Sent to the principal's office even. Fortunately, the moon was new that day and I was able to take the principal outside and point at it.
Reminds me of Luke and Obi Wan. What the parents are saying is true, from a certain point of view.
The costs of doing business at that scale disgusts the engineer, that's not going to be different in another city. This engineer is likely intelligent and has been at the company for a year so I have no doubt he has considered other opportunities within this company so yes I do think he should quit as soon as he has a plan. Many people in this thread think the asker is somehow unintelligent and a slacker. I'm answering assuming this eng is smart and eager to work but has internal turmoil.

I've found that I typically don't need to know how it works if my use case is common and the library is well documented, but when either of those doesn't hold it can be very helpful to read through the implementation in the source to understand how best to implement. But I think the black box would be less of an issue when interfacing with documented third party libraries, than with internally developed services and libraries, particularly in smaller orgs. Team A 'generated' Service A and Team B needs to integrate it in their 'generated' Service B, it seems that could get messy and would be tough to test or troubleshoot. Possibly an additional AI tool specifically for compatibility and integration could solve that problem.
So what if it's done out of laziness? There's no law that says that a lazy person can't participate in the economy without giving up their laziness. There are jobs out there that are well suited for lazy people. Maybe OP has found one of them.
Welcome to corporate work! There are many factors that heavily if not swamp the technical aspects of the work. If you're not happy you have to make some noise with your boss, transfer, or quit. You're gonna have to take action. Human organizations are too complex to succumb to easy generalizations like all faang companies are like this ... That's no help to you or anyone else.
This post is jumping the GPT-3 gun a bit. The current demos are more proof-of-concept and don't imply that engineers would be replaced regardless.
You mean a bad peace like 1939?
It's very slightly worse since it sits higher up and is heavier. But it's not like it's bad. And most people aren't buying the car to take it on a track. The larger size and higher seating position likely greatly outweigh any hit to performance for most people.
Compared to the Model 3, this has:

- one extra inch of ground clearance
- hatchback instead of trunk
- a few more inches of head/leg room

And because of that, it's an "SUV".

This positioning is not at all exclusive to Tesla, but it's still annoying. Call them "CUVs", "crossovers", "lifted, less-practical wagons", whatever.

Ultimately the problem is that Americans all want "SUVs", but most (rightfully so) don't want the downsides of an actual body-on-frame SUV (poor mileage, ride, packaging), or have any need for off-road capability. As a result, our most competitive auto segments are "lifted, less-practical wagon/minivan". Sigh.
I’ve seen people rag on the author Fred L on Twitter for writing click bait negative articles on the company.
That would only help if you are willing to translate all of the libraries the code uses. Otherwise, transforming a call to C's `qsort` to Java's `Arrays.Sort` is unlikely to have the desired effect.
Rather than use Intel CPUs in laptops with an ARM touchbar, maybe they'll use ARM CPUs with Intel in the touchbar.

Then virtualization will just occur in the touchbar using emojis as feedback. ;)
Do you not let your children read fiction books, since they are just filled with lies that the author imagined? Your comment about 'never lying' sounds like you take it to almost a pathological level.
Lol, I love the title: "no-compromise" and "SUV". All SUVs are monuments to compromise.
It may sell but only if you hype it a lot. As an idea this is very low in the scale in terms of originality or functionality.
For the sake of mental health and privacy, I hope this product crashes and burns.
Take a look at Vitis. Xilinx is aware of this problem and are seeking to capture the market of people that want magic programming solutions to speed up existing software. Who knows if it will be successful, but they are trying more than ever to make FPGAs usable without having to know how to make hardware designs and verification.

We totally agree that this would be terrible - any company listening to their employees goes against the mission of the company.
We built Sidekick for the subset of teams that actually want to feel like they're in the same room. They actually want to be on camera so they can turn to their teammates and talk.
I'm not. I was trying to point to the OP that banks aren't as fragile as he think they are. When the very nature of your business, which is handling people's money, is federally insured, you have mitigated a lot of risk.

Yes banks can fail and they can go bankrupt, and if that happens to Nubank then this acquisition goes to hell which makes the Clojure ecosystem weaker. I give that to OP.

But saying that banks are "very very" fragile institutions I think is fundamentally wrong.
The real question is how do we stop it?
Comac aircraft are barely even functional. They're death traps and which is why they're only sold in China to state-owned airline companies.

China has leverage over US companies, but that's not without consequences. China doesn't have leverage over the US though. US would be okay with some US companies losing out in China and using that as a tool to drive it's own companies out of China.
I don't mind sharing about that. Standard Charter has the reputation for being a great Haskell shop and I have been trying for years to up my Haskell skills.

I simply didn't have enough background in Haskell. The interview was fun. The interviewer did his PhD in Haskell and compiler theory.

Around the same time, I applied to Facebook's Haskell group, and I got to interview with Simon Marlow, which was great. He also said that I didn't have enough Haskell experience and suggested that I do more Haskell consulting work, and re-apply in a year.

Anyway, I love coding in Haskell but my skills need improvement.
I disagree with this. I think humans excel at ambiguity (they also excel at getting the intended meaning wrong, of course). Computers on the other hand take instructions literally. You could train them to probabilistically guess what the misspelling means, but whether they'll be better than a human remains to be seen (I personally doubt it but this can be tested).

What irks me about the assertion that "code is text" is that it's false. Code has a textual representation, which some people (not me!) argue is not even the best one; what's clear is that text is just a representation, not the only one and it's not directly code. To have an AI learn to "type" code as a string of words and characters seems obtuse if the goal is to have AI generated software. AI could operate at a different level, why bother with typing characters? It seems to me the wrong level of abstraction, akin to designing a robot hand and driving it with an AI to physically use a keyboard as a way to write code.

People trust the outcome generally, whether they like it or hate it. The folks aren't trusting the inputs.

2020 is not 2016. Polling is suggesting a large shift. That may cause distrust in the outcome itself if the outcome doesn't align to polling due to voter suppression efforts and other possible issues.
Wait, you think a social media company should be in the business of regulating what politicians or people can say about politics? The damning thing is that people believe a corporation should be in charge of deciding acceptable parameters for speech. Some part of this article is spin. You can take a Trump tweet and spin it in a really horrific way if you like. Is Trump calling for laws to be enforced against property destruction and violent rioters? Or is Trump calling for violence against peaceful protesters? It's a matter of perspective and therein lies the rub. You want censors to wade into these grey areas and declare one perspective to be the one true viewpoint. The real world does not work this way, and what I'm surprised at is the lack of recognition and the overall immaturity at tech companies and perhaps modern society in general that this is the case. Everybody thinks of themselves as the good guys. That is part of the human condition.

Nice, I had thought about an HDMI capture device but plugged it in, played with it for about 5 minutes trying to tune out the latency(I'm not exactly and ffmpeg pro) and didn't make much head way. I was also using either a pi 2 or 3, so that maybe have been part of the problem too. I'm glad someone actually had the time to see it through and put together a solution. Having one of these would have been super useful the past few days when I was having kernel panics due to a failing root disk on my home server, but I had any spare monitors stored away because I'm in the middle of moving. I'll have to give this a look once I get all settled in again.
What are some good, unbiased reviews of the Model Y? Other than Doug DeMuro(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAXDcTH6hPw), every other YouTube reviewer I've found has some stake in Tesla or is a Tesla/EV fanboy.
To be clear, Eisenstat's concern here is that Facebook isn't exercising enough editorial control over the content it allows. She argues that Facebook ought to remove content which upsets its employees, its advertisers, or the civil rights community.

Yeah, keep hearing about how AI will make programmers obsolete. Good luck teaching an AI how to interpret the product managers' super vague requests and understand the context in one sentence.
you’re right if the person was not working at a FAANG. so what if they’re one of tnt most valuable companies in the world? one way they became so valuable is by vacuuming up all the talent and giving them tedious work to do so they don’t compete with FAANG itself.
Humans are really bad at estimating certain kinds of dangers.

Invisible and slow acting dangers are consistently under-estimated, immediate & physical dangers are recognized easily.

Teaching a very young kid that even if they are warm right now (especially inside, before going outside, or in the sun) that they still need to keep their hat on because they might lose it or not put it on correctly when it becomes cold and cold can kill.

Cold is invisible, it's not immediate. Replacing it with a captivating story about a mythical monster that will come and get you should serve to stay in their mind better & they might even enjoy hearing about it.
"Hey boss, I'd like to move faster on Project X, but there are too many review processes"

That's just the way it is, John.

"Hey, I'd like to change the change review process to streamline it from a catch-all form, to one more appropriate to our workflow"

Sorry John, QA will never sign off.

"Hey, why are we wasting 30% of our team on Project Z? It's a total duplication of work for Project Y, and brings no value to the company - it's the pet of that VP of finance, because he ate dinner with an Azure rep three months ago."

Man, I hear ya, John. What a stupid project. But that VP has the ear of the Board.

"Hey, I'd like to work my way into a design role, to help craft more common-sense engineering and be at the table when we talk about backlog priorities"

Let's put that in your development plan for 2022. We need to knock out Project X.

Zoom and Facebook Portal are still just trying to make meetings marginally better with a dedicated device. We're going after a different niche where teams need to actually feel like they're in the same room with an always-on call.
This very thorough and great feedback. Thank you!
Ya that's why I still agree mostly with OP in this particular case it seems something is off.

I just wanted to explain that with software, a small effort can deliver huge returns. So the idiom of: "Don't work hard, work smart" is in full effect. If you can deliver on the expected business value with less effort on your part it is still a win/win scenario. A business who'd replace you for someone who fills up all 40 hours would not necessarily gain anything, in fact, might lose on ROI. Hours put into software does not translate directly into the output delivered.

And, there's only so much creative juice per week you can deliver on, so that cleverness of solutions you can come up with, and those good ideas you have which don't take very long to implement, but deliver big returns, you can't necessarily just be asked to come up with them twice as often by working more hours either. In fact, sometimes those come by taking a break, a step back, getting more rest, etc.

And maybe since we're on the topic, I've had a fare share of jobs prior, server, construction, military, and yet nothing drains me more than software engineering at the end of the day, even if it was only a 6 hour day. There's something about just thinking all day and discussing heavily all day that is super draining mentally. Where other jobs I've had that were more physically demanding tired me, but in a good way, that almost energized me in my off time. The mental work is hard.
I was looking for the HN comment threads on Newton. :)
Perhaps these kinds of magical ideas that we teach our kids makes them more susceptible to believing various religions/cults are real. That would be a downside.
