I’m not sure how fascinating it gets beyond the Dewey Decimal system, lol. There’s probably some cool stuff with document preservation and archiving. But so much of library science seems outdated now that most information is on the internet.

What they really need is a better system for internet research, the UIs those systems use last time I worked in a library on a project was terrible.
When I first got prescribed medication for sleep (and other stuff, but it hit two birds with one stone I guess), it fundamentally changed my life. Often people think that the only medications for sleep are either benzos or Z-drugs, but that's not true. There's a particular anti-psychotic that works incredibly well for sleep, and doesn't have any of the long term cognitive side effects of the more traditional sleeping medication.

There are risk to every medication, of course, and anti-psychotics are no exception. But I think people fetishize behavorial treatments instead of medication. My motto: better living through chemistry. Do your own research, figure out what medication you want, try them out, whatever. People are far too risk-adverse around drugs. Some of them have substantial upsides if used properly. Of course there are downsides as well, but that's true for just about everything.

Finding the right treatments for sleep and energy during the day has given me a significant edge over the competition. Drugs aren't just to solve problems, they are to make us better. And we, as a society, need to start embracing that.
"Donglegate" happened at a professional conference. The PlayHaven employee represented his employer. Adria Richards didn't even contact PlayHaven. The article points out PlayHaven implied the PyCon incident wasn't the only reason they decided to fire the employee. Richards was also fired and 10 months later was still unemployed.[1] People in the community criticized how everyone handled the incident. PyCon changed its code of conduct to discourage "public shaming".[2]

"Opalgate" went nowhere. Elia Schito kept his position and still mentions it in his Twitter profile.[3]

What video is this?
I'm often working out of a hotel and my laptop screen is my only screen. I can use the hotel TV but it's painful looking up-down-up-down. I can carry a portable external monitor but that becomes unmanageable when I need to pack light.

I usually prefer 2x scaling on a 4k screen, and then pictures and text are unscaled. I like being able to put a 1080p movie in the upper left corner and a reference webpage below that, then a big text editor to the right and 'work'.
I guess they don't take good advice because the advice isn't good? The author doesn't give any reasons to think otherwise.
Something like the safari failed to draw some elements suddenly. JS reported it is there. Query the size with js do work. Select it with devtool works. The only thing not work is... the element is invisible. Hide and show the element again makes it show correctly. But how do I know whether it is bugged now without guest the browser from user-agent?
One terrible way to switch to Ipv6 faster is to make existing services available only on ipv6.

Or create some cutting edge application that will work only on ipv6

I know ipv4 users like author mentioned will still be able to access them because someone else will plug in. We are stuck with ipv4 for decades, aren't we?

I grew up with evangelical christian teaching (one of the 2 big christian Churches in northern Germany) and as far as I understood in their version nobody goes to hell.
I am odd. On Windows I use 2x scaling on a 4k screen. On Linux I go unscaled and just bump up the text size in editors and GTK/Qt apps.

Hardly willy nilly. It is in accordance with the Keynesian economics school of thought.
It's simply that the Chicago school of thought is getting out of fashion.

Also, debt is currently cheap to get, so for the government not to invest would be rather unrational.
And that is ignoring the downside on the income of a tanking economy.
And half the DNA of all of the siblings and parents of the people that submitted their DNA, a quarter of their grandparents and grandchildren and so on.

I've never worked at a FAANG company but, for when you do reach you do choose to stay are go, can you put a burner email in your profile?

A lot of engineers at startups, like myself, want to work with talent that is skilled enough to get into FAANG bit too bored of the extremely glacial pace these companies work at.

On a more on topic note: I've heard about, and observed, similar behavior from friends of similar companies: doing very minimal work and being surprised at the massive rewards they get.
It's the same with the French, every French person I know is using the number pad a lot when typing on a French layout. The reason being that in the usual top row you have the accented characters and for numbers you have to press shift, so it's easier to use the number pad. As a side note the French keyboard layout is one of the worst to use if you are not French. Typing your password at an Internet cafe can be a real pain.
>"L4, like its predecessor L3 microkernel, was created by German computer scientist Jochen Liedtke as a response to the poor performance of earlier microkernel-based operating systems. Liedtke felt that a system designed from the start for high performance, rather than other goals, could produce a microkernel of practical use. His original implementation in hand-coded Intel i386-specific assembly language code in 1993 sparked intense interest in the computer industry."

[...]

>"Specifying the general idea of a microkernel, Liedtke states:

A concept is tolerated inside the microkernel only if moving it outside the kernel, i.e., permitting competing implementations, would prevent the implementation of the system's required functionality.[3]

In this spirit, the L4 microkernel provides few basic mechanisms: address spaces (abstracting page tables and providing memory protection), threads and scheduling (abstracting execution and providing temporal protection), and inter-process communication (for controlled communication across isolation boundaries)."

I see your point about separation of concerns.

This minesweeper, and the other examples in the comments, seem to capitalize on some hacky aspects of CSS, not features of the CSS spec.

In the real world, I doubt many people rely on CSS for things that JavaScript can do. (but I bet plenty of beginners use JavaScript, when CSS would have been more appropriate, haha)
Do you use it for the numbers, or the navigation keys?
I think the target audience is mostly non-programmers AKA normal people. It's a general-purpose tool hence the feature set.

That's such an incredibly rude and conceited practice.

Not sure about the US but in the early to mid-1990s MTV Europe was playing groups like Nirvana or Soundgarden in heavy rotation, all day, it was glorious. I was telling my SO just yesterday how interesting those times were, when a 13-old kid like I was back then could have a video like "Black Hole Sun" playing in the background on television at 12 in the afternoon while doing homework, just before going to school (we were studying in the afternoon).

Answer: no.

Take a look at the work life of FAANG employees in their APAC and India offices.
Take advantage of the resources available to you and learn as much as you can.

You can do good work at any company, but FAANGs especially will reward you with compensation and opportunities if you stand out.

The article was worth it just for this gem:

'If we were feeling snarky, we could perhaps describe IPv6 as "the String Theory of networking": a decades-long boondoggle that attracts True Believers, gets you flamed intensely if you question the doctrine, and which is notable mainly for how much progress it has held back.'
What would happen if you discussed your concerns with your manager ?
It's possible that your or your team's productivity is actually bad, and in general at the company you are expected to do more, but the team you are on is a puddle of low productivity within the overall org. How would you know if this is the case? There are a few signs.

What degree of tenure do other people on the team have? If old-timers aren't on the team, or worse, if they leave the team for others within the company, they might be seeing writing on the wall that you can't. If this is the case, your future on this team, and likely with this company, might be in jeopardy when the reorganization comes.

Is the team just not important? Are you responsible for maintenance of some cost center that isn't worth high-level executives paying any attention to? If this is the case, your future might also be in jeopardy, but the reorganization might be multiple years away.

Are you just not listening to your manager? It's possible that you are going to be "blindsided" by a PIP due to the lack of output. This might happen if the actual output of your team isn't what you are thinking it is. Maybe the engineers who aren't outputting anything visible to you are actually outputting considerably to other parts of the organization. If this is the case, your future is in jeopardy and you'll find yourself out of the company within a year or so (yes, it actually does take a long time to fire people at FAANG companies).

It could be one of these or something else. Since you have so much extra time, it might behoove you to figure out exactly what the situation is on your team, so you can make the necessary preparations (to change teams, to get a new job before you're laid off or fired, to do whatever you think is best).

But, according to their data very very few restaurants were temporarily closed or permanently closed. The two most impacted cities were 7.9 and 8.2 closures per thousand (so, less than 1%).

I was under the impression restaurants were a sufficiently difficult business that new restaurants failed at a pretty high rate (a quarter withinin a year, half within 3 years, per this source: https://www.restaurantowner.com/public/Restaurant-Failure-Ra...). Given this, I'm not sure this <1% permanent closure rate is that unusual.
> We are stuck with ipv4 for decades, aren't we?

Probably. All the IPv4 only devices being made now aren't going to get IPv6 and they don't have the capacitor plague or junky lead free solder of the early 2000s to kill them. They'll probably live a long life, or at least until 2038.
I've been on three projects at two such companies over the past eight years. I don't recognize this at all.

My hands cover the two sides of my keyboard perfectly. The numpad just breaks that.
I don't think this is necessarily related to working at a FAANG company, but most likely related to working in a large corporation, which has multiple layers of management to slow things down. If you like moving fast and having project ownership, working at a small company/startup is a better idea.

We'll see, but I doubt it.

A user-level emulator is a completely different beast performance wise than a full system emulator. With a user-level emulator the kernel, and possibly even the shared libraries are native code, and the code that needs to be emulated is relatively easy to translate from one architecture to another.

For a full system emulator not only you need to emulate the kernel also, but all the system-levels instructions have to be emulated as well (unlike user space instruction that can be JITed).

Just compare the performance of qemu-system-aarch64 with qemu-aarch64 running on amd64, and you will see a MASSIVE difference in performance. It's very likely rosetta will be more optimised than qemu, but still there is a fundamental problem here.

I'm sure qemu-system-x86_64 will run on aarch64 macs, but I doubt Apple/Parallels/VMware will touch this space.

"I am not happy" - Yes you should quit. Keep in mind this year has been incredibly unusual in terms of productivity.

All the issues you describe are opportunities to have huge impact on a global scale if you decide to solve any of them. But if you truly are disgusted by the state your company then that's not your path. I think you would likely thrive if you set your own path and work in an environment you built. You might need to quit once your creation becomes too successful though to avoid this problem again.
> My downfall must been related to Cloudflare Workers. I used it to create some apps including proxies that modified mainstream news websites. They acted as uBlock + Stylish for locked down computers where I could not install browser extensions. I did not share these with anyone, but I did not secure them with HTTP auth. I didn't think anyone could guess the xyz.abc.workers.dev URLs to access the proxies but automated software must have detected them and flagged them as phishing sites

Strange, Cloudflare has an official worker template to do just that (sans modifications): https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/templates/pages/bu... Sounds like officially endorsed use case to me.

In fact I was thinking about doing the same the other day, but haven't gotten around to it...
"For millennia it was widely assumed that there was no faster way to multiply. Then in 1960, the 23-year-old Russian mathematician Anatoly Karatsuba... found it."

I have a bizarre mental tic wherein I will often read a story like this and then fantasize about going back in time to just before the discovery, and present it myself, in essence stealing it. I'll get quite far along in my daydream before the absurdity collapses the narrative.

Are there others of my kind, here?
If you want something good, it might be a good idea to not choose someone "your investor knows" and would like you to work with, unless those security people are well known. Investors potentially have other investments going on, which you might not know about.
How did you balance the coding and documenting for totally new product when there are rapid iterations?
The article mentions at several point how the "financial repression" will be negative to investors. But what about for the majority of the population that holds little to no financial assets?

Are you expecting a repeat of the financial repression that dominated the decades after World War Two?

Weren't those decades also characterized by unprecedented economic growth and increase in standards of living? Isn't what the author says government will do perfectly defensible from a Keynesian perspective, not to mention from a democratic perspective (why should unelected central bankers have this sort of economic powers over duly elected representatives?)

If it is so easy to acquire this data legally, do you want to point to a business from which one can legally purchase "identity theft data"?
FAANG companies will have smaller teams working on various new/experimental products. Without a large userbase you'll be able to iterate faster. You can try to get transfered to one of those teams; I found it quite rewarding.

You are spot on. For effective team communication, one need a healthy mix of sync (voice/video calls, chat) and async communication (wiki, task management and documents) . That is the whole premise of our apps (https://www.airsend.io). It brings both sync and async tools in one space to minimize context switching. MS Teams is better in that respect (context switching) when compared to Slack. But Teams UI/UX is really confusing and thier forced integration of tools just adds too much complexity.

[^1]: Completely off topic, but I love when there are words that capture a feeling in one language for which there isn't a suitable analogue in another. For non-Thai speakers, this word means burdensome, but depending on context covers the whole span of "inconvenient" to "distressing". In general, though, I find English has more individual words that express an entire concept vs. Thai which has to use compound words to explain its meaning.

Non-stop VC funding and explosive growth usually lead to this. Eventually your managers aspirations get the best of them and they hire middle managers and those people hire program managers and the feedback loop continues. This excludes the "friends" I mean cough cough "colleagues" that get hired into newly created positions of power. Then you have reorgs which is a whole separate issue.

I don't think there is anyway way to stop this cycle, I've seen it play out too many times. The only way to sort of delay it is to ensure the C-levels are lined with at least one technical ex-SE type that'll call out BS when they see it.
I still use gnuplot for publication-quality graphs, when I can’t be arsed to use R.

It’s also still very useful to generate on-the-fly plots to help sifting through large numbers of datasets.

The last steps of my simulations is usually to generate a graph showing critical parameters to make sure it makes sense at a glance. Much easier than eyeballing number tables. Gnuplot is perfect for this: it is very fast and lightweight.
In India, regulation is lax and enforcement is even worse.
