Or one can try to stay away from working at companies where "engagement" in meetings or work is conflated with actual results that one is responsible for delivering? Probably goes against the some of the ethos of the need to drink the local flavor of the koolaid and sing the $COMPANY hymns with ones colleges…

Any browser plugins can easily do this instead of type some code?
I think of memory, and lookups in humans similar to L1/L2 cache, RAM, Network and Disk.

Knowing stuff cold makes you incredibly fast. Doing a lookup of a problem you've solved in a personal project / elsewhere you have the code for is also very quick, but not as much. Having to perform lookups is akin to having to go out to RAM. Having to ask a coworker is slower still. And the slowest is having to learn something entirely from the ground up before you can process what you are seeing.

It all makes a difference to your throughput, and as you say your creativity!
I agree the article isn't well written but I do share some of the author's concerns about the right to free speech vs. the cultural norms of public discourse, private disagreements among friends, friendly debates, etc.

I read the book The Coddling of the American Mind [1] a while back and think I can sum it up with that modern American equate disagreeing with someone opinions as a personal attack and that we need to avoid touchy subject for the sake of tolerance.

Silicon Valley is satire, and meant to make fun of the idea, and even on that standard, they aren't as cramped as the parent comment is referring to.
I don’t usually do this but I decided to check your post history. I don’t know if anyone else posted your blog posts to HN but assuming it’s just you, I counted five posts (excluding the flagged ones) that would have made it to the front page of HN for any meaningful amount of time. Based on this, I would say that you are unlikely to be HN’a top blogger.

And I don’t know how you’d set up your blog with AWS but I don’t see how it could be expensive to host static content there.
5V Pro Micro clones from China used to be $1/ea. That was what people were using when lots of guides and builds were written.
Either browsers have locked things down too tight, or for some other reasons these Vim like plugins are skeletons of their past. And websites are also keen to grab key strokes, e.g. "/" on Github.

Some nice people have kept one alive for Safari as well https://github.com/televator-apps/vimari but there's only so much they can do. It's almost useless.

I tried Vimium-FF (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/vimium-ff) and many other Vim like add-ons in last 2-3 months (after I decided to give Firefox another try after Pocket; and the possibility of ditching MacOS in my personal usage), but no, these plugins are nearly nowhere as useable as they used to be. Page reloads, redirects, weird behaviours at anything I try to do.

Maybe I can spend hours (over days) and have a perfect config file and maybe, just maybe, it will work as intended but then again it might break with next version or next browser update/upgrade.

My most used features were "/" followed by "n" and "shift+n", "t" -> open and "w" -> close tab, "f", "o" -> getting focus in address bar. I think I will rather give up.

Somehow I don't like to tinker anymore in the personal computer usage scenarios and maybe it's people like me who have caused/convinced companies like Apple to close things down and try to make apps and machines simpler (at which they have failed specularly).

I am not sure what he was smoking when he wrote this blog post but he definitely was not thinking straight. Xkcd has hit the nail right on its head. Nobody is obligated to listen to you and agree with your half baked brain farts. It actually hits too close to home today, with this inclusion, BLM, etc. BS. If you suck at what you are doing, I do not care what your skin color is, what your political beliefs are, you deserve to be put out to pasture. Period.

Perfect example of a millennial snowflake, who thinks what he says is important no matter what.
I think all those are great things to have.

leetcode and puzzle-based interviews are indicative of thoughtless interview process that are lacking evidence as to their efficacy. Google used to focus on puzzles so everyone followed. Eventually google thought to look at the efficacy and realized it was poor, so google focused much less on the puzzles and it's taking a long time for folks to catch up. If an organization claims to respect evidence (as most large tech companies do) but have lackluster or nonexistent feedback loops around interviews, that hypocrisy is a red flag.

Take home tests like leetcode show a lack of respect and trust in the engineers, which I consider a bad work environment.

The high pay is usually because the organizations have tons of cash and are rarely indicative of interesting work (or the work is interesting but the product is discarded after completion). Most large, high paying, highly respected software companies have been stagnating for over a decade and sailing through on their monopolies. Then there are ethical considerations. At least that's how I justify avoiding that world. Maybe I'm totally out of touch with reality.

Interesting take. We run Orleans on Kubernetes in production at Microsoft on multiple services. Other services run Orleans on Service Fabric in production - SF is similar to Kubernetes in terms of lifecycle. The project is open source, so things like Helm charts and k8s operators would be welcome contributions.

If this is true regarding the philosophy degree then the student would continue on to the law degree to secure their residency. Regarding the saturated science fields they would then not be considered emerging nor vital.
> Then how did we end up with things like nuclear fusion startups with hundreds of millions of dollars in funding?

By millions upon millions of dollars and man hours spent by governments and universities doing basic research. Markets are very poor at laying the groundwork required for scientific breakthrough, but quite good at leveraging that space to their own advantage, once it exists. This is, in fact, why the US government used to spend so much on basic research, so that its Capitalist economy could advance innovation more quickly.

> We live in the most scientifically innovative period of our history.

You’d have to state your measure for this. Scientific breakthroughs are not advancing at anywhere near the speed of the early 20th century. This may be because we’ve picked off a lot of the easy targets in the fundamental aspects that describe our reality, but would be contrary to this sentiment regardless.

Can someone help me understand what the problem is here? I, like billions of other people, am a heavy Google user: I use gmail, Google search, Google maps, Youtube, etc. I don't pay a cent and the quality of the service is impeccable. Competition is good to benefit the consumer at the cost of the producer. But in this case, I, as the consumer, pay nothing for my services and am happy with the quality of those free services. What is the antitrust trying to achieve? "When you don't pay, the product is you", they say. Ok, fine, so maybe the "true" consumer is the advertisers. Is the antitrust here designed to benefit the advertisers? Who is Congress trying to help here? Are they simply punishing success for the sake of punishing success?

Your right to free speech doesn't necessarily mean that I have to listen to you.

That time is costing me money as a media broadcaster. If your half baked ideas is going to cause me a drop in audience following, hence advertising revenue, you can go find yourself another sympathetic ear. It ain't here. Second and fourth squares are saying exactly this and I could not agree with it any more. One of the best Xkcd strips. Good thing it was hashed out. I have forgotten about it.

Dragon speech recognition (Professional Individual v15) works way faster and far more accurately than I ever thought it would. Keyboard typing actually involves more backspacing over mistakes than Dragon does. Dragon makes 120-200+ wpm effortless whereas 100+ wpm on keyboard requires concentration and is fatiguing. Dragon alas only runs on Windows but it works great inside a VirtualBox VM on Linux and Mac. (The VM setup is a major time commitment though.)

I wish we targeted rich people with a lot more of things like these.

Convince them clean air is more important for their health than the next Mediterranean carnivore diet and we might start getting the tech we need.

They quickly get followed by the middle class pretending to be rich, then it becomes mass produced and available to the poor.

I think the privacy aspects of automation would also be what the rich value. A servant who isn't around to clean your dishes is one less gossip.

Does anyone know of a program for mac which allows you to type using Vim input?

Of course it's probably too hard to make it compatible with all the different types of text boxes, so I'm envisioning a shortcut that you can press, which brings up a small editing window, where you can use vim commands, and then you can copy and paste into whatever text field you want.
I also have an additional configuration that makes pressing C hover over the link instead, which helps with some hoverstate menus but not all.
When you think about the logic of what you said, it is pretty silly.

Without ECC RAM, how would you know that you had a single bit flip? How would you know that you needed ECC RAM?

> hardcore blues fans have sort of lamented the dying off of the greats for a long time.

i'd wager that's because hardcore blues fans are mostly of a certain age too, like the GP here, and can only focus clearly on the death of people they discovered in their late teens and early 20s.

you're right about the "guitar hero" thing, but for me personally, i just can't care about that. i'm into the music, not the personality. i don't sell guitars, so i don't have to care if the undoubtedly talented mayer isn't causing sales to rise.

Then it needs to be better aware of what kind of syntax is allowed in CSS, because </math> clearly isn't valid CSS.

Sanitizing HTML isn't just about removing unwanted tags and attributes. Assuming you want to preserve some styling, the sanitizer needs to be aware of the spec for not only HTML but also CSS, JS, SVG, and whatnot. It must ensure that it never emits output that would be invalid in any of those contexts. (JS is easy because you normally just delete it.)

To date, I haven't seen any HTML sanitizer that's as serious about enforcing spec as HTMLPurifier. It strips out everything that isn't in a whitelist and guarantees that the output is syntactically valid. Unfortunately, it's written in PHP, its whitelist is kinda outdated, and nobody seems to want to port it to any other language. But the only alternative is to take dangerous shortcuts.

> Yes, because both you the employee and the company have to make active steps to structure the equity grants in a very specific way to get the favorable tax treatment, and if you screw up or skip a step you can get hit with an unexpected tax bill.

Not offering options because you're employees have to pay income tax on all the value rather than capital gains tax on most of the value is ridiculous.
> Fire extinguishers require regular inspections/refills that, I fear, many home users won’t do.

One of my habits is to put inspection dates for things like fire extinguishers, fire alarm batteries, emergency water, etc. into my calendar.

It's basically a quick check every quarter, with a full-on inspection during spring cleaning. Doesn't take much time, and gives me a lot of peace-of-mind that my emergency stuff is actually going to work when I need it.

On that note, something that I also don't see people doing, is making sure they know how to use their equipment for its intended task. I made it a point to try an extinguisher on a tiny fire in a safe setting, just to make sure I understood how it worked.

Ditto for always taking the stairs down whenever I leave a new hotel room. I get a little more exercise, and if there's a fire, I've already "escaped" once.

- 2 months, blockchain marketplace, front-end

- 2 months, web scraping algorithms

- 2 weeks, cable TV set-top box front-end

And my other work experience is pretty random: 2 months waiter,

2 months xxx video & toy store clerk,

For something like this PHP should be fine. While PHP might not be the best for modern applications, PHP 7 is quite the competent language, and if you're experienced with this stack it's probably your best bet.
