Alternative to Individual Contributer Programming Jobs
What are some good alternatives to individual contributer, programing jobs that relatively has a similar pay range. Should involve a lateral move where you have no experience yet into that specific position.

Examples:

* Technical Product Manager $xxx / What is the probability for hire without previous role in product management, what exp is needed.
* Engineering Manager $xxx / ...
* Data Engineer $xxx / ...
* Program Manager / ...
* UI Designer / ...
If you consider the employers as customers of the employees' services, then they do pay differently depending on the location of the employees. That's a tautology, though, so not much insight there.
A few items from the release notes that caught my attention:

* The debug information now has a feature which lets your debugger recover the value of an optimized-out value in certain (common) circumstances. I wish gdb and lldb pick on up this quickly and that it doesn't need you to specify anything explicitly.

* If you're doing JITing with LLVM, you can now run your code's static initializations (which apparently you couldn't before? :-O )

* Lots of RISC-V-related work (features, optimization improvements and bug fixes).

* Nothing new for PTX (the CUDA IR which you can use LLVM to generate).
By that same argument, using a sarcastic tone of voice neuters sarcasm completely.
Thank you! Everyone I see saying "But what about Sweden" really means "let's do nothing". They skate over everything else that Sweden does - unemployment insurance, universal healthcare, and better compliance with the restrictions they do have.

I completely agree, but it is worth pointing out that even "the desktop" looks different from how it did when the phrase originated, to say nothing of the digital tools and spaces that are not desktops.

As a daily user of Linux desktops for over a decade (and known to be stick-in-the-mud about my desktop experience), even I have awoken to some shifts in my perspective and expectations, but only in an after-the-fact manner.
> In your terms, Facebook might be a mere conduit of speech, but there is nothing that says it has to a perfect/unfiltered conduit.

There is the provision that a common carrier must not discriminate[1]. In return, the common carrier is absolved of certain liabilities.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_carrier

I'm not saying Facebook is (or should be) considered a common carrier, I'm saying Facebook shouldn't get to have it both ways, as it currently does. The law hasn't quite caught up here yet.
1. MS don't see Linux as a threat in the desktop.

2. MS lost the battle everywhere else.
What is the standard of proof here? I'd that the standard seven day creation story is about as outlandish as the narrative that the holocaust is a big hoax.

Is it technically possible to explain away all the evidence with sufficient effort? I suppose. But occams razor tells us that yes, the holocaust happened, and no, three days did not pass before the sun was created.

My point is that we generally don't expect mathematics-like incontrovertible proof to establish historical fact, and it's unfair to demand it to disprove religion. More broadly, Facebook now has to figure out what the standard of proof is for their platform.

Modern law enforcement universally has access to those things. But in most countries (and many areas of the US) they're limited to specific, organizationally disjoint departments which are specifically trained to use such force. That's different than what's happening here.
I am having trouble following your thoughts on reasons.

> They buy a phone because it has a higher resolution screen and then run it in low-res because that's the default and they don't know the difference.

...neither do I. I have a generic Pixel 4a, $350 off the shelf phone, works great (really - it's nice). I've scoured for this setting, where is it located? I can't find a setting to change screen resolution available on my device, or even if it's possible. It looks great though just the way it is out of the box, I don't know the difference either.

> Kids in California fail AP tests because they don't know what a file format is and try to submit HEIC images to a web form that only takes JPEG and PNG

Apple dealt them this card - you're blaming people for not knowing that a single vendor has introduced a new (image) format by default which really, nobody else is dealing with (I guess?) the way Apple folks are; is it fair to lay this blame on the kid, or does it really belong to Apple trying to push a standard before it was globally (widespread, 80% of the web) adopted? PNG took years to get into tooling, if you recall - it just didn't poof appear, there were many years where JPG and GIF were the only upload formats - in 2020 you're now taking PNG for granted. :) Some day HEIC might be there.
The issue is not that people can't listen to holocaust denialism or general nazi apologia. Issue is they do and then take action based on that and other people then suffer consequences. Including violent action.

Also, given that Heinlein fiction can be also quoted literally in defense of military dictatorship, it is not like random quote of him was any argument on this topic.

Or any other old big name. The whole "I cut good sounding quote of someone famous or of context" thing is not an argument.
I'm a product owner. I'm one of those people whose entire job is interacting with people. I do have about 3 hours of scheduled calls every week. The other 37 hours are mostly written communications via email, slack, Aha, Jira, Confluence, Zeplin, comment threads in Office docs... and probably other tools I'm forgetting. And of course, a few hours each week of ad-hoc calls as questions come up.

I admit, it took me months to break down exactly which conversations truly need to happen each week, and the smallest groups that still made them effective. But it is quite possible.
It's Facebook who serves the content because of their money driven algorithms. If you would just serve content coming from your friends and some random ads, then all this bullshit content won't be a problem at all.
Facebook is the only problem here. Not the people behind these fake stories.
A lot of people are pointing out that this article is satirical in nature. English is not my first language. Even though I don't have any issues in reading English books, I was not able to see the "satirical" aspects. Up until now, I've generally been able to distinguish between satire / sarcasm / irony etc.

If anyone can shed some light on how to "see" the satirical aspects, I'd be really grateful. :)
AFAIK all the RIRs eventually decided to allow IP trading so no more precedents are needed.
Oh yea I absolutely need these training wheels. I am fully aware that if all of the restaurants, bars, or other activities that I love going to were open and operating that I probably wouldn't be able to resist going "just this once".

The issue is not people's common sense or desire to not hurt others. The nature of this issue doesn't lend itself to being stopped just through common sense - you can transmit this disease for days without realizing it. Common sense says don't play with fire. It doesn't say maybe you shouldn't go see grandma after the pumpkin patch for 7 days.
> On the other hand, maybe the endowment will allow them to hire a competent staff...

Does that ever really happen? If they are competent enough to know they need a better staff that's one thing, but if they are already incompetent they will just blow through the endowment with nothing to show for it.
I'm American so any questions about health insurance automatically are predisposed towards absurdity. But yeah, I do. I don't want to be stuck in a hospital with a multi thousand dollar medical bill for an emergency. The worst that would happen without me owning a car is needing to rent one on a moment's notice. Maybe there's the odd moment when I would need a car for a city-wide evacuation? Seems like that's such an exceptional case that I would not spend my money maintaining a car just to be prepared for it.
That's what a bug tracker is for, stories, specs, and lengthy discussion. Commit message can then be "FOO-1234, add tests." Modern tools auto link those.
Reality is rarely that clear-cut. E.g., imagine an airplane.

If the goal is maximum range, we should get rid of first-class seats, life vests, and all sort of useless amenities. (Do we really need four lavatories?)

If the goal is maximum comfort, we should get rid of all economy seats. No more affordable plane tickets.

If the goal is maximum speed, we should retire our fleet and re-introduce supersonic flights. Those suckers living under a frequent flight path can use earplugs.

If the goal is maximum safety...

What I'm saying is: every time we say "our goal is X", it implies an additional condition "assuming other things stay reasonable." Of course, something like COVID is not within anyone's living memory, so it's hard to build a consensus on what's reasonable - but we can't just short-circuit it by saying "Just say what you want and stick to it!"
I'm not sure where you're coming from. Economics does indeed produce models that are predictive.
That's not what bricking means. Bricking means -permanent- disablement.
IPv6's has a fixed subnet size of 64-bits[1]. A router needs its own subnet, ergo everyone gets their own 64-bit address range. ISPs cannot give each customer a single IPv6 address because that would require each customer to have a single device connected directly to their router with no router in the CPE - basically like how dial-up used to work. There's no demand for a service like that.

[1] See https://www.ripe.net/about-us/press-centre/understanding-ip-... . I note that there is a lot of misinformation and badly-informed blog posts in the top search results for "ipv6 subnet size" like this one, ugh: https://www.crucial.com.au/blog/2011/04/15/ipv6-subnet-cheat... - which is wrong because IPv6 simply doesn't have 128-bit-sized subnet option (whereas you can have a 32-bit sized subnet in IPv4, which is how most residential ISPs/CPEs are configured).
It definitely existed before people paid for it so you can take that as a given :)
"stating..." - agreed. "promoting..." - agreed.

Upthread the guy said "Tolerance means putting up with things with which you disagree". He's arguing for no restrictions AFAICT. Hence my post, to which no answer was forthcoming from him.
In that case, the wikipedia article also gives examples follwing that opinion

>On 20 September 2016, a blogger named Tarak Biswas was arrested for criticising Islam under Section 295A and 298, besides 66, 67 and 67A of the IT Act after a complaint about hurting religious sentiments was lodged by Sanaullah Khan, a Trinamool Congress leader.[39]

On 25 February 2018, two people were arrested for allegedly making derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath, and Hindu gods. Four people were booked under section 295-A.[40]

Contrary to what you seem to believe a single decision in 2014 has shockingly enough not upended India's entire framework on legislating hate speech, that is not how the law works.
The simplest explanation that adequately explains the observation tends to be correct. There's really no need for any conspiracy here, support for "law and order" has been a winning political strategy for decades. Meanwhile, getting the department of defense to increase the number of MRAPs they order by a fraction of a percent seems like it could be achieved in other, easier ways. It's good to be skeptical, but at some point you need evidence.

While this pandemic will definitely create global shifts and city shifts, it's a bit unfair to look at the losses of service sector jobs and call them permanent.

I'm sure there will be permanent job losses but the majority of major cities are no where close to being 100% reopened, and the public even in open cities hasn't returned to normal life.

If anything what the article highlights is that it is easier to shift your job if you were spending all day on a computer to remote work, and a service level job can't do that.

The V-shaped recovery stopped for service level work and basically shows to watch extent major cities are still "closed".
It’s ridiculous to blame the AP test debacle on the students.

iOS has ~83% marketshare with teens in the US. The fact that AP failed to QA input validation on iOS is an affront to the basic responsibilities of product quality. Submitting an HEIC file would cause the page to time-out with no recourse.

Compounding this is Apple’s decision to abstract file formats to whatever degree possible in iOS. Unless you are an avid tech blog reader or had run into some compatibility issue beforehand, iOS would have never shown you the text “HEIC” anywhere in it’s UI.
While epoll() is a clever interface for handling hundreds of thousands of ongoing connections, it seems badly designed for efficiently coping with hundreds of thousands of short-lived connections.

Every time a new connection is established, you need to make a syscall to add that new FD to the epoll set. Each syscall can only register one FD at a time. If your server is accepting thousands of connections a second, it's very likely that you are going to accept() many new connections on each event loop around epoll_wait(). This leads to lots and lots of syscalls, which although quite fast on Linux, is still not going to be greatly efficient.

Compare to FreeBSD's kqueue/kevent architecture: It's broadly similar to epoll, but you only need to make one syscall per loop: you call kevent() with a changelist of FDs, and it will return a list of all new events across the new + existing FDs in the set.
Are there any benchmarks that show compilation times using LLVM 11 versus older versions for representative projects?
This article seems to be missing some critical information - does this proposed system help with anything but the framing?

Because framing a house, even a two story house, only takes an experienced crew a couple of days. And in the neighborhoods springing up around here, they are using pre-fab framed walls (still using wooden studs (which are cheap and plentiful), but they arrive on site as whole walls).

Before framing, there's site prep, foundation pours (probably some early HVAC and plumbing as well), floor joists, and floor sheeting. After framing, there's sheeting (the outside), roofing, putting in windows/doors, waterproofing (can be avoided with some more expensive sheeting options), and siding (which includes caulking the edges of the siding, and around any wall penetration).

Then there's insulating the outer walls, framing the interior walls, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, electrical, carpeting/flooring, drywall, trim, paint, landscaping... and probably a dozen other things I don't know about.

Optimizing only the framing - something that's already been pretty well optimized - isn't going to change prices much. What's really needed is a way to be ship entire finished walls.

(Seriously, look up some videos about "Larry Haun" and watch him and his brother frame an entire floor in under a day, using mostly hand tools).
Trademark law says you can't mislead consumers into thinking your thing is the trademark owner's thing. Malware fits this perfectly. There's no new precedent here, dangerous or otherwise.

There are probably more moving parts in a C++ compiler than the whole lunar landing program. :-)
Can you eg. generate a struct with fields based on an existing struct or on a comptime array in D? Can you receive a structure literal of anonymous type and iterate over it at compile time? (curious bc. these were a few things I found straightforward in Zig, and in C++ the main proposals involve tons of new metaclasses and reflection features for)
Does this trick work on mobile safari where you can disable JS?

Edit - It does! Go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > JavaScript, and turn the toggle to “off”.

I’m sure lots of things you are used to no longer work when you disable JS. I’d recommend making a shortcut!
I read MiniMSFT while they were active in the 00's. The nastiness we saw continued layers down the chain of command. It wasn't just a despot at the wheel, everyone in the bus was singing road trip songs.

I will admit that it says something that Satya was able to survive inside of Microsoft during the worst parts of this, but I don't know if that says more about how amazing Satya is, or that the internal toxicity is over-reported. We all know multiple people who have reported horrible things about Amazon too, and yet there are still people who enjoy working there.

Everyone has their own version of the truth, but once bitten twice shy, and I've lost count of the bite marks. Have your truth, just keep it outside of arm's reach of my nose, thank you.
They'd be laughed out of court in a summary judgment. A patent infringement claim requires, at bare minimum, alleging that a patent has actually been infringed. So you have to actually say what patents you own and are alleging infringement of.

Obviously, Microsoft disclosed what patents they believed were being infringed when they decided to actually take people to court. They decided not to disclose that when negotiating licenses, which is actually legal. Contracts can include non-disclosure agreements that would prohibit you from telling Linus what parts of Linus to change, and you're allowed to vaguely threaten people as a negotiating tactic, as long as there actually exists some underlying infringement which Microsoft could reasonably have believed to have occurred. (Otherwise, it would be extortion.)

Patents are public information, including what patents Microsoft has been issued, so the law would assign device manufacturers the burden of determining which of Microsoft's patents have or have not been infringed by their products. Microsoft is not legally required to do their work for them and tell them what they're infringing. All of the parties involved could have conducted patent reviews of the Linux kernel or AOSP to find and remove the infringing bits Microsoft was suing over. Instead, they decided to individually settle because the engineering and legal resources required to fix Android's apparent patent problem were less than just paying Microsoft for a license.
Seems like it would be hard to reason about. Consistency is great but it means if you order assembled wall panels from a factory, your foundation has to be exact in dimensions and dead level, or it's not going to come together. On-site framers aren't really bothered by this. I think it trades one kind of complexity for another.
I was a bit shocked to discover that Google Wifi actually performed worse than my (7 year old?) Airport Extreme. And it pretty much requires you to login if you want to do anything more than basic setup
Dogma or not, there's always some cost to giving up addresses so nobody would give them up for free. A transfer tax to help pay for the transition would be an interesting idea but I don't know if IANA or the RIRs could plausibly implement that.
So your "evidence" is a single anecdotal account from over a decade ago?

I've heard the saying as "spend good money on what separates you from the ground" - tires, shoes/boots, mattress, etc.

In this sense, it'd be "spend good money on what separates you from the virtual". That is, of course, our I/O devices :)
There seem to be a big element of luck when interviewing and being interviewed to hire the right person. That’s in addition to property evaluating and answering the questions which also lends into luck. That’s why other elements should be way more weighted such as previous work, referrals, recommendations.
> There is no mistake and the people who push this stuff know it.

From my experience, this is not universally true. For Westerners, possibly. But already for immigrants from Islamic countries in Western nations, it falls apart. Many of them aren't like "yeah it happened, and it was great, I will now deny it to remove guilt from Germany and make Germany the victim", because they don't care about Germany's past. They simply don't believe it because that's what they learn from friends and family.

The same applies to most conspiracy people btw. They don't secretly believe that chemtrails aren't a thing and just pretend otherwise to get under your skin, they really believe what they say.
Why not vector size agnostic?
I'm genuinely curious to hear how you might elaborate on this.

The Balmer-scream years were very formative to my outlook on the tech world, graduating high school in 2005. Only recently did I bother to see what MS had been up to in the past 10 years ( was down a different industry rabbit hole ). A colleague told me 3-4 years ago what MS had been working on and it seemed to me like there was a light switch flipped somewhere.

I spent a few minutes searching: Where can someone download an SVG of the logo? A google search for Haiku logo doesn't appear to give me an official source for the logo: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Haiku%20logo

If anyone involved with the project is reading here - as one of the calls is specifically for variations on the Haiku logo, it would probably be a good idea to provide links to SVG versions of the Haiku logo. That'll definitely lower the barrier to entry for folks looking to do you a free art!
Huh? There's a shortage of carpenters so if you can go prefab it is a win. In fact the article shows that if you can build a house faster with prefab at the same cost as a traditional house that's a win.
