100% agree. For a long time I got by with my resume just covering achievements at a high level without any numbers. Every time I asked for resume advice, people suggested adding more numbers to it. Having worked on building up a lot of infrastructure stuff from the ground up, I never really had a great way to describe my job with a handful of numbers because the impact was the creation of the project rather than increasing/decreasing/reducing/whatever metrics. Eventually I caved in to the trend but this led to an interesting encounter: I had one behavioral interview where the interviewer really ripped apart some of the numbers -- what does "growing user base by 50%" mean out of context if you only have 10 users, how accurately can "decreased load time by 75%" actually capture the scope of your work if it's a 5 minute change, etc.? Numbers can be great to tell a story, but it seems like often time that story is either a distraction from the day-to-day reality of a job or just a gamed metric of some kind.

This trend really sucks because there's a definite pressure (at least early in one's career) to pick up tasks at work that look good on a resume but may be low-impact IRL (e.g. rather than adding a new feature that people will pay for, let's just whittle away at latency that's already fast enough for our users).
I work in finance. The “Goldman discount” is well known. People will accept lower comp for that brand on their resume. Otherwise, the places you can really make the most money are at small private firms without public shareholders. There are so many cash machines out there with very little public scrutiny.

He could, though, and you have to trust him not to. I see that as a problem.
Hello from a current TAMSter, ‘21! I indeed made heavy use of these notes for Cal II last semester
Correct, you shouldn't do that. On the other hand, event of simultaneously resizing and writing input is kind of rare, and this will be fixed on next resize/input event, so I wouldn't be too bothered.
Maybe the feeling of being on top of the trendy tech and above the norm .. hubrys in a word.
Well, you're right, Android does offer more extensibility than people give it credit for: If you're okay with its heavyweight development tools you can (for example) write a custom launcher to change some of the UI and you can extend/intercept some system functionality with apps. There's also Termux which offers a Linux shell environment based on the underlying kernel combined with APIs for Android-specific functionality. It's actually quite powerful, you can run scripts or daemons in the background without a problem.

But what I mean is most of the system isn't really open like that. Configuration, application data and stuff like that is mostly managed by the system and you can't access or change that data without major hacks. Termux feels like a second-class citizen because most of the ecosystem isn't built with something like it in mind (in contrast to the "CLI-by-default" experience on other Linux systems). There's also a few (non-embedded) system components like the backup system (which, if I'm not mistaken, is provided by the Google Services Framework) which you can't easily replace.

Of course, when it comes to security this is not something you should give to anyone who doesn't know to protect themselves using it. And I assume it wouldn't be a financial success either, I just guessed this is what people mean when they say they don't like Android because it's too restrictive.
With all due respect your comment history outlines you as a progressive and the first line you have on your profile is "You call it "alt-left", I proudly call it "Antifa".".

Among the many aspects of your faith that I disagree with, one of the most utilised by its followers is its enthusiastic advocacy of false accusations against heretics in the pursuit of attacking them. And so while I don't know anything about qanon or infowars, your bad mouthing them is only lending them credibility; it is also shores up my belief that whatever your implicit definition of "duty of a society to protect its citizens against such efforts" is, I can assure you, we neither need nor want it.

How about GrapheneOS instead? https://grapheneos.org/
I agree with you and a lot of the things people who are responding are saying but the one thing that keeps popping in my head is that Apple who is disrupting in this case isn't exactly the lightweight scrappy contender as put forth in the parables and anecdotes. If the hypothesis is true for Intel why is giant Apple not suffering from the same mercenary middle management / toxic political BS?
>the greater opportunity there is for a manager to take wealth instead of make it

Much like countries and empires. Once growth largely stops being the easiest way to capture wealth "entrepreneurs" start eating away from the inside.
I wonder if it ever had a positive impact on sales. It seemed so overkill, even back then, and today even more so. The idea was nice but imagine the additional costs for hardware development and also for software. Seems so silly nowadays.
That doesn't sound like lower friction to normal people.
It's not temporal interpolation. It's using data from different frame(s) to fill in the current frame. It's not interpolation at all. It's using a different accurate data source to augment another.
Of course they are. That's the reason Google "won" in the first place after all. They had a algorithm which better fit what people expected.
> Using abstraction to manage complexity is fine. Obfuscation of complexity is not.

The post pushes these words around without giving any indication as to how to actually do anything. Seems like an example of moving definitions around.

The important thing when dealing with complexity is to decompose it into simpler parts that combine neatly. This is one meaning of 'good abstraction'. I don't like the word abstraction, as I also don't like the word refactor--they almost explicitly sound like arbitrary collecting/moving things about.

The word I use is 'factor'. I say I'm factoring the code. Then you have to be able to name which factor a particular piece of code has dealt with. If you can't answer that, you're just moving stuff. And once that's done, it shouldn't immediately need to be redone/refactored.

If something is complex because it has N dimensions, then try to create N components to deal with each factor as is possible rather than create refactorings that deal with some combinations of dimensions that follow chronological developments rather than structural ones with empty seams.
I mean, this seems pretty harsh. Could I recommend just sharing your own experience and leaving judgment to the reader?

Docker images package the entire environment that an application needs to run, but to do that they contain precompiled software for a specific CPU architecture, so they can't help you jump across architectures. Not even a full VM allows that by itself, for running software for a different architecture you need emulation.
Iphones are so locked down. You can't access the file system. If you plug it into a computer it doesn't appear as a device you can just copy files to. You have to install some garbage software to transfer the files for you. It can't even play webm videos.
You do you doesn't apply here, cause I can't.

In UI, a lack of consistency hurts regardless of whatever preference. Which is why all these toolkits was a mess back in the days. Which is why applications have the ability to follow whatever preference the user set in UI (light, dark, solarized, etc). Ignoring following default choice, a lack of choice for dark mode therefore always hurts dark mode users.

While dark mode during day is perfectly fine, light mode during night does not cut it for me. I usually go for dark mode full brightness in day, and half brightness during night (after sundown).
I mean my microwave has an electronic dial to enter the time which increments by 5 seconds starting at 10 seconds, and a Start/Another 30s more button, so you can set it to any time very quickly. It's the cheapest model that doesn't have the physical mechanical controls.
Agree with most of the points you have made here. Would be super cool if other open-source projects or applications could find a use for SeeLink. I haven't thought much about open sourcing the project yet, but I will definitely keep this option open in the future!
What you are saying boggles my mind.

I grew up right outside of NYC, spent A LOT of time there. I then lived in NYC for about 8 years. I never saw, heard of or experienced what you described. Nor have I ever communicated with anyone that shared a similar experience.

Can you be more specific about what 'neighborhoods' you refer to?
My takeaway from the article was actually matching exactly what you're saying. You understand that investment in the long term should be profitable, but can be negative in the shorter term. And that's exactly why when you're younger you don't need to worry too much about bumps along the way, because you have a longer horizon. When you're older, your horizon is shorter and you have to adjust accordingly.

An additional set of guesses to add on: some individuals are temperamentally better at the extraction than production, prefer it, are more able to exercise deceit, and have less regret or self shame.
>It comes down to an argument of trust - do you trust Apple is acting in your best interests, or do you believe they're a malevolent entity?

No, that's a completely false dichotomy. These are not alternatives at all. I can absolutely trust Apple to act in my best interests in some regards while distrusting them in others.

I do trust Apple to make a good effort to keep malware off my device, a better effort than I could ever hope to make myself. I do trust them not to spy on me to target ads.

But I also know that Apple has a business interest in keeping software off my device that is not malware. I don't trust them to act in my best interest where it conflicts with their best interest.

I also know that their interest in tightly controlling what software goes on my devices creates an opening for authoritarian governments to take control. If and and when end-to-end encryption gets banned, who decides whether or not I can still use Signal? Is it going to be me or is it going to be Apple?

This is definitely not a simple question of trusting Apple or not trusting Apple.
There's been a W3C standard that meets all those requirements for a couple years now: https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn/

Only problem is there aren't any password managers that implement it, so it's not actually practical to use as a primary authentication factor yet.
To reheat a "decent meal"†, you usually need to microwave the components of it separately, since they'll have very different thermal masses. And if you're doing that, each individual component isn't going to take very long. One minute for this (2 presses), two minutes for that (4 presses). The overhead of swapping meal components in/out swamps the button-presses.

Plus, if there's any sauce in any components, you'll need to be stopping the timer every 2.5 minutes to stir it around, lest you get a sauce that starts boiling/burning in some parts while still being frozen/tepid in others.

† As in, "something better than a TV dinner." One of the main reasons (other than cost) that TV dinners generally have such strange/unpleasant/non-complementary side-dishes in them, is the fact that the components of the meal are chosen to all have matching reheat times. (And even then, many still have instructions requiring you take things out half-way to poke holes in plastic etc., to switch some meal-components from being both irradiated themselves while also being steamed by irradiated water, to only being directly irradiated.)
Definition of clickbait [1] (emphasis mine): something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest.

The title of the article matches the content, so, no, it wasn't a clickbait. Also, if the title was really a clickbait, someone would have surely called it out before my gripe about the title change. In fact, 2 others complained about the title change before I posted my top-level comment; those others' complaints and my responses are now buried under the "More" link at the end of this page.

I understand you, @baby, have good intentions, but I take offense to @bzb6's remarks. I guess that's what I get for responding to a recently created account (41 days ago) with no posts and all of whose comments are one-liners; mostly knee-jerk reactions, no insights, and not considering the nuances of the real-world implications.

Let's say I have a data definition that is some length value and then some number of bytes based on the length value. If I want to load up the same definition for another file (something I guess you also don't support) the length will be wrong if I just manually go forward that many bytes. Sorry, this is a really bad explanation.

I'm sure they have it, but it occurs to me that they did go through a near-death experience that might have caused some of the worst baggage to abandon ship, and for a while afterwards they probably knew that it was possible for even a company as big as Apple to go under.

Now that it's been a while, it wouldn't totally shock me if they ended up drifting Intel's way eventually.

You have $100k. Put 80% of it in the stock market. The stock market drops by 40%, your investment is worth $48k and you withdraw nothing but spend your entire emergency fund. The market recovers and now your portfolio is worth $80k.

You have $100k. Put all of it in the stock market. The stock market drops by 40%, your investment is worth $60k and you withdraw $20k.
The market goes back to 100% and now you have $67k in your portfolio.

If the market dropped by 80% your portfolio would be gone entirely. Meanwhile if you had enough emergency funds you would have kept everything.

The worse the emergency, the higher the ROI of the emergency fund. Since there is no upper bound for how bad an emergency can be the theoretical ROI of an emergency fund is also unbounded.

In this comment the definition of an emergency is a stock market drop combined with unexpected unemployment.

>Ambitious students seek out prestige thinking it is the missing ingredient to achieving their own excellence. In reality, they have it backward—prestige follows excellence.

I'm not sure I agree. I've been seeking out jobs at less prestigious firms for ages but I started getting interviews only once I had Goldman on my resume. I've never would've had a seat at the table where I can try to achieve excellence if it wasn't for Goldman. I guess the author's argument makes sense for IT where barriers for entry are low, but almost every other industry worth getting into has high barriers for entry.
Ask HN: What are your favorite tricks in IntelliJ Idea
I am looking for tricks to improve my workflow.

One of my favorite is to change the code template of a new method to
`#if ( $RETURN_TYPE != "void" ) throw new UnsupportedOperationException("${SIMPLE_CLASS_NAME}.${METHOD_NAME}");#end`.

Thus every time I create a new method using `Alt+Enter`, it will throw the exception of not yet implemented. I find it helpful. Any similar stuff ?

Apple historically has concentrated leadership to a T (see: the Steve Jobs mythos) I don't recall hearing anything about Intel being nearly as centralized.

Steve Jobs apparently demolished internal units, with the following outcome:

> As was the case with Jobs before him, CEO Tim Cook occupies the only position on the organizational chart where the design, engineering, operations, marketing, and retail of any of Apple’s main products meet. In effect, besides the CEO, the company operates with no conventional general managers: people who control an entire process from product development through sales and are judged according to a P&L statement.

Apple probably has similar problems, but this particular sub-organization is healthy for now.

Maybe because it's newer and hasn't rotted yet.
The conversation in Satyas own book of the trip to try to recruit some HP exec with Balmer where Satya pushed to take over some division and Balmer reluctantly agreed on the flight down to SF but told Satya he better be able to execute and quickly or he should work on his parachute skills, alone is hilarious when viewed through the lens you describe.

Sure, thanks a ton for asking. The original reason behind why I created SeeLink was to share important links with friends and family. SeeLink makes your links sharable, searchable, and easily readable (as it displays each link in the form of a card with a title, description, and image). It also allows you to write text around the links using a tag, and has a ton of link specific features that make it easier to share links. These include creating specific boards through which you can add specific links to share with specific people. I think these are the main advantages that SeeLink has over something like Google Docs. Let me know if you have any further questions!

What's new in the Citus 9.5 extension to Postgres
Explained somewhat by the nature of the innovators dilemma and the products they're making:
- x86 chips for PC were Intel's cash cow so doing anything to disrupt that revenue stream would be fought against
- Apple's cash cow is the phone itself so they don't particularly have any dogmatic loyalty to one type of chip as long as the phone sells

Now if there were a technology to come up agains the iPhone (glasses anyone?) they'd probably face the same conundrum; disrupt themselves or be disrupted?
> The purpose of a corporation isn't to continue existing in perpetuity, but rather, to maximize returns for its investors.

Society grants a group of people immunity from personal liability when they form an organization that has some chance of carrying out some useful work. The organization becomes a special kind of entity - a corporation. It can operate without its investors & officers fearing that their own wealth is on the line should something go wrong. Societies do this because it is widely believed that it would be impossible for various things to happen without it. That is, if personal liability was always in play, nobody would organize human organizations to try to accomplish difficult/dangerous tasks, and the same might also apply to unlikely-to-succeed-but-potentially-significant efforts.

That's what the purpose of a corporation is, not maximising returns for its investors, which is a recent idea (dating back to the 1970s) and has nothing to do with why corporations exist.
There was a comment in one of the Google biographies that the execs fought so much (maybe bill Campbell? RIP) that Sundnar became the person to unwedge the egos and therefore got selected on that basis.
where would you put Herodotus or Thucydides or xenophon? the first historians weren't Roman really. there are other works less self consciously historical that predate them too, right?
Hmmm. I do not agree because this is very much an unless they succeed kind of parable and then you can spin it another way. Apple is now a chip company? I guess avoid apple because them re-inventing themselves all the time is your worst nightmare as an investor.
I work in HFT and my experience is like yours: the most well known firms pay the least. Right now I'm at a very small prop firm as a partner and compensation is much greater than I would have gotten at Jane St, Citadel, etc.

Generally people only seek at prestigious firms like Goldman early in their career and switch over to more obscure but lucrative opportunities: prop firms, pe, hf, etc.

Add paneer to that list. Pluses:

- tasty even by itself; can even be eaten without cooking

- fairly good in protein although has less per gram than milk, I think because some is lost in the whey that is discarded; but if you make it yourself (see next point), you can drink the whey or use it in soup stock, or to cook any other dish like like a stew

- easy and fast to make it yourself from just milk and lemon juice

- goes well in many other Indian dishes such as mutter (peas) paneer, alu (potato) paneer, palak (spinach) paneer, mix veg paneer, paneer chilli, paneer bhurji, etc.
Googling should find many recipes for all of these.
I agree with your sentiment, but I think you've arrived at the wrong place. People are not going to read and understand a T&C, in most cases. Tactics like delays, or even forced scrolls to "ensure" they do are farcical and ritualistic. This is obvious to everyone.

Actual "commercial relations" are based in custom, and law... not just contracts. Adam Smith talked a lot about custom, rarely about contracts.

The T&C ritual is a bureaucratic farce, our version of medieval catholic indulgences. It can only be understood anthropologically.
which started from the same design as Exynos

Apple was actually the one designing those cores in the Exynos - up until and including the Exynos 4000. That was when Apple decided to sever ties with Samsung and stopped designing cores for them and Samsung had to go back to stock ARM designs with the Exynos 5000. That was why the 5000 series sucked so badly - Samsung lost access to those Apple/Intrinsity juiced cores. It’s also what prompted Samsung to open SARC in Austin.

While Steve Jobs was alive, he served as Apple's lodestone and BDFL. It's only been 9 years since his passing, so any rot that might exist probably wouldn't have grown enough (taking into account their culture of secrecy as well) to be externally visible.
