Yes, that's completely true. Statements like this require a lot of context. How the recruiting workflow works today is that context is surfaced in actual interviews.

Would it be better if we could somehow accurately assess professionals on the sum totality of their experience, contributions, behaviors and traits? Yes, indeed it would. But it would also be a lower-paying world because managers would only have sufficient information to hire the people they know closely, and have personally observed over sufficient periods of time.

Our modern system that enables people unknown to a company to be hired based on a simplifying process is a feature, not a bug. Because of this system, companies can scale, hire hundreds or thousands of engineers, and create world-defining products. That success is what enables companies to pay the extraordinary compensation that the technology profession currently earns.

In a world historical context, or even a 21st century capitalism context, the compensation paid to professionals with only a few years experience is absolutely without precedent. Many technology professionals earn more per year in their first year of employment than their parents or grandparents ever earned in a year in their entire lifetimes.

So while I agree there are downsides and negative aspects to the tradeoff of the modern, anonymous, meritocratic system of hiring, the benefits, for technology professionals and the world, far outweigh the negatives.

> Haskell (or Elm) is not going to become an industry language

I'm not really sure what this means. At Riskbook we have about 50,000 lines of Haskell and about 20,000 lines of Elm running in production. It's working great for us.
This behavior drives me crazy. The only way to figure out what's going on is to open the Activity Monitor. On my 2015 iMac (top-of-the-line, at the time) initial launch of some large games has taken tens of minutes, and it happens whenever the game is updated, not just after it is initially installed.
> You should be aware that macOS might transmit some opaque information about the developer certificate of the apps you run. This information is sent out in clear text on your network.

Wow, that is bad from a privacy perspective!

Since certificate revocation is rare, it makes more sense to simply periodically update a list of revoked certificates instead of repeatedly checking each certificate. That would solve the privacy issue while still allowing certificates to be revoked.

OCSP seems like a bad idea for web browsing for similar reasons.
In my country, you're not allowed to use the N-Word on purpose as an insult.

In Canada, you're not allowed to misgender people on purpose to harass them. You can not use their pronouns at all, or you can use wrong pronouns by accident, but you can't use someone's wrong pronouns repeatedly on purpose to harass them.

It's not anymore compelled speech than disallowing people from using the n word for the purpose of harassment.
So Apple sends an app-developer identifier in clear text each time you open an app? That sounds really bad.

One of my complaints is California's housing market and zoning makes it difficult for people to relocate close to work. And work to locate close to workers. So instead we have people wasting vast amounts of time and resources commuting.

I've probably spent 5000 hours and $100,000 on commuting over the last 30 years. It's all been fundamentally a waste.

> I claim that economic growth cannot continue indefinitely. [...] the Earth has only one mechanism for releasing heat to space, and that’s via (infrared) radiation. We understand the phenomenon perfectly well, and can predict the surface temperature of the planet as a function of how much energy the human race produces. The upshot is that at a 2.3% growth rate (conveniently chosen to represent a 10× increase every century), we would reach boiling temperature in about 400 years. [Pained expression from economist.] And this statement is independent of technology. Even if we don’t have a name for the energy source yet, as long as it obeys thermodynamics, we cook ourselves with perpetual energy increase.

OP here.

Fair feedback here. A lot of companies are not data-driven enough. But with OKRs and behavioral interviewing, the trend is towards companies and interview processes being more data driven.

I'd suggest that this makes it more important for you to track numbers. You're responsible for your own career - your current employer certainly isn't concerned about where you will be 10 years from now.

My recommendation would be, from now on, to keep an eye on the 3 - 5 metrics you can realistically help in moving in a year. Track the numbers independently if possible. It matters much more to your career than to your company, and helps you share a story about your capabilities to future bosses and employers.

Am I correct in thinking this is a designated safe space?

Since they ban 'non-conservative' accounts the claim to being more free speech than twitter or FB is hardly accurate.

A true free speech social media platform, which this is not, would be an interesting experiment. It would end badly but the entertainment value would be quite high until it implodes. Pity that they are not actually interested in free speech.

Besides, if they get a non-trivial amount of users, the stability they claim the platform has will not last.

Interesting. In what countries would you say that being a boss is a common ambition, and what kinds of businesses do you mean?
Not a chip designer, but I think it could lead to a more efficient use of the functional units.

With more instructions decoded per clock and a larger reorder buffer, the core should be able to keep its units busier, i.e. not wasting energy without producing valuable output.

This efficiency gain of course needs to outweigh the consumption of the additional decoders. This part is easier with ARM as decoding x86 is complicated.

In addition to higher unit utilization, the increased parallelism should also be an advantage in the "race to sleep" power management strategy.
If you really think killing animals for food is wrong (if that's the reason you're vegan), doing it just a little bit shouldn't be okay to you and shows you weren't really that serious in the first place.

I wouldn't try to shame someone with a drug addiction but I don't think this is anything similar. What would you say to someone who said they were going to give up plastic straws but gave in and still used them once a week for example? There's certain cases where strong disapproval is more valid and you can't blame lack of self control so much.

I'd argue giving people too much of a break doesn't help either.

I think a big part about why people can't give up meat is that they're surrounded by people telling them it's okay. There's people that know meat is bad for climate change and know killing animals is wrong but won't reduce their meat eating because they see people around them are complacent too.

I'd be interested to see some evidence that promoting the "baby steps" approach is the right one because it could easily be making it worse.

I think it's important in these conversations to be clear, that might be what they claim to envision, it's demonstrably not what they actually envision. For example, Devin Nunes' Cow has already been banned.

It didn't take long for the free speech pretext to be dropped.

It's also quite funny how neutral this article is about the business model of Parler.

Being able to identify the developer of any app I run on my own machine is already too far. You have to assume all these requests are logged and available for state actors on legal demand.

I wonder how big a local revocation list would be. I would support a on-by-default local check.
Re [1]. Same with me. On the input side, I could exist solely on rice and beans. However, on the output side, my body just won't cooperate and generates a very foul output. So meat and veggies it is. :-(
It is only very very slightly less concerning than sending the app hashes. Coming to the conclusion that this is all great and fine is really absurd.
”In recent months, we’ve detected cyberattacks from three nation-state actors targeting seven prominent companies directly involved in researching vaccines and treatments for Covid-19.“
OCSP doesn't seem like the right protocol for this. Apple should probably just ship you a list of hashes of revoked certificates once a day, and should do the check locally. (Obviously, the global certificate database is too big to send to every user, but Apple should be able to determine the subset of certificates they trust, and the even smaller subset of those that are revoked or compromised.)

To me, it sounds like they decided to take the quick-and-easy path of reusing an existing protocol for the use case of stopping malware, but it doesn't really fit. The latency, privacy, and availability guarantees of OCSP just don't match with the requirements for "run a local application".

> TMSC will make us suffer due to monopoly

The fears have less to do with TSMC the company and more the fact it's a pawn in the geopolitical chess game between the US (and her pacific allies) and China.

The issues with supply chains through Taiwan have little to do with whether gamers are buying their CPUs from AMD or Intel, but the fact that a critical piece of infrastructure in the Western economy is very precariously located, and in the event of war or political strife is not going to be able to be mobilized for domestic (or even friendly-allied) production.
I don't think a lot of people know what they want. There is just as much guessing as to which job to take as employers have choosing who to hire.

Taking the most prestigious or most compensation is the safest bet, given that you don't really know what you want to do other than 'I like coding and interesting problems'.

Partly I think that Harvard students have been adapted to seek prestige (else they probably wouldn't be there), but I also think the author is missing that it isn't so much a drive for prestige, but just a lack of other goals for which to substitute.

‘Chainlink Killer’ API3 Closes $3M Funding Round with Placeholder and Pantera
I'll preface that I'm an outside observer & not a language developer so I may have a skewed sense here, but this caught my eye:

> Congratulations to JeanHeyd for C++23’s first language extension, and also for his persistence with this paper – the adopted version is revision 8, and that number and the paper’s change history indicates the level of rigor that can be required to get a feature into C++. Many thanks!

Congrats to JeanHeyd for the perseverance & not trying to take away anything from it as it's an accomplishment. I do want to discuss how long changes take to land in C++.

For something as relatively straightforward & non-controversial as P0330 that took 8 revisions, how do other languages compare? Do changes to Python, Rust, Go, or Swift take this much effort?
They already know they exist (they sign them) and most of those are downloaded via the AppStore (they run that) and people tend to log in using iCloud (which they own).

I get it, we're all supposed to trust nobody and have 7 billion independent islands where you don't have to trust anyone or work with anyone.

I have not seen any solution, just people piling on. Having PKI and signatures using a central authority is the least-worst solution we have right now, and until something better is created we don't really have a lot of places to go (unless we accept downgrading common user's security and usability).
"Death from any cause" makes perfect sense to me, I interpret it to mean "all kinds of death lumped together".

Perhaps you mean good luck getting a valuable software patent. You would be right - <5% of patents are used in litigation or licensing discussions. However, it oftentimes still makes sense to have a few patents if you're running a startup (I explain why in the free patent strategy course @ zerotopatent.com) without spending too much time or money getting them.

Regarding your larger point, I've written and prosecuted hundreds of patents, and 95%+ of them were allowed. And very few of these ideas are groundbreaking. It does speak to brokenness of the system, unfortunately, but these are the rules of the game until Congress changes the rules.
Yes, but then you need cash to pay off the credit card, which is cheaper to pull from your margin available than to let the credit card charge you interest.

> So among that group of mentally ill, what’s the violence rate compared to the “general population.” It’s going to necessarily be higher.

This doesn't follow. People don't call the police for mentally bill people being violent, they call for them being disruptive, or in the best case, perceiving the mentally ill person as a threat.

Neither of those implies any violent action on the part of the mentally ill person. People are primed to assume that any sort of abnormal behavior is dangerous or implies potential for violence. That doesn't really follow.

Not do we even touch on second order effects like how escalating aggression with mentally ill person will lead to more aggression in response.

What we do have, already, is fairly conclusive data that these policies do work, in other nations and our own.
Look at LG's NeoChef "Smart Inverter Magnetron" models. I have the .9 cu ft one. Inverter tech plus starts immediately and two "add time" controls: one adds in 30 second increments and a separate control that adds OR subtracts cooking time in 10 second intervals. We've had it about two years now, use the heck out of it and it is, unquestionably, the best microwave we've ever had. Plus, it looks good in stainless and black glass. About $130.

I'd say the hardest part is writing a comprehensive patent. Defending it and amending the claims later down the road is easy if you have the base material to amend the claims with (i.e., material you wrote in your original patent).

Also, paying a top firm to write the patent is generally 50-70% of the cost of getting a patent allowed.

Litigation is a different matter entirely...
Most of the people affected by the issue have no idea what OCSP is.
> This cultural difference is reflected in a desire to escape "wages" as soon as possible, not necessarily "save for retirement".

I don't think it has to do with that necessarily (at least in my cohort), it's just that many immigrants come from nations who haven't had stability in their financial systems, if they even had one to begin with. A business has tangible roots in a community and can generate revenue when there's a monetary collapse, which is much easier for someone to trust if they haven't grown up in a stable economy. My old country doesn't even have 30 year mortgages, for example. If it did, mortgages expiring now would have been signed right as the iron curtain was coming down, which drastically changed the Eastern bloc's financial systems almost over night.

I wonder how the reliability is --- the newer inverter-based ovens often burn out the electronics long before the magnetron.
Microwaves made cooking quicker, which changed lives, which changed the way society was structured.

As this article here: https://blog.jacopo.io/en/post/apple-ocsp/ showcases, Apple doesn't send "my data" on every app start.

None of your data is being sent to Apple.

I get that a dev cert isn't the same as identifying the software itself... but that only applies for developers that have multiple apps, and I suspect most do not.

Then unencrypted requests are also a Bad Thing, because anyone has access to the same info - it may require a lot of work to get general knowledge of what apps someone is using, but if you were looking for a specific one then I don't see any real difficulty identifying that.

e.g. if I wanted to know if someone was using signal I just look for the signal cert being queried. That's a much easier problem, and can be dangerous to the end user.
