OP here. Thanks for the great comment.

This made me laugh: "I sat in the same building while these things were going on."

I agree with you that starting point matters, and that context matters - such as sometimes doubling AWS costs would be better.

The nature of the advice is the science - using numbers factually works better. The nature of your feedback is the art - the types of accomplishments you choose to demonstrate reveals a lot about you as a professional.

To take our example of the doubling AWS costs to make better decisions. Well, how can you quantify those were better decisions. If it's just by the feels, that's not as effective. If you can quantify it - Helped team make decisions that led to x% improvement through database normalization - that is more persuasive than simply saying "Improved team's decision making through database normalization."

Hope that makes sense!
Is this outside the US? I’ve never seen one like that here in the US. I wish my microwave had a lock. The door mechanism stopped working properly and almost blasted me with microwaves when I opened it without turning it off first. The lights flicker ominously if I open it now, so I just stopped using it. It scared the hell out of me.
Pet peeve about using spotlight as a currency converter btw:

It can do popular currencies ("100 EUR in USD", CAD, JPY, GBP) and some minor ones (HKD, THB, SEK, NOK, HRK), but try lesser known ones (GEL, COP, PHP, KES), and it doesn't work.

Wonder where that list resides, and whether one could extend it.
Of course they do. It uses an IFrame request to the Google.com domain (so that the "host" website doesn't see any details before you login). Google can however see who you are because your auth cookies and what-not will be sent along with that Iframe request on whatever host website decides to use this pattern. See: Medium

A further issue with this is that Google knows you're on that website because the referrer and request headers will have that on the IFrame request.

Edit. I think I replied on the wrong post here.
Another thing to consider is that there is always turnover in a market. Even if there are always 170 competitors you can be certain that each year some of them drop out and new ones appear. Guess what the new ones did. They made the effort.

You may fail if you try, but you will fail if you don't. Someone is going to replace one of the existing players, why not you?
This. 1000 times THIS!
They have so many cool bits of tech, but somehow managed to never have any of them however small evolving to be a killer app.
> a reasonable expectation of common sense/reason from your average citizen

Half the US has voted for someone explicitly denying science, half the UK has voted for Brexit, in some areas of Germany 25% vote for people just a few beards short of Nazis, Bolsonaro is still in office. The "average citizen" can not be trusted to vote in their own interest or in the interest of the future generations.
I work in crypto and we sell a hardware device to keep your seed phrase secure and the physical device is required to sign transactions.

But then you should listen to the advice we're given if we use one for personal use.

1. buy two devices

2. Generate a phrase on one then import to the other

3. Put the second one in a safety deposit box in another city or state, or a safe with a family member also out of the city or state.

4. Keep a copy of the phrase on steel seed phrase tool (Steely, etc)

5. Mount the steel seed phrase backup inside of a wall of your house and plaster and paint over it.

6. If your phrase ever gets seen by any electronic means, it's compromised and the process must be redone (note that importing uses a randomly shuffled alphabet on the device to make MITM or keylogging attacks unusable).

So... Security is hard. We should build systems that make it easy. There should be ways to recover from backups of a service goes offline, but we can't expect everyone to make good decisions.

Not to mention having passwords synced between devices and available on demand is really a requirement of you use random passwords for every site and need to log into something (heaven forbid) on someone else's device.

You are right that I was too lazy to even bother explain my statement.

But you are wrong about the sense of ownership. The bitterness comes from Evan deciding to make backwards breaking changes to the new version of the language and forcing you to spend days to update your code base.

It’s been so long that I don’t even remember what the changes were and can’t bother going back and look.

One example that stuck in my mind is when he decided that users should not be allowed to use the prime(‘) character in variables name.

It was not because that this character was now used in some other way. It was just him deciding he didn’t like that in variable names, so he not only forced it to the language codebase but to all the users as well.

Of course this was easy to change but gives you an idea. The rest of the changes where in the same spirit but much more difficult to change.

So it has nothing to do with small vs popular language. Imagine if Stroustrup had come out and said that since C+11 variable names would be case insensitive and operator overloading was forbidden.
As my 85 year dad says about guys like that, you first!
Interestingly, just recently, Neil Mitchell has published an article claiming that this is a fallacy and in practice, people are forced to back-pedal on it.

Ban recursion and unbounded loops. Proclaim the language is "Turing incomplete" and that all programs terminate.
Declare that Turing incomplete programs are simpler. Have non-technical people conflate terminate quickly with terminate eventually.
Realise lacking recursion makes things incredibly clunky to express, turning simple problems into brain teasers.
Add recursion.
Realise that the everything is better.

To your point about not taking credit for things a company achieves: I think of this similarly to the advice about not always saying "in my opinion"; of course it's your opinion, you're saying it! Similarly, of course your contribution was just one part of a team effort, nothing is ever achieved in a vacuum! But I struggle mightily with this on both counts.

Speaking of being gaslit, is everyone who applies to the Triplebyte told they received "among the highest score ever?" I know I'm adequately good but not a poet-ninja-pirate of software dev. So, it seemed like obvious BS that added to the red flags that led me to ignore them in-spite of potential $180k-ish opportunities because I just didn't trust them.

The timeless advice of Warren Buffett "no matter how good it seems now, you can never get a good deal with a shark."
I think this is a misunderstanding. The problems with the Mac have not been due to neglect, but due to very aggressive forward looking and innovative advancements of the platform some of which just failed.

You don’t develop all new low profile keyboard technology, an original touch sensitive display interface system, a new hinge mechanism, a custom integrated security and image processing chip (T2), and a unique 5k display system through neglect. The problem is some of these advancements were simply misconceived. It wasn’t lack of interest or investment, it was poor execution of some of the new developments.

Steve Jobs used to say that being better necessarily meant being different, but being different means taking risks and sometimes they don’t pay off.

Noise pollution is surely a contributor to mental and perhaps even physical problems, but it seems to be very low priority. Also, I would assume that people who are exposed to higher air pollution from vehicles are likewise exposed to more noise.

Personally, stupidly loud motorcycles driving through my village make me want to hurt the riders, and I'm normally a gentle person. Thus, noise pollution greatly contributes to mental disorder for me!

When hiring managers and recruiters are looking through a stack of 100s of resumes, or even 10s of resumes, all of which say "Worked with technology X", how can they choose which professionals to interview or phone screen.

Actual experience in the real world is that those who quantify their success in using technology X to achieve goals / OKRs / results for teams tend to get the interview.
Another one is to make it easy to integrate with existing communities. Communities that currently use slack channels, discord channels etc as chat solutions for their websites could switch to use matrix homeservers authenticating with their own user base. It would create a positive feedback loop for adoption, i 'd definitely use it.
Interesting point. I guess as cache sizes go up instruction density becomes less important. Also Arm abandoned Thumb - which was relatively easy to decode - for AArch64 and I guess they must have done quite a lot of analysis before doing so.
> Go on, eat death then.

What?
One could still make .. how do you say, "telephone" calls?

Phones still have a lot of compute and sensor hardware that standalone apps can make use of. Heck, my Galaxy S3 can be a desktop replacement with MHL-out and USB or Bluetooth interfaces. And a lot of patience.
With the world’s population projected to severely contract in the coming centuries, I wonder how that will effect the possibility of exponential growth.
> Turns out some other page is editing its state

The solution to this particular problem is to stop thinking in terms of page.

Which page you're on is only a matter of view, and maybe a minimal amount of view-related model. Most of your model data should be related to your application logic, not to a specific page or component. Separating your model logic and your view logic helps a lot to avoid having this problem, because your model logic becomes agnostic to what page modifies it.
> First of all, it’s not an extreme position. I’m not going to die at 75. I’m not committing suicide. I’m not asking for euthanasia. I’m going to stop taking medications with the sole justification that the medication or intervention is to prolong my life.
I agree that on its own, it doesn't seem too interesting for the FPGA to be accessing the flash through the same PCIe x4 interface that the host system could use. But servers with 24+ NVMe SSDs don't always have the bandwidth to saturate all the SSDs simultaneously; they're often connected through a PCIe fanout switch that has just an x16 uplink (or an x16 per CPU socket). Having an accelerator to offload eg. search means the drives in aggregate don't have to send as much data up to the CPUs (or NICs). Even if these drives have what appears to be a sub-optimal design, they can still help alleviate bottlenecks elsewhere.
This is very interesting. Just because a technique works for situation A doesn't mean it works for situation B. Also, maybe this ex-Apple CEO didn't have the capability to pull it off.
Based on the Github username I kind of expected it to play Duke Nukem on the original hardware. :)

Most amusing is that Biden will be 77. Emanuel has plans?
Exactly, which is why I'm highly skeptical of someone whose political position is justified by supposedly listening to 911 calls.

I listened to the local dispatch until recently when the cops switched to encrypted channels. Fire/EMS is still available though.
Also just sounds silly. I haven't read through the papers, but I highly doubt anyone studied how chili consumption affected the change of dying in car accidents.

That's not disarming the police, just making them pay $500 out of pocket.
Yes. In fact, I would argue it should not be possible to have this "the best team" - if teams in different parts of the org are directly comparable, then they must be doing the same exact thing, and why do you have multiple teams scattered around doing identical things? That is, a well structured org will have teams working on Thing A and Thing B. If a brand new Thing C comes along, it isn't either Thing A or Thing B, and you have no real information on how good either team will be at Thing C, all you can know is how good they are at Thing A and Thing B respectively.
Morality aside, the economic argument is strong, not that we didn't think it was there but the magnitude is striking.

> Lots of presidents and lots of politicians say, “Children are our most valuable resource.” But we as a country don’t behave like that. We don’t invest in children the way we invest in adults, especially older adults. One of the statistics I like to point out is if you look at the federal budget, $7 goes to people over 65 for every dollar for people under 18.

Quebec to ban sale of new gas-powered vehicles as of 2035
I can't understand how anyone entertains this guy's views. His main arguments boil down to:

"These people who live a vigorous life to 70, 80, 90 years of age—when I look at what those people “do,” almost all of it is what I classify as play. It’s not meaningful work."

According to this "ethicist", the lives of non-productive, non-creative people should not be supported/extended by medicine.

Try telling that to Medicare recipients, those that retired in their 50s, families with members with special needs, the homeless, those with long term disabilities, manufacturing skills that cannot find employment, in the coal industry, with PTSD and mental health issues, addicted to Sacklers' poison. Why stop there? Why not argue that work is not meaningful unless one makes more than minimum wage or at least a living wage.

That is a dystopian future that sounds to me more like Logan's Run than anything else.
The National-Security Case for Fixing Social Media
People loved the idea of the car and stuck with it right from the start. There's always someone that will resist anything, and society at large will take its time to reorganize and adjust itself that change. But the people that support the change itself are the driving force of it, not the "interest groups." If nobody liked cars to begin with, cars wouldn't have gained any momentum regardless how much someone tried to force them on people.

Actually that was back when they were nice cubicles. Sure the colors weren't great, but the cubes were about five feet high and relatively big.

They blocked out most of the sound and very few visual distractions when you were sitting down. They worked well if you wanted relative peace and quiet to concentrate.

Since then they have switched to open-concept with cubes about half the size and walls that are maybe four feet high. So now people have plenty of visual distractions and a lot more noise. Didn't help they added sit-stand desks so you will have people who get on calls while standing and can be heard 30+ feet away.
You’re going to miss a lot of talent by reading too much into peoples’ resumes.

There are dozens of possible explanations for any given bullet point that range from horrible to excellent.
Trying to draw too many conclusions from a resume isn’t all that different from reading tea leaves.
"Every human being has the right to safe, clean, affordable, and accessible water adequate for human consumption, cooking, and sanitary purposes."

Not just drinking water, 685 covers most all standard water usage. What the water-claimant regime is pointing to here is that nothing is even remotely comparable in State government control under a democracy to raw population. And thus a minority population is left with no recourse.
But this is also simply a value judgment by historians. The argument that its all about 'culture', like in so many other fields is a very questionable approach. Similar arguments are often made about Political Scicne that we must study 'political culture' and that this will give us information about why things happen.

In both cases I think this is very questionable assumption being made. Individual choice in one battle or one political move can and does change things, and if you want to understanding what happens is absolutely relevant.

Also, things like doctrine that has been studied for a long time, are very related to culture so I don't even fully agree that military historians have ignored culture.
Very poorly written and thin on information. Seems to be written just for SEO purposes
I’m curious to understand why you think introducing a gun into this situation is going to make it any better?

We know from plenty of examples that in the scenario you describe there’s a high chance that the individual will end up shot by the police, and probably dead. We know police don’t have the training or the tools to handle this scenario well.

I don’t see how brining in people with better training could be a detriment. Worse case you ended up back where you started, the “violent and irrational” person ends up dead. Best case they successfully deescalate and render appropriate treatment, saving their life.

Not sure where the downside is.
Lmao you're on this again. Stockholders control the company. Their goal and "purpose of a corporation" are synonyms, even if legally companies aren't forced to maximize profits. In fact, the legal requirements have nothing to do with the purpose of the company.

In practice you just trade in your old pack for a new one and let a professional deal with refurbishing or upcycling it into a wall battery.
Instead of guessing how someone feels and what they are thinking, you can ask people what they're feeling and thinking directly. Sometimes people will tell you what they're feeling and thinking without you having to ask - then you can empathize with them just by listening. I think of "empathy" as a synonym for "understanding".

Legal remedies are almost always bad. They're really only good as a last resort. Who actually wants to spend years of their time and lots of money in court over company abuses?

The true solution is technology. We need software that blocks all kinds of telemetry and advertising while also leaving all the other good functionality intact. We simply make it impossible for them to abuse our good will in any way, their business interests be damned.

so first off, and sorry for the pedantism, cars are required to have three brake lights in the US. if a single one is out, it should be replaced promptly, but it is by no means an urgent problem. anyways, I don't want to debate this specific example in depth. if you don't agree, I'm sure you can think of some other example of an offense that gives legal grounds for a traffic stop but doesn't really justify it. frankly I am of the opinion that a lot of low-level violations (traffic and otherwise) exist primarily as a means to circumvent the default protection against unreasonable search and seizure, but we may just have to agree to disagree on that one.

the thing that strikes me as particularly tragic about these police shootings is how many of them started as confrontations over fairly minor offenses. would it be so bad to just let a few more people get away with petty crimes? or better yet, can't we find a way to hold these people accountable that doesn't involve a face-to-face encounter with an armed officer?
Then you forget about the domain registration, or you are unable to pay due to hospitalization or finances, and you lose it.

Likewise for storage of data at home, there are floods and fires.

That'd depend on your prior, before hearing of this, for expecting a mechanism for chilis to reduce mortality by 25%.

My prior if you'd asked me would've been "c'mon, you really think so?" Not impossible but quite unlikely.
In the very worst scenario, you’re going to need guns, source of food, land, and most importantly a network of people who you can call to help defend you (or go on offense with you to acquire necessary resources).

The dollar is only useful as long as the US government continues to perform as an organization. However, as the US approaches dissolution, I would expect the value of USD to approach zero as the government increases the supply of money and prospective owners of the currency lose trust in its ability to retain value in the future.

Arm has swapped a large part of its application user base from 32 bit to a completely incompatible but more modern 64 bit ISA and Apple has cast off the 32bit legacy completely due to its ability to control the whole stack.

Yes, frozen plus microwaved vs. steamed yields identical results, provided you stir in the microwave every minute to avoid building up hot spots. It's just physics.
