People often talk about these aspects of human behaviour and interaction like they're an inherently bad thing. And, oc rouse, we have to be honest enough to admit that sometimes it can be a bad thing. We can all point to examples of toxic behaviour and nepotism as a result of people sucking up and playing politics.

However, humans are social creatures, and we get things done by cooperating with eachother, so I think it's fair to argue that those social skills are also pretty important for building software.

Like any other social activity or grouping, that can work well, or it can be toxic, but the need for those social skills as a software engineer isn't inherently evil. Likewise, the fact that people with "better" social skills often "do better" isn't necessarily wrong either because those skills are incredibly important for any cooperative endeavour, and particularly for leadership.
Only a few have, and even then only for a few fixed things. They have extreme versions of the inflexibility problems that fpgas have, and few exchanges have low enough jitter to justify ASICS over fpgas.

It might surprise people that relatively few hfts do latency arb (and the ones that do often have some other structural advantage), and at that the ones are more and more mixing in serious short-term alpha. In that context speed is simply becoming table stakes for playing the game, and not the one true race to win it all.

On the other hand, this rises the usual (but still interesting) questions like: what happens if you don't have the right female talent at the moment, but still need to fill quotas? Is it ethical to have a spot reserved regardless of merit? Why is gender equality pushed mostly (only?) for pleasant managerial roles?

Ah right yes conflict of terminology.

In the JVM devirtualising means making a virtual object a full object again, so the opposite of what you want to be happening.

I don't think the JVM really names the optimisation you're talking about, but it does do it, through either a global assumption based on the class hierarchy, or an inline cache with a local guard.
Rebrand if you have a clearly better alternative. Otherwise just go with xyz-app.com or something similar and no one will bat an eye... unless xyz.app will suddenly spring to life and starts aggressively market itself.
Normally I would agree with this, but I think in this case Apple would have to do so little to make this a suitable enough device to the software development crowd, and without affecting how the device works for everyone else, that I wish they'd just do it.

All they'd need to do is allow sideloading. Even if they left all the other sometimes-problematic security aspects in place (like enforced sandboxing), it would be enough. People would find a way to do what they need to. I don't need it to be a full replacement for my Mac, but it sucks that I can't use this amazing, capable device to a bit of work on my sofa or on the train.

Of course, they'll never do it, because money. Even if 99% of apps stayed on the App Store, the highest earning 1% would be sure to leave.
I don’t think the two are comparable. Around is a video conference app. Mmhmm is a virtual camera with some nifty effects for presentations.

Of course there are ways to prove you own a domain, e.g. one way Google verifies domain ownership is through a TXT record, the content of which is only known to you until you set it. (Well, that doesn't work if the registrar doesn't offer any DNS service other than submitting NS records to a zone file.) The NS records updated to generic, known values shows that someone who owns that domain intends to use your nameserver, but that someone doesn't have to be the one claiming the domain. If two accounts try to claim a domain at the same time, and the NS records have been set, which account do you award the domain to?

Also, strict proof may not be necessary, there's the Cloudflare/Route53 way with a pool of nameservers used for verification. Cloudflare has a blog post explaining that: https://blog.cloudflare.com/whats-the-story-behind-the-names... (Disclaimer: I'm not sure if account-specific combos are attacker-proof. Definitely better than generic ones though.)

That is fascinating. It reminds me of the games I used to play when I was younger. I remember playing COD4 back in the day and "strafing" being an important part of the gameplay. Another thing that every pro player did was reload animation cancelling. It allowed one to rapid fire snipers.

COD4 also had serverside mod support where upon connecting to a dedicated server, the client could choose to download these mods from the server. It was crazy what the community was able to come up with.

These days... well, surprisingly not so much has changed. Even though the official multiplayer servers have long gone dark, the original COD4 on PC still has a community and player base. Its remastered version that came out recently on the other hand is pretty much dead.
the opportunity to change your brand will disappear soon, take it now as it may be your last chance. You can then try to cover the .app, .com. .io range with your new choice.
Something that always struck me as funny is that HW roles at FAANGs/Silicon Valley in general are paid worse than software roles.

It makes sense in that software is more profitable, but a lot of employers who do this (big techs) are not really cash strapped or sensitive for cost.

It is so much much harder to find great HW compiler engineers with deep toolchain knowledge than another leetcode SWE. Seems a serious blindspot.

I don't think there are any solutions to this on a technical level. There's no way for you to prove that you own the domain, besides setting the NS-records.

You can partially mitigate the issue the way Amazon does it. But even that isn't foolproof and I suspect they have other reasons than just this for their approach.
Experience but also biology. Blood is red and some people faint at the sight of blood, that can't be all attributed to experience.
The article primarily talks about the compressed timeline, not the fact its mRNA. I maintain the timeline is a one-off.

The new technology is super exciting though, so lets give the article that. We're hardly so stagnant that a single technological breakthrough is unheard of in the last 50 years and signals an end of stagnancy.
Arguably safety can benefit, too. Open designs allow anyone to inspect both an initial design, and also the modifications that are made to that design over time.
Have you tried changing it up a bit? Pretty much any meditation instructions I've heard concentrated on what works for you.

> But there's literally no difference between the hardware of a Macbook, Mac Mini, and iPad Pro apart from peripherals (e.g. screen, keyboard, touchpad).

screen, keyboard, trackpad, touch screen ports, are A LOT of what defines the hardware. It is clearly not only chipset and RAM.

> Why would a developer even need two devices when the laptop runs the same hardware and is only missing things (modem, touch screen, sensors, cameras)?

Maybe they don't need two devices in the first place. Isn't a MBP a very capable, portable, software development device? If the issue is that moving around with a MBP13 and an iPadPro with keyboard is cumbersome / heavy, then maybe the MBP plus the cheapest iPad with no keyboard would be more bearable and cover most of the use cases? Maybe the MPB and the iPhone can cover enough use cases.

I think my point is that the reasoning around iPadpro and MBP should not be that they are in principle equally powerful, so they should allow me to do the same things equally well, rather than the two have distinctive hardware features (form, keyboard, ports...) that make one better suited than the other for specific tasks. Whether I value these specific tasks enough to buy both, depends on my personal needs (and cash reserves)
VR needs more advanced and miniaturized battery and display technology. In it's current form it's blurry, clunky, overly constrained and unrealized by any game.

You haven't asked for a price yet?

Do that first. You may very well have this dilemma, but until you ask and get a price, you are fretting over something that might be an easy decision.
Ive been trying, it's just that it seems like there are hundreds of things that can take 10 minutes or 10 weeks to research and learn, if you can even find out about them.

I just wish I had people in my daily life who could give me answers like "oh that's easy just do this" or "yeah this thing rules but buckle up it's gonna take some time to get down".

It's dangerous only to idealistic outlook where money is evil and not a mere heat carrier.

Now, banksters' interest-driven monetary system based on debt is evil, but that's another topic.

I had a similar experience using my own web app over a satellite link (750ms+ latency) many years ago. What took minutes at the office literally took hours over the air, which I found really surprising. I knew it would take longer but it was much more than 10x longer.

This was when I first realised that UI delays have a non linear effect on productivity. The productivity loss from 10x latency increase is more than 10x. I don’t know how to explain it other than by example, but if you have multiple 1000ms delays you’re more likely to be distracted - to check your email or get a cup of tea or answer a slack message - than if you’re just ploughing through the work. That was my experience anyway.

A few years later I saw the problem in a different context (ETL), so I drew up an informal scale from small to long delays using this kind of human centred thought process, and I realised that, for example, a 1 hour delay to process ETL data is effectively identical to a 6-12 hour delay, because the user will set the process off and go do something else productive for the rest of the work day, which had a huge impact on project delivery (of course).

Once I had seen this in action, I couldn’t unsee it, and I spent the next few years getting rid of a pile of bottlenecks to make the UI performance and feedback loops as fast as possible, for example by refactoring complex operations. My proudest moment was reducing a very complex, 8 hour process down to a 5 minute (perceived) process by doing most of the work in advance, so the data was almost entirely ready before the user needed it. Our users thought the system had broken because it finished so quickly!

I’m sure there are formal studies about this phenomenon, but it was so obvious once I’d experienced it, and our focus on UI latency made a huge difference to both the quantity and quality of the work we and our customers could get work done in a given time period.
I agree. I think makes them more efficient, and less important for some of their common use-cases. All of that mining equipment is infrastructure they don't need.
Well, just to lay out the facts. The soon to be past administration makes the rhetoric so hostile that immigration to US becomes substantially harder and less attractive.

In the historical treatment of math and science from the turn of the 19th century, I can't help but hear a familiar ring of, "Gentlemen, we've finally gotten to the bottom of science."
I used to work on drivers and firmware for consumer electronics remote controls, and the empirical threshold we used at the time, was that an average human cannot press a button two times in a row much faster than with a 200 ms delay. (So, if the driver was getting same key presses spaced by less than that, it could safely assume those come from auto-repeat in the RC.)
As a sibling has said, writing to maximise engagement is a different beast from writing “well”. I’m sure some “growth hacker” types would argue for defining “well” in a way that’s quantifiable, hence the confusion.

I personally find that style very annoying. It’s especially popular on LinkedIn. When I notice that I’m reading some vertically-set essay, it’s my cue to stop scrolling and stay off LinkedIn for the next month.
Emacs flexibility means it's as daunting as you want it to be. I taught myself the basics years ago and ever since it has completely changed the way I view programming.

They don't document it well but they will sign pretty much anything over the web so long as you're not distributing it on add-ons.mozilla.org (AMO). You don't have to use web-ext.

There isn't even a manual review gate for AMO releases after the first one (but it can happen after that fact).

I find Mozilla's policies friendlier than Google's but this is the first I've heard of "extension developer mode" - will have to look into that as my extension is cross browser.

The core separation was always arbitrary and overly staged to the benefit of the author's position. Peter Thiel is fond of dividing between atoms and bits, where he then proclaims that the only substantial progress has been in the world of bits. That's a poorly staged argument for his benefit, as in reality progress in the world of bits is progress in the world of atoms. It's all the same real world. It's a borderline mystical separation, like pretending the body and brain are not connected, or that the body has a distinct magical soul separate from the physical (and Thiel is loaded with mystical beliefs, so it makes sense that his irrationality would predictably repeat). It's a particularly amusing logic failure by Thiel because he attempts to take up a pro-science, pro-reason position. As one example, the mass global adoption of email (and numerous other similarly effective instant communication tools) over the last 20-25 years is a tangible, real thing and it involves atoms as much as a skyscraper or an automobile does. If our computing improves by ten fold, if we build giant globe-spanning systems for commerce, communication, media, entertainment, knowledge/education - that's all extraordinary progress in the world of atoms. You get a sense of Thiel's personal snobbery and bias in what he chooses to proclaim to be real progress. The very rapid advance of the GPU the past two decades, along with what it enables in the so-called world of bits (which, again, is actually the world of atoms as well), is every bit as important as many prominent world of atoms events in the 20th century, yet Thiel's position is to debase such accomplishments, because his argument is harmed by that advancement.

Building data centers is building a mill or factory. That obviously isn't to imply they employ the same number of people (which is a distinct issue of automation, efficiency, etc). Thiel & Co. like to pretend there's some magic to steel or plastic and there is nothing special (atoms tangible) about a data center - and all the technology that goes with it - linked up at the speed of light to the rest of the world. It's nothing more than a silly and arbitrary line they've drawn to the benefit of their position.
Show HN: Guilt Management App
Junk management app, that I've created to help me lose weight.
I see your point, and I think is valid. But I disagree.

I think the harm of legalization is only slightly below the war on drugs. Legalization means another vector of government control in my life, most likely outsourced to big pharma.

All the issues you are pointing can be solved by decriminalization are solved by individual responsibility and boils down to answering the question: Can you trust your source? If you can't answer the question you probably need help through a government sponsored damage control program.

To be precise, I used MDMA couple of times in my youth. My source sent every batch to a lab, we knew exactly what we were taking. Then he retired, and my MDMA use with him, cause I have no trusted source.

No amount of government control will substitute for cautious and responsible use. It might even hinder it, see alcohol, see tobacco, see opioid epidemic in the US.
I'll go ahead and list some other things I want from my technology:

> It should be cheap, preferably free, since I don't have infinite money and would much prefer to spend the money I do have on things like food, housing and entertainment.

> It should be easy to use, fast and generally have good UX.

> It should be bug-free to a reasonable degree. (Does not need to be flawless but not so buggy that it gets in the way)

> If battery powered, I expect it to last at least a day between charges since I am often out for the entire day.

> Related to the UX point above: it should be fairly stable. I don't want my phone to stop working because some FOSS dev started working on something else and "forgot" about the package that is now a crucial part of my phone OS.

Clearly some of these points conflict with each other and with the points in the original list. That said, I think my list is closer to the revealed preferences of phone buyers than the one in the original article.

I agree; it's fairly unlikely that this is a huge downward turning point for them. I suspect they are keeping an eye on market trends, and basically know they are close to untouchable (although it's probably dangerous to play with that quite this severely).

That said, I think one core difference to the parallels you drew is that Google is perhaps less diversified (in terms of revenue source) than those companies were, prior to their "pivots".
