I'm curious as to how this happens. I'm sure everyone's been in the situation where there's a blocker that goes on for a while or they've been assigned to a team/department but not told what to do. But this sounds different.

How are dev tickets tracked if at all? Are there daily stand ups where you and your team just bullshit for 15 seconds each? Do your superiors not expect deliverables?
I never noticed that. Inbox was what got me to inbox zero, quickly. I also used it almost exclusively on my phone, however.
The difference between good and bad engineering teams
> - Thinking Engineers don't care about reasons for doing things

This sticks out to me. I think there's a growing dichotomy in industry among engineering managers.

There are those that don't want their engineers to care about the business reasons and just be cogs, maximizing their productivity. These tend to be prevalent in the FAANGs, in my experience.

Then there are those who prioritize like you do, maximizing engineer impact. I know that I can only function in this type of organization.

I think both sides are convinced that they are right...and maybe they are...but I sure wish it were easier to identify engineering organizations by their type ahead of hire.
iRacing has rallycross and dirt track, but no rally mode.
you comment on "non-consensual porn" may be what the GP meant, but s/he used the term "stolen porn" which I took to mean simply a copy that the user was unauthorized to upload, i.e. I download a movie then share it, not so-called revenge porn. I'd say in the first case, they are roughly equivalent wrongs, but in the case of revenge porn, I'd say distributing that publicly is an much higher moral wrong.
Or see my previous answer: write a custom extension for your compositor (which in most cases already exists and cross-DE) and add additional feature? Like, notification daemons like this already exist on sway (and every other compositor that use wlroots, a compositor backend).
It might be useful to put TikTok in parentheses for ByteDance, since that's their flagship product and most people (myself included) do/did not know that ByteDance is the company behind TikTok.
What I've always found odd is the lack of options across Google applications. It's one thing to play it safe, but another to deny basic modifications that are usually standard. Things as simple as changing color options are so often absent.

Well, compared to native RSS readers Google Reader was crap.

Why do people rememeber it fondly? Was it the fact that it was web based, or was it the only/first RSS reader people have used?
Why put the heat up overnight? That seems extremely counter-intuitive to me.
It's a good game, but a bad sim - the physics aren't anything like as accurate as Dirt Rally.
What makes it worse is that there are practical reasons to implement that way; I've done so for clients, because of bugs found in other SAML parsers that we couldn't leave people susceptible to. One of the material things you can do to lock down a SAML implementation is to accept only the pattern of XML tokens you expect from mainstream IdPs, and then wait for people to complain.
To continue the fantasy: Amazon uses their experience with Stadia to deliver high-quality virtual desktops to thin client laptops.

You own nothing but the locked-down terminal that connects you to the AWS virtual desktop cloud.

The Earth Mac app feels like it hasn’t been updated in 15 years though.
An employee, possibly. The whole company, unlikely. And either way, even if someone was bribed to introduce the attack there's zero reason to allow the hacked software to be downloaded now.

I work at a large and highly regulated (HIPAA) company and we have the equivalent of Electric Dylan/Pete Seeger with the axe: if someone at the VP+ level declares a major incident, our infosec team has a script that will lock down all inbound/outbound traffic, snapshot all our running machines for later forensics, lock our AWS IAM access down to a single incident response account, and move DNS for our web properties to a "we've been hacked" page. (OK, it obviously doesn't say that, but something similar that has been heavily vetted by legal and marketing ;-)). We've drilled and timed it out and can stop the ship in ~5 minutes.

Either SolarWinds doesn't have a major security incident response plan, or they don't have the stomach to pull the trigger. Neither is promising.
Don't forget the font of wisdom that was Yahoo Answers.
Some points are good but I challenge the assumption that our data is a mess because of “unstructured data”. In fact the one example the author makes is of highly structured data - salesforce. The issue I see on my end is that we keep buying solutions focusing mostly on functionality and not evaluating how such solutions store and manage the data they produce. Lack of integrated solutions results in complicated data pipelines due to having to jump through a lot of hoops to blend thing together.
Probably not that much ;) But I pay $10/month for all the music I could ever listen to if I did nothing but listen to music for the rest of my life, so how hard can it be?
It really depends on the subreddits. The smaller and more engaged the community, the better the discussions. As subreddits scale in size, the discussions get proportionally worse.
FOH with your puritanical bullshit. There's no such thing as "sexual depravity". You don't get to define what is a vice and what isn't. Porn does not lead to a totalitarian regime. If anything, looking at history, the more authoritarian the state, the more it limits sexuality in the population.

You can have fun and also "live according to the truth", whatever that means.
I group apps by functional area, so this actually hasn't affected me. But I can imagine if you group apps by brand for some reason then it'd be rather difficult to tell them apart!

Nothing of consequence here. They’re just pledging to support the European rocket jobs program, which is aspirational to maybe match Falcon 9 performance 10+ years from now, at which point it will be hopelessly out of date. There’s nothing here about the actual space race for access to non-terrestrial resources.

YouTube is one of the biggest victims ever of UI/UX that has been crippled on purpose.

• Picture-on-Picture has been artificially blocked on iOS for years.

• Autoplay next video but no auto-repeat, what the fuck?

• Weirdass TikTok-wannabe format for short videos that you can't save in your playlists along with other limitations.

• Comments have been broken and unmoderated since forever.

• Hard to access all your playlists and edit them.

• Can't scroll through the comments while viewing the video on desktop, but you can on mobile.
Also, there's this concept of thermal mass - once you heat up you walls, floors, furniture, etc, they retain it. If you keep on letting your house cool down and then heating it up again, you basically lose that stored heat and need to pay for it again. It's cheaper to just maintain the same temperature all the time.

And, as a PNW resident I really need to emphasize this: MOLD. It's a thing.

d) There's a whole world between China and the "West" that also uses Reddit.

I'm a bit uncertain by what you call the "hard left". I don't know how one can read the "The Rebel" and come out with the idea that the author is a hardliner, when he's advocating for temperance and common sense even in the pursuit of freedom. It's true that Camus and Sartre shared some seminal ideas about religion, absurdism, and the freedom that burdens humanity. Those ideas may have formed the basis of their initial friendship, but as their respective philosophical views developed a rift also formed, with Camus rejecting the more radical notions that Sartre embraced. Again "The Rebel", which Sartre deeply disapproved of, is one such example.

The problem is that those words are really bad for describing things. “Communism” can mean among other things authoritarian regime, UdSSR-Style socialism, China-style state capitalism, or the idea of an utopia with no social classes, no money and no state. By conflating those things you bring down also the level of the discussion.
Keep in mind that our bodies are used to regular bathing, and overproduce the oils and grease and other "junk" on our skin and hair. Of course a person who stopped bathing for a few weeks would smell terrible, but I do wonder if a person who hadn't bathed in months or years would smell so bad? Honestly, I imagine that the smell would be strong, and not entirely pleasant, but not horrible. More akin to a roofer coming home after a hot day. Smelly, sure, but it's not overpowering, and I could see that smell just fading away if everyone smelled that way.
venture capital at work ... I hate that I have to click to old.reddit.com, it's like they try to force me with everything they have to use the new reddit which I hate.
I would partially agree with this. It's not wrong to write down passwords. It is wrong to write them down and not secure them. Securing them is the same step that happens (or is intended to happen) with password managers. The passwords are, themselves, encrypted in some fashion so that they're not (easily) accessible to others. If these passwords were at least put in a locked cabinet, I'd have felt better about it. A safe would've been even better (and this is assuming that they needed to be shared, we had security tokens that, if used properly, meant we didn't need the passwords at all and each person would have a unique access token for better accountability).

It is moronic to write passwords down and stick them underneath the keyboard.

I feel like I lucked out and bought the right winter coat early on. Or maybe just stepping from one heated building to another doesn't feel that bad. Maybe it's a combination of the two.

Definitely written communication is important. However, I think too much of the discussion is around the negatives of major time zone differences. There's also plenty of benefits

1) Oncall can be split, meaning you no longer have to fear being woken up in the middle of the night

2) Code is being pushed all the time, meaning less chances of merge conflicts and more version control happiness

3) Naturally, your employee base gets more diverse, and thus you'll have more diversity of opinion and better products :)

By your own definition, I wouldn't be able to see or respond to your content since we're likely separated by more than two degrees.
Personally I'd like to go back to an age before social media. It seems social media has had limited substantive success for anyone and has really created more problems than it's worth.

Historically I've avoided expressing my views on abolishment but now people are trying to develop fear-mongering strategies around decentralization, so here I am back at abolition. I'd love to find a happy medium but I don't think it's possible. Social media companies, search companies, national news (who is dependent on social media for income), politicians (who are dependent on social media for likes and shares), and law enforcement working in coordination to do an arbitrarily good thing (disrupt the flow of misinformation) was both eye opening and terrifying. These tools can be used for good but they're also the keystone tools of autocracy and are used largely for reasons that require interpretation and narrative following.

My point is that we don't need these kind of problems. We have space exploration ahead of us, major advancements in technology are still needed, and we need a continuum of people who are willing to work together despite whatever differences they may have ideologically and otherwise. I don't think limiting scope or killing virility will achieve these ends.
I use chrome on android and it seems to work well for me. I don't understand what the issue is with that particular product. In fact I'm struggling to think of a google product I use that feels dated.

There wouldn't be any uproar if they're sold as a cheaper lower spec model. Apple could be stockpiling them for later, having led with the higher performance chips for marketing purposes.

Ask HN: Scene reconstruction from multiple video streams?
I've had this idea for a while that it should be possible to use multiple videos of the same scene to reconstruct a single more detailed model of said scene. Has there been any research that's looked into that? I've tried googling but this isn't my area of expertise and don't know the correct terminology.

Examples: Modelling a room by setting up multiple cameras to capture depth, stitching together multiple handheld recordings of an event into large aspect-ratio footage, and so on.

Is this currently possible without drawing blood? I know little about stuff in this area, but it does seem super useful if a watch was able to do stuff like this especially.
Right. My point was that "PC" was used exclusively for IBM as a marketing term, but it was not the only "personal computer" available. PC became a generalized term much later, although Apple still held on to PC being a term for any computer that was Windows-based (or simply any computer that wasn't a Mac).
Devil's advocate: anything that says Compaq on it is probably e-waste anyway, standards notwithstanding. Being standards-compliant isn't enough to save a machine from the landfill by itself; if those machines can't keep up with users' expectations, they too will end up discarded. Most devices that people throw away are "serviceable" machines. The people who rescue old hardware with linux and put it back into service are extreme outliers.

That's an absolutely terrible idea. For example, I doubt you and I are two degrees away. I would have never seen this.

I doubt I have two degrees of separation from most of the interesting content posted on this site.
Interesting! Obviously I don't have research for this in either direction. I know a lot of people that take daily multivitamins that would still consider themselves to have "cravings".
Poker :) Having a concrete game, where you can track your progress, experience the ups and downs of randomness, control your emotions, etc. etc. is such a great way of focusing on what you can control to win.
The first amendment also protects freedom of association. You don't have a right for people to hear you, but the government doesn't have an unlimited power to restrict your ability to actually reach people.

If government prevents people hearing you speak, that's a pretty serious curb on freedom of association.
Exactly my point. Submit take-down requests and if the site owner does comply, then enforce penalties. But this is not the case we are discussing here. Here the site was sentenced to death regardless of its compliance.

This will be more interesting if they make the results public (are they required to do so?).

>how social media and video streaming services collect, use, track, estimate, or derive personal and demographic information;

Facebook can definitely figure out your race , and the race of who you've dated.

I told this story here before but back in the early days of facebook, I had dated a Korean girl for a brief period of time and then the moment we broke up via facebook messenger, I start getting spammed with ads for dating websites featuring Asian women ( maybe the algorithm wasn't advanced enough to figure out my ex was Korean specifically).

I think a lot of this is just posturing, I don't see Joe Biden being as harsh on social media as Trump has been. This might be a final hurrah against social media as conservatives have been very upset with them lately.
Hardly any of this matters in userspace or device-independent kernel modules, which is what 99% of developers work in.

> I'm still extremely suspicious of all these benchmarks, because they don't seem to correlate with my real-world experience.

Couple that with using the latest and greatest from Apple, alongside the previous Ryzen generation when substantial improvements are happening each generation.

> You may wonder why I used 3900X instead of Ryzen 5000-series CPUs: Because I don't have it.

In addition, 3200MT/s RAM is not adequate for Ryzen because that sets the IF to 1600MHz which leaves a huge amount of performance on the floor, assuming OP enabled XMP at all.

Furthermore, those results are suspect because of OP is (as you pointed out) incorrectly testing single-core performance, Intel should be besting AMD for that generation (only the latest generation is superior across all dimensions).

This is fan-made marketing material.
