That's only because we know in hindsight that it works, though. Phase 1 and 2 trials are important, even though they take time, because there's no guarantee that a vaccine candidate will be safe and effective. See, for example, a couple of Merck candidates that ended up failing [0]. If the Moderna one had been released in March 2020 and injected in millions of people and then they all got sick anyway, it would have been a disaster.

> Today, in Silicon Valley, work life balance has become sacrificing Work for Life - not a balance. Young people want it all - they want to get promoted quickly, achieve economic independence, feel fulfilled at Work, be home early, not miss the Yoga class at 11:00am etc.

He lost me here.

Grouping "young people" -- an entirely arbitrary delineation -- and calling them entitled is typical agist bullshit. Just because one person wants to work like a dog, doesn't mean others who don't are entitled.

Check yourself jerk.

> I don't believe long hours are a badge of honor but I also believe that we have to do whatever it takes to win, even if its on a weekend.

This is the reason why I refuse to work for managers who work outside of business hours AND expect others to be available then too. Working like a dog permeates a toxic work environment where everything is a competition and zero-sum.

For the vast majority of people, work is an avenue to a better work. It's just a job. I think generally the people we consider "successful" worked themselves out. However, there is survivor bias here as well that needs to be called out. For every 1 burned out "successful" workers, there's 99 that failed, and many that probably have some form of trauma.

In reality, in large-corp you can cruise and still be in the top <5% by income and wealth. I have nothing against people who want that as long as they recognize their privilege. I don't call them entitled, I just call them people.

Lastly, I'm glad Noam Bardin wrote this post because it's very indicative of the kind of person he is. I will run far and fast away from every working with him.
They don't do that at all.

Apple needs to get their head out of their asses and fix this before governments do. I will probably own apple devices for the rest of my life, but this kind of behaviour is damaging in the long run. Look at MSFT.

I really hate how submodules are just pointers to specific commits. This forces an update to the superproject every time I update the submodule. Even if I add commits to the submodule, it won't check out the changes until the superproject's pointer is updated.

I just like to develop libraries and the application that uses them at the same time. Whenever I change the library, I want to see the changes in the application immediately.

The only tool I've used that got this right is Python's setuptools. It's got a development mode which essentially replaces the package with a symbolic link to a local repository. Why doesn't git support this?
> Software engineering is unique

There is nothing special about software engineering as a
technical track this way. There is no one way to set up an organization. To a large degree they are how they actually work (i.e. not what's on paper).

This balance has been an issue in managing technical teams for about as long as that has been a thing, which is a lot longer than software has been a thing. There is a fundamental tension though, in that the focus you need to maintain expertise in your field contends with the breadth you need to understand the context well enough to make good decisions.

I suspect the real reason that you don't see more of it in practice is that it's actually really hard to continue to do both well at a very high level, and it's also organizationally hard to do.

Interesting concept.

I tried it out and got the 'We've sent an email to foo@example.com with a confirmation link.' message. It's been about 5 minutes and I still haven't received the confirmation message. You might want to turn some knobs so that the confirmation emails go through sooner.

Or are the confirmation emails similarly intentionally delayed? :)
I said US tech workers are overpaid, not US workers in general. UK tech salaries are a lot closer to other types of office work.
> That's not invalid by itself as long as everyone knows that the game is purely transactional. But it isn't fair to expect employee "passion" when their own continued employment is contingent on whether management thinks they're still necessary.

This still seems to hold no?
Hi, thank you for the great resource, I love the clarity and simplicity without the useless "filler" material to artificially increase a book's number of pages.

I looked up the section on classful networking and CIDR and would like to make one addition that is often overlooked: in classful networking, not only are the network sizes fixed, but also where they reside in the IP address room.

E.g., class A networks used 0.0.0.0 – 127.255.255.255 whereas class C networks used 192.0.0.0 – 223.255.255.255.

With CIDR notation, not only can you have networks of different size, but they can start at arbitrary addresses.

If people talk about a class C network today, they often falsely relate to a network with 256 addresses - but which is located in the address room of original class A/B/D/E networks, for example.
Make the case. I'm fairly dubious of tax incentives generally. The system is so complex, with such an advanced loophole finding culture/industry...

OTOH... IDK anything about VCT/EIS specifically. Any good examples success stories?
If Apple would open up to other apps stores I’d most likely stay with theirs, because I also like value they provide.

But that doesn’t mean I agree with them not allowing other people to make a choice. For me 30% for purchases and having heavily curated store is ok, but others it’s not, and they should be allowed to choose.

If Apple store is truly superior, they won’t have problems staying ahead of competition.
Note that in a way, this is a best case scenario, at least if it happens early.

Extra volatility in the crypto coin market disincentivizes hoarding. So while it might hurt specific companies that over do it, it may prevent an economy wide gridlock where all companies are hoarding coins instead of investing in real production.

In a way, volatility caused by corrections is a natural cure for the bad Nash equilibrium. It's when the correction mechanism stops happening that things can build up into dangerous situations. That's why when governments tried to stabilize gold in the 1930s, preventing it from naturally correcting into a volatile asset, it caused the great depression.

Heads Up: Restriction on SharedArrayBuffers Are Coming in M91
I generally agree with you here, the sun is shining and we software engineers can make some hay! But...I have words of caution. I grew up in Southeastern Michigan. My dad is a Stanford grad mechanical engineer who worked for a Big 3 auto manufacturer, my wife's parents work in auto, and many of my friends families directly or indirectly worked in automotive.

Everything about that seemed secure and stable until our entire world got rekt in 2008. It took forever for the average automotive worker and their family to recover from that recession, and I've come out of it incredibly cynical about employment and the US economic system. When it matters most, DC will bail themselves and their cronies out first, and will drag their feet and cry deficits when it gets time to help you.

I care about doing great work, but my highest priority is to "secure the bag" as the kids say and ensure a stable life for myself and my family. I keep a big cash savings, save and invest aggressively for retirement, and make no assumptions about my employability in a hypothetical time of crisis. I have a feeling a lot of mid-late-20s and early 30s SWEs share my experience, it's no accident I chose such a lucrative field (though I do love my work!).

Watch out for yourself, don't discount the possibility that software eng is just living in a repeat of the irrationally exuberant 1990s automotive industry.

Side note/PS:
It's not all about money: you've got to be politically active, invest in community, and advocate for the kind of world you believe we should live in! Just don't forget to secure yourself financially and make no assumptions if you can afford not to, then you can confidentially support yourself and others in times of crisis.
US, mobile market , ask Apple fanbous about app sales and they will proudly tell you how Apple stores has more sales.
Ask same guys about monopoly and they will then count the entire world, count all computers and dumb-phones and pretend Apple is the little guy.

I fucking can't compete with Apple, say I am a bank/store/club and my customers(not Apple ones) want a mobile app, how can I give the 50% of my customer my app without having to pay Apple , if I try to sell something or put a link to a page of mine for buying subscriptions or stuff Apple will demand a cut(I know they were forced to be less greedy lately).
lol so growth is good no matter if you end up with no digital rights because 'muh freedom'. Got it. Even though there is every indication to suggest that the freedom and liberty being produced isn't absolute and requires not just progress, but ultimately particularity in the landscape (lest you're left with amazon-fed partnership in a surveillance state, an oligopoly of cloud landscape and the elimination of actual property rights since everything becomes leased, and a fed-corpo conglomeracy over just about everything else). So yeah, i guess if I prefer a reasonable outcome, i do have at least that freedom to espouse it. Lame-o.

Microsoft, EA and Ubisoft eventually caved in and offer their games also on Steam.

EGS "exclusives" are usually timed exclusives. You wait half a year or so, and get a more stable, better optimized and usually also cheaper version on Steam too. If you want to play an EGS exclusive game immediately, installing EGS isn't a big deal either.

So far, having multiple competing app stores on PC has been a win both for users and developers. Choice is always a good thing.
Sure, but then you'd have the "config" for a job separate from its implementation. If I'm looking at the code for a job, how do I easily find when it's scheduled to run? If I'm looking at the config database, how do I easily get to the implementation of the job?

Putting aside the feasibility of migrating a large codebase that exists one way or the other, my point here is that these shouldn't be separate tools.
>Probably because Indians are the ones that are leaders in scamming?

I could respond to it but there is not much to be said. I think you have made my point.
I have a feeling that this sort of live video facial analytics will spur the creation of live filters that will mask your actual response.

After all, if your boss might act on what an AI says your reaction is to a conversation they are having with you (such as scepticism, reluctance, disgust, sarcasm, boredom, insincerity, exhaustion, etc.), then you have a strong personal motive to use a solution that adjusts the results of that detection to put your 'best foot forward', or at least that guides you toward projecting the desired affect (IOW, enthusiasm, agreement, sincerity, excitement, alertness, etc. EDIT: eg. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2267298-men-who-are-bad...).

The popularity of adjusting trivial aspects of how you present yourself (ie. background replacement) can probably serve as an indicator for the eventual popularity of filters for more actionable aspects of personal video streams.

In turn, I would then expect filter detection capabilities to gain a foothold.

A nice little adversarial arms-race with the potential for creating a fortune or two, and possibly a significant new non-gaming marketing niche for graphics/AI acceleration hardware.

EDIT 2: Who knows, this sort of functionality (both analytics and filters) might have applicability to other situations too, like negotiations, where a poker-face (or it's opposite) or reading 'tells' could come in handy.

The resending emails after a few years after I unsubscribed happened to me once. I marked it as spam, and it still shows up in my spam folder. It seems like a noble company, but as far as I can tell, they broke US law while spamming me, so I will not lose any sleep over it.
Good feedback! We got a similar request for the title. Gonna look into how we can improve it
The nature of an email newsletter which aggregates third party content is that the only target goal is something opening your email and then enjoying the content enough to click to read more about it.

I don't necessarily like the model, but if this is your business model, then there's nothing else that can be measured to monitor ongoing success apart from:

- how many new users signed up

- how many existing users unsubscribed (or marked as spam)

It's a tough ask getting sponsors based on those two metrics alone.
How can you make text look editable?
It really depends on where you define the threshold for "symptomatic". If reduced lung perforce is a symptom, then it's tautological to say "no damage in the asymptomatic". If your threshold is "feeling bad enough to call emergency services", then there is plenty of room for massive performance loss without ever coming close to that threshold.

People who don't routinely measure athletic performance wouldn't even notice losing the equivalent of an entire lung lobe as long as the loss doesn't come in a very short time.
Spend enough money with Google or MS to convince them that your opinion as an email consumer matters, then make our lives as senders a bit easier. I promise, we will appreciate it.
I think you're missing perhaps the most important value of Wikipedia to the consumer - the content has been subjected to peer-review and open criticism, and then jointly edited by many people with different perspectives. This causes me (as the consumer) to have a high degree of confidence in the information. This will not be true for any blog post, or even any book. A blog post (like a SO answer) can be higher or lower in search results, but the content of that blog post is still just one person's (or one small group's) perspective.

> That's why offloading an employee to another team is usually easier.

At one point I noticed that our team kept getting these incompetent engineers transferred from other parts of the company. At first I was puzzled, especially because my director was completely unphased by this. Then I realized he kept asking a lot of questions in our 1-1s about how X is doing, what X could do to improve, etc. And finally after a few months X would be gone. I think this guy got a reputation as a "cleaner" so our team would get the garbage to get taken out. I always wondered if/what kind of special favors he got in exchange for doing this from his peers...

Journalists are perpetuating "fake news" by talking about Bitcoin's market cap. It is not an equity and it can not be used for real investment, production, or payment of taxes. It is not an equity or claim of ownership. It is also not a commodity, unless "hype" is considered the underlying tangible asset.
Indeed, the problem is scale. Companies like Google and Apple end up employing cheap, low quality labor to review apps and extensions instead of high quality technical personnel.

Bear in mind, if Google and Apple had to compete in this aspect, it's possible users would actually choose and prefer a third party store with better curation. So they'd have an incentive to improve their review processes.
Maybe the majority of users doesn’t care and uses the Play Store. They probably don’t know about F-droid and co.
> Your comment seems to imply that psycho-somatic symptoms are not real symptoms and people who suffer from them are behaving irrationally.

No, I was intending to do exactly the opposite. Sorry that that was unclear. My only point was that the cure is entirely a mental one, not that the suffering is fake. I suspect that you can develop symptoms by being around other people who have the symptoms. That doesn't mean your experiences aren't legitimate. As I said in the comment, I myself have had this experience. In my case it started with imagining things about my past experiences, but quickly turned into a real ordeal for me.

> I assure you that your mother is suffering real symptoms. They are very likely not psycho-somatic.

I agree, and we've tried to help her. She unfortunately has a pretty strong skepticism of traditional medicine and has an extremely unhealthy lifestyle that could more than explain most of her symptoms, but has chosen to micro-focus on the things people on her Facebook feed tell her are her problems. So she says, for example, that she has pain in her gut and gets headaches whenever she eats gluten. This is something she'd never complained of before, and a test for celiac disease turned up nothing. But still she insists. My only explanation is not that she's pretending to suffer, but rather that she's created the gluten intolerance herself. That it's a mental problem. Next time I visit, she'll probably be back to eating bread again, this time totally convinced something else is going on.

Many beautiful women marry rich ugly men they don't love for money. That's not abuse. It's prostituting oneself. I respect these women and men and their decisions. Sometimes sex is business decision.

Trading sex for favors is not automatically abuse.

People trade sex for opportunity because all other tings equal they may get opportunity over someone better. Superstars don't become superstars just because they have unique talents. They are as much or more results of marketing investments. When there are hundreds of equally talented individuals, picking one of them for marketing is more or less random.

When person has opportunity to continue as indie artist or sell their ass for million dollar opportunity, that's just a business deal.

Maybe you misunderstand the original issue. This is when navigating back to a "new" page, not internally in a SPA. But this issue mainly happens when navigating back to a page with dynamic behavior (typically a SPA or other interactive application).

Yes, calculations have been done. Search for "wage theft" and there is bunch of research about this. The US is not alone in this and it's also not a new problem, it's been like this for a while now.

Here's a good starting point: https://www.epi.org/publication/epidemic-wage-theft-costing-...

> If these findings in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles are generalizable to the rest of the U.S. low-wage workforce of 30 million, wage theft is costing workers more than $50 billion a year.

> All of the robberies, burglaries, larcenies, and motor vehicle thefts in the nation cost their victims less than $14 billion in 2012, according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports

> in the United States in 2012, there were 292,074 robberies of all kinds, including bank robberies, residential robberies, convenience store and gas station robberies, and street robberies.3 The total value of the property taken in those crimes was $340,850,358

Worth noting that that report is from 2012. Things are surely worse now.

Edit: Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant. I'm not sure if there is any research around employees slacking off on work time. If there is, it's probably conducted by companies themselves and therefore private.
