Yes. And all stories I know ended up badly.
Can't you right off 55cents a mile?

So if you paid X and you get paid like 25cents mile is that tax free because of the millage deduction? and then if extra fees would be deducted because you can right up to 55cents mile off?

you drive 100 miles that's you make $25 in mileage and another $10 in tips and $20 in time waiting and mileage not paid. so the whole thing is written off. because that's <= 55 cents mile.
Even worse is when you solve the problem in a way they didn't expect or plan on, and they spend the time derailing you off your solution and back to the one they understand.

I had a miserable interview experience once were I gave a tree processing solution in a functional, tail recursive way. They spent the interview sliding me back into a mutable, iterative approach, and it really through me off. Additionally, I don't think they even understood the functional solution. Half the time, it felt like I was needing to guess where they'd like me to go.

And we all know working and software development is nothing like that. At no point in that particular interview was I asked to describe projects I had worked on. When I left, they had no idea what I had even worked on previously because they didn't ask. They just asked a tree question, which someone could look up over an evening or weekend. So pointless.

In reality though, this is a single tweet without any context or follow-up. You have absolutely no clue what happened.

This disconnect seems to be growing globally, be it marketing, technical or legal.

It seems strange considering the wide availability of information and communication, but apparently there either is no feedback loop back to the people who write like that, or there is but it's mostly positive (be it more sales, less lawsuits or a greater following). At some point the meaning of those words will have hollowed out so much that we can't use them in normal conversation anymore.
Actually, hobbyist programmers often create what become competing standards to the ISO track one resulting in low adoption of the ISO standard.
Yea. I'm feeling pretty good about the policy of removing name/location/photos/etc from my profile reviews on applicants. It's an attempt to block some bias inducing factors. (It's not 100%).
> But as a software engineer in the US it is not a worry. Like not at all.

Cool. What about the rest of you, the majority of people who are not in tech? I get the feeling that many Americans don't worry about services as long as they themselves are covered, while many go without.
Amen! Java and C# are too "stiff" to handle many kinds of changes/expansions that say Smalltalk or Lisp would have no problem with. Lambda's and "annotations" are doing many things that objects should be doing so that special additions or inconsistent parts are not needed to plug the holes.

Make blocks of code just be blocks; and how they relate to other blocks be a library or code configuration instead of a block "type" or language construct because types don't handle combinations of traits very well: they like clean hierarchies to work well. But hierarchies are limiting. It's why RDBMS replaced IMS, for example. The same lessons apply to code blocks: hierarchies are too stiff for non-trivial change management.

The scope profile/ranges and "parent pointers" of each block should either be dynamic or configurable just before compiling[1]: "This block has traits X, Y, Z, etc.". A buffet instead of numbered dishes. The boundaries between "object", "class", "lambda", "function", "annotation", etc. should be blurred and mixable. Don't force hierarchical or stiff taxonomies unless you really have to. We've outgrown trees just as we outgrew IMS. Block "types" are an archaic concept that the future will laugh at like they do to go-to oriented code now.

(I'm currently experimenting with a "meta-language" that has TypeScript-like syntax but lets the libraries define how blocks behave instead of the language itself. You can make your own control structures and block types any way you want via just library changes...if things go to plan. Some say, "why not just use Lisp?", but too many find Lisp hard to read. This meta language thus borrows syntactical elements from the C family. Parameter blocks are visually different from code blocks, for example, giving the eyes more cues.)

[1] Or both. Perhaps have "locked" blocks and unlocked blocks that can change their scope/parent configuration during run-time if given permission to do so. But that's Phase II. Phase I should keep it simple until the idea gets road experience in compiled languages.
Nice, sounds like real instruments; did you play all tracks yourself (incl. bass, drums, perc, voices)?
The relevant metric isn't lines but concepts: Which code does it in the fewest new ideas? Generally, that's the best, where "new ideas" would be ideas new to a domain expert. For example, in a video game, each of the specific monster types is an idea someone who is an expert in that game would know. The ideas in the memory management code are new. You can't remove all code relevant to a specific monster without removing that monster, at which point you're no longer implementing the same game, but slimming down the number of new concepts in the memory management code is not directly relevant to gameplay.

In short: Make program logic similar to business logic.
I didn't know about Looker, but my BI needs are modest and Data Studio is free and simple enough.

Looker is a third party solution right? Or does Google offer Looker directly in some way? If you're up for sharing the pricing for looker, I'd be curious (the looker website has a request quote button, so I'm guessing it's not cheap)
The fear is that there will be a powerful in-group that has majority control, not just a single bad actor.

For Musk his bullshitting is still nowhere close to the competitors, who said for a long time that they can manufacture millions of electric cars if they really want to.

When I told my friend about self driving Tesla who's a BMW fan, he said that BMW will just sell self driving cars when it's ready.

Really? Without gathering any data? I'd say BMW is the bigger bullshitter. Elon needs to update the computers maybe, but everything else in the cars is ready for self driving im the near future.
Just hire based on skill / experience and don't not hire someone because they are a minority. Basic fair hiring goes a long way.

If you want more diverse candidates advertise in more diverse places.

To go through some cringe-inducing ordeal is not helpful. People want to be judged based on their skills not skin / gender.
There's nothing wrong with the way the author used the word, although this may be the lesser-common use of the way you're used to.

Some of it is encouraged, in a "Darwinian" sense. Yes, it's very common.
This is a good read, although somewhat depressing.

When you have a topic that has been weaponized politically, as climate change has, people who use that weapon actively work against information they perceive would make the weapon less effective. The author sums it up as follows:

---- from the article:

According to Rayner, in such a context we should expect to see reactions to uncomfortable knowledge that include:

denial -- (that scenarios are off track),

dismissal -- (the scenarios are off track, but it doesn’t matter),

diversion -- (the scenarios are off track, but saying so advances the agenda of those opposed to action) and,

displacement -- (the scenarios are off track but there are perhaps compensating errors elsewhere within scenario assumptions).

---- end include.

Not enough people understand that science is expected to be wrong, and to converge over time to the correct answer. That is is okay to say "We used to think this, but these studies/experiments have shown that understanding to be incorrect. Now we believe this." That is how science works. And sadly when it is politicized, it becomes much harder to have conversations about it.
Domino's runs a business designed around delivery with a delivery-friendly product and runs delivery in-house. UberEats does none of that.
Your theory here is they're purposefully downplaying their level of self-driving technology to avoid regulatory processes?

Are they going to keep winking at customers and letting them think it's level 3 so they continue to take their hands off the steering wheel and do other things like countless Youtube videos already capture?

It's a little disturbing how people will jump through so mental hoops to give Tesla the benefit of the doubt.

I think the better format is to have the interviewee talk through a complex problem that they have already solved, whether it's a side project, a work project they can talk about, or whatever. It balances out the power imbalance, and it showcases how well the interviewee can explain and talk through problems, design decisions, what they learned, what worked, what didn't, etc. through a problem they are already familiar with.

These whiteboarding interviews where the interviewers pose some random question does nothing for either party.
There are enough people that just aren't that sensitive to latency. For reference, look at any console player that doesn't go out of their way to enable PC/game mode on their TVs (HDMI 2.1 with Automatic Low Latency Mode is thankfully changing this) that is going to suffer upwards of 100ms of input latency[1]!

I suppose the value is derived from staking your coins on PoS. There is real opportunity cost associated with locking up assets.
I always thought the best way was to treat those recruiting events as a way to get a more diverse set of candidates on the resume pile. Once they are on the same pile as everyone else, the higher ratios of minorities on the piles will naturally lead to more minority hires (assuming your hiring process is non discriminatory).

(Also, this poignant comment from somebody in the thread, about dreams and code ...

"Last night I had a dream I was an initialized object in C++. It was terrifying. I felt...trapped. Pure quietness. It was dark except for a glowing yellow light far into the distance. Almost like a small star in the sky. It was the unused variable warning from the user's IDE. Then it goes out. I'm still alive. They forgot to free me. I'm just lost memory. Taken up space until the machine shuts off. Then I'm gone forever.")

When fruit is sold loose, people will pick individual fruits up and select them; at the end of the days, there will be much more ruined fruit and general leftover.

I've seen middle grounds where the box itself was made with waxed cardboard (with wrapping). Not sure if this is necessarily better. Only few items I've seen are sold in unwaxed cardboard (and I suppose it depends on the food contained).

I don't know how to calculate which alternative is the least polluting, but it's not obvious at all that lack of wrapping implies less pollution in the big picture.
It seems like there should be some sort of process within these large companies like Google or Twitter to rate limit or even restrict companies that repeatedly abuse DMCA claims in manners such as this. If you do something as absurd as try to claim copyright over the word outstanding and take down Merriam-Webster, there should be some kind of punishment, at least a slap on the wrist.
Yup. That's exactly the issue I was alluding to. Would be great to be able to browse a central location with everyone's visualizations/outputs and then click into it to see the reproducible code that I could run. Maybe even let me run the code in a shared environment so that's it's ultra-reproducible.

> My hot take was that they skydiver maneuver and landing flip would be the hardest part for starship.

I mostly agree with this.

I put both the landing flip maneuver and the heat-shield system on about the same level of difficulty for Starship.

I think they've worked through the hinkiest bits of the landing flip with SN10 (though with some raptor relight stability being potentially a long-ish tail of improving).

I'm curious to see how their heat-shielding mechanism works out. If they can built a heat shield system that works for orbital re-entry and is rapidly refurbishable, I'll be very happy that Starship will be able to meet the extreme goals SpaceX has created for it.

I don't think we care that much about localisation in software. Or rather we're very used to not having it. So as a native I recommend not spending that much effort on it.

A lot of the above will make you fit in better, but some are kind of colloquial and the standard 'international' ones work fine. Nobody will find it unusual if you use 'while', for example, or ask for your 'turn'. True enough though, 'shot', 'band-aid', and probably 'eggplant' will mark you as an outsider. Some of them are also class-based, which is a whole other thing that I'm happy to say Americans suffer much less from.

Also, when in the US, I feel weird calling a band-aid a band-aid because it feels like corporate subservience. A bit like I feel a pang of rebellious disgust when using the word 'hoover' in British company.

> Other OSes could definitely do it.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_Neutral_Distribut...

Using ANDF you could produce portable binaries that would run on any UNIX system, regardless of CPU architecture. It was never commercially released though. I think while it is cool technology the market demand was never really there. For a software vendor, recompiling to support another UNIX isn't that hard; the real hard bit is all the compatibility testing to make sure the product actually works on the new UNIX. ANDF solved the easy part but did nothing about the hard bit. It possibly would even make things worse, because then customers might have just tried running some app on some other UNIX the vendor has never tested, and then complain when it only half worked.

Standards are always going to have implementation bugs, corner cases, ambiguities, undefined behaviour, feature gaps which force you to rely on proprietary extensions, etc. That's where the "hard bit" of portability comes from.
And it costs significantly more to get the exact same egg box from Amazon than from Morrisons... (They have slightly redesigned labels)
Ok, it's mildly funny that that was enough for you to errantly declare 'factually wrong'.

1. 'salary' != 'total comp'. The bonus + stock components are substantial.

2. 'The majority' does not mean 'everyone'. There are def SWEs that have less than EUR150K as total comp, they are just the minority of all SWEs employed.

3. 'total comp' is very strongly affected by performance. High performing engineers at the same level can see a total comp twice what their lesser performing peers get. Looking at only 1 or 2 people can give a very skewed picture versus the real overall data.

4. Recruiter invitations will NOT be for total comp, only salary, because BigTech are careful to avoid any sort of implied contract or commitment for the bonus/stock portion of the comp. This creates a slightly odd dynamic where the recruiters can't talk about the real comp for the position. Given that bonus/stock is such a large fraction of comp it means that people will turn down recruiters in the mistaken belief that the comp is too low (as you apparently did?)

5. Zurich does pay a bit higher but on an absolute scale, it's nothing to do with the exchange rate. (ZRH total comp converted from francs to pounds is still likely to be a bit higher than the equiv London SWE total comp).

There's a pretty standard accepted approach to this for software engineers: your resume might be more likely to make it to the first phone call because of diversity, but you have to go through the same interview loop as everyone else.

The fact that you got the same competence test should be enough. Leave it at "the team thinks you can do the job."

More often than not, snow driving is CHALLENGING. And it's not for a lack of experience, as I'm doing multiple roadtrips through the BC Coquihalla Highway.

The utter HELL being driving at night with a blizzard, this is a level-up experience for sure.

Amazon claims cameras automatically track what you take and put back. But if that's the case, then I'm left confused as to why receipts take so long (15-20 mins+ sometimes) to be generated after leaving the stores?

Is it possible it's actually a manual process of people watching the videos, or more likely identifying what happened at each "take off shelf/put on shelf" point?

They're still just building up the customer base, training data and models and it's not as magical as it all seems?

Thank you for sharing your experience. It helped a lot.

"even the most growth-oriented, forward-thinking startups seem to forget that developers can learn new skills and will tend to strongly prefer that the thing they hired you for is what you keep doing" - it feels so true.

I'll keep in mind your advice about the company when starting to find my next job.
In some jurisdictions (I can only speak for Germany with some authority) if you've made a serious effort to get legal advice on a complicated topic and the legal advice was wrong this will (probably) mean that you're not guilty of a crime caused by the bad legal advice. Civil liability is a different topic obviously.

(But the "probably" is there for a reason: it really does depend on the specific topic at hand and whether you actually tried hard enough to comply with the law)

This is a a lot of words to say running a tech company is hard. Big-Ns are willing to pay people with specialized skills north of 500K, if you want those skills pay up, otherwise find someone who you can pay less that will grow into the role. Get more money from your investors. If you can't do any of those, then I guess you can't afford to run your business.

In my experience in startups, the executive suite is full of people who imagine themselves a future Gates/Jobs/Musk/etc... Well, being that successful is hard.
