Talk about a strawman. Are there some people who might have complained for dumb reasons? Sure. Are there more people would would have complained because they don't want their residential neighborhood to:

- be filled with thrash

- smell like burning rubber

- violate noise ordinances

every single Sunday? Yes. Most middle-aged people do not want to live in such an environment, and neither do I. This is exactly why residential zoning laws exist, and most people support some form of restrictions in residential neighborhoods. Not sure what there is to be skeptical about.
Not to take anything away from seeing a bald eagle, but for a lot of children that live in the city, seeing regular livestock like a cow in person is a rare thing. The same could be said for the night sky. It's all a matter of vantage. You can see lots of things as photographs on websites in great detail, but the first time you see that same thing in real life with your own eyes even if it is in less detail, it is an experience one doesn't forget.

I am writing this reply in Firefox. However, there are websites that only work in Google Chrome and a bunch of other smaller reasons that I still would like to use Chrome for.

Great question and I should have been more precise. I joined the company in October, so yes at the beginning it makes sense to have a lot of meetings to get onboarded.

I used to work in a company where asynchronous communication were heavily used. Here it's the opposite.

I started to discuss with my manager but unfortunately he seems to have not enough power to change the situation. It seems it is a cultural thing in the company...
I think the expectation is that spez (and, ideally every other Reddit employee) would not have credentials to the prod database. Definitely not _write_ credentials.

"If the people who came before me--those who taught me the game of avoiding rms--had spoken up, the community could have healed before I even came on the scene. If I and others had stood up fifteen years ago, we'd have another couple generations who were more used to respect, inclusion, welcoming and safety. The FSF board could have done their job back in 2018. And perhaps if more of us had spoken out in 2019, the FSF board would have found the strength to stand strong and not accept rms's return."

You can sleep a _little_ better: the narrative around this ended up being focused around TSMC, but it's simply because that's the most visible part of the chain, they're first to a new node and all the newest gadgets need the newest node, so all the newest gadgets are on TSMC. They're not solely responsible for like 90% of chips or anything.
Hi. Indeed, it's far from perfect. We haven't had time to work on the offline/sync yet. You need to reload to get the new state. It's on the roadmap. Will be done soon.
> Maybe we're just really bad at interviews? It probably doesn't help that management here is almost entirely non-technical. There's usually a developer or two sitting in on the interview to try and balance it out, but I don't think any of us would consider ourselves particularly good at interviewing people.

This seems to be the issue, in fact it's quite baffling to me. If you are interviewing for a technical role, why would you not perform a technical interview led by technical staff?

I'm not saying the other stuff is not important as well, but this reads to me like you are essentially leaving the core of the role out of the interview (I'm not sure what "usually a developer or two are sitting in as well" means).
I highly recommend you to read Linear Technology AN104 - Load Transient Response Testing for Voltage Regulators [0] to understand the staggering challenge in hardware engineering to design an acceptable voltage regulator for digital processors. Even though it describes 2006's tech for a simple embedded system - it's basically a toy today, but makes a good example.

The problem is transient response. The power consumption of digital processors varies wildly. For example, if a processor suddenly switches from an idle to active state, a sudden increase of current consumption makes the voltage to fall, until the regulator is able to react by conducting more power, hopefully fast and smooth enough before the processor crashes, on the scale of microseconds or even nanoseconds. This is not a trivial problem. Inductance is another problem - in any closed circuit, every piece of conductor has the tendency to resist the change of current, which means even if the regulator itself is ideal, if it's too far from the processor, it's physically impossible to react fast enough before the output voltage goes out of control, thus all ASIC requires local regulation, and the end result is extremely sensitive to board layouts and components choices.

This note describes how to build a "simulator" to test such transient currents and analyzes various circuits for this purpose - not very readable and you can just ignore this part. Just read page 1, then start reading page 6 ("Capacitor’s Role in Regulator Response") for some actual tests. Page 8 has a practical example: testing a power supply for Intel P30 Embedded Memory.

> supply tolerances are tight. Figure 26’s error budget shows only 0.1 V allowable excursion from 1.8 V, including all DC and dynamic errors. The LTC1844-1.8 regulator has a 1.75% initial tolerance (31.5 mV), leaving only a 68.5 mV dynamic error allowance.

2020 PC hardware is at least two orders of magnitude more complex than that. A simple example can be Altera Corporation AN 574: Printed Circuit Board Power Delivery Network Design Methodology for an FPGA - every single component connected to the power supply (and the circuit board itself) must be modeled and simulated as a resonant circuit with complicated frequency response and impedance characteristics [1].

> Making a cheap 400A connector might be somewhat difficult, but not impossible.

It will be, I dare you to do.

Inductance will be a problem. GPU makers are already having troubles with inductance VRM directly near the chip.

> Now, the voltage regulation is pretty darn standard.

Saying this, take a look on A100

No VRM in a conventional sense. It's a fancy HF DC-DC with transformator!
If you have an app that is hidden under other windows, you have to use the overview or alt+tab to bring it to the front.

However, often we don't need to do that because GNOME encourages us to spread our windows over several workspaces. The animation for switching workspaces is practically instantaneous.
I used Pandoc to make the conversion. Lyx has also an option to export to HTML but I was not satisfied with the result.
You may get a Soviet Union's relatively peaceful breakup if you follow Soviet Union's relatively gradual transition from power. It's not a given, even the Soviets had their 1991 coup attempt.

Also, it's not like Soviet Union's breakup didn't leave any problems. Post-breakup Russia has a track record of military conflicts - Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine. Post-breakup Belarus fell back to dictatorship.

I don't think we have a reliable recipe for low-harm transitioning away from authoritarian regimes.
My employer is talking about having a core set of days where everyone is onsite and then a few days where you can wfh. I like that, it avoids losing my desk and wondering if someone is in on a certain day.
This seems as good a time/place as any to remind everyone that the sound an eagle makes isn't the screech Hollywood has made you believe it is (that's a red-tailed hawk). It's actually relatively non-macho (for a superpower's mascot anyway) and sounds like it's laughing.

There are now bald eagles around here in Nashville. I have never seen one in the wild before until recently. It might not be a good thing, if I'm being honest.
Well, given that that's what macOS Big Sur has done, it's a dead cert. You no longer get a file picker dialog by default when saving, but a place where you can type a name and a label that says where saving will happen.
MBA hate here is ridiculous.

Blaming MBAs for how companies behave is like blaming people with software engineering degree for writing buggy code. Not having people with MBA degree won’t magically make your company better, same as employing developers without a diploma won’t magically make your product more stable.
I read "commercial" as "proprietary."
Agreed it’s very shallow backwards logic that will only cause issues when an actual Gnome 4.0 is released. The irrationality will have to be fought similar to Iphone by using “Gnome 3.40” when discussing it.
I like the article overall but I'm not sold on the passion ethos section as it was written.

The author hints that they wouldn't want a surgeon who is passionate because they should be making rational decisions.

But IMO passion isn't all about making an on the spot emotional decision without thinking things through. It's about their willingness to continue learning and advancing their craft because they have the motivation and passion to do so without getting burnt out. They do it because deep down it's truly what they love doing.

So in the surgeon example, would you rather want the surgeon who clocks in and out for the day and that's it while doing the bare minimum to keep their license? Or the surgeon who puts in similar hours but also decides to speak at conferences / universities afterwards and is keeping up with everything while evolving their practice? Perhaps they do more work (surgeries), but not putting in more hours. Maybe they specialize in 1 thing and then just crank that out continuously to become an expert in their field.

If given the choice I'd go for the more passionate surgeon every time.
From what I've noticed it is a problem across the orgs. But if my team and myself can at least find a solution to avoid this overdose of meetings it would be great!

I really wanted to like it, and the adblock story was good, but it did something wrong with some async js code, and sites like reddit would stop the world to wait until some tracker would time out (likely due to the adblock). This was a poor experience, to say the least.

Like what is stated elsewhere, when my wife wasn't working, we were on the ACA exchange. She's now working for fun again at a company that offers it as a benefit and so I'm on hers as it's a slightly better plan at a similar price to an unsubsidized ACA plan.
This makes sense, honestly.

'Buying a lambo' was often memed as one of the ways to show you 'made it' with a cryptocurrency investment.

Tesla competes with Lamborghini in selling expensive status cars, especially with some of Tesla's higher-end models.

There are a sizable number of cryptocurrency investors with sudden wealth and disposable income. Bitcoin investors may be more inclined to buy from Tesla if they believe it's also helping nurture the bitcoin ecosystem.
It's not that they loved writing Javascript on the frontend, it's that they can't write anything else on the front end. So why use two languages when one will do?

He is right, sigh, in his meandering rant (as a CPA) that you could argue accounting has wandered a bit.

The SEC clamping down on "non-GAAP" KPIs (even though a Nobel was won for the concept) represents that tension. Further there's a professor at HBS and I believe he argues certain network effect heavy tech companies they have negative depreciation (book value incrases with scale and time, versus say anything else which almost universally declines or at best stays flat). Negative depreciation implies the current tech P/Es are more sensigle, which in and of itself is an interesting phenomenon that arises from the professors work.

So the author is dabbling near some interesting currents, but unfortunately missed the mark here.
Coke was a business success because they're probably the best-tasting cola when you've already drank at least half of a can.

Lots of other soda makers, especially the bargain-bin "generic store brand" stuff, taste pretty gross after a can or two, by comparison. Pepsi's alright in that department, but this is a huge market differentiator for Coke.

I find it best to NOT pair program by default, ever. To date I haven't met a good developer that doesn't degrade in performance when being watched.

For Junior developers if helps, mainly because the most experienced developer can explain the coding mindset and codebase gotchas.

Having said that for rapid prototyping things that require a lot of knowledge in different domains, getting two SMEs in one room writing code without interruption can work well...for me. You can't force it, you can't mandate it, you can't expect it. Developers would do it themselves.

In my case, if I want to work on something complex and new, and I know part of the domain but not all of it, having someone that knows the other side can make things go much much faster. Replicating or adding little features I need to be left alone and just do the work.
Being a little bit pedantic here, but isn't all evidence, for something that can't be proven mathematically or definitionally, circumstantial?
I would like to thank the Gnome community for this release! I can't wait to upgrade to Fedora 34 to use it.

I use Mac OS daily on my work computer and Gnome daily on my personal computer. Yes, I know there are a lot of Linux open source applications that are not very polished, but the quality in Gnome and its core applications is extremely high. There are even some things that Gnome does better than Mac OS.

Now, you might not like Gnome and that's perfectly fine. Fortunately, Linux is the land of choice and there is an alternative for every person. It baffles me to come here and read so much negativity! Come on! this is a big milestone for a community that has been working a lot to bring you something of quality for free! They have been doing this for decades already and they have put a lot of effort and love into this. How many open source projects fail to abandonment after just a few months?

Why is it that so many people in internet communities such as HN can't take a minute to appreciate the effort and instead the only thing that they are motivated to do is to nit-pick something and trash. Criticism is always welcome, there are even some appropriate channels to do it, but seriously why is this the only thing that you are able to say about a community driven product? Why is there only space for negativity? Why not a small "thanks" or "I liked that feature" before your criticism? They are bringing this thing for you for free, why can't you at least say something nice?
I suspect they are circling wagons and presenting a united front but this person will be fired or "resign" in the next day or so. She must not have told them about her history. You would think a network savvy company like Reddit would have HR department that can do a google search on someone's name though.
I meant content that is legal.
Yeah, dead-on. Like "The right to be rude"[0], a year old events when Eric S. Raymond - co-founder of OSI - was kicked off from the OSI mailing list.

(Back then someone suggested adding a "we-don't-like-them" clause to Free licenses which prohibits the use of Free software by "bad people or bad companies" (e.g. the US Migration Service for its policy towards migrants). ESR pointed out a violation of paragraphs 5 and 6 of the Open Source Definition: "No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups", "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor" in his usual way of communicating and... Well, you know how it's ended up)

If I'm reading their survey correctly, those states have relatively few bald eagles. The reason I checked is that I also remember seeing them often in SD, but was never sure if it was a bald eagle or my parents didn't know/were lying to me. I'm still unsure, they exist but I've never seen a flock like that picture posted here.
I really appreciate your attitude. And I agree with you.

Allow me, however, to go one step further. You're 'working' class. You're not 'lower' than anybody else.
I've gotten lured into the inheritance stuff and it's super nice at the very, very beginning and becomes a nightmare to maintain. Obviously a horrible tradeoff for software.

I've found that having a class/function as a parameter and explicitly listing the classes/functions that get tested is a small step back and way easier to maintain and read. It sets off some DRY alarms, cause usually that whole list is just "subclasses of X". And it seems like burden to update. "So if I make a new subclass, I have to add it everywhere?". Yes. Yes you do. Familiarity with the test suite is table stakes for development. You'll need to add your class name to like ten lists, and get 90% coverage for your work, then write a few tests about what's special about your class. When something breaks, you'll know exactly what's being tested. And you'll be able to opt out a class from that test with one keystroke.

That being said… I still have a dream of writing a library for generating tests for things that inherit from collections.abc. Something like “oh, you made a MutableSequence? let’s test it works like a list except where you opt-out.”

Yes, this will uwuify your text at high speeds. It reached 2.3 GB/s on my 8-core macbook pro, while uwu-ing the first 1 GB of english Wikipedia. This Rust command-line tool takes advantage of SSE4.1 SIMD vectorization and multithreading (exploit all your CPU cores for this!) to be almost as fast as simply copying a file. Installing it is simply cargo install uwuify, assuming you already have Rust installed. It is on crate.io too: https://crates.io/crates/uwuify

In case you don't know what uwu'd text looks like, here's an example:

hey... i think i w-weawwy wuv you. (⑅˘꒳˘) d-do you want a headpat?
Until recently there was a music+engineering+social issues festival called Moogfest. I got to go twice, and it had been one of my greatest pleasures as an adult. Lots of synth music, technical classes during the day about synthesizers and other electronic and music topics, and then a bunch of social issue events hosted as well such as discussions of Afro-futurism.

Anyway, it died due to mismanagement, but talk about geek heaven. Would love to see such a broad event again sometime.
Same here, my last day will be on May 7th! Let the happiness ensue! I have around 45 years of living expenses saved up, so it will be a REALLY long time till I need a job again.
