On the other hand, plenty of us FAANG/Unicorn engineers would love the skillset of creating AND selling our own B2B skillset. Reversing binary tree is easy, dynamic programming is hella easy, but creating and selling your own B2B project and living as digital nomad? That's the real skill right there.

This is the J&J vaccine, which is not mRNA-based. It's an adenovirus vector vaccine, which is also not gene therapy but is a (tiny) bit closer than an mRNA vaccine.
Here’s the rule from the App Store policies

“If your app includes user-generated content from a web-based service, it may display incidental mature “NSFW” content, provided that the content is hidden by default and only displayed when the user turns it on via your website”

Yeah, I think there's a misunderstanding. Basically, there is no possible way to know by looking at 17-y-o girl at some island party that she has been "sex trafficked". But there is a reason to suspect that a 17-y-o girl is less than 18 by looking...she looks about 17. So it makes sense to consider blaming Minsky for failing on the second thing, but to consider blaming him for the sex trafficking aspect doesn't make any sense at all. Edit: and I should be fair to Minsky's memory, there is no evidence he had sex with the 17-y-o, and significant evidence that he did not.
Probably the same reason why other browsers can't use adblock addons while Safari can or why other browsers had crippled JavaScript performance until recently. Apple is afraid of losing Safari market share, so they're making preferential treatment to it whenever possible.
I think it's okay to track employees while on the clock for certain circumstances but that tracking should cease as soon as they are not on the clock.

An app on a personal phone can violate this way too easily. The tagging system is a good way to do it and limit it to only being on the clock.
FWIW: I don't think I found the canonical source material - I honestly have no idea where to look - but I did find something. Email is in profile...
Tangent: Your 5% guesstimation is wildly off. In the USA alone, assuming 50% of your bonuses go to taxation, your 300k income is going to put you in the top 2% of earners.

Globally, 300k USD income would put you in the top .2%, so you're richer than 998 out of every 1000 other people in the globe.
I'm calling BS here.

It's highly likely that natural infection provides worse protection that vaccination and we have real world evidence that already suggests this.

1. Two exposures to the spike protein are likely to create a much better long term immune response simply because of multiple exposures in a short period of time.

2. The spike protein produced by the mRNA and J&J vaccines is engineered to produce better response against variants.

3. We've already seen evidence of natural infection performing poorly in rural parts of Brazil with very high initial infection rates (> 70% which is near the herd immunity threshold) like Manaus where we're seeing significant evidence of reinfection where it should be have been difficult for COVID to spread.

If you don't touch type, or if you already type at a fairly high WPM rate, then no, an optimized layout doesn't really matter.

Personally, I have been learning to touch type and used the opportunity to use an optimized layout. I have recovered almost all the speed of non-blind Qwerty within a month and plan to stay.

Not being able to use it everywhere is not a drawback to me. For those rare events where I cannot use it, I still have more than enough muscle memory for Qwerty.

Agreed, mostly.

I used the Dvorak-Command-QWERTY layout on macOS for a long time, it's Dvorak but flips back to QWERTY when you hold Command so that most shortcuts are in the same physical position.

After getting a programmable split keyboard it became too much work to get a similar thing to work so I decided to switch shortcuts to where they should be.

It's been... ok. The positions of shortcuts definitely encode something that you lose, copy/paste not being next to each other is slightly annoying, and not to mention that some shortcuts move in such a way that the failure mode of getting the shortcut wrong is really bad (e.g. Cmd+, for preferences, get it wrong and you Cmd+W which closes the active window).

I'm glad I've switched, but I'm also glad that I didn't switch my shortcuts at the same time that I switched to Dvorak, I think it could have been enough to put me off. Or I guess it might have been easier to do it all at once!

One thing that is annoying with the hybrid approach is some software just doesn't support it (I'm looking at you JetBrains, with your 10 year old issue on your issue tracker).
For me the efficiency gains were not the point. The point was that changing to Dvorak massively decreased by RSI (although 20 years later I'm discovering that bodyweight strength training may have been even more effective).

Not readily having the preferred layout available is a non-issue. Either I'm using a keyboard for less than ten minutes, in which case I hunt-and-peck on QWERTY, or I'm using it for longer, in which case I switch to Dvorak using the OS keyboard settings. It's never been a problem on Windows or Linux. I don't think I've used a Mac during that period but I imagine it's equally easy.

As I recall the awkward learning period was between a week and a month. Twenty years later I've never regretted the time invested.
Colemak user since I taught myself one summer (2012) by spending the first 20 minutes after waking up typing in vim-tutor. I made the switch because I could not stop looking at the keys on QWERTY keyboards no matter what I tried even with blank keys I would look down out of habit. I tried Dvorak and it felt so unnatural. The common key letters for commands were completely in foreign places that I could not get used to at all. After 2 wks of barely getting past 30 wpm on Dvorak I switched to colemak I was able to beat my QWERTY typing speed after only 2 wks of studying and now I can type 200+ words per minutes with over 90% accuracy thinking about spelling slows be down more than anything else.

If you are under 30 I suggest you give an alt keyboard layout a shot. Older than that and the time to learn Colemak/Dvorak vs just improving your QWERTY speed/accuracy might not be worth it.

Isn't it trucks being tracked, not the drivers? I don't anything about that industry but I can't imagine the drivers are made to carry tracking devices.
I don't see this as having anything to do with a startup failure. It sounds like burnout led to a lack of a desire to really put effort into preparing for interviews. If you don't know how to work with binary trees, go learn it. Frankly, a self-taught dev who then complains that their own self-teaching missed a topic is a red flag.

This is a good read... and does show some struggles people can have. I just think it misidentified the root cause of the problems.
> for instance truck drivers are being tracked routinely and nobody makes a big fuss about that

Truck drivers and their families did and still do make a fuss about it. It's just not something that the media or wider culture has cared about.

> Can't you still spread covid if you are vaccinated? Don't you still have to wear a mask and social distance?

There's been jumbled messaging on this.

The "you still need to wear a mask" thing was, if you dig in on the actual statements instead of the media headlines, "because we don't know yet". An abundance of caution.

Since then, we've gotten quite a bit of good data on that front.

Alternately, the company hired Mary-the-cleaner at $16.40 an hour, and is now asking for Mary-and-her-phone at the same rate. Which puts the responsibility on the company to provide the device they want her to use while she is working.
In my case it wasn't MSFT,but still one of the largest companies in the sector we were operating in. We went from 500 people scattered around major cities in Europe to 5000 people and managed by the Americans.

It was quite a change, to say the least, and as it often happens, everybody got told nothing would change.I was having a hard time to believe it.

We went from Swiss management to American management. The cultural differences are huge. For instance,the Swiss,no matter how high up in the food chain, would pop in to our London office and handshake with every single person in the office. The Americans never spoke to anyone but the local managing director. The Swiss were casual, somewhat even relaxed,the Americans made it understand they own the place and were ready to squeeze even a stone if that'd make extra money.

The comp was shit in both companies,so hardly any changes there.

The tech side was much more superior at the mothership,so migrations were needed. What was supposed to be a quick, one month job,turned into half a year nightmare with no good result afterall.

The worst part was weekly corporate emails with so much jargon and corporate bs that it was even difficult to read or make sense of it.

I quit shortly after the acquisition and would do the same in any other company if I would find out thet it's being acquired.
I have come to totally agree with this. The leetcode interview process actually disadvantages experienced professionals and advantages inexperienced upstarts with time to study.

> I'd be thrilled to work for

There's the key. Their marketing has convinced millions of current and future devs that they are the best places to work for; that they are worth doing silly things for just to work there.

The problem is that many of their "wins" are from decades ago (or more). Today, for Google at least, you can't even choose what you'll be working on. You'll be tossed wherever they think they need you. Even the best new hires won't make it to the largest salaries (dominated by veterans) and won't get to spend their 20% time (if they even get it) on the next gmail.

The best advice I can offer, about two decades into my career, is to stop chasing the shiny marketing material. They'll burn you out and replace you without blinking.

Almost every non-family owned business now hires developers (and data scientists), some for very good salaries in places where you're not paying thousands of dollars monthly to be someone's roommate.

I2C is not a wired network standard! It's designed to be used between chips on the same PCB, typically with the same power supply rail (although level shifters are available) and the same ground reference plane. Yes, ground planes matter for best performance.

Breakout boards are meant for a quick test. Then you're supposed to design a PCB with the devices you need all in one place. SparkFun spaghetti will only end in tears.

The other thing that sucks about I2C is that you never know what hard-coded addresses you will be limited to, until you've selected all your parts, dug into the datasheets and then discovered the inevitable collisions.

In 20 years of PCB design I think the largest number of I2C devices I've had on one bus is maybe 30? And that was pushing it.
It also means when you do have problems you can seek help and talk openly about them instead of diving further down the hole, afraid of getting caught.

With illegality there's no hope. With legalisation there's at least a shimmer of it.
Strange. I find myself more persuaded by the creative benefits of a little artistic starvation.

Do you have any data to support anything you said here? The middle class has been getting decimated the past 20 years. They used to live comfortably on a single income, now both parents slave the week away and have even less purchasing power.

Also, housing prices aren't "out of control" at all. Inflation is reducing the value of the dollar, and it's showing up in the real estate market. Inflation hurts anyone on a salary, not people with income dependent on assets that appreciate alongside inflation.

Also, the they in the "waste they produce" is referencing the richest business owners. They are reaping the benefits of the production processes and leaving everyone else with the pollution.

The root cause of all these things is the upper class either feeding on or taking advantage of the middle and lower classes. "Inequality" is just a term used as a window to look between the different classes.
Privacy aside, connecting private Google account to the corporate one is sooo extreme move nowadays, for both sides.

I'm just amazed that the threshold in the proposal is as high as $50M, meaning it only affects what I would call the super-rich.

> you’d do your homework first and then come to the table with "35% of our [insert some key metric here] are caused by the lack of X functionality"

Tangential, how do you decide whether to collect a new metric? Use data-driven thinking? But how, you don't have data until you invest in building that collector.
Your deficiency is that you're not a time traveller. You can't know what the long term consequences are no matter how many studies you do, until the long term has come to pass.

You can however guess, and make good guesses (I'm planning on getting the vaccine). But it does no one any good to fail to outline unknowns that are steelmanned by "we can't possibly know".
I think this is a pretty incredible move. I went through Lambda's full-stack program part-time, but I would definitely say it leans more front-end heavy. This will be great for those that really want to focus on the back-end development.

One of the non-obvious challenges with doing a startup is that the majority of your work is spent slogging through boring, non-complicated tasks.

You’re simultaneously doing some of the hardest work of your life but also watching some of your skills atrophy simply because you’re spread so thing across so many different problems.

Startup founders tend to make good product managers or cross-discipline engineering managers for this reason, but it can take some time to slide back into the groove of deep technical work in specific domains.
Spending time working on "how to reverse a binary tree" and "how to find the shortest path in a multi-dimensional array" are not soft skills. It's learning how to handle highly specific theoretical CS questions.
As a counterpoint, my ability to type on Qwerty is shot now that I am on Dvorak. I'm back to searching around on the keyboard with my eyes and tapping with single fingers.

If you type at 90% accuracy, do you go back through your text to fix all the typos or do rely on some kind of automation to do that for you? I don't type particularly fast, but every time I tried increasing my speed my accuracy suffers sufficiently that going back and correcting mistakes takes more time than typing a bit slower.
Does anybody have recommendations for a layout that works well for a split keyboard (Moonlander, in my case, as and when it arrives)? Learning a split configuration will require work, so may as well learn a better layout at the same time.
Slightly tangential, but the British Museum in London runs sleepovers [1] for eight- to 15-year-olds, including in the Egyptian gallery so that the guests can "sleep among ancient kings, pharaohs, temples and tombs". Sadly, these are suspended

I"m a pretty strong advocate for legalization.

The most concise counterpoint would be that addiction is not really hampered by criminalization, outside of edge cases like Singapore which is an island. Criminalization doesn't create less addicts it just creates more addicts in jail. Criminalization is also not zero sum, b/c it comes with all the issues of black markets, issues with the police who need extra power to enforce these laws.

Treatment does create less addicts, but less people will be addicted if you fix problems in society in the first place. Which are the real issue. In this example Iraq doesn't have a meth problem because meth is the problem, Iraq has a meth problem because of mass poverty.

EDIT: Also look at alcohol prohibition for what happens when you create a white market out of a black market. Lower potency products, that are safer and actually productive for society.
