well, these are the kinds of questions that I hate getting when I am interviewing, so I guess it seems fair to turn it about on the company. Maybe should also ask stuff like - what is your company's greatest weakness or maybe if I am interviewing at another company that is offering me the same salary and benefits as you for the exact same job but they are right across the street from where I live why should I take the job with you.

I mean I think these questions are the kind that irritate me, so I think somehow they would irritate the person interviewing me if I asked them. I guess I might still ask them if I had already decided I didn't want to work there, but it also seems a bit rude.

I need to look into MSIX. MSI has been handling my needs for awhile now but I hear MSIX is really nice. Thanks for the nudge to look in that direction.
In reality homebrew is a third-party crutch to make a broken system more palatable for developers.

To my knowledge homebrew hasn't received one cent from Apple, yet most of the developers who use Macs use it. Yet, Homebrew is probably directly responsible for driving a significant amount of sales to Apple.
Neither. I'm asking for evidence that this phenomena would have materially moved the result. I'm willing to believe that 5% of people cast a vote here contrary to their opinions (though that feels high). Even so, the results likely don't shift materially.
The govt action is the shitty way out. This all is a classic there is not enough to go around situation. Govt regulation will make it more entrenched and "manageable".

The best outcome is to come up with a fundamentally better business model. Something that satisfies seller's desire to promote their products and customers desire to feel respected and important. Preferably cutting out a middleman and reducing costs of doing business at the same time.
> I allow my boss to be very demanding. Want me to take an important customer call during holidays? Sure, I can convince my wife to allow that. Want me to work a week in a different timezone? Let me check first, but should be doable.

That's a really hot take. That shows that the company is very fickle and very bad about planning.

And frankly, I'm not going to shed a tear if they badly planned a business meeting on my vacation and then expect me to attend.

Now, given my position, I specialize in "accidents" or the recovery of. I get paid well for that. And I can decide when and what my schedule looks like. Outside of that and the appropriate pay for that skill, I expect my hours to be stable and consistent. In exchange, I will deliver consistently and stably and get money for that.

Tl;dr. Touching my hours (aside real unplanned disasters) IS touching my compensation, and you will not do this without appropriate offsets.
Your comment emphasises what you call the first 50 minutes, which you characterise as a difficult, imbalanced ordeal.

But the article is about what you call the 5 minutes at the end, and how to make it work in your favour. If you ignore that opportunity, your experience will only be worse.
I believe that you can trigger this with the forward-slash key, and close the bar with Enter, if you prefer not to have every keypress trigger a search.

If you get an offer, it’s reasonable to ask the hiring manager to meet for a coffee and discuss some of this stuff before accepting. They might try to sell you on the role a bit but you can get answers to these questions, and if they refuse to meet you that’s a signal in and of itself.
There is something called personal responsibility that most people believe in. We aren’t children. You could ask that question about literally anything that you buy that could potential kill you.
Indeed, Apple's been at the forefront here. It's why I'm low key okay with the WebKit monopoly requirement on iOS, everyone has to deal with it.

And the other minority browsers are also on board now. Edge and Brave and such are also preferring privacy-friendly default configurations.
This is a lot of companies, but this is not every company. Yes, they probably can't get into specifics with avoid harming worker privacy, but if they have to spend their time obfuscating their culture, I probably don't want to work with them.

At this point in my career, as I'm looking for senior roles in internal development, I'm interviewing the company as much as they're interviewing me. If I have to take over major development projects and architecting, I need to know what I'm walking into. If they aren't comfortable answering questions, I don't need to work there.

Recently I interviewed for a senior position at a development company, and their CTO seemed miffed by fairly straight forward questions about their history and practices. I didn't get a third interview, but I also see they've now made a posting for that same job a 3rd time, so it doesn't seem like that strategy is working out for them. If you want senior developers to lead, you have to be honest with them about what they're leading.
Because autopilot has nothing to do with the crash. You're supposed to pay attention and take over at any time.

Why does anyone drive any car when the manufacturer isn't liable for mechanical failures that could cause a crash? I'm much more worried about a suspension part failing and my wheel flying off than autopilot doing something dumb.
Didn't mean to be daft. It's a word with lots wrapped up in it. 100% clean is a better term IMHO.
I'm not sure what you mean. I was dangerous to myself, yes. So then the car pulled over and started to gradually stop on the shoulder. And then it would not let me re-enable the autopilot because I couldn't be trusted.

Not sure where endangering other people comes in. If there was someone standing on the shoulder of the highway it would avoid them obviously.

I feel the same. Just talking the time to search and leave no stone unturned makes so many things much easier.

Having repeatedly benchmarked my own rust builds I've found that the majority of time is spent linking. There are promising projects to improve that by an order of magnitude.

> I think the long compilation times will continue to get worse

No, it's more likely they'll get better - that has been the trend, and as I mentioned there are projects in the works that can likely cut the compile times in half.
Good joke. A retail worker outbidding a tourist who is prepared to spend a few hundreds on hotels for their yearly one week trip.

Your strategy will only kill cities. Nobody but tourists and the very rich would be able to live there. Then the tourists would stop coming because everything is dirty and nobody sells anything, and then the city is dead.
Oh that does look quite interesting, I hadn't heard of that. Thanks for the tip.

As you say, it only does the 'host lambdas locally' bit though. If you wanted to do stuff like test the interactions between lambdas, or test them over HTTP (for lambdas that act as components in REST APIs), you'd need to build something yourself.
FLoC exists to group users down into behavioral targeting categories, it should be obvious that some of those will end up corresponding to gender or race or other traits that are protected statuses. We've repeatedly had incidents where big companies were caught accidentally letting (for example) landlords filter advertisements by race or recruiters filter listings by age, both of which are illegal.
Urban planning has long been closely intertwined with public health, though disease prevention gets the lion's share of the press.

Before life got in the way, I wanted to be an urban planner. So I've heard this a lot over the years.

Here are a few excerpts from a piece by the CDC:

Urban planning and public health have been intertwined for most of their histories.

During the middle of the 20th century, the disciplines drifted apart, to a certain extent because of their success in limiting health and safety risks caused by inappropriate mixing of land uses.

The disciplines recently have begun to reintegrate. During the last 20 years, shared concerns have included transportation planning to improve air quality, encourage physical activity, prevent injuries, and promote wellness.

I’m wondering how often does Elon Musk use autopilot? If he does not do that all the time, users should not either; if he does, I’m worried about him and Tesla share holders.

To make driving more relaxing.

Instead of actively driving you switch to be a driving supervisor instead.

Think about it as a really advance cruise control.

Autopilot doesn't mean it won't crash, thats absurd.
> Even if you wanted to use another mode of transport it's often impossible if you live in the suburbs / exurbs.

I grew up in the US suburbs (in an area with some of the hottest and most humid weather in the country) and it has all the problems you mentioned. However, I have made it to age 40 without ever driving a car. How? By not ever driving a car.

Many people love the idea of biking/walking but they seem to love making excuses for not biking and not walking even more. Yes, it’s a risk. Many things are but people do them anyway. Yes, it’s inconvenient but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done.

There is just so much vaguery here that's all based on a false premise.

A machine that can accelerate your adult weight up 12 MPH. And has a grippy surface for you to run on it. Will ALWAYS be too dangerous to EVER leave your kids near it and you are NEGLIGENT if you allow them to be near it.

I never said it can't be safer, but it can not, by it's very intended purpose ever be safe enough to let kids be near it

This feels like kids found a loaded gun and instead of talking about how to deny access to the gun we can make the gun safer. Sure you can make it safer, but the root issue is the access because it is a naturally dangerous object.

It's as simple as that. We can spitball all the imaginary mitigations until the thing has a 3 x 3 exposed square for your feet and it will still be too dangerous for kids to be near.
how would they do that practically? would require a huge surveillance state with constant monitoring to make sure you’re not mining on non allowed power

The crypto world has moved way past bitcoin, that’s just what the media likes to talk about - there are stablecoins 1:1 tied to US dollar, what if you could use those, sidestepping the whole credit card/bank etc industry?

That’s of course still tied to the money policy controlled by Fed - the trend in the latest few months is coming up with a coin that is by design stable and therefore useful as a day-to-day currency, but the supply is controlled by a DAO.

I'm experiencing a weird Baader Meinhof Phenomenon variant right now...I just started reading 2666, which concerns itself with (among other things) a mysterious German novelist in Mexico. Very odd to see this story here right now.
This is so bad. The premise is "Avoid cliche questions by asking these cliche questions". There's nothing here that forces real answers out of the manager.
Yeah, I've heard of PARAKEET, and imagine concerns are quite similar to FLoC. Thankfully, Microsoft doesn't have the capability to push web standards, so as long as Google doesn't adopt it, we are good there. =)

> “We assume it’s a great thing that Backpage closed down,” Stefanie Jeffers said. “And it is, because it’s horrible that Backpage existed and so much trafficking occurred through the users of Backpage. But I do think that it comes with its dangers too.”

> Jeffers, the founder of the nonprofit Grit Into Grace, works with women who are engaged in street prostitution in Indianapolis to help them get out of the life. She says Backpage’s closure came as a shock to the women she talked to.

I don't get why you're hung up on whether TechDirt is reputable or not, just read the actual article?
Probably more dangerous than a Peloton threadmill.
Not getting a chance to ask these questions is only the fault of the interviewee. There's a shortage of engineers, and finding good people is hard. If you don't have enough time to ask these questions in an interview loop, and the company tells you they'd like to make you an offer, if you follow up with "I'm excited about this opportunity, but I'd like to chat with the hiring manager or someone from the team for half an hour before we move forward," the recruiter/coordinator will almost certainly make it happen. I've had companies big and small suggest this after an interview went well so they can sell the team and company more.

Having used one, I guess people just behave differently. For example, when riding an elevator, you might be looking at your smartphone, but if you take the stairs, you don't.

Getting onto and off a paternoster is pretty exciting, so you won't be bored enough to look at the smartphone :-)
> Apart from -great- cultural differences - e.g. respect for nature

You can respect nature and still make use of natural resources. Even if native Americans did the former (see below--some did but many did not), they fell far short on the latter. There were many natural resources in the US that native Americans never made any use of, and European settlers did.

This is an example of the more general fact that the native Americans did not build very much wealth, while European settlers built much, much more. The native American cultures would never have built the medium through which we are having this discussion, for example. Or modern medicine, or modern sanitation, or all of the other things that have led to a huge increase in both average length and average quality of life.

> indigenous Americans had -a lot- of knowledge about their world, and how to care for it.

Perhaps some did. Many did not. Travel around the US Southwest and see how many sites there are where native American tribes lived and either died out or had to move on because they had mismanaged the local resources to the point where those resources could no longer support the tribe.
Gotta treat it like cruise control.
Not really. Even the iPhone 4 wasn’t fatal if held wrong. At worst you might drop a call.
Compile times in rustc have been steadily improving with time. Every release doesn't make every workload faster, but over a long time horizon, the effect is clear. Rust 1.34 was released in April 2019 and since then many crates have become 33-50% faster to compile, depending on the hardware and the compiler mode (clean/incremental, check/debug/release).

In addition an alternate debug backend called cranelift is being developed. The debug compile times are up to 50% faster than the LLVM based backend.
I would be shocked if he drove at all. His time is worth more than that whatever it costs to hire a driver.
They behaved irresponsible, but Tesla could really use actual driver attention monitoring. It should not be possible to have no one sitting in the driving seat. They seem to have a broken attention monitoring system that is easily tricked.

Remember that The Economist is in print, and while they do have color the quality of impression and the available space is probably not sufficient to get good enough details to meaningfully compare the technology.

Besides, it's not Wirecutter, they're reporting on tech, not making a buying guide. As such the text is really what matters.

I'm a bit surprised by your claim that "something is clearly not working" when I have a basically the opposite take: images and video take over most of the web's contents. You mention reddit, at any given time on the frontpage you'll have mostly images and small videos and very little text. And of course you have social networks like TikTok and Instagram that are only about images.

Given how ultra-comoditized photos and videos have become, it makes sense for The Economist to focus on the thing they actually do better than any random internet blog or youtube review video.

> and investors who buy housing and do not rent the place out

What evil about paying only what's owed? How is there someone else paying for it exactly? That's like saying saving money is robbing a store of a purchase. There's an implication here that someone's unstated or unwritten expectations are an obligation to fulfill and that exercising any options outside of said expectations is/should be a punishable violation.
Yup, from the linked EFF article:

> Observers may learn that in general, members of a specific cohort are substantially likely to be a specific type of person. For example, a particular cohort may over-represent users who are young, female, and Black; another cohort, middle-aged Republican voters; a third, LGBTQ+ youth. This means every site you visit will have a good idea about what kind of person you are on first contact, without having to do the work of tracking you across the web.
Thanks, I suspected as much up to a point.

I'm likely headed back to a more "lifestyle" business working directly for the founders though. Lifestyle in the sense that the company is aggressively focused on the work culture and including the engineering staff in the entire process of building the product/business. Worked at a place like that once and didn't appreciate it enough at the time. That's not the typical definition of a lifestyle biz..

Making it through the year is going to provide a significant boost to my retirement savings/investments and put compensation cut on the table so I can focus more heavily on work environment. Why am I saying all this? I guess I need to get it out and maybe it gives some further insight into how retention based compensation incentivizes people, and how acquisitions can cause a lot of stress to those who aren't getting the life altering payouts.
Anyone else getting certificate issues?
Yeah I think it only really matters if you are trying to be HIPAA compliant, like you said, because you’re also dealing with other health information about people.
Re: "fast" parity code in article. I always preferred the parity example from the (pre-ansi) K&R C Programming Language book:

#include <stdio.h>

main( argc, argv )
int argc;
char *argv[];

{

unsigned source;

int parity;

if ( argc > 1 )
{
if ( sscanf( argv[1], "%d", &source ) == 1 )
{
printf( "%d = ", source );
for ( parity = 0; source; parity++ )
source &= ( source - 1 );
printf( "%d\n", parity & 1 );
}
}

}

The function in the article is faster for > 8-bit values when there are more than eight ones in the value being checked. Also, I suppose theirs is better than K&R because it always executes in the same number of cycles.

To be fair, 20 years ago Google was used by an educated minority, and now it's the default interface to all human knowledge by every person in the world. It's a completely different product now, with a very different, and vastly larger, customer base.

As noted by many other people, Google's complete dominance of all web search for a decade makes the lack of any attempts of competition notable by their absence. If VCs are profit-maximizing, we should be seeing a new Cuil like, every month. Search advertising is a huge market, and is super profitable! Why isn't anyone trying to capture some of it? If Google is so bad now compared to some imagined heyday, then why is Bing also bad, despite the money Microsoft has spent on it?
