Something I've been thinking about is that your typical rank and file employees work is pretty transparent. I created 6 widgets, I served 4 customers, I wrote 100 lines of code. Middle management that isn't really true, they can mill around and informally talk with people as part of their work. If everyone is remote, middle management's efforts become much more measurable.
Yet somehow, these boneheads haven’t driven Google to bankruptcy yet, so I don’t think their decisionmaking authority is in immediate jeopardy.
No mystery, it's just an example of really good poster art. I've always liked 'The Lucky Tea Kettle of Morin Temple'.

The arch wiki is also available offline as ZIM files, a type of compressed file suited for text and indexing, used by Wikimedia for its projects, and viewable through software like kiwix. It also works as a general way of encoding html documents in a single, compressed file, which I really like, but I could not get their tools to work properly to convert some unconventionally structured websites.
Indeed, the goal has been to be as close as possible to Rust, given the constraints of C++ semantics.

Note I mean the work being done by Microsoft and Google on top of Core Guidelines on their syntac analysers, which on Microsoft's case are active by default as background process that validate your code as you type.

It will never be as good as Rust is able to, but in some domains a "worse is better" solution will already be better than nothing, because they aren't going to port their code to something else.
Each data point covers 10 years, and there's only 20 years of data. There should be only two points on the graph. The other points are just blends of the two independent time periods.

Do you have any plans / any ideas on feasibility to plop an imap server on top of the s3 store? I have really wanted a serverless aws solution and this moves the needle on work I did not wanna do so I’m reinterested again. Something like an s3 object change -> dynamodb index might work well for latency concerns and keep the serverless spirit alive. I just have such a starting problem on “building/learning imap intricacies when it may never work”.
Indeed, and the one change to keyboard design that would provide substantial ergonomic opportunities hasn't been seriously approached. The key switches are too large to provide layouts that fit hands that are narrower or shorter than somewhere larger than average.

Lillian Malt kicked things off in the 1970's with the Maltron, a (brilliant) workaround for key spacing being too large for her hands. We've been beating around the same oversized components ever since, trying to squeeze out a drip or two of better ergonomics.

Further useful pursuit of improved keyboard ergonomics requires keyswitches with a size and travel distance that isn't informed by the recent memory of typewriters and manufacturing limitations of the era of Cherry's original design, and produced in volume to at least Cherry MX standards. It's time to move away from typewriter-defined hardware.

> The linked page doesn't say anything about what is and isn't a human subject.

Why you decided that was a claim is your own bias talking. I was pointing out the relevant section.
You've tried to raise something that isn't the issue, nor is it a sensible question as you undoubtedly realized (But even so).

Every human in an experiment is a human subject. Glad we got that out of the way.

The issue is what an IRB is looking for in evaluating the ethical feasibility of an experiment.

> Experimenting on unwitting subjects is unethical

> I had hoped that by now that would be something that didn't need stating and restating.

That's because it's your opinion. Seriously, go tell your local Target or College Bookstore to stop playing with the wall colors because there is no disclosure AND they make money off of it.

One one hand, I see why selfishly you would not want to move off your well-established Roku network. However, do you not see that tomorrow Roku could do the same thing to your other "favorite channels" and squeeze them (which based on how they take a cut of subscription fees running through their hardware... not sure why Roku needs those fees.. it all seems like a squeeze) leaving you with a largely useless device that is pay-to-play for companies to run their channels through it?
Thanks for that response.

Do you have any plans to cater to devops engineers who want to use infrastructure as code tools such as Pulumi or Terraform to manage both their Kubernetes cluster and their other cloud resources (e.g. AWS RDS database) with one tool?

Also, just so you know, the abbreviation IdP (with that particular capitalization) is already a term in security, particularly in the context of single sign-on; there it stands for identity provider. Edit: I suggest IPaaS as an alternative.
Yeah but that puts the burden of verification on Apple. This way the application author has to (legally) undersign their intentions.

Makes sense to me...
It should be obvious to just about anyone who was born in the last 100 years[0], as they should be all familiar with the basic principles of electrical devices: you power a device by connecting it with an outlet using a wire[1]. The underlying concept here is that a wire can transfer something useful from one point to another. Like electricity. Or, in this case, a voice signal.

Even if you found someone who's confused by the use of wire in this device, I think a 30 second explanation and demonstration would clear it up forever.

[0] - Excepting the Sentinelese, and some other remaining groups with zero exposure to industrial-era technology - of which there's very few remaining on the planet.

[1] - And even in case of people who have never seen electrical devices, you can easily come up with a simple analogies to transfer this concept across all advancement levels. Voice traveling along a taut wire. Water flowing down the gutter. Grain rolling down a chute. Water dripping through, or flowing along, a soaked string. A bolas. Poking a bear with a stick. Etc.
This is one of the worst comments I’ve ever read.
As I suspected at the time (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25314818), the Google numbers are lower than anything in the Strubell paper, because you have to start from a much lower PUE and factor in additional efficiencies. (It did mention that power consumption of TPUs was not public knowledge.)

It's not like Google hasn't been bragging about a PUE of 1.2 or better for more than a decade. For its employees to reference a paper with much worse assumptions was odd to say the least. It doesn't look like anyone with production experience was involved. And here we have this paper now, with many more details than what Google discloses usually...
> Failing to ban such previously is unfortunate but not racist

No, it was very much racist.

> and certainly not blatantly racist unless there was intent to disproportionately harm African Americans.

Both that the exception would have disproportionate impact on African-Americans and that the overt logic of the flavor ban applied equally to menthol was well known when the flavor ban was adopted. Intent is the only reasonable conclusion.
The M1 should be a very strong signal Apple has no intention of taking away general purpose execution. M1 Macs could have easily been as locked as iOS devices, but Apple specifically went out of their way to let device owners load unsigned operating systems if that was something they want to opt in to.
Apart from the "WFH is not good for everyone" (which I agree with, and there are many situations where people actively do not want to WFH), there is also the internal company cult, which makes top management believe that people stay at a job for the vibes and relationships.

It is partly true, because not going to work and interacting with people all day will make you have less regrets about leaving for another company. This is not generally a huge factor (compared to, say, salary), but it exists.

Managers with a lot of company cult thinking also believe that you get more attached to the company if they can see you everyday.

At my company they are shocked that engineering talent is leaving despite the great financials results, and are trying to find an explanation. Apparently the "no raises this year" policy they set 6 months ago did not enter their radar.
When your recruited multiple times a week it’s not hard.

> It's purchasing an ownership claim on future earnings realized by the company.

Which, as I said, can be realized via dividends or the sale of the company.

I looked up their dividend returns. It ain't much.

Keep in mind that tax law highly incentivizes the avoidance of dividends.

We'll see (or maybe not). This business of involving the general public in stock ownership is a new thing, it really is new ground to cover.
I've been through many audits: SOX, SAS70, SixSigma, HIPAA, Security, and other such audits. Can't even recall some of them. (all from an IT/OPs/Sec/Data perspective - not so much on business model/function/whatever the other depts in the company were required to do...)

Typically, they will have a very long list of questions of your data, process, systems, staff, access, security handling policies, procedures, finance, etc and complete a gap analysis, and ask for proof/validation, documentation of all such questions.

Many times the questions are redundant, many times they are vague - but in all, such audits and the questions are really anything that a sound C-level (cio/cto/cso/blah blah) should know to hire and instill in their employees they put in place to own such areas of the business.

The audits are tedious, and the consultants can be annoying.

Most of the time, the audits are actually done in order to prove to high-profile potential investors or customers that "yes we are a mature company and we have done the appropriate due diligence in all of these areas in order to gain your faith in our ability to be worthy of your business/investment, Look! even the big auditor says we are good!"

There will always be a few things that you may have either missed, were to young a company to yet have needed it, or its already in the pipeline, but you don't have staff on hand yet to take care of it etc. The most important thing is be honest about everything in your org/systems/infra and accept any findings and build a plan to take care of them.

Ideally - your leads, managers etc are already thinking about sound practices that mitigate any scary findings. I've never failed an audit.

My gripe with all of these companies who do the audits are WAY to overpriced for their stamp of approval - and their recommendations are very high level.

Such as "Do you have a security access policy? Can I see it?" "You should have a list of all the people who have access to system X" (when all this information is already available through any given system (AD, SSO, ROLES, whatever)

In my experience, C-levels like having these on their belt of accomplishments so they can brag about familiarity with each audit type, when in-fact, all the work is delegated to staff and SMEs for each system.

Its also an "whom you network" which really bothers me about it.

Players that want to play football in the NFL have to take an IQ test[1] and score decently well. Using a rough conversion[2], NFL teams require a minimum IQ in the low 90s to play, because players below that threshold are incapable of learning the plays[3]. So even for persons who want to play competitive football, a certain level of intelligence is extremely important.

I don't know much about soccer beyond pickup games, is it roughly as cognitively demanding as football at the highest levels?

Note that using the + address "trick" in email addresses is silly: everyone knows it and can strip it out with a simple regex. It doesn't accomplish the main things that it exists to do, which are to a) make it non-obvious what your username for a site is and b) make it obvious where a spammer got your email.
Yeah, it's a clear abuse of market power and is holding back the web. They have the resources to fix these issues, and seemingly choose not to, effectively taxing developers, who pass the costs on the consumers. So even well within the current bullshit "consumer welfare" standard: options go down, costs go up, with Apple's apparent "embrace / hold up / extinguish" strategy.

I'd love it if you could write up your experiences, ideally with those figures on Safari usage and citations to any relevant WebKit bugs, and send them over to Rep. Cicilline's office in Rhode Island.

I thought his office did a good job putting together these questions on anticompetitive behavior by Apple (who has since actually been fixing the protectionist issues that they gave obviously flimsy answers on):

This comment could have been written a decade ago and it was as laughable back then as it is today.

Developers do not dictate the success of a platform. Users do. And they don’t want Linux on the desktop.

Could be demographics driving the housing demand, also. The large millennial generation are now in the housing market, and the baby boomers haven't sold yet. In 20-30 years the baby boomers will not be around. That will change the demand for housing. Could be quite a difference.
Which will last longer, the stones or the website. Between ssl certs expiring, embedded google map, hosting provider, dns, etc... I'd bet on the stones.
You need both. The theory is important for seeing what class of problem you're trying to solve and to give you an idea of what general approaches might work. The actual problems are needed to get you skilled in actually applying the theory and for learning how to adapt the basic algorithms/techniques under different conditions.
> Mechanical keyboards are ideal for programmers and fast typists, while light users can also consider membrane keyboards since they do not often come across certain 3-key combinations/shortcuts.

I've never encountered this sort of problem with ANY keyboard I've owned in 30 years, no matter how crappy.

> A good mechanical keyboard can alleviate the fatigue of typing. Users who need to type for a long time can consider it.

This claim seems dubious.

> In theory, a mechanical keyboard can last for 3 to 5 years.

I've yet to have a membrane keyboard actually wear out. I just had my daily driver Logitech solar wireless keyboard that I bought in 2014 finally die, but it was the solar charger circuit that failed, not the keys or membrane (although the paint on the wasd keys were getting pretty damn faded).

> Keyboard wrist rest: some users may feel uncomfortable typing without a palm wrist. This depends on personal needs.

Wrist rests are actually one of the leading causes of RSI due to the extra compression stress they place upon the carpal tunnel.
A lot of comments on anything about quantum information/computation/foundations are definitely nonsense. Thats the only field I'm really qualified to make such judgements about.
Honestly I never have seen such piece of crap like "Notarization". One of the Apple's failures ever (if is not the most one).

A nightmare (and not cheap) to deal with it as a developer.

List of Unusual Deaths (Wiki)
Users sideloading apps on their phones is likely to be a benefit to like 5,000 people and an attack vector for 3 billion.

As for Steam, you don't have to use it as a game publisher, as in you could always sell physical media (up until the past few years) or a download. As a consumer I'll pretty much always prefer buying a game through Steam. I hate all these other launchers that you have to now use for like one title because they suck.

This same "me too" philosophy is ruining online content distribution where once Netflix was so good. Just look at the difficulty in finding out if a given movie or TV show is on any of your services. There's really no good way to do that. I've seen websites that try but they also include Amazon, Google Play and iTunes where you can buy that content when all I'm interested in is where it streams for free. It just sucks.

More is not always better.

Could you define what metrics you would use to see if the market is "hot" or "cold"? Could you let us know what each of those metrics would change in terms of contributions?

It's easy to say "hot and cold", but those things aren't easily definable, but it would be easy enough to backtest any theory you have. I'm pretty skeptical it's going to be valuable without getting into PhD level math coupled with an experts understanding of global politics and trade.
> Nearly everyone I've spoken to has reported that WFH productivity has been equal, if not better than pre-pandemic.

Like most things, find 1 that you like and use it for a long time. For me it happened to be the HHKB Pro 2.
I do. We have a device that creates its own Wi-Fi and serves a web app to interact with it. We have a lot of clients that would like to be notified when a new firmware is released for the device.

Another recent one, a customer on iOS 12 did not understand why he couldn't save a file generated on the device to his phone. I told him it's not possible, but he can save it to iCloud (without a correct name though). I got told off about how bad we must be not to support such a basic feature. Don't ask me mate.
Say you buy a can of Coke at Walmart. Would Coca-Cola be allowed to print on that can that it can be bought for less at 7-Eleven?
No need for the exclamation point.

Yes it is a non-trivial achievement, just I get the feeling that the advocacy for it tends to forget about the other ones.

By the way, John Regehr's example won't work if the transferXXX functions are using SQL statements without transactions across threads each with its own connection, instead of in-memory variables.
The TV app is the single greatest feature of the Apple TV, though. I have one list of shows I am watching (sans Netflix because they are petty, I don’t subscribe to them for more than a month at a time to binge a few shows though); multiple, even, because each person in the house has their own.
The longer the bubble builds the bigger the bust. We’ve chosen growth over stability, fundamentals, and robustness. Once the U.S. struggles to stimulate its economy through deficit spending it’ll hit a wall. It’ll be fine for people but there will be a massive dislocation in the economy.
Personally, most gifts I've given or received have been items which I didn't need and not at any great cost. I still gave them to a person of my choosing. So when dead and in need of nothing, one's wishes to give to a particular person, charity, or even hypothetically anyone should be respected.

If John owns an item, he can say what happens it. So if he says to an notarised person 'when I die X becomes property of my son James' then that's simply respecting his wishes over his property.

Is it much different if John choose to give something away moments from death, or if he asks someone else to arrange the giving on his behalf after death?

We respect the wishes of the dead because it's part of the continuance of life and civilisation (which is itself fundamentally the store and passing down of value, I.e. inheritance). The same reason we'd honour someone who died for freedom, or honour the funeral wishes of a family member. Their wishes are worth much to everyone who knew them. The same should apply to personal property.

I think I'm stabbing in the right direction. A better answer might come from a better read or more philosophical mind than mine.
