One big grain of salt to take with that NYT graphic is that they took taxes into account. If you are investing in a retirement vehicle (401k, IRA or Roth IRA), your tax obligations are going to be very different. Not to mention that tax laws have changed greatly over time.

Another think to remember is that if you are saving for retirement, you are very likely doing dollar cost averaging, i.e. making deposits on a regular basis. So you aren't buying all your stocks in one year, you are buying them across a multitude of years. That greatly mitigates the risk of starting at the wrong time.

For example, I started saving for retirement in 1999. It was ugly for a while but I was positive for good as of 2009, despite all the red in that graph.

this matches my experience as a dev manager. We had a bump in productivity initially, probably due to a fully-charged battery of team combined with less disruptions, but now productivity has declined by all our quantative measures (deploys, cycle times, failure frequency,etc).

For 30~50 I can get a Fire TV that can plays for all the sources that I use (Netflix, Amazon Video, and Diskey+), and save on the electricity bill.
I really don't know but isnt the bar generally the same types of questions every year? Like the SAT? It feels like preping for interviews is hard in part because you could be asked anything from reverse a doubly linked list to design facebook. If it was a smaller set of questions it would be a lot easier to study for.

It is already too late. The EU just passed TERREG yesterday without a vote that requires anyone running a website with user generated content (a blog with comments, a forum etc.) and if they have significant EU user base to establish legal presence in the EU and have an officer responsible for deleting content with 1 hr SLA. That's out of reach for most of people. You cannot even block your site for EU traffic, because EU users can use VPN.

> This really highlights to me how important the web is, and how close we can be to losing it all.

The web is dominated by YouTube to an absurd degree, which is the root of the problem.

Look, I love the web. The web is awesome. But it's not a self-correcting mechanism. It's possible to build monopolies on the web, and once that happens, it screws over everyone and makes things move in a closed, proprietary direction. You can see examples of this everywhere.
This could be explained by failures of management in addition to or as opposed to the ability of technical individual contributors.
Have you tried it? In my experience its far nicer then most "Smart TV" or media devices in a similar price range. (certain devices like the apple tv have acceptable UI's but they are a little pricier).

Yes. And the definition of a “sufficient number of people” is different for Roku where their entire business is based on selling streaming boxes and Apple where sells of streaming box is a “hobby” and less than a rounding error.

Given a choice, I would rather have an AppleTV and pay more for a better user experience than pay less for a Roku.

That being said, we have multiple Roku TVs throughout our house and they are good enough. But the two I use most frequently also have ATV4Ks. I also couldn’t in good conscience recommend that most people get ATVs at their current prices.

If you don’t have an Apple phone, it’s not quite as useful since you can enter text on your phone and use it as a remote. AFAIK you’ll need to create an Apple ID to download apps on an Apple TV, and that’s about it. It does come with a remote, the touch remote is one of apple’s few bad products, if you get an Apple TV, wait for the new remote that re-adds buttons.

You can't ever be 100% sure, but there's a variety of ways to get confidence that you're getting close.

Rhyming lines in poetry are a great way to constrain what the various phonemes were. The meter is also a great way to back out what sounds were silent and which were not. (Speaking of which I disagree with the video's choice to pronounce a lot of the final "-e"s in words; that's a trait of early Middle English that was already on its way out by the time of Chaucer and its pretty clear from certain rhyme choices that it's silent in a lot of Skelton's words: see how e.g. Skelton rhymes "Jerusalem" with "creme" and how everything is nice iambs, unless you start pronouncing "-e"s everywhere).

500 years is also within a time horizon where you can get pretty reliable internal reconstruction clues (examining inconsistencies in modern English and thinking about what common features might have led to those inconsistencies) to try to get a better grasp of the phonemic inventory of a language.

Spelling also is a great clue into what the phonemes of the language were (although this is complicated by digraphs and trigraphs).

Then you can use a variety of methods to try to get an idea of what the phonetic realizations of those phonemes were. In this poem in particular we have English words rhymed with foreign words which is a great clue. You can also compare different dialects of English to try to figure out what the original sound is of a word that has now fractured into many different pronunciations.

And of course you can examine what people of the time say about the pronunciation of their own language (this is how we e.g. are pretty confident in r being a trill or a tap, based on descriptions from both domestic and foreign speakers, see e.g. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/298566/why-and-w... for a great summary of some of the evidence).

All in all it's kind of like playing a game of Sudoku. Rhyming and other clues can set up a set of relationships among different sounds and what would seem like an otherwise sparse set of clues (a comment by some writer here, a common misspelling there, some translation here) can cause cascades of phonetic realizations of different phonemes that magnify the impact of those clues.

And the sanity check to make sure that all this makes sense is being able to provide reconstructed sounds that are consistent with new descriptions, rhyming patterns, and foreign transcriptions as new evidence rolls in over time.

There was a sort of "golden age" for cloud in I'd say 2016-2019 where elastic compute was merged with traditional IT and Admin skillsets to create flexible fleets of servers and wrangle them all with Chef/Puppet, Ansible, or Terraform.

Now I feel like the pendulum has swung waaay too far. And I say this as an engineer who once worked for AWS. Of course you can still use EC2/ECS to do this sort of setup, but it seems everyone is oh so eager to throw everything onto Lambda and Fargate and completely abstract away the machine to the point where you have no insight or control as to what is running your application. It's absolute madness - it's like when my mother was programming on mainframes in the 70s/80s except instead of a batch of punch cards it's zipped files of python and js

At this point I find even running your own Kubernetes cluster to be more palatable than serverless solutions. With that at least you can still have some control into what's going on.

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

I have, but only under very specific circumstances: playing Overcooked with two players on one keyboard. This will occasionally mean six keys simultaneously pressed and then someone notices key presses just go missing.

Also, not all keyboards with mechanical switches have N-key rollover. Many tout "anti-ghosting" which means different things that you have to look in the specs for.
Systematic Over-Crediting of Forest Offsets
True!

However, I am far from unique.
Yeah, I remember using one of those at school when I was young, and it was one of the best keyboards I've used. It's a shame that recent Apple keyboards feel like shit (incredibly shallow switches, almost feels like typing on glass, my fingers physically hurt after using it for a long time)
Yup, I've got no problem with hobbies. I have a friend who keeps a closet full of sneakers he'll never wear, and quite often I'll go days without calling him a weirdo ;-)

It just gets weird when people start into these audiophile-like arguments for the superiority of their choice. I've owned a number of mechanical and membrane keyboards since my first computer in 1983, and there's no real benefit to either except for aesthetics and how it feels to you personally.
Funny you mention the hard stop! I too play piano and guitar and have not had problems with them. However I joined a startup way back in 2005 and was working on a laptop for 12+ hours a day and started to get RSI and shooting pains in my left hand. I moved to a full-sized keyboard with Cherry MX Blue switches and have not had a problem since. HOWEVER I ended up putting those little red rubber O-ring on the switches to soften the stop years ago. I wonder if softening the stop has spared me from any RSI. My keyboard is also quite thick and 100% requires a palm rest to get hands to the proper level of the keyboard.

Edit: I see further below you mentioning trying out the O-rings and it made things worse for you. I might have lucked out in the hand-biomechanics part of my DNA.
I like doing the dynamic programming questions.
Cars are a terrible measuring stick here, the article should know better. A car is for one household, or maybe one person. These models can potentially serve billions of people once trained. You can’t meaningfully evaluate their efficiency without the denominator.

Per capita per year is the right unit to be using here.
This article moves the goalposts on what "right to repair" is several times. It generally means that manufacturers should not hide schematics from device users or disallow third party manufacturing of first party parts. However, the author states:

> The law doesn't yet cover smartphones and tablets that she says are getting harder to fix. One problem is keeping older devices updated with new software.

Now "right to repair" includes not only designing devices to be easier to repair but also includes legacy software support? Where do we draw this line? If your M1 dies, you can't fab one yourself or run older software on it indefinitely.

Further down, the author writes:

> But markets have now become flooded with products that are less repairable.

> "It requires laws in place that prevent manufacturers from stopping [supporting] a product too early, or making it pretty much impossible to repair it by design."

Now the author has shifted "right to repair" to mean mandatory first-party device support and design requirements around repair-ability.

We must very carefully define our terms here, because requiring someone else to provide on one's behalf presumes a right to the product of their labor.
That's pretty cool. Feature docs including an example: https://murex.rocks/docs/optional/select.html

So apparently it runs the query against an in-memory sqlite instance. I'm curious what the rough time overhead for that is (compared to, say, the overhead of calling out to grep). Does it feel noticeably slow to run a query on ps output?

And the other thing I'm wondering, can this drop you into a sqlite command line? I.e.,

» ps aux -> select -i

sql> SELECT ...
I don't disagree with your main points but we have terms like Housing Affordability Index we can use to discuss this. We don't need to use imprecise terms like "asset inflation" which can mean different things to different people.

> I think the ship has sailed on App stores. They're just better than the alternative and consumers are used to them. I'd consider them an integral part of the OS.

If customers really want app stores then prohibit platform companies from operating them and third parties will do it. But they'll compete with each other instead of abusing a monopoly into high fees and prohibitions on apps that compete with the platform's business interests.

Or if app stores fall out of favor as soon as they're not imposed on everyone by platform monopolies then it disproves your theory that most people independently want them.
> Until iOS development made Mac's the default dev machine.

I'd argue Mac's were the default developer machine before iOS. E.g., Paul Graham from 2005 (http://www.paulgraham.com/mac.html):

> All the best hackers I know are gradually switching to Macs. My friend Robert said his whole research group at MIT recently bought themselves Powerbooks. These guys are not the graphic designers and grandmas who were buying Macs at Apple's low point in the mid 1990s. They're about as hardcore OS hackers as you can get.

From my anecdotal experience, the rise of the Mac among creators, including developers, was meteoric, and immediate, once OS X was stable. Not to say it was everybody, but I'd say by the mid-2000s it was the default choice, as in I rarely ran into anyone using any other platform in the web startup circles I was in at the time.

That's just your opinion. I'll "delude" myself into thinking sovereignty, and resistance to continental divide-and-conqueror is better long-term (see how trade deals are usually weaponised: [0]; then tell me the same "political power coerced by economic lock-in" isn't at play) is better than short term economic benefits.

The "everyone will be worse off out of the EU" argument sounds a lot like the flip-side of trickle-down economics; Some may be worse off, but more equal given the spoils of remain are certainly not equally distributed.

I'm not sure how you test the first three qualities reliably in an interview. The point of leetcode interviews is that they are arguably harder to game: if you manage to write some code solving some problem, you at least memorized a solution and somewhat understood it.

Maybe you trust engineers to be completely transparent, but then you also let in a different kind of "brilliant jerk" (as you put it) who learnt to fake interest.
Thanks for this. I haven’t actually drawn a line between this kind of semi-forced physical affection and the blurring of consent as an adult, but it makes perfect sense. We even encourage/force kids to reciprocate gifts with physical affection. Surely this also inculcates a subconscious notion that you “owe” someone in this way.
It's known that music licensing costs are about 50% of gross subscription prices. So a subscription to spotify is about 50% to rightsholders, 30% to apple, and 20% to spotify as their profit. A subscription to Apple music is 50% to rightsholders, and 50% to apple. The additional profit Apple makes from converting a Spotify customer is only 20% (50%-30%), the same profit that any other competitor to Spotify (such as Tidal) would make on a conversion.
Now, Apple could afford to lower their subscription costs to below Spotify's, selling below "cost" at say 75% rate. So they are still "making money" per subscription, but at a price which is unsustainable to Spotify, which seems at first glance unfair and is what I think the comment chain is picturing. But what's happening here is that Apple as a whole is actually making less money on an Apple Music customer (25% margin) than a Spotify customer (30% margin), so it's not profitable or a good business decision versus the alternative. And we don't see apple doing that, at least where I live both subscriptions are the same price. It only works if you are able to drive Spotify out of business, then jack up the prices, but that anticompetitive opportunity to "dump" is possible for Apple in essentially any market due to their vast vast cash reserves.

In my view the potentially anti-trust advantages Apple has over Spotify mainly come from the fact Apple Music is preinstalled and is promoted to iOS users through push notifications.

I enjoy it, and I like working the Euler problems, but I'm sure I'd still crash and burn if I encountered it in an interview.
I use VS Code and primarily use JS, jQuery, webpack, and SASS.

I like having two projects open in the same VS Code window (the project I'm working on and a past project I'm referencing), and it would be nice if I could use two different themes to distinguish them.

For instance, the background and tab colors of Project A would be a very dark grey and the background and tab colors of Project B would be dark blue.

Doing this would allow me to see which file belongs to which at a distance---for instance, both projects have files that are named the same like main.scss and index.js.

What I'll do is have everything from Project A on the left side and Project B on the right, but I have confused myself a few times in the past, so being able to set themes would be quite nice.

I ran an e-mail service with 2m users. The web frontend was written in C++ (no, I don't want to go back, but we had a pretty nice custom framework) all served up as a CGI, behind a load balancer.

If our code crashed, the next request would just get served as normal. If Apache crashed or a frontend crashed, another one would just take its place. High availability cgi-bin is trivial.
It's unfeasible for most people though because of the incredible noise it generates (Yeah, I get it, the sound's awesome and it's a feature, but you're not going to use it at work or at home with other people)
Man pages can be tricky as the content can vary distro by distro (how up to date is your copy of man-pages, what changes have happened, etc.) - this technique is pretty portable to extract the synopsis of a man page specifically due to the format it uses (most times I'd use like grep -A3 -B2 foo /some/file, e.g.).
I don't see the problem with separating every platform company from every app store. They can obviously be operated by two separate entities, like Steam on Windows.
Repairability seems like a good goal for sustainability. The challenge on electronics is determining what is a reasonable and useful life for a product. Should an iPhone SE or a knockoff Android last and be repairable for a decade? My worry is the regulation will get this wrong. Moderate rules are probably the best way to start.
