I’m not sure I agree, I think things like GitHub issues are actually replacing Jira for a lot of companies who either aren’t yet, or not too heavily invested in the atlassian approach.

We did a comparison program with a sister city who uses Jira for their entire process because it had been a good time-tracking system at the time, and we found that their project managers and developers spend around 5 hours a week on something that ours spend on average 35 minutes on. This is anecdotal and we’re not exactly real “software development” cases as we are small helper functions in major enter organisations, but it does speak volumes as to why using Jira in our little anecdotal setting seems terrible. This doesn’t mean our sister city will change their ways though, they won’t. So in a sense you’re right that jira isn’t getting replaced at their place, but it does mean we won’t consider it and will instead look to other tools.
I feel weird because I tried to like TikTok but I ended up hating it with a passion. No matter how many times I skipped/disliked a given video type, they still kept showing up. TikTok is clearly not targeted to me because just writing about my experience here is once again upsetting me.

Most likely Germany. Specifically Dresden since it already has a significant fabrication industry so there's a good supply of local expertise.
I love the MS Nat Ergo 4000 and thought the Sculpt would be a good successor, but find I really dislike it. I find the short key travel hard to adjust to (lots of typos), and the mushy ESC key was not conducive to Vim editing. (P.S. I've a 10 finger touch typist. Learned in school in the '80s on manual typewriters.)

Funny how our experiences are so disparate.

This seems like a very interesting project, but the website kinda reads like a mad-person wrote it with the bizarre(to me) rhetoric about space and time and somewhat poor quality 3-D renderings. Clearly a lot of people are interested and invested in this project and making this space. Could anyone give a good explanation of what this project is/where this fits in modern art/science exploration?

These are the same types of people that claim "there are no good books" with a smirk on while suggesting books to read on white privilege after just telling you it's not his job to educate you on such matters even though he's literally being paid to sit there and educate you.

Not a complaint, just a weird pedantic nitpick: minesweeper is supposed to move the mine to the first available top left spot if you click it on your first click. I don’t want to push more winmine.exe consistency than that, but it would be a good quality of life improvement.
Control the language control everything. Good to hear from this clear mind.
Jira existed as a better product before this and gained popularity without this functionality. I used and championed old jira in this business but hadn't used it for some time.

A better realisation would have been that one tool isn't going to integrate everything in your business from developing software to dealing with customers billing.
Their massive import/export taxes on anything related to technology basically kills any of those types of ideas, unfortunately.

If Texas is so bad then why are so many Californians moving here? It's not because they were unemployed in California.
The EU could recognize it as a strategic security issue to not have the most advanced chip fabs located in a geographical sphere of influence that is not always aligned with their interests. They would work with TSMC in particular because they're the most advanced.

The strategic side of things is slightly less of a concern for them if TSMC bring capacity online in the US since they're mostly on good terms, but it's still not great for one of the world's largest economies to not have this sort of capability inside its borders.
This is a great, high effort post, and it matches my experience pretty well. Couple of comments:

> Laptop build quality

You're absolutely right here. When I had to take apart a MBP last year it was way easier than I expected from their reputation for being non-serviceable. I certainly wish parts weren't soldered on to the board, but that's an understandable tradeoff, maybe. I think my biggest point of criticism is the battery bags: pretty every older Macbook seemingly has had them expand somewhat, while I still have no issues with my Dell battery (in a solid plastic case that's externally swapable). The choice of Torx screws for the internals is fantastic as well. I'll never order a Mac for myself, but I am ordering Torx screws and the first thing I'll do with the next laptop I buy is going to be replacing all the internal Phillips screws with Torx for long term serviceability.

The externals are really important too: you're pretty much guaranteed to get a high quality screen with a Mac for example.

> Appeal: Mac has clearly undergone far better UI/UX design

Also agree strongly with this, although it's still messy and the inability to configure many things the way you can in Linux is a pretty unfortunate tradeoff. Tiny UX issues still bite: the global menu bar makes multitasking a pain because macOS desktops have a single application global context - you have to switch which application you're working on before you can do anything with it. Likewise, while you can usually maximize windows in macOS, practically speaking it's assumed you'll never actually do this. For example, the dock will change widths depending on how many apps are open, so "maximizing" is not really meaningful (the window size does not change when this happens).

> Software compatibility

This one's kind of messy, as you say. If you use mostly open source applications, there are a ton of them which are Linux-first or Linux-only. macOS has a weird problem where the norm is to sell every desktop application on a slick React website at about the $40 price point. Obviously, it's mostly closed source too. Though as a Linux user, if you need Photoshop, you've pretty much got to dual boot. That alone is an enormous negative in the compatibility bracket.

>California is extremely entrepreneur-friendly, and have absolutely massive amounts of business compare to Arizona or Texas.

I don't know if you've been following the news lately of a bunch of companies moving OUT of California to Texas. One of these people is Elon Musk. And guess what? I have a source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez90rXhMWjE

I'm not saying California is wrong. Far from it. They're right. These laws are made to protect the people. Like you said, it's not minor at all. I never said it was minor.

However ANY state can decide that economic growth is more important than environmental safety and short term health of its' citizens and make a strategic move to make it's own location much more attractive to business.

So the costs aren't clear. Do we want an economic wasteland or an environmental wasteland? This is my point. California is not dead yet, but the trends have been pointing in this direction for years.
We're too busy subsidising coal plants and taxing EVs, there's no way our Government would ever do something that's actually working towards a better future.
Linear looks nice. Anyone using it?
Jira is an amazing argument for the idea that having too many features is itself an anti-feature, and github issues' second biggest strength compared to it (behind the integration with github) is specifically that it doesn't try to do everything.
I also have trouble getting a non-cringy feed

I few years back I was seeing about 15-30s latency on 2G EDGE. Overloaded links can have high latency due to queuing which CDNs tend to help
> Go look at levels.fyi, L6 at Amazon is either matched or beats L5/E5

Looking at SF offers (to avoid the price differential between bay/Seattle), the median seems to be 300-350K for, with a few offers at like 450K and then 2 at ~650 (also some data entry errors like a 300K signing bonus).

The 650 offers are matched by FB/G L6 offers, and the 450K are high L5/low L6 at G/FB. 330 is approximately the floor for a G L5, and new hire offers will be higher due to the relatively larger sign on grants. Like I said, perhaps for peak performers the Amazon grants are larger, but they're not consistently beating G/FB, they're maybe matching.

Its also difficult to tell because the data in levels.fyi doesn't match my understanding of how amazon's stock refreshes work (or like its difficult to tell). My understanding is that you don't normally get a stock refresh, unless your existing one ran out, or the stock didn't grow "enough" (or, as mentioned, your performance is stellar). So if we're seeing the once-every-few-year-grants at Amazon and comparing to the annual grants at G/FB, that's even more against Amazon, but I could be wrong there. I don't know enough senior people at Amazon (though I do know more junior people at amazon, and the levels.fyi methodology doesn't seem to make a distinction when it asks for data).

> I know of SDE2s making 450k before equity appreciation

Fwiw I'm aware of these kinds of hires at most companies.

I'll admit though that my initial statement, that 350-400K was unreachable for an Amazon Senior was flawed. It is, but mainly because the the level is wider than the comparable level at G/FB.
I read it exactly the opposite. A few years ago my wife was recommended Chaos Monkeys by somebody. It was stunning what he had willingly written down to share with the world. Every few minutes she'd explode in horror at the next even more outrageous thing in the text. Instead of being the expected book on silicon valley, it was fascinating because this person was so proud of being a tremendous asshole to everybody.

The book is not a satire. Not even a little. It is absolutely completely honest and the author is a complete jerk.
Your comment seems to be a textbook example of an ad hominem.

So is it going to be insurance or regulators that gets the dream of self driving squashed?

Stories like this drive home the point: you can’t train your machine learning for every eventuality. Mimicking intelligence isn’t intelligence and the difference is demonstrated by the kinds of mistakes made.
What kind of work are you doing that doesn't require meeting coworkers?
I think it's just an information hoarding mentality. Like people you see on hoarding TV shows with stacks upon stacks of old newspapers just in case they "need" to refer to them one day.
I just installed it. Thanks! I never had a calculator on my iPad because I wasn’t willing to install any of the trash that shows up in search.

It would be nice if there were better discovery for quality apps. I’m thinking something like alternate app stores would do the trick because I would pick one with a “no ads or unnecessary permissions” policy.
I've been thinking about what would happen if there's an actual military crisis between China and Taiwan. I wonder if the United States would allow (and aid with) unlimited immigration from Taiwan for educated specialists, in an attempt to capture/retain as much skills and knowledge as possible.

> "accurate and versatile trackpad movement"

I think you should leave this one out, because it's at best subjective. I've had a much better experience with trackpads on Linux than I have had on any Mac I've used, thanks to the synaptics driver. Far more customizable as well. Additionally, until pretty recently you'd be stuck with the nasty hinge-based touch pad on Mac laptops which required quite a bit of force to push, and tap-to-click was very much an afterthought.
AMA: SpaceX Software Team on Reddit
First, this is an interesting take, and I think there is some kernels to consider in it. However, the author is painting very broadly with a large brush and smudging a lot. I have been happily using PyCharm/IntelliJ since what feels like the dawn of time. It is a perfectly complex and rewarding Fancy Tool. People still use IDEs for C/C++ this whole time, etc. I think the author is taking their personal journey and experience and extrapolating a bit too much about trends in the industry. I found myself nodding along at times and then saying "What?" the next sentence.

My thoughts:

* JIRA, still heavily used in many, many places. Not even close to being replaced in them.

* Evernote vs. Markdown: I have been using org mode and or plain text notes for over 20 years. Markdown was a welcome addition to the arsenal, but I tried the Evernote/Microsoft Notes back in the day... just went back to plaintext for notes+todo, it has worked forever and is good enough. Org mode is a very nice and "Fancy" tool on its own. But also easy to get started with.

Just some examples. I don't mean to be overly critical, it is an interesting and fun article about the tools we use as technologists, but it could do with a lot better grounding all around.
Most end users are not in a position to control the path their packets take. Their ISP could route their packets around the world 6 times over if they can save a nickel doing it
I have an unpopular opinion: matplotlib sucks, but it's going to be really hard to improve on it.

I don't think I need to give anyone reasons why it sucks, but the reason it's going to be hard to replace is that it can do so much. You can make other plotting libraries that are way easier to do a small subset of things with, but as soon as you want strange, lower level, customizable things, you start having to build in little hacks and workarounds. If you have enough of these, you'll eventually get mpl.
It has been done in the past, Taiwan is a special topic for the US, I don't know that they would let it get to that point without intervening either diplomatically or militarily.
Burying the lead here!

> in over 4 months, we did not even receive an acknowledgment by a Valve representative. After public pressure, when it became apparent that Valve had also ignored other Security Researchers with similar impact, Valve finally fixed numerous security issues

Also, can we all agree "DD/MM/YYYY" is the worst possible date format?
I would recommend doing the opposite: interact more with the things you do like. “Like” generously, watch videos all the way through a few times, hit share, comment etc. I think those are the biggest signals that inform the algorithm.
> Most women in the Bay Area are soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit.

It’s understandable why people wouldn’t want to work for someone who thinks this way.
Yeah, it is certainly a wide spectrum. Server-side fixed in days to months, but these game client bugs have been sitting for years.

I had one server bug in HackerOne’s “mediation” for over a month, after 4-6mo of no reply, which did nothing until mentioning it to a Valve employee on another report they had actually responded to.

Disappointing for a program that has paid $1m+ in its lifetime.
A lattice? (But touché :)
thinking similar..

mugshots still available to the public - however they must be obtained on an individual request basis, that comes with a license not to republish at all.

This way anyone can get a mugshot - but no one can legally republish it -

tech can give them tools to embed hidden artifacts to prove a republished pic was shared by person 1032 or whatever.

This protects people from being dissipated and can help with lawyers and such, while protecting privacy from republishers that would be subject to dmca and such.

I suppose similar could be done with names being posted online to some extent(?) - proprietary intellectual property?

A way for family and lawyers to keep up with people but keeps others from profiting on public shame / ransom to take down..

legally could expand on laws similar to "it is illegal to photograph a person when that individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy if that photograph would "offend or embarass an ordinary person" or if the photograph was taken for the "purpose of sexual arousal or gratificaiton of the defendant." Tenn. Code Ann. §39-13-605. "

Having and republishing 'illegal' photos or something.

All this reminds me of a saas idea I had some years ago about bail/lawyer/and notify your saved list of people - if your name is found in public arrest records online.

Now I'm also thinking about people just iframing the police site - may need to hide photos on screen and only show if click/tap to agree to terms then show.

I've had many thoughts on these things, should complete them more one of these days.
Are there any other democratic countries apart from the US where posting arrest mugshots is standard police practice?
The US should invite Taiwan to become the 50-nth state. Perhaps several states, to give them more Senate votes.

Numerous polls of the Taiwanese show that they would want to join the US if given the choice between independent statehood, joining the mainland, and joining the US.

Plus, the US gets a nice permanent military base and gets to monitor all future Chinese submarine activity.

If China attacks a US state, it would be like Yamamoto's "sleeping giant" moment. The US is trying to force China's hand while there is power asymmetry, and I can't think of a better checkmate move.
Ámbito Dólar: Informs the different exchange rates USD vs. ARS in Argentina
I was a VERY late convert to tabs, and I only use them for browsers now (and not all the time, either). I always felt that the OS X command-tilde functionality, for switching between windows the same way you switch through applications using command-tab, was superior. You're always switching between the most recently used windows, chronologically. You can even remember when something was several keystrokes back, and if you don't remember, you can see it in realtime.

It's insanely frustrating to try to switch between two arbitrary tabs in a browser, you have to use the mouse, and keep track of which tab you want to use. I was just running into this problem earlier today, switching between a doc I was reading and a tab I was working in.

Of course, having separate windows for everything leads to more visual clutter, and hurts discoverability a little bit.

There will a place for folks like yourself be as long as it’s needed. Don’t take it the wrong way but once people who have preferences like yours are gone this notion of needing a office in the traditional sense, will pass. The need for working space will remain. The need for a “office” will go away. It’s a natural progression. It’s like Horses gave way to cars but peoples need for mobility remained. Our needs as humans have remained how we fulfill them changes as decades roll. Best to enjoy life and adapt. The other way is possible too....
In my case, they got spooked after my wife and I moved to the side, discreetly trying to see how the guy was hiding the ball. The false onlooker tried to block our view, and when we moved a little further to the right, he signaled the others and they flew. They moved so fast that if one of them had punched me for ruining their game, I wouldn't have known what hit me.

Maybe they were ready to go anyway, but since they work in tourist traps, they probably avoid violence to attract as little attention as possible.
The TSMC chip bottleneck makes it a red line for the US and China knows that. They're patient, no need to do it in a time period when it guarantees maximum blowback.
>I don't think EU cuts deals with specific companies.

Airbus?
This is definitely true in general, but it’s worth noting that Valve pays HackerOne to validate submitted issues before they have to look at them. If it can’t be reproduced as a security issue, it will likely not get through.
Probably regulators, because insurance companies are better at statistics.
I live in WA and I don't blame them. The state government is not on a pro-business bent right now; most of the discussion is about how to make corporations pay their "fair share".

(also, the gross receipts tax is... pretty dumb)

If there's a more business-friendly state, absolutely would take it in a heartbeat.
Not sure the California of today is comparable to CA of decades ago when these superfund sites were mostly created. That being said we don't need any more thanks.
Let me make it clear. I never said Texas is bad. The other guy who replied to me thought I was saying California was bad. I'm giving an unbiased view. Both are bad, and both are good at the same time.

I'm saying the pros and cons are not clear. California laws favor the people at the expense of business. So business leaves and people follow. Texas favors business at the expense of the people.

Businesses chase profit at expense of the people, however profit is paid for from people themselves so usually when businesses harm people it's insidious and subtle and doesn't become apparent until years later. Big Tobacco, Big Pharma and the whole pain killer scandal are primary examples. The harm these companies did to people were not apparent until much much later.

What will happen in Texas is that the harm done to people by unregulated businesses will not be apparent until many years later. At that time regulations will slowly build up as people protest and demand the government to protect the people. This is what happened in California.... history repeating itself.

It might take a decade or your entire lifetime for this change to occur and become fully realized. Meanwhile people will be harmed while California becomes more and more like Michigan.
Interesting comment. Never quite thought about it that way.
