I am a software engineer with 3+ years of experience providing solutions through building what matters. I pay close attention to instructions and therefore help me to providing maximum satisfaction to my clients. I have a Bachelor's Degree outside computer science and have worked with great technologies such Vue, React js, React Native, node js , MySQL database and MongoDb.

What drives my work ethic is building products that are user-centered. I hope to see a real impact from what I do, working on design systems and/or building out product features while working closely with design and PM.
I love building products and solving challenges. I am looking for a company where I can visibly see my growth path. I want a company where I can work with a team and build products iteratively. I opened to working remotely and also opened to moving.
Increasing the negotiating power of labor would reduce inequality. I don't understand your logic.
I took my MacbookPro to an Apple store to have the keyboard replaced. I dropped it off. They called me later that day saying it was almost ready to be picked up, but they needed the bios password.

I asked what for.

They said they need to check the function.

I said that defeats the purpose of the bios password. (o_O)

I did not give it and they said if there were any problems to bring it back.
There was some interesting work recently published in nature on augmenting therapy selection:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01359-w

“Overall, 89% of ML-generated RT plans were considered clinically acceptable and 72% were selected over human-generated RT plans in head-to-head comparisons.”

This seems like it could be a way forward. Where AI is used to propose alternative and improve patient outcomes.

I wonder if smartphone vendors couldn’t provide a test mode which doesn’t require the unlock code for the phone. E.g. if I get my phone display replaced nobody needs access to my full personal data to test of the basics are working.

There could be a special mode accessible which allows testing of standard use cases.
> If Amazon manages to replace all their warehouse staff with robots, then the benefits go to the Amazon shareholders. Which is OK, because the shareholders funded the creation of the robots.

I pretty much agree, but Amazon do a lot of piggybacking on the work of others - so even those hypothetical robot - how much of them did the Amazon shareholders actually fund? And should they bare some of the societal costs of it?

The people ultimately set the rules that capitalism works within - even if it does feel like the power is incredibly unbalanced
Well, it's better to be safe than sorry later.
People have all kinds of tuners that they throw in their cars. And you never hear about a manufacturer being sued into oblivion because someone threw a garbage tuner with garbage settings into their car.
> The bigger issue is enforcing it so that one can't make others work more than 35 hours.

Therein lies the difficulty. Sure, you could make it illegal to explicitly say “yeah I’m gonna need you to come in on Saturday, and if you could come in on Sunday too that’d be great.”

But if there’s a culture at a software company of being a hacker on the weekends (whether on side projects or on company projects), even if you’re never explicitly asked to work on something after-hours, the “perpetual hacker” culture will implicitly cause people who aren’t gung ho hackers to fall behind. The worker who, for fun, learned a new algorithm/framework over a weekend that happens to greatly improve some aspect of the company codebase will advance over the worker who didn’t.

And sure, there might be companies that explicitly try to avoid hiring the perpetual hackers and only hire people who are not particularly passionate about technology in their spare time. Those companies will be eaten by the ones that only hire hackers.
Am I missing something or does this look like poor uptake for (possibly) reasons other than performance? The article cites a lack of use as justification for the assumption that the model doesn't work. It might just take time.

Especially in medical. A century (+) ago hand-washing took time to adopt unless I'm mis-remembering.
That's one of the problems. Everyone has their opinion on what that level is. And nowadays we have the internet, so they can share it with everyone else.

Sometimes I like to think what a world would look like - geopolitically and economically if we didn't have newspapers, the internet, or any other means of communication. Would our world be a more balanced place? Would it balance itself out in the end?

I think it's more about choices being more nuanced as you get older, not really losing preferences. E.g. one might not have a favorite movie, but could have favorite action movie or similar.

Btw, 'hot pink' is the correct answer to the "what's your favorite color" question.
Phones actually do have that option. Android bootloader supports fastboot boot of an image file on the host PC, usually a recovery ROM.

Apple is certainly capable to do that and I'm even sure that this exists on their devices too.
This sounds like money with extra steps.
There is no way this could go wrong

But the story he is selling is about NOT working hard. Thus the "Four Hour Work Week".

He is not praising indiscriminate effort. He is praising getting the most reward for the least amount of work.

Which demonstrates his privilege. But I don't think he's really trying to hide that or claim some kind of virtue.
France implemented 35H week more than a decade ago.

In practice folks still work around 40h, but they have more vacations to compensate.

I don't see much downside, beside... people working less overall. The end goal of this law was to share work.

I work in the US since 6 years. I miss a actual work life balance.
I've quit 2 jobs because I was not able to obtain proper level of vacation and that 'pay without leave' was not an option.

I did show them twice that, leaving and not being pay is always an option with a at-will contract.

They did not like it, I told them all I was asking was some down time and that I was more than willing to compromise for it, but that they were not.

I would not have those issues for similar level of responsibilities in France.
> According to the paper we're discussing, Wikipedia clearly has a measurable effect on science, so either these researchers did their statistics wrong, or you know something they don't. ;-)

“Has a measurable impact on science” and “is part of a category of things to which academia aa a whole has a negative response” are not, even approximately, mutually exclusive so, no, the dichotomy you try to draw is quite false.

Ask HN: Ever seen two companies share a domain?
When I was in college I was helping a small business set up a website. The business's name was long. The obvious .com domain name, while available, would have been unwieldy to type in an email. The owner often abbreviated the company's name with three letters, and wondered if we could have the three-letter domain ".com." Of course, that domain was already in use, to which he asked, "can we have it too?"

I asked what he wanted people to see when they typed in the web address. On the one hand, every millennial has stories of explaining how the internet works to impatient, older people. He was especially scandalized (and I don't think he fully believed me) when he learned what registered domain names generally cost. Remembering that conversation now has me thinking... the internet is a weird place full of ad-hoc cooperative arrangements. In the age of JSON-LD schemas, well-known URLs, and EXTERNAL SENDER warnings, perhaps no corporation with a significant digital strategy will stomach sharing a domain. But do any of you know of examples of domain sharing among smaller firms? Does anybody make it work? How did the arrangement come about?

I don't know if it's cultural, but as someone of the 'current generation' (Gen Z), I feel that the opposite is true and typing speeds increase as you get younger (to some limit).

I've tried to back this up and only found a single, questionable, data source[0] on the topic but I do attend several typing competitions and some of the young ages are phenomenal. I was beaten a few months ago by a 15 year old who was typing >220wpm+ for 5 minutes.

> But, isn't that discrimination?

Discrimination isn't by itself a problem, per se.

Discrimination combined with disempowerment/disenfranchisement/subservience, that is a problem.

I direct absolutely zero sympathy toward the Princeton grad who was born on third but thinks they hit a triple. Those are people who already hold much of the power in society, while simultaneously having no true understanding of what it's like to not be born into a life of privilege.

And those are the people this article is about: the privileged few who push the mostly false narrative that the rest of us can claw and scrape and eventually achieve the life they were simply given through birthright.

> Why should I belittle the hard work of a person that was fortunate enough to attend a prestigious university that gave them certain privileges? What is that majority trying to achieve? A world where that hypothetical person would stop trying?

A world in which everyone has approximately the same basic set of opportunities irrespective of the circumstances they were born in. A world in which hard work and individual achievement are, in fact, the primary determinant of success. In short: the very world these hucksters want us to believe exists today but doesn't.

Is that actually possible in the end? No. Inequality will always exist to some extent. But we can sure get a lot closer than the plutocratic disaster that we have today.

Heck, just raising the federal minimum wage in the US would go a long way. But when more than half of congress are millionaires (https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2020/04/majority-of-lawmake...) it's no great wonder that they have little sympathy, empathy, or just basic understanding of the rest of us and the lives we lead.
Specialization, hierarchy and privilege have the same roots.

And this is difficult to avoid because of the inherent benefits of specialization.
Done right, this could actually be better.

I own a lawn mower. In fact I usually own two lawn mowers--the new one and the one I just need to repair a bit.

All of my neighbors own lawn mowers. We all use our lawn mowers about an hour per week. It's extremely wasteful to purchase 5 lawn mowers to perform 5 hours of mowing per week.

We could all hire Suwanda down the street to mow our lawns, but that would cost a lot more than buying a mower. That's mostly because of the labor costs. So what if Suwanda just rented the mower to us and charged us enough to keep the blade sharp and the engine tuned? And what if we didn't pick it up and return it to Suwanda? What if we just passed it around between us, and Suwanda was the 6th stop in the rotation?

And every once in a while, the person who got it after Suwanda noticed it was a completely different mower. So 5-6 neighbors pay $5/month and always have a mower in tip-top shape, but never actually maintain it and never shop for a new one.
It is, but there is the question of how much effort MS puts into it. So far it seems to be that it is not so much "built on" as it is a low effort reskin.
You're going to see a flood of these announcements soon.
Sure we do - almost all of us are saving for retirement at some point. It's up to you to decide how much you want to set aside so that you can potentially retire early if you're willing to sacrifice now.
Many companies have the 'bet the farm' style of management with movies. MGM 'bet the farm' many times with big production movies and then a plan B movie to hold them over if it failed. A good pairing of that would be Gone with the wind (bet the farm) and plan b Wizard of Oz. Get a few duds in a row and you get sold off to one of your competitors. Wonder where they will end up after Amazon.

It was actually Iger who restructured Disney with the double/homerun style movies. Why did Disney crank out junk movie after junk movie in the 90s? Because they were cheap and consistently made money. I think Disney has gone back to bet the farm style. I personally think it will end up with them sliced up in to a bunch of smaller companies.
Yeah that is true. Also you could still stick with xor and shift/rotate, but make the shifts data-dependent. That would make it nonlinear (technically a multiplication), but analysis is generally more difficult.
>My biggest complaint is lack of Linux support, which is abominable since Linux is the most widely used OS on the planet, but what can you do?

Linux is not the most widely used desktop OS - that is windows by a long shot and that is the segment that matters here. Why would a software maker invest the time and effort in catering to a negligible slice of the desktop OS market?
Normal credit card customers broadly fall into two groups:

a) try to pay down to zero: "interest is expensive, so I pay off my balance as quickly as I can"

b) max out the credit limit: "I like to buy stuff. Any unused credit is a wasted opportunity". [1]

Even if people in category (b) have trouble repaying their balance, they will call the credit card company and negotiate a sustainable way to recover. Ideally they do this proactively. If not, the Collections department will help them find a solution.

Bust-out fraud, by contrast, is not normal: appear like a good customer for 6 months, get offered a credit limit increase, max out the new high limit, and suddenly disappear.

[1] Before anyone jumps in and say this is irrational or poor financial literacy, it can often be a well-thought through decision. Just with a different set of tradeoffs than your own. I use to run portfolio management for a credit card company. I worked with two very smart data scientists. One was in category (a). The other in category (b). Both knew exactly how much it cost in interest because they built the profitability models. And yet, buying nice stuff was still more important for the (b) person.

The original iPhone is the perfect size for my hands and thumb typing.

I was quite fast in landscape due to the placement of everything and my ability to also rock the phone while I typed. This increased my speed dramatically.

Sadly, that is not really an option anymore as I gladly give it up for the larger real estate of the 6" models.

If I have something long to say and I'm not too concerned about accuracy, I just use text to speech.
Is this the same old it compiles, ship it! Microsoft Spolsky talks about? I remember them in a totally different way, as a company which used paying customers as beta testers, where no single application used the same design language, where spurious windows with indecipherable error messages popped up randomly... in other words something close to the antithesis of what is written above. Part of this comes from Microsoft's focus on backwards compatibility which makes it possible for them to keep older parts around - just click through a few controls in Windows 10 to end up in something which looks like it started off in the Windows 3.x period - but another reason is probably the rivalry between different groups within Microsoft which want to push their own products based on their own toolkits.
6 oil changes in 45,000 km/2 years?

In Europe, on a modern (diesel but gasoline wouldn't be much different) car, lubricated with semi-synthetic oil that would be 1 oil change at around 30,000 km or at the most two (first one at 15,000 and second one at 45,000, or similar).

As a side note, it depends, but "no maintenance" unlike many people think, is not such a good idea, overall, I'll try to explain myself.

Many years ago, fully synthetic oils came out, they were awfully expensive but guaranteed something like 80,000 km on diesel and 120,000 km on gasoline without any change, you only had to refill to level and change (at double the normal interval, usually 15,000 or 20,000 km x 2= 30,000 or 40,000 km the oil filter).

And, people with older cars might remember this, lamps burned out much more often than modern leds, non-electronic distributors needed maintenance, as well as carburetors and spark plugs (or on diesel pumps/injectors), and to this you add the (normal for mineral oil) 10,000-15,000 km oil change.

This meant that every three to six months your car was normally put for one day in the hands of a professional that - besides doing these maintenance chores - tested your car, made sure that brakes and suspensions were in an efficient condition, could notice and repair minor leaks, loose bolts/parts, could (much better than what you normally can do) "feel" if anything in wheels, suspensions, steering wheels (and its servo)was fine, etc.

The adoption of fully synthetic oil meant that the car, unless you found yourself an issue/defect, was seen/tested by a professional mechanic once every 1 1/2 to 2 years, and this was not a good thing, for the overall "heath" (and safety) of the car.
Traditionally-published authors usually have little say in the layout of their books. I’ve heard of cases where authors have absolutely hated the cover artwork chosen by the publishing houses but were unable to sway opinions.

It’s part of the process of going with a traditional publisher. They do the marketing for you, as compared to self publishing, and therefore you have to accept their ‘marketing’ decisions, including cover design.

PYFL Output: the magic of simple side effects
People keep using the phrase "the education system is designed", but it really wasn't. People who say this really have no idea about the history of public education in this country, nor it's ongoing operation.

The system has been a tool used by some to advance their own selfish goals, but it's hard to say things about the system as a whole that is is actually honestly applicable across the entire system.

And it's even more complicated by the grudges people hold against the terrible teachers they had. it's understandable. Teachers hold important positions of authority in our most vulnerable and developing years. When they do not do what's best for us, it's a massive betrayal, and I can see why many would hold onto that and allow that to shape their entire view of the system. But it is an extremely skewed view.
What if they don't like the color of their uniforms?

In this world, there are first-order effects, second-order effects, and a further deep hierarchy. Estimating which is which is a useful skill.
Both that and "people refuse to use technology that makes them redundant" indeed seem to be hinted at. However, one of the quotes says that poor performance is the reason and if you click through to the original article, it seems fairly clear that there is a problem with the existing systems adapting poorly to different setups.

Capital investments occur when the cost of labor is greater than the cost of automation.

Most likely you can't.

The signal from these actions is clear - there's no stable footing in this company anymore. People are leaving because there is no telling what comes next and it is better to leave on your own terms than to get fired.

Promises are worthless because the company can break them at any time. If you're serious about any then put them in writing so the terms are clear.
