I have a PhD in computational physics. Although I didn't go into a career in physics, my degree was pretty instrumental in getting me a job in software engineering on a cutting-edge team. I think it would also be pretty simple for me to move into ML and deep learning. There are a few short programs like Galvanize that introduce the basics of data science, but they're just a veneer of "respectability." The doctorate is the real thing that opens doors.

I'm not saying it's worth your while to get a PhD. It isn't. Don't bother with a PhD. A PhD is basically never worth the investment, the time, and the loss of career development and earning opportunity.

That said, a PhD in almost any scientific discipline opens the door into a ton of computing careers, basically no questions asked. Engineers love to complain how PhD candidates can't solve problems or code their way out of a paper bag, but their companies still can't stop snatching PhD grads fast enough and offering them very competitive salaries. No one cares what exactly your PhD is in. The degree is basically used as proof that you're smart and you can stick to a challenging project that lasts several years.

Take it with a grain of salt.

A 10x can't be a 1x in 10 places. Maintaining 10x the average productivity requires being in harmony with the work environment, the environment makes the 10x engineer as much as he makes himself, you can't do that while working 10 jobs.
Personally I think GUIs took a wrong step somewhere between the Alto and the first Macs. Specifically because we've lost this ability: https://youtu.be/AnrlSqtpOkw?t=605

People say that CLIs are composable and GUIs aren't, and so CLIs are better for power users. They're right, for today's GUIs, but yesterday's GUIs were composable. We've lost that.
That’s not how the court decides if something is entrapment or not. To determine if something is entrapment there are two tests, and this fails both.

Objective test (Did LEOs use incentives that would cause a normally law-abiding person also do this?): Most normally law abiding people won’t launder money given the opportunity, as they have no incentive and the police didn’t provide any additional incentive here. Not entrapment on those grounds.

Subjective test (Was the defendant pressured into doing this?): It would be hard to argue that these people laundered money against their wills. Furthermore, they’ve all committed additional crimes which would predispose them to want to launder money. Not entrapment on those grounds either.
No, 'things outside' are only known to us as mediated through (what we perceive as) the body. The object of which you estimate your degree of belief lies within our experience. There is no sense in which you can say that you know something outside the means of perception. You cannot have degrees of belief about whether you are experiencing something in the first place.

> "Easy to learn" is very subjective

Not really. For example, a language that has no grammatical gender is inarguably easier to learn than a one that has.
I'd just like to check that you understand that when you buy a physical disk of a game sony/microsoft (for playstation/xbox respectively) still take a cut of the purchase.
The comment was about CA’s high rent. What are you going on about 2008?
I have a license for Synergy Pro, and they've stopped pushing users to use the garbage broken Synergy 2 which has always had enough issues to prevent me from recommending it, now users are directed to the latest Synergy 1 release, which works great for me across Windows, Mac, and Linux. (Always has...)

It was $5 iirc. I got more than what I paid for out of it. No hard feelings to those that I'm sure worked hard and put a lot of effort in on Synergy 2 once long ago. It wasn't meant to be. It won't be released in 2022 or 2023 either LOL, not in any kind of shape that you want to use, (or I'll gladly eat my own shoe leather in atonement for my heavy but informed skepticism.)
Many reasons, that I don't fully understand. A few are: adjuvant properties of the vaccine, and the fact that there's a booster dose given, and that there's a whole ton of spike protein made and not many other targets.

But the reasons don't really matter -- studies like https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2032195 have shown those vaccinated have significantly higher neutralizing antibody titers in their plasma than convalescent plasma, and slow decay of this response.

Of course, this isn't perfect evidence, as it is just the neutralizing antibody responses and the adaptive immune system response is much more complicated than this single measure.
It's not just you. I cannot manage to do people stuff over videochat.
Not to mention virtual whiteboards are a frustratingly poor imitation of the real deal.
On the other hand, I do work better on my own, when I just need to grind out some work.

I guess my ideal would be 2 or 3 days remote and the rest in office.
I would only hire that 10%, those 90% are saying I need more hand holding.
Tell this to the judge which stated this to Epic lawyers lmao. Don’t forget that Tencent who’s behind Epic takes 50% fee in its Android store in China and Tim Sweeney bans everyone in Twitter who reminds about this fact.
Unrelated to this thread, but keep up your attitude. I love people like you who persist in trying to engage in good faith.
It comes from nonsense like this: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2032195
> Edit 2: No, I'm not talking about webapps. You can sideload apps with a free developer account, similar to xbox.

This is disingenuous. Not only do you need a paid developer account, you are limited by the number apps you can sideload, you need to compile them yourself and sign them with your key, and they must be resigned and installed every 7 days. You also need to do all of that from a Mac.
A 2-dose vaccination regime (separated by 8-12 weeks) also gives our immune system time to build up the spike protein. An actual infection doesn't last as long and hence our immune system doesn't process it in the same way.
Let alone the cost of employing all the union railway workers, maintenance crews, technicians, etc and the footprint of the trains themselves operating.

There's a reason pipelines exist, and that is in their simplicity of transporting the product efficiently. Sure they can't transport anything else, but I don't think too many rocket boosters would be traveling to remote areas in Canada.
Most places only allow local timezones, even european jobs.
There were a lot of big words there but am I right at reading your statement as - "I'm exploiting employers so that I can found a start up that is able to monitor truant employees?"
Of course it mattered: Florida likely had fewer suicides due to businesses being forced to shut down.

The toll of California's lockdown was massive and it has nothing to show for it.
My employer walked back all their remote work promises. In fact, the new policy is more restrictive than the old one, which allowed at least some flexibility in work arrangements between supervisors and their direct reports.

> everyone else does support older hardware, usually by disabling newest nicest effects (like ray tracing stuff)

Isn’t that effectively what they’re doing here? They’re not taking away anything that people are using now - just saying that, for example, you aren’t getting the new ability to copy text out of images which is a cool feature but not a game changer or something anyone has existing habits around.

It seems far less of a gripe than, say, when they required GPUs capable of running a desktop compositor or dropped 32-bit support.

> If someone can provide a better platform for a smaller cut people would move to it.

I agree. That's also why I think it's unfair/unethical/monopolistic that Apple won't allow anyone else to try.
Which is exactly why Apple users specifically do not want third-party app distribution at all.

This isn't just blind fanboyism, either: PC gamers absolutely loathe Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store, because they want their entire collection of software to live on Steam. Yes, a decade and change ago everyone hated Steam, but now it's the established way of doing things. The more developer-friendly, competitive option is to have 15 different launchers, one for each publisher, with their own payment systems, terms of service, and so on.

You can see this in the reactions Apple users have to the Epic lawsuit, versus their reaction to stories of Apple demanding their cut from developers that don't have it to give. They're way more sympathetic to companies that aren't trying to split their app libraries in half.

(EDIT: I should probably clarify that I, myself, don't think alternative iOS app stores would actually take off without major cross-subsidies from powerful industry players. Google Play has a stranglehold in markets where it's available, even though Android has no technical lock-out like iOS. EGS on Android is a joke and I would never install it. On the other, OTHER hand, though... Android in China, where Google Play is banned, is basically PC digital downloads, pre-Steam.)
Just shows how bad the branding of Wise is. Every mention of Wise I see seems to refer to the old name.
My completely uneducated guess is a networking rule that wasn't properly validated or tested, and black-holed all traffic destined to 0.0.0.0/0 or similar.

That's my thing. Plenty of people who know they almost certainly had Covid weren't tested, some were tested with tests that were experimental, etc.

And while trying to predict second-order behavior effects is tricky either way it is pretty clear that saying "don't get the vaccine if you already had Covid" would scare some people away.
And until the studies happen there is no danger? The studies create the danger? Or may we behave like rational individuals and realize that "zero danger" is a political talking point which is fully debunked by the VAERS data?
If you've started your own thing, will your own thing use code?

If so, why not continue writing code?

If your goal is to hire people to write code, ask yourself if you are capable of doing it better.

Nobody is better able to cut through the bs in software these days than you, the business owner, and your customers-- the ones who pay you to survive.
They can try. They just shouldn't be allowed to force Apple to help them try, by forcing Apple to build them new APIs and open new vulnerability vectors to do it.
Trains need tracks but airplanes don't. Airplanes can also transport water, milk, corn syrup, and oil.

I find Biden's position on this to be odd given that he also agreed to a Russian oil pipeline recently (see https://nypost.com/2021/05/26/biden-waiving-sanctions-on-rus... or https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/25/politics/biden-defends-decisi...). The reality is we need oil. It is energy dense and supports a significant portion of our economy and individual lives. Oil pipelines can have spills, but they are comparatively rare. Now this oil will be transported through some other means, at a higher cost to consumers, with potentially greater environmental risk.

I am also deeply concerned that the withdrawal of permits signals an extreme degree of instability in America's business environment, which future investors and entrepreneurs have to now think about. Why would anyone invest here if they can't be sure what the government will allow or disallow next, especially with the fast-moving leftward political shift? A weaker business environment has numerous secondary implications. If the US economy is weaker, while other economies are getting stronger, our influence in the world will be impacted (economically, militarily, culturally).

I've had a draft for a similar post lying around for a long time too - this would be about the word "just". It's used too often to undervalue work (just a hobby project, just a webapp...) or be misleading about the complexity of things (just set the dns entry, just solve the halting problem).

Goa Recommends Ivermectin After Scientists Say Its Use Can End Covid-19 Pandemic
It's such a complicated semantic distinction, though. The formulation chemistries chosen for mRNA drug development efforts have a much smaller adjuvant effect (to allow people to better tolerate repeated administration of the agents). But here, using an (older, simpler) formulation chemistry that pisses off the immune system is useful. So is it an adjuvant or not?

So, it's otherwise functional but also chosen to have an adjuvant effect.
Yes, game publishing is slightly different but it's still an alternative. For example, you can easily resell and transport physical disks. There is real ownership tied to the disk itself. It's still not as good as a desktop operating system in choice but as it's not a general purpose computer, that's far more understandable than iOS.
I don’t know exactly because I managed 0 possible access for a long time, so temptation was low.

About a year after I quit, I made a new friend. He was a nice guy, seemed normal, but one day he casually mentioned that he occasionally used stimulants including amphetamines. I cut off all contact with him immediately (as did all of my close friends. It’s a good example of support in this case.)

I guess I was able to recognize and decisively take action to avoid temptation about a year in. This was likely also luck. I was in a pretty good place with my life in general, had that occurred six months earlier or six months later it could have had a different outcome.

So the answer is either a day or a year or never. It’s been ten years and I’ve only known where to get meth for about one day of it. I still get cravings to this day, I’m just no longer in the habit of indulging them.
They're interns. They are supposed to have their hands held, it's a learning position.
This conversation, when I've had it with people, usually ends up with the same conclusions: people would like to see their coworkers face-to-face like.... a couple times a month. People have deep relationships with others without needing to see them 5 times a day, after all!

I think the difficulties around relationship building in this time are deeply linked to whether you are able to socialize "through a computer" well or not. I'm not really talking about Zoom etc so much as just text chat or the like. There are definitely people more and less comfortable at it.
Not interested in employee monitoring but otherwise spot-on.
Finnish has no grammatical gender. Is it easier to learn than Spanish?
Indulge us, what are those actual motives?

Not that I believe that the rest of Canada somehow has the moral high ground or something but what is going on in Quebec language wise is frankly completely non-understandable from an outsider's point of view. From that both sides have good and bad arguments in the debate but at this point things are just silly. It feels like a never ending blood feud. The vicious cycle has to be broken.

Yes the Anglos weren't nice to French speakers. I sympathize.

Now the French speakers want to legislate doing the same to Anglos? Are they crazy? Sorry but sympathy withdrawn immediately!
10% are saying they enjoy no responsibility.
The point is that in order to create a competitive app store the notional competitor would have to create an entire hardware ecosystem to rival Apple. Apple is tying the sale of products together (their phone hardware with the app store software) in order to profit from their app store and they prohibit the app stores of competitors. This is the definition of anti-competitive monopoly[1].

You also write that Apple is dominant because it is good and good because it is locked down. This is an argument that's first impossible to verify and second irrelevant. We can't know if "locking down" and preventing other app stores from existing makes Apple better or worse since we can't look at the counter-factual reality where Apple isn't locked down. My intuition would be that more choices would be better, but again, we can't know. The argument is irrelevant because it's still anti-competitive behavior and illegal regardless of if it makes the product better or not. I might sell more soda if I included a bit of cocaine in every bottle, but I couldn't argue that it was legal to do so because it made the product better. Bundling IE with Windows for free may have made Windows better, and yet...

Given that it’s airborne chances are through breathing in proximity with someone who is currently contagious (and possibly asymptomatic).

Non-huge indoor spaces, absence of masks, breathing the same air for longer than 15-20 min all increase infection rates.

Am I understanding you correctly here: so a company that sells hardware, which they sell at a profit, has the right to exploit the works of others because it runs on their hardware?

That's a very strange point of view. So you would be OK with Google taking money from every website they list, because according to your logic it's Google who invested billions to make your website searchable and thus deserves a cut from whatever you earn with it?
Because that's kind of what's going on here.

Developers pay to get their app into the store. This should cover the cost of maintaining the app store. If you charge for your app, there might be an argument to be had. But if you sell products and services using the app, there's no way Apple is involved with that other than that the app runs on their hardware, which doesn't cost them a single cent.
So don’t use it. Oh, most of Google engineers over the world and Silicon Valley are using iPhones. They even are given for free on par with Pixels when you are being hired. Are they that dumb and don’t understand that Apple is milking them?
>whose output remains the same

This is irrelevant, though. You aren't paid based on your output, you're paid based on how much you cost.

Think of how much you pay for water. In place A, you might pay $0.02 per gallon of water. You move to place B, and they only charge $0.01 gallon of water. Are you going to keep paying $0.02/gallon? The value that the water provides to you hasn't changed, but why would you keep paying $0.02 when you could get it for $0.01?

In FB's view, you aren't any different. Even if you provide the same value, there's no reason to keep paying you $300k when they could pay you (or someone who replaces you) $150k.
