Agreed. Lazy-loading images seems like an option that should be a switch, maybe available at the document level, but up to the user agent to interpret. So that users can disable it.
Okay, so you admit he claims it did happen, but you say it didn't without supporting that claim at all. Do you have a source we can verify?
No, you’re completely wrong. This throws no shade on vaccinations whatsoever.
Yes, but my point is plenty of fairly ordinary engineers make it to L5 - it's nothing special. I feel uncomfortable going into this person's accomplishments, but other engineers I know were similarly shocked. If that and skipping some interviews is all being a leader in open source buys you, it isn't worth the extra effort from a bigCo career perspective.
Remote attestation of machine parameters, which is arguably even worse than the DRM aspect is not yet possible on PCs to my knowledge.
Side project isn't really impressive though like a to-do app in Rust. Yeah, that doesn't mean anything.

Side business actually is. Because it means you can build, launch, acquire, and retain; and you have to deal with customers.

If someone asked me to hand over access to a database with thousands if not millions of peoples PII, I would expect it to be "on the books", not just some fishing expedition. I would feel forced to hire lawyers just to validate the request. Fishing around would cause real harm to innocent bystanders.

I understand the practicality of smaller scale inquiries, but at a certain size the rules really aught to change, no?
Argentina Formally Recognizes Nonbinary People, a Latin American First
The toilet paper shortage has some more interesting aspects to it.

Eg people widely blamed 'panic buyers' 'hoarding' toilet paper, and made fun of how stupid and/or selfish people were.

In reality, much simpler explanations suffice:

Commercial toilet paper that you use in the office (on those big rolls) comes out of entirely different machines and with entirely different materials than the consumer grade stuff you use at home.

Normally, the demand for toilet paper is one of the most stable things in the world. So competition drives the manufacturers to run extremely efficient with no extra buffers.

But with the pandemic, all of a sudden there was a massive demand shift away from commercial grade to the lush consumer grad stuff.

Add in that many factories for all kinds of stuff had supply chain issues.

Yes, raising prices on the consumer grade toilet paper would have helped: it would have encouraged people to economise and to find substitutes (like going with the commercial grade stuff, or a bidet).

But for PR/psychological reasons, there seems to be a limit to how much supermarkets can raise prices for daily essentials.
I like the term "capital strike."

Companies don't want to pay more than $X. That's not the fault of labor. That's ownership trying to force labor's hand.

I’ve requested old domains of mine to get removed from archive.org and at least as of a few years ago it was an all or nothing thing. There was no surgical way to say “only remove content from between 1995 and 2005 when I owned the domain”. Maybe things have changed since then, though.

That's not the same thing. The reason that you couldn't buy toilet paper was because there was literally none of it on the shelf. That is a shortage. You could show up with $1,000 and you still can't make toilet paper show up out of thin air when it's not there.

What you are describing is having stores re-price toilet paper to reflect demand. And that would have fixed the shortage. The problem then isn't that toilet paper isn't available, its that its price becomes completely unethical - rich people and not-rich people both have an equal right to toilet paper and pricing it up to level where the less well compensated have a hard time affording it - even if is available - is ethically problematic. Outside of there being laws against price gouging, stores know that customers will never forgive them for this - if you are working at a minimum wage job and you show up to Target and toilet paper costs $150 you could very well swear to never go there again.

That is massively different than what is going on here. We're talking about huge corporations that have spent years reducing their work force that want to increase their work for now and are upset that they can't get the same prices for labor as before. It's not like labor is going to cost 10x as before - it's an incremental increase. And its not like this is some fundamental right - people of all income levels should have a basic right to keep themselves clean. Corporations don't get to dictate what it wants to pay its workers. A 25% bump in toilet paper costs probably wouldn't have fixed the toilet paper shortage. A 25% bump in pay may very well fix this "labor shortage".

They aren't the same things.
> Corporations, especially not giant entrenched monopolies like railroads, don't actually support the free market.

That's the beauty of a free market: it works even if the participants don't support it. Competition forces people to do the Right Thing.

Alas, enough people need to support free markets politically, otherwise it gets eroded over time.
I meant I didn't have any trouble DESPITE the fact that I upgrade it only a couple times per year.
That isn't what a shortage is in economics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortage

It is only a shortage if something is preventing the price from adjusting (like anti price gouging laws or price caps). That is not the case for labor. There is labor available if they pay more, and nothing is preventing them from paying more.

It is fine as long as your fratboy culture doesn't include nor ignore sexual harassment or sexism. At the end of the day it is your responsibility as an employer to provide a safe and fair work environment for everyone, it is illegal to not do it. Lots of women love partying, they aren't really a problem, the problem is that a some guys harass women at parties and you as an employer will need to take that seriously if partying happens at work.

This looks super useful! I was curious who I might be able to follow on Alias, so I checked out the list. I saw that an overwhelming majority of the people are white. I know this partly reflects the state of many of these fields right now, but it strikes me that Alias could do a lot of good by seeking out more people of color to follow. Visibility isn't everything, but it does matter. Alias could play a role in challenging the structural racism that has led to an over-representation of white folks as CEOs and thought-leaders in tech -related fields.
Much higher rate of sales (apps and IAP) and subscriptions than Android. Not sure how the ad market looks (I've not worked on ad-supported apps) but wouldn't be surprised if those—at least in some categories—also pay so much higher that they're more lucrative on iOS, too, despite the smaller user-base.

> But if that candidate only made the blog posts and put stuff on github to help them get work, and not, say, because they were interested in the subject?... Then that becomes a reason to ignore their blog and github.

they only wrote their resume to help get work, not because they're... i dunno, interested in resume writing. should i ignore their resume?

it's all just a source of stuff to talk to them about.
To add to the great advice in this article, a rule of thumb I have is to plan to write a review for the book I'm reading right from the get go. When I know I need to write a review once I'm finished, I play closer attention to the book's ideas, write thoughts and criticisms down, etc.

CS field has been famously short on labour for decades. Wouldn't we expect them to be less choosy?
My own experience backs this up: on the hiring side, I always use someone's personal projects as a fun discussion point in interviews (if they don't have any it doesn't count against them ... but like simonw says, it may help get an interview). On the being-hired side, I have a fair bit of tech writing and a few personal projects on my own website. I do these because I enjoy coding and learning, not because I want to get hired, but one of them (GoAWK) piqued the interest of Canonical's CTO and got me an interview and then a job.

There's a Mr. Potato Head joke in here somewhere.
That’s not accurate, Kubectl edit (or an apply on an existing resource) does immediately detect what needs changing.

For example if you edit a deployment, it will create a new ReplicaSet and new pods and do a gradual rollout from the old one.

There’s corner cases where a controller won’t let you edit certain fields of a resource because they didn’t cover that case, but that’s relatively rare.

Deleting a pod , which IME isn’t too common day to day but can be useful to recover from some failure conditions (usually low level problems with node, Storage, or network), is also a demonstration of declarative reactions at work: if it was created by a controller it will be immediately recreated. Pods are meant to be ephemeral.

Terraform certainly is declarative but it isn’t typically used as an engine that enables high availability and autoscale by scanning its declarative state and comparing to the real world. This is what Kubernetes excels at - continually scanning and reacting to changes in the world. Terraform I have found to be tricky to run continuously, any out of band state change can lead to it blowing away your resources.
These "just pay more" arguments seem to assume all employers have infinite money, and only refuse to pay employees more because they're mean.

Or am I missing some more sophisticated angle?

Thanks for the response!

I did find a review of one laptop that used this panel, and it looks like it's a designed-to-standard 8 bit panel with pretty much no coverage beyond sRGB, similar to the panels Apple was putting in MBPs around 2014 or 2015. Support for HDR (e.g. PQ) shouldn't be expected.

For what it's worth I'd be very interested in future upgrades for the screen quality. I'm fine with the current density (~200 DPI or so), although I know some have requested 4K screens. The real selling point would be a 10 bit panel with ST.2084 HDR support and full coverage for the P3 gamut. Something in line with base model laptops from Apple. (Obviously, such an upgrade would carry an understandable price premium.)
That would be great, too.
Interesting anecdote, where did you hear that? I remember the original source tweet that was something like, “invented homebrew but couldn’t invert binary tree so they rejected me.”
> The person who wrote the mod does not appear to be the one who linked it on KotakuInAction. Therefore that community can't take credit for the other mods and claim they balance each other out.

Then by the same logic, the sexualized mod doesn't count either. They were authored by the same person. Otherwise, this is yet another double standard: the sexualized mod counts despite not being linked by the author, yet the de-sexualized mod doesn't count because it want linked by the author.

I don't think it's productive to drag this out any longer, but as an outsider to this situation you come off as highly prejudiced and it makes me sympathize more with the people you're calling sexist and misogynist over a mod.
It's hard to believe you're arguing in good faith. The only reason for writing a resume is to help get work, as I'm sure you understand.

Godot Showcase – The Garden Path developer talks about his experience
We're building our business model to align incentives around product longevity. We want as many people using our products for as long as they possibly can. As a company, we benefit from that by continuing to develop new modules and upgrades and fostering the developing of compatible parts that can be sold through our marketplace. Even after an individual no longer needs their product, we want that product's life to extend by getting it refurbished or resold to the next consumer who can keep using it and participating in the ecosystem.
You are being downvoted, but you are right that on the margin paying people _not_ to work does have an impact.

But I say on the margin, because it's not 100% of the story.

It's not easy to design a system that provides for the needy, doesn't cost too much, and doesn't give undue incentives to become/stay needy.
Might depend on the job itself, but in Australia I get the impression that there are some easy and very well compensated rail jobs. Double pay on weekends, triple pay if it rains. $50/h to stand around a lot of the time. A friend does it on the side and can make more in a shift or two over a weekend than he does doing 5 days/week at his normal white collar day job.
I have a question:

How do these way early startups put together such animated, great looking website / landing pages?

Are one of you founders just brilliant front end designers? Is there some kind of easy/cheap service I’m missing out there? Did you just spend some crazy money on getting the page custom done for you?

Correct, they are betting that unemployment benefits and eviction maratoriums will end and the workers will come back. They don't want to get locked into higher labor costs. Some businesses genuinely can't operated at a higher cost price as well
Imagine passing a drug test, having two years of general labor experience, and telling the company you're willing to work overtime and then not get hired.

That is the level of pettiness general labor jobs are at. I've had several interviews and never had a drug addiction, willing to work for damn peanuts and they still wouldn't give me a job. I'm not saying I was a perfect candidate, but for real, getting a general labor was way harder than it was to do white collar jobs. Companies just don't hire anybody at those salaries. Then they complain when they only get people who can't pass a drug test. Yeah cause they quite literally are the only people in the world willing to put up with your BS as an employer right now.

Or the best part, these companies are in garbage cities nobody wants to live in anymore. I'm sorry, but a single walmart and 5 fast food restaurants does not make a desirable place to live.
Even if you are just practicing, it's still an opportunity for the company to convince you to change your mind.

And there is a legitimate discussion to be had about the impact of enhanced unemployment benefits on the labor market - especially since those benefits are temporary. When they run out, it could leave employers that hired people at the wages they can demand today with a workforce that is being compensated more than what comparable workforce would demand in a few months. The fact remains, if employers wanted to hire people, they could. It just costs more today - either via a higher base salary or offering something like a signing bonus. People didn't vanish into thin air - they just want more money to do the work. But it's not a shortage - it's a failed negotiation.
Just as workers lose income from time to time when they lose jobs, it is ok for business owners to cut their own salaries and profits for a short period of time while they attract workers.
Would you feel better with “demand in other sectors has been deemed more valuable and your business model may be unfeasible in the current labor climate?”

Means the same thing.
I think I big mistake people make here is that they think they are far better at everything on a computer than a non-programmer. They don't realize how much you can do in Excel and how much they suck at it. If you can't use it without a mouse and/or if you don't know pivot tables, you are just as much of a beginner as a C++ programmer who doesn't know what a pointer is.

It's only after trying to convert an excel sheet to [insert your favorite language] that they realize it would take them 6 month with a team of 5 to replicate what a single accountant did in a week.
It isn't quite the same thing. GPU prices are driven up because there aren't enough GPUs to meet the demand at MSRP prices. Which is both because demand has gone up due to crypto mining and supply went down because of the pandemic.

I don't think the railroad industry is having a hard time finding workers because there aren't enough unemployed people to hire, there are plenty of those. It sounds like demand is less than it was a year ago, and the supply of workers who aren't currently employed is probably higher. So something else is going on. Possibly, they've driven away peoeple with the skills they want with low pay and poor working conditions, not to mention laying off a bunch of them. And they aren't offering enough to attract new workers, especially if they aren't willing to train workers entering the industry.

They might have to raise prices or cut profits, if they can't then they should go out of business.
I’ve experienced this earlier in my career.

An economy in which there are a large number of job openings, with fair pay, that are in such legitimate demand that they offer training and other incentives, AND receive a sufficient number of capable applicants, yet never end up being filled.

It’s not that the positions aren’t really needed, or that the job listings are an excuse to hire cheaper, less qualified labor. The jobs just go unfulfilled, and actual business opportunities get left behind.

I don’t get it, but it’s a real phenomenon that doesn’t get enough attention.

So this would put the Framework laptop into the same category as a Thinkpad?

My old (8 years) Thinkpad has had: a new battery, a new keyboard (orange juice!), a new screen (upgrade!), new RAM, new HDD and a new charging plug.

All of the above were very simple with just a couple of screws to get the back cover off. No adhesive or force needed. Even the screen simply clipped off. The manual also comes with instructions on how to dismantle the laptop for repairs.

I sourced the OEM parts from eBay.

The only thing I was not able to change was the Wifi card. Apparently it's hard-locked to a specific model in the bios firmware, which I find a bit odd.
At the moment, there are exactly two things stopping me from jumping on this:

1) 3 buttons at the top of the mousepad, ideally contoured to be comfortable and easily differentiated.

2) A 3+ year warranty, rather than just 1 year.

The screen and the high-end internals are really grabbing me.
