It's crazy. I always subconsciously assumed that Red Delicious apples were how apples have always been (because they taste/look so much less appetizing than the other ones, therefore they must be the most "natural"), and that those other apples were genetically modified. And, being an immigrant, I thought it might even be a cultural difference, and that Americans just prefer the taste of Red Delicious. This is blowing my mind.
People approached me about using it to continue support for flash. But that didn't go anywhere and I think they found other solutions mainly because I was running in headless and I also didn't like the idea of having to lock in the browser version because of the security risks that entails. But I think if you're willing to do that and build some sort of robotic process automation for Internet explorer yeah for sure...but it would be a totally different thing to the code base than I have.

probably a way to do it would be just with a remote desktop that you could sort of create to have the same you know isolation and clean slate security properties that remote browsing you know also has.

That's nice, but the blog post doesn't say anything about migrating libraries across versions? Looking at the comment thread, I see tialaramex's sibling comment suggested the blog post was about migration, but it's not.

I suppose migration is another possible use case for the union trick, and for that case C++ inline namespaces can be used as part of an implementation that achieves a broadly similar goal, but in a completely different way. As tialaramex notes, with inline namespaces you still end up with two different types.
I have seen no evidence that central banks are as agile as you claim. Changing a number on a central database is not impressive and doesn't prove they can execute a much more technical attack on a well defended network.

Central banks are more fragile than the Bitcoin network and they definitely don't have the support of the masses. I expect they would lose a lot more than just money in this attack.

Bitcoiners would love to pull these institutions out of the shadows and I don't think central banks survive when exposed to sunlight. Just a small community of coders caught wind of how CBs operate and constructed powerful platforms to carry out large scale speculative attacks on them. Imagine what happens when a few billion people understand how CBs operate... their days are numbered.
Unfortunately the people I have (had?) a good enough relationship with where I feel like I could ask for favors like that just moved on to other big tech companies that all do the same leetcode hazing. Definitely would have been something I'd have tried otherwise though.

> Huh! You left out the most funky part: you wrote a FIX parser in Typescript.

What's odd about that? Typescript is a boring middle-of-the-road language from the last ~10 years, it's a pretty reasonable default language (although structural typing is a bad default if you ask me).
This likely isn't much of an issue for the operating systems themselves, as they are well globalized and (in my experiences with Windows) adapt fine to RTL and CJK scripts.

Third-party apps, on the other hand, do seem rife with clipped text, even in English at nonstandard DPIs.

Edit: Ah, this was already said by the existing sibling comment.
Thinking about “traceability”
Apples, like Tomato are textbook examples of what mechanised volume production and warehousing does to "tasty". You can either have cheap food, or you can have good food, but good cheap food (where good means nutritious, delicious) is a lot harder and Cheap generally beats out good anyway, for most people.

Remember in context, we probably waste over 30% of the produce along the supply chain, seeking absolutely "perfect" blemish free apples in a tray, wrapped in plastic, cheaper than before.

Down here in Oz people have moved on from "organic is better for you" (debatable) to "I like it better" which being couched in the preference space, is less contestable. I do like things which taste bettter, and I am prepared to pay the premium to get them.

I would be interested if the same process which took red delicious to stable, thick skinned, resilient also reduced nutritive value, we read increasingly that abundant food production often includes reducing actual food value (vitamins, minerals, antioxidents, flavones), in favour of mass production but I don't know how true it is.

Yeah, my company is cheap and it's in the Philly region. I think the range extends up to about $150k. That's just base salary, so you could roughly estimate another 10-15% in other comp. Most senior devs seem to fall towards the low end, possibly due to the way they hire and perform merit increases.

It appears to matter in practice. Perhaps some people are struggling to talk around the question.

Absolutely no relation to my technical abilities for any job I'd be looking at (besides, of course, passing an interview to begin with).

Please don't get me wrong: if it was just a few days of practicing, I'd just get it over with and do it. But realistically, with the leetcode arms-race that's gone on for the past few years, where you're expected to solve multiple hard-level problems back-to-back, with no assistance, and as quickly as possible (ie: under 30 minutes), I'm staring down the barrel of probably 3+ months of full-time grinding to memorize as much of them as possible.

Just not worth it. I'm terribly depressed as it is already, and that would just make it much worse.
"Activity that is harmful to the economy?" I think they get much more glaring issues to care about if it comes to this.

What about their wrong simply being "getting too rich, and successful," and causing somebody a burst of jealousy?

Becoming richer than a partyman in some small village is very much a challenge to the party. What changed now is that the entire China has become that village.
My immediate feeling is this could skip all of the metric parts and lean more into "I will give you X% of revenue for Y amount of time" and get much the same effect of providing motivation for outside devs contributing one-off work. The metrics approach only using revenue as a goal can only capture some parts of project work. A DB upgrade or new load balancer doesn't get you new signups, but it can critical to handling the next few thousand users.
Keeping up with the technical side, keeping up with the product side, and keeping the rest of the team informed is usually too much for one person.
The hype was insane. Less hyperbolic language would have helped. Guffaws of laughter when "ginger" was finally outed. Nothing remotely like the revolution in personal transport promised.

Reminded me at the time, of the Clive Sinclair repeated sin of over-promise and under-deliver, empitomised by the Sinclair electric "car"

Now, consider the impact of the 2 wheel scooter instead. Under promised, over delivered (volume, freely available, now seen in many cities)

I've ridden Segway, and they're fun and clever. I see them all the time doing conducted tours around Brisbane riverfront. I see them all the time doing follow-the-play from the touchline on football coverage. They're a niche vehicle, locked up in IPR.

A really revolutionary transport modality needs to be unfettered by patent law to become ubiquitous. Watt's patents for the modern steam engine held back production for years (some might argue they encouraged attempts to get around the patent and so made for more diverse discoveries in steam)

Do you have probation period where you work? i.e. if an employee doesn't live up to expectation, release with short notice? Where I am, a 3 year contract typically carries a 3 month probation period, and a 1 year contract carries a 1 month probation period.

The problem is management are often too busy or overwhelmed with other stuff to observe and provide feedback until someone's passed the probation period then releasing them becomes a bureaucratic nightmare - and when the new hire's not getting feedback, you can be sure not a lot of the rest of the team are.
One thing I have noticed is that ESL speakers even from very different languages seem to have an easier time understanding each other than I do as a native speaker. As someone with mild attention issues the frustration is real, especially in the kind of long half-important meeting in which it is sometimes quite important to follow along but other times completely unnecessary.

IIRC, most apples aren't genetically modified as we use the term today, just 'hybridized'/crossbred or whatever the word is. I think they're also all sterile.
>> ‘You aren’t lazy, you just haven’t done the necessary prep and planning to make the thing you want to do feel straightforward’ might be just as useful advice.

> Yes. This would be a subset of "it's too difficult

I don’t see how this follows. Recognizing that you haven’t done the prep means it’s not too difficult if you do the prep.

If instead of doing the prep you go introspecting for fears and pain you will fail because you aren’t doing the next step, and that will in turn undermine your self belief and reinforce the idea that you need to do more introspection to overcome your resistance.

A lot of cults fuck people up with isomorphs of this idea.
This is a reality. I stay where I am for various reasons but a strong one is working with strong people that I enjoy working with.I've already seen a few walk away and it wouldn't take many more before I felt like it was a different place.
True. That's why I said "kind of".

However, I'd argue the CPU change is considered a black box vertical improvement by the vast majority of end users. It's a big innovation, but it's still just an improvement to an existing product. And AirPods aren't really groundbreaking.

Apple Watch counts, but is also just a nicer version of something available to people for almost a decade, whereas the iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air, and early Macintoshes really offered something very different from anything else you could reasonably get at the time.

A modern equivalent would be, say, "just works" AR glasses, or something no one even knew they might want (faster horses vs. cars, etc.). It's a lot to ask for, but that is the reputation they're trying to maintain, and they are worth over $2 trillion.

This is just a problem of lack of familiarity with the space. Crab apples are indeed much less palatable than Red Delicious apples.
Oh my god, Yes! let's use new media types as an excuse to justify the same bullshit reasons for censorship of the kind that has always been so wisely, carefully used by politicians, ideologues and states throughout history. Because obviously no authority has tried that before....

Mass media is nothing new and you greatly over estimate how differently rumors and gossip circulate today vs any time in the last couple centuries. It's far too early to tell if anything about modern social networks in any way makes them comparably dangerous to the apparent proposed alternative of some authority figure dictating what people should be allowed to say. This new love of crushing certain opinions in the name of fighting misinformation is all the more surprising coming from tech types, who I remember being more oriented towards messy freedom.

> The Red Delicious stands out to me as the textbook example of the power of naming and marketing. The origin story is unbeatable. The power of a name on our perceptions is undeniable.

Eh.... the Red Delicious's twin in naming is the Golden Delicious. Golden is a more prestigious description than red by any standard, and they're both "delicious". If you want to credit naming and marketing with the success of the Red Delicious, you need to explain why the Golden Delicious didn't succeed even more.
Seems like a simple value proposition here:
BNPL is growing like crazy. Square doesn't have a strong product in BNPL space. Add to that it will get a presence in AUS/NZ and it becomes a good value to Square expanding product and global footprint. Paying about 20-25% of it's market cap to acquire a company at appx 20X multiple of it's revenue with a growth rate of 1X.
Seems like a fair deal in today's hot market.
Is there anything else to it ?
You make good points. A reasonable path forward would be developing single purpose devices, with software written in safe languages like Rust and Swift (and OCaml, Haskell, etc. ?)

Simpler processors, simpler designs, secure small operating systems.

Before the 9/11 wrong turn our government made, the NSA did a lot of public good work hardening Linux, worked with the FBI to go after international digital crime syndicates, etc. We lost our way, and we need to find it again.

To do all this we need to start with the educational system, making secure computing a big thing in the job market, so upstream, professors do the right research, and train students.
Look for regional producers or farmers markets. I’m lucky to live in upstate NY with ready access to farm stands about 30 minutes away.

Usually smaller producers make different choices in terms of variety.

I've never been interesting enough to have gone through that many interviews.

I suspect that these companies have structural problems that inhibit their decision making. Possibly also personal problems.

I also suspect that if they can't say yes after a third interview then the candidate is non-judgmentally not a good fit, by demonstration. Both parties should consider that.

People need to be much stricter on what they mean my "pop".

Australian property prices are cyclic with an upward trend. There are (substantial) cyclic decreases in prices, especially in Sydney[1].

But people who talk about "popping" property prices seem to believe there will be a massive (50%+?) fall in prices.

But there are fundamental reasons why this is unlikely. The 2008 GFC causes a 16% decrease in prices in Australia[2], and it's hard to imagine something being worse. Prices recovered 10% the next year, because Australia avoided a recession and there is fundamental demand for living areas in out major cities.

The GFC caused a 18% decreases in prices in the US[3]. Given that Australian mortgage rules are different (there is no ability to walk way from a mortgage in Australia, unlike the US) it's unlikely a bubble in Australia will "pop" worse than that.

But 10% decreases occur relatively often. For some reason these are ignored, but the truth is these are the "pops" that take the froth out of the market.

I tried to help by rewriting the post so he could see the errors. I wasn't able to understand what part of it is supposed to be saying (in brackets below). But there are lots of missing words (often "the" and "a"), missing spaces after periods, and lack of capitalization. Even in mine it is a bit awkward, but it is better.

> Remember in context, we probably waste over 30% of the produce along the supply chain, seeking absolutely "perfect" blemish free apples in a tray, wrapped in plastic, cheaper than before.

over the last fifty years (or more?) grocery stores have evolved to have onsite bakeries/etc that take food that looks unappealing or would otherwise spoil soon and make them into prepared foods. Ready to eat meals, prepped ingredients, etc.

Though it's probably only down to 30% after efforts like these, though.

I think it's quite interesting that it's taken so long for a lackluster tasting food to decline in popularity.

When I moved to the US from Western Europe, the relative difference in food quality was quite apparent and I distinctly remember noticing this first with the apples:

At first I thought I might have chosen a bad batch, but after a couple of more buys I realised that these apples looked 'perfect' but always tasted foamy. I assumed what the article confirms: the apples were chosen for their looks and not their taste.

What I think is weird about that mentality is that surely after the initial buy "oh these look declicious!", the consumer will try them and think "oh these don't taste good. I won't buy them again". Maybe it's just habit and it's taken a while for people to change that habit, especially if you never try anything different to compare it with.

I know a lot of Americans that do not like apples because all they've ever had were the foamy ones.

Even if it were possible to accurately attribute revenue to particular contributions, I could see this compensation model leading to short term thinking. For example a contribution may generate a lot of revenue now, but could end up costing more when a security hole causes you to lose all your customers data. And who will fix bugs that don't directly contribute to revenue? Or work on behind the scenes code which isn't directly monetizable? Maybe this could work as a factor in a bonus that is a small portion of total compensation, but as a driver of total compensation there are far too many issues.

With canvas-sketch[1] you hit a keystroke when you see a generation you like, and it runs git commit, captures a print resolution output, and exports it as a file tagged with git hash and optional PRNG seed suffix. This way you can reproduce exactly a generative artwork from years ago, without the hassle of manual git/shell commands, and with any file/image viewer to browse and find these outputs at a later point.
