While he seems to have way less visionary ideas than the rest of the technorati (eg. no space company), he seemed to have one vision... building a "platform". (but IMO VR is a "visionary" vision... and admittedly a personal favorite of mine).

It was reported that Zuck was obsessed with the idea of building a "platform". As a young software developer, he was infatuated with the idea of others building off of what he (and co) created. Many of FB decisions were based on this vision (and the rest are reportedly SS decisions).

The pinnacle example of this was the original friend graph+api was fb trying to be a platform for games and social content (ended by Cambridge Analytica scandal and firmly killed by GDPR data sharing regulations).

Why else would FB host a developer conference? Because Zuck wanted to be like those other tech companies that build tech for tech people.

Oculus seems to be the next platform bet - its cool new tech without a strong leading company yet so there's room to own it - and it directly has a store and SDK so easy "platform" touch points. It seems that pumping up the metaverse is the roadmap to getting FB/Oculus as the integration point for AR/VR tech.
One example is of a game that no one ever has to play. The other is of something that effectively no one in modern society can live without and many more steps removed.
That's just story points with extra steps.

You're already using an abstracted measure of time, by working with a derivative value of "developer estimated hours". You're already doing timeline projections on the average throughput of your "adjusted developer hours" unit. That's most of the value right there.

You can get even better results, with a little less cognitive load, by applying the research that people are much more consistent in estimating complexity than time (note that your method relies on consistency, not accuracy, to succeed). A quick imagination exercise validates this point for most of us: You bought a new IKEA sofa - how much time will it take to build? Honestly hard to do, and we're never accurate. But consider instead: how hard is it? Way easier to answer. And if you already know how long it takes you on average to finish other tasks of similar apparent difficulty...

Try using your exact same system, but ask people to estimate the task in terms of complexity. Use any scale you like, as long as the units have consistent value in your developers' minds (I like "cups of coffee", personally). Make your Dev team agree on the difficulty score for each Feature, to ensure that consistency.

Side benefit: Devs stop worrying about time and taking shortcuts (aka "technical debt") to meet their time estimate that you don't believe anyway. They're also a lot more likely to consider hidden risks and sources of extra complexity in the estimate.

Then you just track the actual throughput with a confidence interval, and use that to make timeline projections with a confidence interval based on that tracking.

TLDR: try asking Devs to estimate complexity rather than time, and use a moving average with confidence interval rather than the static 1.6 multiplier to make timeline projections. You'll find your projections more accurate and developers less stressed about it. You'll also have reinvented story points.
That didn't piss me off at all. But agree that might offend others. I do see myself getting stale in different shops. I kinda stopped jumping around every 3 years at this point though. I might just sit for a while to make sure there is stability going forward.
That's right. And style guidelines in those other languages tend to recommend against such things.
It's an M.2 key E connector, not a PCI connector, but it doesn't follow the M.2 standard -- they're just reusing a cheaply available connector. The microcontroller they're using doesn't support PCIe, so it's probably just power, some serial interfaces, and maybe some boot/reset/interrupt pins.

As such, you should have far less of an issue integrating this onto a custom board than a real M.2 card that uses PCIe or USB.
In most states, I think it is pretty straight forward and can be done with a service like legal zoom.

It's PTCRB-certified as an "End Product", so it doesn't require the customer's product to be further PTCRB-certified.

It operates in 135+ countries.

It's an embeddable component that is to be installed in product manufacturers' end products. It is not just a reference design.

You can think of the "notecarriers", though, as OSS reference designs or accelerators. They're intended to make it quick to prototype and deploy pilots, before designing the m.2 connector into your own design.

I went looking for corroboration, too. All the news stories linked so far just cite the legal complaint.

I don’t want to see other sources back up this claim. But if credible evidence comes to light, I wouldn’t wait for a court to make some personal choices about Blizzard and its products.

Serious allegation.
Spreadsheet programs are incredibly powerful. I was a math education minor and one of the classes I remember most was using computers in the classroom and using spreadsheets to do things that aren't obvious like estimate square roots. (well at least not obvious to me)

However, I think spreadsheet programs are still way to complex for the vast majority of people. So many people are so math phobic that they won't even think of opening a spreadsheet.

One thing I've done with a spreadsheet a few dozen times is take the outputted CVS file my learning management system gives me in the form of last name, first name and convert it to first last in one cell. I still have to find the bookmarked answer I found years ago and cut and paste it in and I don't really understand how it works.

Yes, true. However, to push that vision forward in more aggressive ways, I would have expected even more vision. He did try for Xi to name their child... Joking aside. I am missing the debt here for the future.
How do you propose to pursue organized crime groups in Russia who are protected by the local authorities? Financial sanctions haven't been effective.
Right—I don't get how not putting in something resembling full effort can be corruption, but a company not paying you as much as they could, rather than what they must, isn't corruption.

- Use log auditing so that administrators can monitor activity and be alerted to
potential malicious activity.

- Periodically review all Kubernetes settings and use vulnerability scans to help
ensure risks are appropriately accounted for and security patches are applied.
Is that not a close proximity to how you could describe Twitter?
I think there's also an issue that a software engineer's job changes as they're more tenured at an organization. When you're newer, no one expects anything of you other than to come up to speed and build new stuff. If you have a project that doesn't require deep knowledge of the existing systems, push it to the newer guy.

Only once you have deep knowledge of the systems you work with does it really make sense to give you work like a complex redesign of a group of components in an online system. And you then have a responsibility to help new team members learn. You do more code reviews, and more consulting on projects for which you are not a primary contributor. And you get ugly projects that are related to your area of demonstrated "expertise". Is that "slowing down"? Or are you just doing different kinds of stuff? And is it because the engineer stagnated, or that the organization created a morass around them?
Shorting is available to pretty much everyone now, especially with Robinhood et al and easy access to options markets (of course most people don’t understand vol and probably shouldn’t trade options). But it’s been easy to short even on the legacy brokers for as long as I can remember (a decade plus).

The issue with shorting is that you have theoretically unlimited downside which means greater risk and familiarity with concepts like margining. That is often outside the grasp of the average retail investor.

> We all know it's the National Insecurity Agency[0], and that the NSA hoards & stockpiles 0day. They very rarely release tools and research papers designed to strengthen our IT infra, since they sit on so much 0day. There's no balance.

Well if the NSA does have loads of 0day then it's still better for them to give good security advice to strengthen infra, because it will limit the access adversary's have while they still have all the 0day's anyway.

i.e. they are advanced enough to not need to walk through an open door, so they might as well encourage others to close the doors because that will increase national security (while presumably not limiting their own access).

Re-Writing the AOSP Calendar App in Kotlin
Do you like the idea of insolvent pension funds that suddenly lose their debt assets? Moral hazards from people who start taking on loans they cannot afford under the assumption that more cancellations will happen? Higher interest rates and more aggressive collections/foreclosure efforts from lenders that must now account for debt cancellation?

Canceling debt does not make wealthy "see red." Long-term it would harm those who initially benefit from the cancellation by leaving less credit to go around and forcing people at the lower end of the income scale to accept less favorable loans.

If you want to upset the wealthy, you can do any or all of the following:

1. End stock buybacks. These sound nice in theory but in practice they have promoted short-term thinking and have disproportionately benefited the wealthy.

2. Eliminate the long-term capital gains tax rates and treat all capital gains as income (perhaps with some provisions for retirement income).

3. Treat cash loans backed by financial assets (stocks, bonds, investment properties, etc.) as income (many wealthy people use loans backed by their investment portfolios to avoid paying income tax, and their heirs pay no capital gains tax because of cost-basis adjustments), with possible exceptions for loans that are immediately invested (to allow for leveraged investment strategies) and exceptions for mortgages that pay for a personal residence.

4. Eliminate the various industry-specific carve-outs introduced in e.g. the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (which were nothing more than a corrupt way to buy votes from various senators).

and so forth. We have accumulated decades of policies that favor the wealthy, and as a result the income and wealth gaps have exploded.

You could make your point without age-related condescension. Had you not added this part, I'd honestly entered the whole comment much more receptively.

> Fact is you created yet another centralized and walled garden

That's quite true, you're right. Because it's the only way a one-dude team like me can create a product that solves problems like the one it solves.

> You can't even use makerlog without a twitter or facebook account. Do I really need to say more?

You can if you send me a message via email asking for a regular account. After all, in this new indie web, there are humans behind the screen that do care about these issues.

I've manually created accounts countless times. I'd gladly make one for you! The social login part is a spam prevention measure (and a very effective one, I must say, as I recently closed email signups due to spam).

What does a negotiation where one side can't be fired (and hence the other side cannot walk away) look like?

It looks irrelevant, because what I proposed was that people couldn't be fired just for joining a union/delegating their bargaining rights, which is something people were saying would pre-empt even the possibility of negotiation or collective bargaining.

Most negotiations are going to employ more reasonable positions on both sides (eg likely within one or two standard deviations from median wages) because good faith negotiations involve a degree of mutuality. If one side is being unreasonable then external mediation or a grievance process might arise.

I am not claiming that my proposal is the perfect solution for all situations and has no failure points. I don't really appreciate your use of maximal edge cases to break it like it was a theorem assertion. That just seems like you're more interested in negating the idea than exploring it.
Performance ratings are meaningless if you’re jumping ship every 2-4 years and the difference is between working twice as hard is a 2% raise vs a 4% one. What companies forget is new employees see the legacy of how you treated old employees over time.

The basic structure of small consistent pay bumps was extremely effective when people stayed at companies for decades. Work twice as hard and make 2 percent more for the next 30 years, that’s a big bump. Pensions pushed that out so even people nearing retirement still had reason to care.

I am not recommending people do the minimum, just acknowledging how people respond to incentives.
I think the dumb plan comes with the territory. If you think stalking someone as a solution to a problem makes sense, chances are reasoning isn't a skill you've developed very much. You tend to need that skill if you're going to make it hard to catch you. Basically the kind of person who would come up with this kind of a solution is not the kind of person who could pull it off, and those who can pull it off tend not to come up with this kind of nonsense.
The thing is ... complicated.

America defeated Japan in WW2, leading to the liberation of Korea, but it was immediately followed by the US and the Soviet dividing the country in half. To make matters more complicated, the US backed a right-wing former independence fighter, who turned out to be a corrupt asshole who rolled in the same bed with national traitors (those who had worked for Japan under occupation). Because America now needed a strong military presence to fight the cold war, it also pushed Korea to be more friendly with Japan.

The end result is that, in Korea, the "right wing" is friendlier toward the US and Japan, while the "left wing" tends to be more nationalistic (i.e., wanting a unified Korea) and hostile toward Japan. (Of course, even this is a gross simplification ...)

When AI Replaces Programmers
I actually like slack because it means stuff is written down. It is async communication though. Meaning.. I'll get back to messages when I get back to them. I generally put aside some time to read them in bulk every day.

When working from home you really only have:

* Scheduled repeated calls (daily standups etc)

* Scheduled once off calls

* Ad hoc calls

* Emails

* Slack/Teams

In general if someone just calls me out of the blue I'll ignore it until they follow up with a reason to why they need to contact me. Unless they "outrank" me - then I will answer.

That sounds awesome. Do you know of any builds that have done that?
Some is going there too, but it's a much smaller piece of the pie. Real Estate also has utility - you can live in it. Gold's utility is much lower - sure you can make jewelry out of it's used in small amounts in electronics. Crypto basically has no utility.
We took a similar approach for our documentation search. [0]

You can see the "inverted index" is rendered inline in the page, since everything is generated at build time.

When you type something that matches a key in the index, we fetch that index key and add it to the results. [1] [2]

Obviously we could do a lot better in terms of relevancy, but it's simple and fast.

Taking stagnant wages to imply that the labor is worth less is taking for granted that reduced prices means reduced value. It's probably more accurate (though still oversimplifying) to view it as a cartel suppressing wages.
Totally. I don’t fault Blizzard really at all for the evolution of WoW over the years. It had to evolve, and so it did. It just meant that for me, a lot of the magic was gone. But I had also grown up a lot, and had dramatically less free time, so I don’t even think I could ever support that “golden age” of WoW gaming even if it had never changed.

All in all, they grew up with their player base and I don’t fault them for it in the slightest. Sure, minor gripes here and there but generally speaking, they have made the right calls.

The topic is that all code is text, and everything can be parsed and understood based on specific language grammars, even if they're embedded within each other.

What are you even arguing at this point? This isn't about compilation or strings anymore. You don't like Vue's specific DSL? Or you don't understand it? Or you found a problem with the documentation? Or do you need a full grammar and syntax definition before you can do anything?

It's basically any valid `for..in/of` expression but you can always solve your mystery of "who knows" by just looking at the source code: https://github.com/vuejs/vue-next/blob/master/packages/compi...
It's like being in a relationship and breaking up because one is unhappy but refusing to talk to the other person about it. If you're unhappy with your pay and that's the only reason you're thinking about quitting, bring it up, what's the worst that could happen? To the people that say "retaliation", I find that highly unlikely. Every single place I've worked at, at least tried to accommodate me.

Yeah, they got vented into space et cetera, but I'd say in the first 2 movies humans actually failed to kill the xenomorphs (eggs on LV-426 and aboard Sulaco). At the end of the third movie the newly born xenomorph queen clearly dies. However, in the fourth movie the xenomorphs are again brought back through cloning.

Also, in "Prometheus" and "Alien: Covenant" it becomes apparent that the original crashed ship on LV-426 in "Alien" was not one of a kind, there were tons of ships carrying the gooey secret sauce of xenomorphs.

Also, at the end of the second movie the queen xenomorph was simply vented into space, but whether it died or not was not very clear. I mean, the xenomorphs seemed to be quite resilient and not too picky about things like atmosphere and cold temperatures.
You seem unaware of the history around the Pinkertons.

Short story is that this was a private agency that openly offered services like the ones performed by the Ebay contractors, all the way to the point of directed murder, and did across decades, within living memory.

Nowadays, such services are offered mainly in war zones, by companies like what used to be called Blackwater, later Xi, run by Erik Prince, brother of Betsy de Vos. So there is still a market served, just a bit more circumspectly. But nobody who hires them goes to jail, and they don't either.
