Thanks for the thoughtful and considered replies, lots of food for thought! I genuinely wish to understand how to approach these issues better in terms of my own internal thought processes but also how others feel. At some point though, I think the feelings of others have less merit than my own, I'm just unsure how to be certain of where that boundary is and want to avoid being an inconsiderate jerk at the same time.
My understanding of the article is that product-first doesn't equal frontend, but rather that frontend-vs-backend and product-vs-infra are two different ways to categorize engineers, and that looking at roles from the latter's lenses may help in placing candidates in roles that fit their preferences better. This is a good insight, especially because in big companies, attrition seems to be a constant HR issue.

In my experience though, the problem is that the premise of this article presupposes a large enough, diverse enough engineering organization. For smaller shops, there may not be such a thing as a frontend architecture oriented role, or there may not be upper management support for infra oriented roles, etc.
You can do it in most languages by just using a wrapper type with fallible constructors.

A lot more awkward than dependent types, but no popular language has those.
Because it isn't about controlling the virus, it's about money and power.

I kind of admire the fun in the project and the thought and workmanship, but I’ll steer clear of calling this clever.
See there’s no benefit in using a $1500 rubidium oscillator as a holdover for a $500 GPSDO board when the application is an alarm clock. Kind of like paying $2000 to count the atoms in the souls of your shoe.
Maybe even more specifically, GUI / no GUI.

With few exceptions, backend/infrastructure roles will still often involve exposing and designing APIs, CLI utilities, etc

I tend to agree, though. Most times when I talk about frontend vs backend profiles, this is what I actually mean.
This thread is political correctness madness gone wild.

The phrase comes from Japanese<->American business relationships in the 70s through 90s. It is not sexist or racist. It literally means providing transparency to internal affairs.

> Strange to hear an Apple manager using it, but I wouldn't assume they were implying anything or had ill intent.

"Look, I will let you invest a million dollars in Apple if you will sort of open the kimono on Xerox Parc." -- Steve Jobs, Xerox Parc, 1979

Under the Xerox Parc kimono, he found a prototype of the modern computer mouse.

Ashley's source for why this is offensive and my source for why it's not are the same (from her screenshot): https://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/open-kimono.asp

Investopedia says the term is "offensive" but the only reason they cite is an NYT article from 1998:

> New York Times reporter Stephen Greenhouse became one of the first to draw broad attention to the term when he noted that marketers at Microsoft (MSFT) had embraced it. At the time, he did caution that the use of open kimono may have originally indicated a disrespectful attitude toward the Japanese businessmen who were buying American companies.

It wasn't even disrespectful because of race, it was because Japanese businessmen were buying lots of American companies and doing due diligence. Also, kimonos are worn by men, women, and children.

In reality, Investopedia is probably labeling it "offensive" for people like me who know it is not offensive, but are unaware that using it could lead to problems.
That's a good thing. No one should be testing nuclear weapons.
"not liberal enough to vote D, not conservative enough to vote R"? That is a very reductive view. What do you actually support? Is climate change real? Do workers deserve more rights like minimum wage, fedrally mandated paid holidy, fixed working hours? Then there are "social" issues the government shoulden't even have a hand in unless you want a theoracy. The modern right only fights on the basis of said "social" issues. If that is the only thing important to you, vote R otherwise vote D but keep pressuring them.
Also, even with countries with multiple parties it just turns into a race between two. In India its BJP or Congress, in Pakistan until very recently it was PPP or PML, now there is also PTI. In UK its conservative or labor. So you kust pick one of the two and push that one for what you want, there is no perfect representation no matter how many parties you have.
This is basically the precursor of videogame tokens and token based payment systems. Iirc Roblox pays their developers with Robux this way closing the ecosystem and making money not leave the game. It's incredible how the governments haven't caught up on it yet.
Personally, I wonder if it's less "party of Trump" and more "party of Winning".

A lot of Social Conservative policy is terrible for business (How much money was lost by states chasing those 'Bathroom Bill' regulations?). A lot of pro-business/Fiscal Conservative policy is difficult to square with traditional moral values (You want a traditional household with a full-time parent, but can't figure out that low wages make it impossible?)

Both factions seem willing to ignore this because they know they can win elections by their combined might.

I suspect if you look at it, you'll see that the party platform has become progressively more narrowly focused and sloganized as a result of that. Focusing on abortion and gay marriage to the exclusion of any more nuanced social issues throws a bone to the morality crowd without having to let them ask "isn't unconstrained billionaire greed a sin?" Simplifying all financial policy to "taxes bad" is pro-business but not as offensive to the morals crowd as admitting "systemic racism is probably leaving a lot of money and productivity on the table"

I suspect backing Trump is just further reaction on that scale. It worked once in dramatic style (they won an election largely seen a formality) so they're doubling down on it.

However, I'll say the same thing applies to a degree on the Democratic side, in a variant form. They've decided to go for "broad appeal" rather than "a few specific silo niches", which results in milk-toast moderate candidates that can't possibly offend anyone.

What's interesting is that any electoral success for either of these paradigms just reinforces them, but any failure never seems to cause rethink.
Google is the most widely-viewed website in the world (~87 billion monthly page views) so even if you don't use it, much of the rest of the world does. Not trying to improve things that are widely used isn't an option for me so I'll keep trying, but your point that opting out is an option for some people is taken.

Even if you don't use Google, however, the way they implement things sets a precedent for the rest of the web... and I don't want this practice to spread.
>It's not hard to imagine that the companion app, which is the only way to use the device, requires Facebook login and then you just end up with a few hundred dollars worth of regular old glasses.

That's me. I don't have an Oculus Quest 2 but have heard good things about it. But I can't get one because my Facebook account was shut down without explanation in 2019. Despite its age (15 years) I barely used it, let alone for anything "controversial", but did regularly log into it. I repeatedly tried to verify my identity by submitting an image of my driver's license, without any response.

If a Facebook employee is reading this ... I don't want to create a fake new Facebook account (which would be against the TOS, anyway). I want my own back.
Pardon my following likely idiotic statement from a layperson, but the surprising matter of the charge distribution within the neutron suggests that the nuclear "weak force" is actually just electrostatic force. So that is to say, if the neutron is slightly negative near the surface, what if that's the entire basis of the force that makes neutrons able to bind protons in the atom nucleus. We would expect this to be a kind of dipole whose field drops off rapidly with distance.
> Forcing employees to pee in bottles is pretty bad.

Yes it is(Like dozens of other things listed in that Wiki), But I didn't ask that. I wanted to know how do you suggest we strike at 'the weakness of Amazon' to fix it (Like you suggested) that it treats it's employees with dignity and respect after that?

Because IMO if there's anything, It could have been done when Amazon's mistreatment of its workers surfaced way back in 2001.

>Hah, the notion that punishments always work is funny. Good one. Try that on your kids.

That's the point of punishments, isn't it? Just calling them out is convenient but does nothing.

> Look, making a punishment bigger may or may not help.

That's the whole point. They're too big for any punishments, Hence qualified people have been arguing that private companies shouldn't get that big(It undermines the basic tenants of democracy reg accumulation of power); But unfortunately those who can take action about it are also getting big thanks to $AMZN.

I'm the author of xo. I appreciate the reference here, but that's not really what xo does. It generates all boilerplate for you directly based on whatever is defined by the database. It doesn't do anything with YAML, nor does it generate a SQL schema. xo does have 2 templates that _generates_ YAML and _generates_ SQL queries to recreate the schema, but the only input you can give xo is an active database.
Thats an incredibly simplified take on it. HK might not represent a large part of the chinese economy but it still facilitates a large part of foreign investment into chinese companies.

In CN there are largely three types of listings A shares, B shares and H shares. A & B are listed on SZ and SH exchange and are not freely traded like you know it from the west. H shares are listed on HK exchange and are freely traded using the Hong Kong Dollar.

This is why companies like Tencent are dual listed on Shanghai and Hong Kong exchange, to facilitate foreign investment that wouldnt be possible in the same way if Tencent was only listed as B class on Shanghai exchange.
Yes and that is far easier to do then containing a fusion reaction.

There are known well understood engineering solution that have been known since the 70s and that work fine.

The real danger is the high pressure that PWR are under and the chemical instability of the elements that were put together in those designs.

Reactors that are not under pressure and do not have chemical instability that lead to explosive cases have a very contained area of effect even in a worst case.
GTK, which we can't use easily due to licensing headaches and deprecates useful widgets faster than we can try to use them, or Qt, which we can't use due easily to licensing headaches and with QtQuick is just web apps in more complicated, or smaller frameworks, which already looked terrible when they were new?

And outside a hard, but small core of Mac users, native controls also aren't a selling point to end users. They're harder to work with, more difficult to style, to no advantage to an end user who more often than not couldn't even tell you what the native controls of Windows are. (And I suspect most Microsoft employees can't either, if Windows 10/11 is any indication.)
No way. Letting someone else change your license is dumb.
There are remembrance ceremonies periodically. The last one occurred this year, with a speech from the president. The problem is that, as everywhere else, the extreme-left is generating controversies and trying to re-interpret History with today standards and pressuring everyone to not celebrate people like him.
Your article content is being very much interested, I am very impressed with your post. I hope to receive more great posts. https://www.jcpenneykiosk.bid/
your right, sarcasm is a tool of the devil and it's so unauthentic, it's like lying but with an even more evil purpose.

You are complaining, right now, about how now women get a situational advantage. And we shouldn't celebrate that they are better represented in academia! No mas zepto, at this point you just need to get out in the world and see what life is like for others, quit worrying about how underprivileged you are.
OneNote desktop used to be great as well.

The new version was botched last I tried.
Last year there was a guy in Rotterdam who moved there and decided to get to know the city better… by running through every street!
I’ve met the guy once when I was out running myself and pretty much the only thing he used was a small pocket map and a marker to track where he’d been.

Took him a while to complete all of it but it sure sounded like a cool project.

Edit:
I’ve just found this: https://runallthestreets.com/resources/ turns out that there are way more people doing this.
> How do we know your friend is wrong about their existence?

Because if they're right, there's no way to know anything about the world. Even the PRC government now admits the camps exist, and their propaganda approach has moved on from outright denial to other tactics.
Oh my god that's hilarious

Here's the link: https://youtu.be/IMAav163SFQ?t=42
For web.
My guess is that it's a framework issue (whatever Google framework they're using internally makes this the easiest approach) and no one has complained loudly enough for it to reach the person who can change it.
The event in this story took place in 1954 and India was sanctioned in 1998. I'd expect that there's a wealth of information between those two time periods that give evidence that we shouldn't be; you're also talking about post-Cold War time period in which, although non-linearly, the world has been attempting to disarm.
No, the problem is that the built in sources aren’t funky enough ;)

In all seriousness, though, yes and guaranteeing that the manufacturing process itself can “bake” in the randomness is a super interesting area of research. It’s like 99% of the manufacturing process is an exercise in reducing variability, and then there’s PUFs, where you’re basically trying to maximize variability, but in such a way that you maintain computational precision.
A question out of curiosity: would you prefer DDR to be crushed militarily as well, instead of just giving up the ghost in 1989?

As a fellow European, I can see that communists are somehow still considered better than the Nazis, and part of the difference might be that their gulags were never conquered by an external force and photos of their skeletal prisoners never made it to the media. They mostly dismantled them themselves once Stalin was dead and the regimes behind the Iron Curtain turned from outright murderous to just oppressive.
> the agreement Great Britain had for the 100 year lease of Hong Kong was with the Nationalist (Taiwan) government and not the PRC

This appears to be a difficult argument to make in a consistent way. HK was ceded to GB a the Treaty of Nanking[1] which was between the UK and the Qing Dynasty Chinese government. It was later expanded in 1897, again with the Qing Dynasty.

That Dynasty collapsed in the early 20th century. That was followed by the warlord era, and then the nationalist government in the 1930s. That lasted until defeated by the Communist government in 1949.

So there were only around 20 years the Nationalist government governed mainland China, and it was long after the treaty ceding HK.

Can you expound on this idea a bit? I don't get what you mean, but it sounds possibly interesting.
From what I understand, there were a few such tickets created for multiple people on that team. “Make X’s life hell”. It’s at best a poorly thought out joke, but it is worth mentioning that this ticket was not isolated to her.
They do talk quite a bit about supporting accessibility on the web and in Chrome so they already have an internal reason to use href attributes if there's someone willing to make the case to whoever the decision maker is for Maps.
No, I don't think so. You don't need to be strictly in an infra-oriented position to do infra oriented work. The most common example is the proverbial senior developer setting stack standards for their more junior team (despite being in a role that is largely oriented towards shipping actual products).

Conversely, one could be a product-first infra person, who ships widely useful tools but whose code may be of questionable quality (e.g. someone might duck tape together some mission critical CI pipeline w/ python and bash and no tests)
Not when you strap an HVAC filter on it. My setup is ~600cfm with much more filtering. Not sure what the MERV is but the cylindrical layer is much thicker and heavy duty than an HVAC filter.
For future reference it's very rare that setInterval is what you want to use (vs recursive setTimeout, like another reply suggested)

Unfortunately JavaScript is one of those languages that has lots of "never or rarely use this" cases
Nato just extended its frontiers to Hindukush as german minister said. If they found a pretext to invade afganistan (and irak) they will find a reason to invade other countries also.
Neither are experimental.
I think this is true for many places around the world: where racism is just as serious or more so than in the US, but racism appears more prominent in the US because the issue has been dealt with more head on.
Of course, it's real BTC. The exchange debits the internal account and then uses its BTC reserves to make a payment to the BTC address. The supply of BTC is the sum of BTC balances and this includes balances held in BTC addresses as well as balances held in exchange accounts, just like the supply of dollars includes cash and central bank reserves as well as USD balances held in bank accounts. BTC balances in exchange accounts can be spent just like BTC held in BTC addresses, and are therefore as "real" as BTC held in BTC addresses. To think otherwise is an exercise in wishful thinking on your part, or not really understanding how money works.
It sounds like your issue was polling and not JS. scheduleWithFixedDelay would have hurt you just as bad.

it seems so strange to me that this is just an ongoing thing. day after day. week after week. month after month. year after year. headline after headline.

like, i can explain or understand most things in the world that interest me -- why most problems exist, for instance (racism, prob).

but in the case of this, is it possible that the US government, under umpteen presidents, has little to no control over Russia...errrr....somebody destroying CIA assets....errrrr....State Department employees?

> should an emergency room be free to refuse care?

Let’s say instead of “unvaccinated” that they’re actually wildly radioactive and suffering radiation poisoning. Should we treat that person, or turn them away because they could irradiate the ER?
I'm year two into this and I have to say I feel like 80% of my time has been wasted. What did you do before you took time off and what did you do after the 8 years?
Are you OCR'ing websites?
I'd say it depends on two things
1) where are you based?

2) will you be incorporating anyway?

First off, if you're not in the US, it's a pain to get setup in the states. Yes Stripe Atlas goes some way to helping, but setting up accounts in the US is not easy, so if you're not in the US, you're probably better off registering in your home country first. You can always spin up to a Delaware company.

Do you need to incorporate at all at this stage? Leave this off as long as you can. Not because it's challenging, but if you don't need it, you don't need it. Focus on what needs to be done to push your project forward. Then when you absolutely need to incorporate, do it.
"In France, you mostly see him as a caricature nowadays."
Certainly not, not for 60% of French people at least, if you check the polling regarding the last ceremony.

"Napoleon's invasions […] created the imbalanced situation that led to two world wars." what? That's quite a stretch you're proposing here.
Production Engineer sounds like an engineer whose goal is to enable the rest of the engineering team to deliver products. You're not directly delivering the products.

To me, the split between product and infrastructure is based on who your customers are. If your customers are other engineers within your company, then you're in infrastructure. If your clients are external then you're in product.
Sorry, but physics is more than just words and “intuition.” There is a common belief amount crackpots that scientists and mathematicians beucase thye just want to obscure things.
It has more gotchas than most languages since bad backend languages just stop getting adopted, and being client-side, issues are less obvious as long as it appears to work. n^2 code that should be n with some memoization might blow up a backend service, but freezing the UI for 50 ms is ok-ish in the browser.
Why are you implying that this is a bad thing...? Sanctions are generally not punishing enough, and in this case I think India should have been disarmed. They cannot even figure out basic things like building roads, using the toilet, not dumping garbage into rivers, etc.

Hello, HR? kungfufrog is implying that I'm easy and it's making me uncomfortable.

Is there any link between "open the kimono" and "comfort women" or is that conjecture?

It's a fascinating phrase, perhaps not least because nobody knows where it comes from but somehow people also seem to know that it's innocuous or know that it's sexist.
A Realtime Gamification Feature That Scales to Millions of Devices
I see where you're going with this, but I think about it a little bit differently. Product-orientation and infrastruture-orientation are two different skill sets and professional software developers should have some development on both axes.

I have worked with developers all over the map on these axes and I think the fatal combination is someone who spikes on one axes but ignorance or even active disregard for the other. The failure modes look very different though. The "product-only" engineer quickly whips up something that satisfies their user's need, but over time the code becomes sphagetti that is buggy and painful to modify and the users are unhappy. The "infrastruture-only" engineer makes a puristic system that seems impressive from a technical point of view, but interfaces poorly with the customer's problems. Customers either have to go through contortions to make their problem fit into the architecture of the system or they just move on and find something that is better suited to them.
No, physics is more than just intuition and prose. We use formal language and notation in order maintain correctness.
