You know, statements like this don't help a cause, they only end up alienating people (like casual third party observers, for example) the advocate claims to want on their side. Statements like this hinder a cause and are self-defeating as they cause the advocate to inadvertently become part of the problem they're trying to resolve.

It's slowly starting to trend because of three realizations backend developers are having: (1.) Although scalability is hard, distributed apps are really hard, particularly distributed debugging and logging. (2.) Monolithic servers are now powerful enough to host an entire billion dollar internet business with millions of simultaneous users.[*] (3.) Cloud providers make their huge profits in part by carefully engineering their billing to maximize how much they dark-pattern surprise-bill their clients the moment they have unexpected growth.

[*] In early 2010s, WhatsApp could handle 2M connections on a single 1U with Erlang; MigratoryData could handle 10-12M connections with Java on Linux. Epyc servers are even more powerful now.

This seems to be conflating several issues. Async just means non-blocking. Queue a unit of work (ie: Task) to the runtime scheduler and come back to it later.

How you implement that can be with the underlying async/await or with your own custom framework. There are many examples like Actor frameworks (Akka.net, Microsoft Orleans) or System.Channels<> or anything else.

You don't need a rewrite from zero, it's pretty easy to have a class with a while(true) loop contained in an async function processing things from a System.Channel<> and that will handle things on a single thread, while you enqueue work from anywhere. You can even use the BackgroundService base class to start from: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/ho...

Perhaps one root cause is that popular reviewers dig into battery life while the laptop is being used, but not when it's sleeping and/or powered down.

> you can't say end-to-end tests are not worth it

You can, actually.

But here's the thing: I've never seen an honest debate on E2E within an org. When your manager comes to you and says your team is going to start doing E2E, ask him/her if they are prepared for their schedule to slip by 30% or more.

They will either slither back into their office, or (most likely) they will insist that developers write E2E in addition to their current workload of writing unit tests, writing the actual code, and all of the other overhead (pull requests, approvals, JIRA ticket maintenance, interviews, etc.)

Developers are expected to pay the costs of E2E with no impact to the business.

What managers do not understand and has been my experience for many years now is that E2E is at least 30% of the cost of development. And that's probably low. I recall certain features where E2E took probably 200% or more time to get working. Because, unlike most unit tests, writing E2E tests is nontrivial. You may have to invent entirely new techniques and apparatus just for a single test.

If the costs of writing and maintaining E2E tests outweigh the benefits, then obviously it's not worth it. Not every bug is critical. In fact, go back 15 years and no one had any tests whatsoever. The world didn't end.

> you are doing end-to-end testing, the question is whether you're doing it before production or if your customers are doing it for you.

This reminds me of the point I've seen made elsewhere: E2E tests can be complemented by use of monitoring metrics, healthchecks, etc. for providing confidence that the system is working as intended (or for spotting cases where it's not working as intended).

As another commenter also observed, "volunteer" is a very poor description of the situation. What exactly are the options here for the prisoner involved?

And I think this is worth distinguishing: a slave is always prisoner of their enslaver. The reverse need not be the case, and yet our system turns prisoners into slaves through forced labor. There's no volunteerism involved here. It's about those with power, those without. Slavery can be understood best by how the powerful behave, not the powerless. No one would volunteer for this or prisoners wouldn't have to be forced to do it.

I'm always disappointed that the lessons of slavery still aren't understood in this country. It's painful and shameful.

> But China imprisoning populations solely for having a different religion and culture is worse than America imprisoning people for (at least mostly) real criminal convictions.

My culture says that growing and smoking cannabis is good. The US disagrees and makes that nonviolent crime a felony. The Uyghur culture says that worshipping Allah is good. China disagrees and makes that nonviolent crime a felony.

What's the difference, exactly? What makes one criminal conviction "real" and the other not?

Our incarceration system is no less culture-bound when we have half a million people imprisoned (1 in 5 prisoners) for nonviolent drug crimes.

With Tor the site you are going to is visible, but not who you are (there actually are some quibbles with this, but those don't seem to be your better argument); that someone--somewhere out there--is accessing a specific site doesn't seem to be particularly secret information. I think Tor might tend to use a single circuit for all of your traffic, which allows for correlations, but that is trivially fixable (you can hash the websites you are accessing to multiple circuits that egress with separate exit nodes, so you don't provide the attacker that information).

I installed linux to fix this problem (it did, at the cost of the camera, which stopped working.)

Under linux, tho, I've watched my battery max-charge decline 32% in about eighteen months.

My theory is that the XPS uses some sort Windows-integrated software to determine when the charge in the battery is critically (=battery-damagingly) low. If there's a firmware or hardware failsafe, it's too generous.

Linux lacks this integration, so the laptop chews up its battery instead of going into suspend.

My old Linux-running ThinkPad did not do this, IIRC. If I fell asleep with it beside me in bed, it would eventually power down at about 3% charge. Not great, not terrible.

Yeah, eyeing the Framework here also.

> Sure they need the NDP for a majority vote but it's nothing like the coalitions in a Government like Germany where parties come up with a formal coalition agreement.

Coalition agreements are 'formal' in the sense that they last until they get broken. And they get broken whenever it is politically convenient for the participants therein. They are alliances of convenience, not suicide pacts.

The libs will now govern as long as they have support of at least one other party in parliament. It's not that different from a formal coalition.

My problem with people saying "but it was engineered!" is that it the origin does not change what our reaction should be. The virus is here and now we have to face it.

It would be interesting to see some analysis comparing pre-IPO offers versus standard FAANG-style engineering offers and see what the monetary difference actually is.

In the not-so-distant past, start ups were pretty much the only avenue to secure a multiple-million dollar personal liquidity event, in the off chance you join a successful start up, work your tail off, and the company gets to a point where that exit happened (which was and still is rare).

But nowadays, with software development offers being what they are are large public companies with outstanding growth prospects, the argument that you need to join a start up to fast track earning millions is pretty much out the window. Not only do people who are working at large stable companies like Google & Facebook have the generous perks and large company work life balance stability behind them - they are also soundly beating almost all "successful" start up offers in terms of compensation over the long term.

I would love to see some real life practical numbers with start up offers at different stages of funding and how that would really compare to simply working at Google or Facebook over the same time horizon.

It seems the only reasons to work at a start up these days are if you really really love building products, want to wear many different hats, are frustrated by the pace of big companies, and are stifled by the big company processes that dominate the day to day life working at these companies.

Compelling reasons to work for a start up for sure, but compensation is not even in the top 10 reason to join a start up anymore, IMO.

These days, Windows will try to recover your context, but the implementation (like many other modern features like display scaling) is dependent on the app. As far as I've been able to tell, roughly most Microsoft and Electron apps will recover their states on reboot; most other apps won't.

Well, there are a lot of ways of investing your money in ways that track or exceed inflation, so it's not like people without savings are doing well with inflation whereas all those people with savings are getting screwed.

Further though, I would imagine that people who have a little savings but not that much, would end up keeping that in a savings account rather than investing it. As such, the little savings poor people do have would be eaten away by inflation.

Also, like you suggest, wages are not rising with inflation so that just makes things even worse.
> One of our Sr Staff Engineers, Rafael Ferreira, ran some numbers and applied queueing theory.

Is it just me or is queueing theory seemingly misused all over the place in software engineering. I don't know what was applied here, as it's omitted, but I've certainly seen people suggest that doing things like mandating that cycle time is decreased will increase throughput and justifying what they are saying with "queue theory".

Mathematical constructs are great, but they aren't worth much if you can't ensure their constraints are met.

agreed. I usually don't like the smell of cloth seats though. plus like I said, polyester still has problems for me.

end of the day, I've test driven volvos and they are overpriced for what you get compared to other luxury brands. I've had new Mercedes and they offer more for your buck.

so to me I'm just not the target audience for Volvo. and this kinda seals the deal for me.
Congrats on another release! It's great to see basic, well core, tools like this get the attention they deserve. Changes to improve performance by crafting code specifically for hardware where appropriate is especially nice IMHO.

It is worth pointing out that the conclusion and the settlement covers a time before Tether did a massive 10× growth in total circulating currency, and the reserves accounting of the latter phases are not well-established. By Tether's own (very sparse, compared to standards in the financial industry) reporting, ~75% of its reserves are "commercial paper," without any further identification of what commercial paper its holding. And if true, this would make it one of the largest holders of commercial paper, and yet no one has come forward to corroborate transacting commercial paper with Tether.

Since there's no information on what it's holding, it has fueled suspicion that a lot of the holdings are in things like cryptocurrency scam-like companies, or as another theory holds, invested in Evergrande property notes. Tether hasn't released any information that would favor or disfavor these hypotheses.

Yup, I bought that same model (to run Linux) on a long time reputation for Dell XPS on Linux and the power management is ridiculous. Absolutely terrible.

Am I completely crazy in thinking that we use the terms sync and async incorrectly in software?

Synchronous: Simultaneous, at the same time.

Asynchronous: Not Synchronous

So the basic category would be something like serial vs not serial where the "not serial" part consists of two approaches, synchronous, threads or forks for instance, and asynchronous, selectors and callbacks.

Right?...RIGHT?!?! Why do we refer to blocking calls as "sync"?!?!
Same happened to me with HP and thinkpad laptops.
I'll second this notion, in part.

It was a revelation that the warm colors and soft morning light I'd seen in National Geographic images of Africa as a child were real. In Ghana during the Harmattan, every morning and evening just look like that; it is incredibly beautiful. With that knowledge, I'm prepared to believe that other places in Africa might be similar.

The iPhone 13 review primarily made me want to go travel.

Technically, I still prefer the output from more-traditional imaging systems. The ergonomics of phone-cameras don't yet work for me, either.

What I was struck by from the article, though, was that the iPhone images were good-enough to be publishable from a photojournalism context. As these imaging systems are generally incremental improvements, that means the camera in your pocket right now can do it, too.
