It sounds like it is time to move on. From one senior person to another, here's my playbook.

Consider your current network of former colleagues and people you have met at conferences, etc. (Or social networks/slacks/HN, if that's more your thing.) If you don't have any place to start, look on LinkedIn (or your local alternative if LI isn't big where you are).

I'd start to refresh/revive those networks. That's the best way to find a job, in my experience (I am in the USA, not in Silicon Valley, fwiw).

If you have kept them up, then start to talk to folks about what they are seeing for people with your skillset or bigger tech trends.

If you have not talked to these folks, reach out and ask them for coffee (virtual or not). Ask them about their current challenges and how they are doing. People (myself included) love to talk about themselves. At this stage DO NOT ask them for work or about a job. You're reviving these networks and nothing will harm that like seeming desperate (which you are not!).

After a couple of months of checking in, you will have a better idea of the job market available to you without necessarily going through the normal job application process.

At this point, I'd start to let folks know you are looking to make a change. Find 3-10 companies where:

* you know someone (or know someone who knows someone)
* you are interested in some aspect of the company (tech, domain, team, approach to the problem)
* you have reviewed their jobs page or otherwise determined they are hiring for your skillset/experience

Reach out to those companies, preferably through your contact, and ask if they are looking for someone with your experience, or if they know anyone who is. (The latter is a nice escape hatch if they know it won't fit, and you never know what serendipity will bring.)

Keep track of all of these (I like a simple spreadsheet, I'm sure there are other solutions). While finding a new job may be #1 on your priority list, it moves up and down hiring manager's priorities, so don't feel bad about pinging folks regularly. As companies move off the list (not a fit, or for whatever other reason) add new companies to the list.

Also, take the time to do research to find out what you should be paid. Lots of good articles here: https://fearlesssalarynegotiation.com/

This is going to be kinda painful, so prepare for that (as you mentioned, rejection will occur, as will bad interviews and tasks that take up your free time).

But once you are through, you'll have found a job where you are valued and a few months after that you'll wonder why you waited so long.
It's really a numbers game. Just China and India combined have 2.8 billion people, 10x more than USA. A lot of them are going to be geniuses.

Since the 90s the USA has "won" by attracting the top talent of India, China and most of the rest of the world, resulting in a booming tech sector directly at the expense of those countries. Now in recent years immigration rules, politics and bureaucracy are making this less and less feasible, and you are already seeing the results. The next generation of teenagers worldwide are using TikTok, not Facebook or Instagram. Freshworks just had a $15B IPO and is shaking up the CRM market. There are countless other examples.
Is that's why it got flagged? Why not just replace the URL? I don't think flagging is reasonable if this is true.
My point assumes no such thing. If you have a point to make yourself, feel free to make it instead of asking leading questions.

Nano Colors mentioned Colorette in docs and Colorette author in LICENSE before Twitter thread. Colorette’s author asked m and I add the mention and agreed on the text.
I vaguely rememberering that there are half a million people in the UK with HGV licenses. But only half of them are working as drivers. So it really isn't likely to be a supply problem. It seems to me that the demand is simply not consistent enough to generate the required supply.

Or to put it another way, the market is working as markets do.

If people really want HGV drivers then they will have to offer more, and not just money but better working conditions and more secure employment.
Anecdotally, the petrol stations near me ran dry today. Whilst I’m sure this will blow over soon, I can’t help but hope this act as a catalyst for EV adoption here.
You already posted it 3 days ago.
Awesome read! Is this in use by any software already? I can imagine someone at Adobe already implementing this in photoshop. Can we apply this quickly enough to let everyone where whatever stripes they want on television?
I wonder if a viral pandemic would satisfy some fantasy of a climate activist.
There are lots of reasons smaller companies can follow up a behemoth and beat them, such as better timing / market conditions, less dysfunctional organizations, etc.
Lol. Literally nobody thinks he actually committed suicide. It’s just that nobody knows for certain who did it. You can rule out certain nations but was it Clinton, Gates Dershowitz? We’ll never know.
Has any neutral party compiled the data? It would increase our confidence in FSD.
Bad policy for all of the people who need petrol to drive; for all of the people who work at the (temporarily, thankfully) closed stations; and for anyone who works at businesses that rely on regular petrol supplies.

Basic functioning of the economy and of supply chains is an objective public good.
That's not what's at problem here. It's like how you can't swap parts of the logic board in case they fail (even if they rarely do) because of the design - I don't think many people will be mad at Apple for that. This is where two screens from brand new iPhone 13's can't be swapped without Face ID (which is no longer even attached to the screen) no longer working. Now, this might not be deliberate, especially given the setting app's screen warning doesn't say anything about Face ID being disabled, but it's not a good sign.
Yes, people have driven into walls, buildings, cars, lakes, even other people, while being completely aware.

Many accidents (including the ones that Tesla's have prevented) include completely normal drivers who made mistakes. If AI can make fewer/no mistakes, and react better to mistakes by others, than it's a better overall outcome.
… he literally wrote Columb’s expression for frictional forces. Then pointed out that that expression overstates the amount of traction that weight gives you

What rules of physics do you propose we use? Ones where dead weight makes you faster? In the ideal case weight cancels out. But it doesn't, it forces you to take corners slower.

But hey, if you don't believe the math, watch an F1 race how the lap times drop and tyre life extends as they use up their fuel.
Oh well, that's what you get when decisions are made by a combination of algorithm and sweatshop call center.

I have to admit that software for blind people sounds like a fascinating specialty. I'd love to get into it but being not-blind (came close though) probably gives one false theories on design. I love the angle of making software that requires only a microphone and a speaker, it would be an amazing way to rethink the world.
The lack of preparation for the demand in licensing and training for those workers is part of the bad policy.
The Great Debugger, how can one get in touch with this entity?
Very true. It's impossible to not break an API in some cases. The solution described should give developers an easy way to correct design decisions or deprecate parts of the API that have changing dependencies. It's more about improving the DX of breaking APIs to improve or evolve them. The case you describe cannot be solved and all affected clients will accept that. I guess if regulators ask for such a big change, there will be enough time for all involved parties to prepare for the change.
His appeals for tougher sentencing and weakening privacy have been consistent since the late 70s, and have outlived their popularity even with the kinds of people who fund him. He put a lot of work into what became the Patriot Act for over a decade before it became a reality. Very few politicians stick to something for so long and work so hard to get there. I'm inclined to believe that his actions demonstrate his revealed preference, as the Austrian Economists would say.

In fact, it would have been politically expedient last summer for him to say the 1994 crime bill was a mistake in hindsight, but he did the opposite. I think this is who he really is.

>I think it's perfectly okay for Apple to make products which are too complicated for most independent repair shops to fix

Should not be impossible for a third party to replace a component, if this would be legal for cars we would have been screwed even hard with replacement parts and fixes costs.

Imagine the world where you could only replace a Ford windshield or mirror only with a new original Ford(not even recycled one) and you have to have the fix done only in the big city at the Ford official repair shop. Though this days a there is a car company around that wants to be the Apple of cars, hopefully the laws will not get weeker but stronger.
This and the other 3 letter agency attract all sorts of monodimensional individuals.

They are more concerned with doing something that is very hard instead of asking themselves what's the rationale behind it and most importantly who is going to benefit from it.

I am sure right now somebody in there is making the case to do something about the most innocent and non threatening person in the world, just to prove that it can be done
> the “steal our jobs” rhetoric is based on the false counterfactual

I didn't say "steal", but it's absolutely happening all the time:

"Information technology workers at Southern California Edison (SCE) are being laid off and replaced by workers from India. Some employees are training their H-1B visa holding replacements, and many have already lost their jobs."

The OP isn't replacing it. If a moderator (@dang) sees it they might unflag and re-up it after they replace the URL with the correct one themselves.
Monitoring can catch issues in the code. For example if an event is dead lettered or the application crashes unexpectedly, it triggers an alert, which may make you aware of some edge case you forgot to test. Both tests and monitoring can encompass validating code is running correctly, some even run their tests against production at regular intervals as a form of monitoring, for example see “datadog synthetic tests”, which could be characterized as both a test and a monitor. Many companies opting not to do traditional e2e tests actually still have them, they’re just running them against production instead of blocking CI (with the rationale they will prioritize fast detection and mitigation rather than trying to prevent bugs from entering prod)
>The 'priesthood' mostly isn't interested in telling you what to believe and how to behave. The vast majority of the 'priesthood' would much rather just return to their lab and do exciting research.

Politicians on the other hand are more than happy to use science and the social credibility of science to coerce and manipulate though. It wasn't too long ago in terms of human generations that "the science" was that we should chemically castrate those who didn't fit traditional society's norms (like Alan Turing), or that the economic benefits of burning fossil fuels were worth the ecological catastrophe for future generations.

I think a discussion on scientific ethics needs to be had by the general public as well as better scientific education all around. It's not good enough to blindly trust "the science" when there's an ethical dimension in play which there almost always is.
Performance Testing Is Not Just a Stopwatch
Sure, in theory that could happen, but then you'd be able to explain the lopsidedness somehow. For, e.g. professions like nursing, the lopsidedness can be satisfactorily explained by gender preferences wrt roles related to human care.

The elephant in the room with regards to leadership is all the stuff related to perception of competence in patriarchal societies, boys clubs (recall that in many places, wealth is somewhat of a prerequisite for campaigning successfully), etc.
We do No Estimates because we just stopped somehow to estimate tickets some years ago and it didn’t bothered us. We have no real value of what is the time to do a ticket but we know how many of them our team can achieve during a sprint and that’s enough.

We naturally learned to slice « too big » tickets and we roughly define « too big » by « I’ll probably struggle on this ».

It’s far from perfect, not really better but absolutely not worse than when we did estimates and we are able to achieve our goals, which is what matters.

From the article we know they are not checksumming all hardware agains the original device as they were able to change some assemblies. Really what this means is the sensor assembly moved into the screen assembly [1] and the youtuber didn't investigate further.

If the sensor changes this breaks the chain of trust for FaceID [2] and you want the system to stop working because someone, for good or bad, is tampering with it.

If the premise is that you limit your dependencies have low maintenance code, you'd probably not include many (any?) of said thousands of libs.
Also it isn't about the number of libs, but how often they change.
You're right. I guess I'm thinking that mass transport systems with dedicated/fixed routes can be designed in ways that allow for much safer operation, versus an open-ended system like FSD. e.g. no risk of pedestrians on train lines.

It’s also possible that much of what was lost was frankly not worth preserving, perhaps time has acted as a great filter.
Sure but...

> people tell me examples of extremely poor people taking risks and hitting it big, and at the same time lament how people irresponsibly have children and debt they could not handle

Is having children a risk that could mean one hits it big? And it's definitely also possible (if not normal) for debt to come from lifestyle overspending rather than risking things to make it big. I just don't see the logical connection, although I can see there's an emotional one there.
Honestly, I'd consider it comparable to the banknotes in the pre-Civil War banking ecosystem.

A bazillion local banks issued scraps of paper they said were exchangeable for "one dollar on demand". (This being when a "dollar" was a large disc of silver or a tiny one of gold).

At the base consumer level, there was no expectation of profit to accept them. At best, you could go over to the bank and they would give you the silver disc you actually wanted.

People settled for it because the alternative was less convenient or accessible, especially in parts of the country where government-issued metal discs didn't circulate freely. (much like in the crypto market, where people choose stablecoins because the fiat on/off-ramps are slow, expensive, or legally burdensome)

It's interesting to consider what happened next for those notes:

First, it was definitely possible to speculate, because bank fraud and failure was a well-known thing and paper notes traded at a discount to coin. A dollar note from a far-away bank that was difficult to redeem might pass at 50 cents, while the well established one down the street would pass at or near face value. Some old newspapers would have reports indicating the going discount rates. Similarly, we've seen stablecoins break peg due to a redemption problem, backing panic, or trust breakdown.

Second, the entire party stopped when the federal government began seriously issuing paper money and instituted a tax on private notes; it made the venture uneconomical overnight. Similarly, an actual central-bank digital currency hitting the exchanges would likely displace many of the use cases of stablecoins.

Third, we had "wildcat banking" -- it looks and smells like a banknote, but the "bank" was in the middle of nowhere, where the only customers are the pumas and bobcats. By putting that sort of obstacle in the way of redemption, you could get away with issuing notes backed by very little or nothing. Reminds me a lot of the stablecoins that say 'we can't directly redeem to Americans' or 'You can only redeem under specific narrow conditions that most retail consumers will never meet', which makes it possible to manage their outflow and hide their capitalization levels.
That was the situation when UK was in the EU.
It was actually one of the main arguments against EU, even a fair point because a Polish drivers paid Polish wages were driving in the UK. This is something that other countries like Netherlands also want fixed so that people are paid where they work.

The problem is, Can UK pay the EU companies enough so that they can stop servicing their current EU customers and send their trucks and drivers to the UK for 3 months? What if they can't get their customers back when the 3 months time is over? What if they lose their customers to the competition that did not took the British offer?

If it’s on a British road, said self-driving car will see normal yellow indicators, since red is not a permissible colour. As mentioned in the article.

If you get a permission to publish on the App Store the first time, shouldn't that be permanent? Why do developers have to justify _every_ new update?
> Mini has not heard any concerns from customers regarding the rear turn indicators

That perfectly summarize the car industry. Manufacturers only care about the people in the car. It's not their problem if their car are death machines for everyone outside.
They likely keep the plans up to date, and have one for you too, if they're your friends.
I came up with this solution:

> Changing jobs on an H1-B is possible

It's possible now (it previously was not), but it resets the H1-B worker's immigration process back to the start as well, leaving them in limbo for years longer. And they are taking a risk that the new job might not work out and if they don't find another quickly, they'll be expelled from the country.
I was going to write a snarky comment about upgrading too early, but:

"Exploring images with VoiceOver: Explore people, objects, text, and tables within images in more detail with VoiceOver. Navigate receipts and nutrition label values intelligently in logical order. And move your finger over a photo to discover a person’s position relative to other objects within images."

"Voice image descriptions in Markup: Markup lets the user add image descriptions that can be read by VoiceOver. Image descriptions persist even when shared and can be read in a range of supported apps on iPhone, iPad, and Mac."

"Per-app settings: Customize display and text size settings on an app-by-app basis. Bold or enlarge text, increase contrast, invert colors, add color filters, and more for only the apps you want."

"Magnifier app: Magnifier finally becomes a default app on iOS, so you can use your iPhone as a magnifying glass to zoom in on objects near you."
Lots of schools of thoughts. I'm personal very adamant about light-weight process around story-points and sprints. I've found it's the most reliable way to manage expectations external to the team and help the team drive to clarity.

On some teams, we're trending towards "story-count" rather than points. These teams are typically executing extremely well and don't need the (small) overhead of points.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_codices

"Bishop De Landa, a Franciscan monk and conquistador during the Spanish conquest of Yucatán, wrote: "We found a large number of books in these characters and, as they contained nothing in which were not to be seen as superstition and lies of the devil, we burned them all, which they (the Maya) regretted to an amazing degree, and which caused them much affliction." Only three extant codices are widely considered unquestionably authentic."
That's amazing.

> it's probably more of a remnant from childhood when there was always someone to save us in the end

I have this very same feeling now and then. I wonder if you and I are the only ones. Or, is this particular way (how we are feeling it) the only manner in which this......whatever it is manifests in reality? Or might this be some component, one among perhaps thousands of others (or even more, or maybe much less) that keeps humanity at this local maxima trajectory that seems (so they say) headed for some sort of major calamity, on more than one front.
If you mean DFT, then yes. It's basis for image/video compression, for example. ;)
I would think the optimal technique lies somewhere between the two: a convolution kernel optimized to conflate halftone dots with each other as to restore exactly the information possible. (Of course, such a kernel would have to be individually tuned for the orientation/spacing of the dots.)

Literally painting over frequency peaks in the FFT with black circles I imagine would be pretty lossy, and not entirely rid yourself of the pattern (since you're making a new pattern with your dots). Indeed, in the animation, the image does get darker as circles are added, and some of the pattern is still visible.

Perhaps using a blur tool to blur out the peaks in the FFT would serve to maintain original image tone, and further reduce patterning?
Nobody is saying the most important thing about a politician is their sex. It's not suggested by any of the commentary here either, except the trolls like yourself.
