Which a competent regulator would surely be doing randomly across the industry no?

If all they are doing is trusting what the regulated folks are saying they are doing, that isn’t what I would call effective regulation.
Fortune 100 companies don't necessarily pay well for software engineers. The bigger a company is, the more that resources concentrate to the top of the company. Besides, a non-tech company will consider their tech departments cost center, which means the pay will not be good. Tech companies pay much better, both in cash and in equity. Note a company does not have to be technical in your eyes, but needs to be technical in its management's perspective.
This is a thread about Serde, not how superior Rust and how shitty Go is. We've had more than enough from this ...
Slicing and dicing cheesy data gets a whole new meaning.

What the heck, principle engineer is considered higher than architect? What about principle architect? I might need a flowchart somewhere that describes all the tech levels above "senior software engineer".
The leet code thing is overstated. I’ve rarely seen “hard” questions asked and when they are asked, often the maximally efficient solution is not required to do well in the interview.
At the risk of feeding the trolls, no DSLR software comes close to the image manipulation of a modern phone. We know this with tools like MagicLantern that would have enabled this type of stuff.

To even equate these as being the same is being disengenious at best.
Reminds me of Ed Balls Day:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Balls#Ed_Balls_Day

In 2011 [celebrity UK politician] Balls accidentally entered his intended search term in the wrong box and sent a tweet reading only "Ed Balls". The tweet was retweeted by thousands and has never been deleted.
I wonder this myself. I'm not sure the technology is ready for street bike speeds, but some of the speeds you do on a dirtbike with tight turns and technical terrains.. maybe.

An "equivalent psi" of 13, which is basically what I run my dirtbike at anyway in the New Hampshire forest trails. Although this is slightly different since it replaces the tube not the whole tire.
Fraudsters, for better or worse, will also be in that technical category of people who would use rooted phones too. It's easier to just click the configuration option and materially reduce fraud cost for little work than to do the banking equivalent of porting your game to linux.

Similarly with NFC wallet sniping. In practice it doesn't happen, and because it's a merchant credit card transaction, significantly easier to roll back in time once customers start filing charge backs for them, which is a major reason probably why it doesn't happen much in the first place. Physical wallet snipping is also too much work compared to other schemes available.
If you're offering fabulous compensation packages that exceed the President of the United States for common software engineers with a little experience... wouldn't you want to use that to your advantage in your job postings?

Every time I read an article like this I go looking for official numbers to validate what is being said. I'm not saying companies compensate poorly in SV. I just find it difficult to differentiate fact from fiction (or gossip) when I go looking into it. Its really not that hard to post your price/ranges directly as a company. I've always posted compensation and benefits when I've posted listings. My wife has always posted compensation and benefits when she's posted them. I'm not sure which of us has interviewed or hired more. I've probably interviewed more as a software engineer and she's probably hired more as a clinical director. (nurses, so many nurses... and then doctors!)

I'd apply for a lot of positions if people would list compensation ranges in their postings. I just need to know we're somewhere on the same page before focusing my energy on it. Nothing is worse than going through interviews only find out we've wasted each other's time. I've been there, done that, far too many times. It usually results in an offer at the top end of what they're approved for and that is either not enough to leave, or its less than I'm making at a position I'm happy with.
Clipboard is consistently broken on Wayland. I don't use any XWayland application, it's all native Wayland. Sometimes when I copy things they don't paste, and I need to switch back to the original window for the copy to register. Or even copy again to be sure. This was never, ever a problem in more than 10 years using X11.

But, fractional scaling is working like a charm on Gnome + Wayland (after a gsettings command). Very crisp, despite people saying it doesn't work. On X11, even on KDE, I can't get fractional scaling this crisp. This is the only reason I'm using Wayland; all the rest sucks.

But, the problem is, GTK doesn't support fractional caling natively. Even GTK 4 supports only integer scaling. So for fractional scaling the compositor has to scale up, then down. This approach generally causes blurring (though I don't know why Gnome on Wayland here isn't blurred).

When I see screenshots of people with fractional scaling on Gnome, it appears very blurry. Comparing side by side, here it isn't. I don't know why and at this point I'm afraid of messing it with and ruining everything.

This isn't a better use for data collection, we're just getting paid for the loss of privacy instead of giving it away for free.
You think people haven’t been trying to solve this problem? It’s hard and expensive. In the states where this is the biggest problem, they have some of the lowest spending on social services in the nation (and they are the same states very eager to push voter id laws). Go ask the state legislators there to increase social services spending in their annual budget to help fix this issue, and see how quickly you are laughed out of their offices.
> The return on investment aspect could just get gamed by companies being excessively selective on which candidates they allow to stay past 2 months.

Exactly, so it's not like these candidates are paying to "skip annoying thing" - it's just a different annoying thing. In essence, this sort of arrangement actually puts the candidate in a less powerful position than if they'd just received a normal offer.

I don't even think this is geared towards 'rich people' - I assume it's mostly aimed at colleagues who are also tech workers. It does favor people who have previous work experience (and therefore colleagues who could vouch/invest), but verifiable experience is usually a job requirement anyway.
On the other hand, Scala's uPickle works almost identically as how Serde does, originally for performance, but the final visitor-based architecture ended up being almost identical.

KotlinX serialization works basically the same way too; it definitely seems like a case of convergent evolution
Yeah, it sounds so bad that it’s probably made up. It implies that the company has 46% turnover or firing rate (29+17), but average turnover for tech companies is 10%-15% [0].

I live in Tokyo and prefer to go out and eat, despite delivery being easy. Food tastes better when it’s fresh, not served in a plastic container, in a nice environment, and it’s not even hard to do - hundreds of options within a 10 minute walk of my apartment.
I'd hope that you could come up with something smarter based on some dynamic system that takes the data from people having accidents and scores you based on how close your driving behaviour is to the accident prone.

Rice and beans, or corn and beans, are classic recipes for protein combination in poorer demographics. I make those all the time in an instant pot and they are very convenient and satisfying. I stir in stuff like pasta sauce or Indian vegetable packets to add flavor.
My two cents being a vegetarian 6/7 days a week is that day-to-day figuring out where / what you can eat, how to meet nutritional needs, what to cook, etc. gives me more stress than any philosophical concerns.
It wouldn't require several times more manpower for the FAA to figure out there's something called MCAS that didn't exist before, would it? (Note that I'm talking in the current world we live in, not in a hypothetical world where Boeing would be a mortal enemy of the FAA doing everything within the stretch of human imagination to hide MCAS.)
The Universe has always existed. It does not have a beginning, and it won't have an end. I'm not talking about the 13.4B old Universe we live in. I'm talking about the Universe that came before it. The Universe is cyclical.

You can use copyq with very large limit. Not sure how it will behave with "infinite" data.

As far as I've seen, Crystal's only merit seems to be is that it's more or less Ruby but statically typed and compiled. In the interest of shedding my ignorance maybe someone can tell me why it's worth trying? From my observation it's features don't seem that differentiated from other modern languages like Rust or Zig.

> They [scientists] estimate this [process] equates to a cost of around $100 per ton of carbon dioxide.

Way above the ~$18 price tag California puts on a ton of carbon. But this method has the benefit that it returns oxygen to the atmosphere instead of locking it away, bonded to carbon, for eons.

Perhaps added incentives can be made to methods that not only sequester carbon, but also return oxygen back to the the atmosphere.

The EA crew followed that memory item. It didn't work. (Had they reduced the throttle it probably would have helped, which is why the need to limit speed during runaway trim events has been added to the updated memory item now)
Yes, they should provide guidance on BTC and probably should provide a bunch of test cases with clearer parameters. They're acting like Justices where they need to see the case, instead of providing exemplary framework for classification. Yes, I think in that case it's fair for them to be more proactive in delineating between groups.
I've never gone through a FAANG interview but I have gone through some fortune 100s and never once been asked an algorithm questions. But I have no reason not to believe you about FAANG.

Saying questions asked at that level are not about algorithms was based on my non-FAANG experience. I shouldn't have been so absolute.

But with that said, to back up and restate where I was trying to get. What I was trying to say is that algorithms are table stakes, you should absolutely know them at a senior level but the actually questions you should be being asked should be more advanced than that.
Macros are definitely key. I wonder if ownership helps too? Circular references are always weird when serializing
>My comment was not that I don't need to know algorithms it was that at a senior level the questions should be far more advanced than what leet code has.

Seniors (>=L5) go through a "pirate" round that's system design/arch in addition to the "ninja" round. But you're a CTO so you should be able to ace that (after handily passing ninja since you know all the algorithms). So what exactly are you waiting for? I mean like do you want a referral? I'd be glad to make a quick 5k for referring you since you're so confident that you're good enough.
But remember, there is no monopoly.

No one is going to give immunity or spare someone from prosecution if that have that person nailed hardcore, and the only evidence they have against the ‘mastermind’ is he said/she said that isn’t going to go anywhere in court.
The problem is, when shit hits the fan, tons of marauders will become a problem. Unless such communities heavily arm themselves, with a bunch of community militia or security forces, they will become a perfect target for such marauders.
I have only read the article and not the text of the legal complaint, but according to the article, he is specifically not basing his complaint on them being a victim of espionage and is making more specific allegations:

> "While Twitter may wish to play the victim of state-sponsored espionage, Twitter's conduct in punishing the victims of this intrigue, including Mr. Al-Ahmed, tells a far different story: one of ratification, complicity, and/or adoption tailored to appease a neigh beneficial owner and preserve access to a key market, the KSA," Randy Kleinman, the attorney for Al-Ahmed, wrote in the complaint.

I have no idea if their allegations are correct, but the argument you're dismissing is explicitly not what they're saying.
I used a similar service through Progressive nearly 2 decades ago. They sent you a dongle to plug into your OBD2 port and then measured how fast you accelerate / stop etc. It wasn't such a huge discount as to justify the surveillance I guess, but it was something.

You're being downvoted (not by me) but you have a point. I did two things wrong that I know of:

- I graduated college right before the great recession and that effected my career starting rates

- I stayed at a company I knew was under paying me for far too long (because I had a lot of stock options and I valued them too highly)

If either of those two things were different I'd probably be making a lot more. But my point was, regardless, I am making the mean salary for my region and that mean is not what is represented in this article.
Direct Air Capture (DAC) will never be impactful for the simple reason that you need to process way too much air to remove an appreciable amount of Carbon. Capture at the source of plants producing CO2 will be helpful, but DAC is a pipe dream.
Walmart does make money from games if they sell games, yes. That doesn't make them "a game company," but that isn't actually the question.

I think people -- on both sides of this little mini-debate -- may be trying to carve out too fine a distinction. Insisting that it's only correct to say that a company makes money from games if the company is developing or publishing games suggests that GameStop doesn't make money from games -- a rather hard position to defend.

If Twitter could assess a huge penalty on the plaintiff for filing a frivolous lawsuit, maybe.

Otherwise, no. We already know that Twitter specifically tried to deal with one of these spies when he came to their attention, shortly before he escaped. There is no reason to believe that Twitter did anything wrong, and excellent reason to believe they didn't.

Lawsuits aren't cost-free; the off-chance that, against all expectations, you might find something that almost definitely isn't there is not a good reason to entertain one.

Not to be rude but did you read the entirety of my post? This doesn't happen that much, the people putting in those hours are generally making 250k or less at mid level or above. Those making 300-400k generally either don't have to work many hours or are capable of passing interviews that will allow them to work significantly less.

> 180k take home on 300k income

Without going into too much detail, often by the time your stock is paid out to you it's worth much more than what you signed at so that you had an effective pay raise of sometimes 50% or more. You're also leaving out bonuses, which at some companies can be substantial.

Suffice to say, plenty of people retire in a decade.
At many of the large tech companies, most technical employees will reach a title along the lines of "Senior Software Engineer" or "Senior Member of Technical Staff" and struggle to get promoted past that. At those companies, that title is considered an acceptable "terminal" career level, meaning they wouldn't be considered as stalled or be pushed out. They'll still be plenty productive and generally considered as senior developers. However, to get promoted from there requires a slightly expanded set of skills and experience. That next level is often "Staff Software Engineer".

The highest technical titles that exist at most of those companies are "Principal Software Engineer" and "Distinguished Engineer". Typically, much less than 5% of technical staff reach that level (I'd estimate 2%, but unsure). However, ~75% (random, plausible number - not actually sure) are "Senior Software Engineer" or below.
I have a similar experience to you but with one difference. I do know a handful of people who have an Android phone which isn't a Samsung Galaxy or Pixel. When I ask why they chose that device, the response makes it clear that they have absolutely zero interest in mobile phones aside from what we'd consider the absolute basics.

And everyone I know who has a Pixel is the sort of person who is passionately anti-Apple. I'm not saying this is a universal experience, but it's certainly true for the three people I know who have a Google Pixel. I'm serious when I say I've never met a more passionate Apple fanboy than those people are passionately anti-Apple.
Do you mean USB 3? USB-C is the port, not the protocol.
that's great, republicans should hop on issuing a national identity card that can be used to vote in elections, instead of using state-level restrictions as a way to suppress voting.

Democrats would be onboard with a free federally administered voting ID. Republicans wouldn't, though, because it's not about fraud, it's about making it more difficult to vote, because they lose when more people vote, and they literally said as much to the supreme court as a justification for their voter restrictions laws.

(they see it as "political party is not a protected class, so there is no legal prohibition from creating voter laws which are designed to disadvantage their political opponents")

Let me begin with saying I'm happy the design pattern fetishism of the 90's is long dead. But that I think the pendulum has swung the other direction a bit too far to say the promise of OOP and design patterns is somehow a failed avenue only practiced by inexperienced engineers.

It's hard for me to understand this perspective when a large portion of the foundation of modern software is built on OOP and design patterns.

If you crack open the Chromium source code, you're going to see Factory mentioned hundreds of times:
https://github.com/chromium/chromium/search?q=factory

As well as singleton:
https://github.com/chromium/chromium/search?q=singleton

Visitor:
https://github.com/chromium/chromium/search?q=visitor

And the list goes on, and on.

This is true for V8, which underlies NodeJS, and is the engine that powers most modern JavaScript:

https://github.com/v8/v8/search?q=factory

V8 was designed by the same engineers who built the Java Virtual Machine, and what techniques did they employ to build this massive piece of software that runs the modern web? Object oriented design, and design patterns.

It's very probable people designing modern web applications for the FAANGs are not particularly aware of design patterns, or even maybe that MVC is a design pattern even if they are using it. It's possible many design patterns aren't useful for the types of problems they are solving, or could complicate matters if they used them haphazardly.

But the engine driving every single JavaScript program, is built on top of a behemoth of object oriented, design pattern laden, software, written by FAANG engineers that I promise you understand design patterns extremely well.

I'm not saying this is the end all, be all, of software design. Or that "modern" functional takes on software design (most functional languages and ideas predate OOP) aren't perfectly valid, or successful. Or even that they couldn't solve many of these problems.

I'm just contesting any dogmatic rejection of what has actually been one of the most successful branches of software design.

Your point is so funny, Mao’s army was very small to start with and you are saying through force and coercion they grew exponentially and turned the civil war 180? So it must be Soviet Union who’s helping them or communism is just magical?

The truth was the National Party was even worse and much more corrupted. The poor in China near the end of WWII was simply hopeless and the elite class also distrusted the government.

Did your history book explain why or just simply put it’s magic?
Yes, the argument that being a victim of espionage constitutes negligence is a stretch. However, that’s not what Mr. Al-Ahmed’s suit alleges - it alleges they were victims of espionage because of their negligence.

I have a suggestion. In the future, keep the analogies to yourself and talk about facts.
