Netflix is pretty much the only FAANG that does that. Every other large tech company has generous stock grants, and as you pass a couple years of experience your stock will generally be larger than your cash compensation.
Clarification: I’m not wondering how they managed to keep the human ethics in check, that’s pretty obvious: paying the price for corruption and wrapping it up in legal threats of economically violent retribution.

I’m referring to the technological aspect. The amount of air-gapping, leak prevention, no-more-than-need-to-know protocol, opsec is impressive if they managed so far so long.
Counterpoint: that you can write about a 47-year-old working mother with no access to child care and at no point consider the angle that America is a hellish dystopia for many people is evidence that perhaps we're not sensitive enough.
> But it also is kindof anecdotal and a little random to write off the entire desktop experience of Linux on a piece of unsupported hardware 10 years ago.

This is a fair point but I think anyone who has used Linux for any length of time knows it isn't just one issue. It's a whole crowd of them. Windows and Mac have issues too, but far fewer.

I assume that he has experienced more issues than that and that was just the worst one.
Well, don’t forget the cost to concentrate CO2 from 440 ppm in the atmosphere to 10^6 ppm. The current cost of direct air capture that I’ve seen is about $600-$1000/ton (via Climeworks).

Capturing CO2 from flue gas at power plants should be a good bit cheaper, but I think it’s still significant.
In fact, which language except C and derivatives has macros that are inky simple token replacement?
To those who think it sounds impossible, remember that methane is CH4 and a good amount of the energy released is attributable to those hydrogens getting together with oxygen. So you are basically subtracting the yield from carbon.

Wouldn’t it be a lot better though to somehow turn CH4 into hydrogen and carbon, bury the carbon or use it for uses that don’t end up in the atmosphere, and burn the hydrogen alone or use it in fuel cells? Fuel cells might get you to pretty good energy yields.
Don't worry, USA will continue investing orders of magnitude more money into R&D for killing people so progress won't stop.

Point 5 is not true. APLers regularly communicate verbally and on paper in APL or pseudo-APL. See [0], paragraph after the bullet points. I've participated in many conversations that were as much spoken APL as English, as well as heard off-hand references to writing paper notes in APL-like notation.

I remember, I once stumbled on an ex-Googler who went to Syria to open an IT business there before the civil war, in Moscow airport, who fled when the civil war started, and he had to flee with just his credit card, and ID documents.

He was stuck there, living in the no man's land between gates and the immigration. And he also was pleading every English speaker he met there to contact his congress rep.

I never found out how the story ended.

Call it greed if you want, but this is just the emergent result of the economic system we have in our society. Corporations are optimization algorithms to maximize revenue. Not because they have to, but because its comprised of rational individuals who are incentivized to maximize their own revenue. The natural result is an ever-growing entity, adaptive to dangers and emergently intelligent. It's possible to run a corporation differently but it actively takes energy to resist the natural gravity of every individual's interests.
Folks, just to clarify: "catalyst" is a very broad chemistry term for "something that helps a chemical reaction take place without being a reagent nor product of said reaction." So don't get the wrong idea: catalysts have quite specific uses, and you cannot substitute any one catalyst for any other.
What about the rest; the presentations the executive summaries… all the paperwork that suits babble around… it takes some serious “terrorist organization” opsec to perform like this
Why is that?

It's a feature I was missing in react nearly from the strart and I was trying many times to mimic it with varying degree of success but all attempts were finicky.
The process described in the paper uses both gallium and silver as catalysts.

The advantage of using gallium is that it is in liquid form.
When the gallium is regenerated after catalyzing one cycle of the reaction, it mixes again with the liquid gallium.

Being liquid ensures a long life for the catalyst. Solid catalysts are never recovered perfectly after taking part in the reaction and then being again deposited on their support, so they degrade much faster.

The mechanism of solid catalyst degradation is similar to that which limits the life of a rechargeable battery with solid electrodes.

A big issue with renewable energy, particularly solar and wind, is that the power output is variable and an electric grid needs a base load to operate.

Now I firmly believe the future here is ultimately space-based solar power collectors. I've seen estimates that a panel in space around Earth can generate ~7 times the power it can on Earth. This is a deep topic but generating power in space for use on Earth isn't as crazy as it may sound.

Anyway, another potential application is to use variable power output for useful purposes on-site. For example, you can extract CO2 directly from the atmosphere and with simply chemistry you can make gasoline from that. This is currently cost-prohibitive so no one does it.

At some point this may become economic, in which case the variable power output won't be an issue. You're now only interested in the total output. You also don't lose power from transmission or require the capital cost of transmission lines.

Perhaps CO2 capture is another potential such application. Either the CO2 could be processed on site with a process like this and the byproducts (pure carbon and oxygen) can be sold.
If you're at a very large scale, maybe the reduced server cost by parsing JSON this way can "finance" an engineer? If you're starting to reach the limits of JSON, maybe it could also help you avoid a transition for a while longer? At least those are the obvious cases for me.

If it's a drop-in replacement for other JSON parsers, I think this could have a huge impact. There is a lot of value to gain by optimizing the fundamentals
Google doesn't matches levels based on title when hiring.

The main cases of "title inflation" of this kind are related to M&A rather than hiring. That's obviously much rarer.

In hiring, the only thing the title/size of org buys you is an initial guess at level.

Using hooks to integrate 3rd party libraries is so much cleaner than using HOCs.

The magic (and the learning curve, which I think is where much of the pushback on hooks comes from) is worth it.
That is a ludicrous argument. The whole income/wealth inequality is not about working people earning more, it is about capital owners earning vastly more due to various reasons.

Some businesses do earn more due to ease of access to additional capital, and hence can pay employees more, but the root of the income/wealth divide is certainly not employers paying employees more. It is certain employers (capital owners) getting disproportionately more in the first place.

Tech employees are simply in sufficiently high demand relative to supply that they can demand a piece of the pie. But there is no point in trying to address a problem by addressing its symptoms rather than causes.

Specifically, in this case, paying Alphabet employees less in the name of helping the income/wealth divide only helps other owners of Alphabet stock be even richer.

Sorry you’re not a fan. This post probably isn’t targeted towards you.
I'm not sure which came first, but American hypersensitivity to "harm" seems to have come right alongside the "victim-er than thou" culture.

I think people are living in a constant state of fear, which causes them to seek out the sympathy and support of as many people as possible.

But why are people so much more afraid now, when by every objective measure, things are safer than they've ever been?

I think it comes down to news media. When was the last time you read a news report about something negative you personally could affect and change for the better? I can't remember the last time I did. And yet we're immersed in these news stories ALL the time.

Two generations ago, if something made it into your awareness at all, it was probably local enough that you could help. You and a few people you knew could mitigate the bad thing.

But now? Now there's no sense of agency. There's just this constant hum of information about terrible things you're personally powerless against.

Of course people are afraid. If any one of those apparently constant threats ever comes anywhere near them, they have no experience that might convince them they could overcome it. From that perspective, their only hope is that they'll have the sympathies of as many people as possible so maybe SOMEONE who CAN help will rescue them.

That's why people stack lists of their victim credentials and highlight other people's privileges. They're afraid of things that probably won't ever even actually happen to them, and want to be sure they have everyone's sympathy just in case.

But since things are generally actually quite safe, the list of distinguishing victimizations creeps into smaller and smaller harms in a race to be the most aggrieved, sympathy-deserving victim of them all.
Yes. Thanks for that clarification. What I meant in my original question is if we consume huge amounts of gallium to do this. Ie. can it scale?
Personally, I don’t care that FB puts profits over people. That’s what I expect. They are a public corporation. FB’s board has a legal obligation (fiduciary responsibility) to make money for shareholders. Capitalism may suck, but it’s the law.

Speaking of the law, Google’s abuses listed in this thread are what gall me. In Gulliver’s travels, the Lilliputians don’t strongly punish a common thief. You can just build a higher fence to thwart them. They severely punish “white collar” crimes. Outsmarting those criminals may prove impossible. We now have some of the greatest minds of our generation figuring out how to enrich Google even if it means breaking anti-trust/anti-collusion laws and even just basic breach of contract.

I get that Google is a huge company and not all bad, but its primary revenue model is so morally bankrupt, I question how anyone can justify working there.
I agree #5 may not apply to some people. If a small community of people is able to use APL to do things that can't be done by other means, that would be an effective refutation of this argument, or at least an important caveat to the scope of its claims. Maybe APL is truly an effective tool of thought for at least this small group of people.

I would be interested in your response to this post [1], which is on that point.

I noted the Ackermann function and inverted index results in Hui's response to Dijkstra. I can't understand the APL so can't be sure how novel or significant these results are, but I would predict that such properties of the Ackermann function and inverted tables/indices would have been known long before these derivations. These may just be examples of pre-existing knowledge being encoded into APL logography.

It makes for flawless blogspam. There are enough people leaving Google that some of them will publish criticisms that align with the community's preconceived notions and will let them all feel superior to Googlers. Further, because Google is so big there will almost necessarily be pockets that really are truly bad to work in. Readers can therefore extrapolate and assume the entire company functions this way.
it optimizes for not thinking about loading states, and the way it's normally used (hook fetches data, suspends) results in you having to go out of your way to add a loading state near the component that suspended, as you have to create an intermediate component and a loading component, splitting what should be a single concern into several, and it results in a lot of duplication that previously could be addressed by just having an `isLoading` prop

not thinking about loading states hurts ux and perceived performance

edit to clarify: i like hooks (though people abuse them) and believe react has generally always been best-in-class at thoughtful interface design. suspense breaks with that imo
That’s completely false. The EU budgets itself is extremely favorable to less developed member states even when these states should be excluded from the union like Hungary. The current tax issues favor countries which are already rich like Luxembourg and the Netherlands at the expense of countries which are actually producing values in Europe. It has nothing to do with the eastern countries.

I don't understand that point. Is there an overhead in starting the parsing, which makes regular parsing faster unless you have a large JSON file? If not, why wouldn't you want faster JSON parsing?

It isn't. Bay Area and NYC Metro are both in the highest paying bracket.
What I took away from the article is actually how similar the methods are.

It's just different styles of writing code that does the same thing.

If you use React often, you can build anything, really fast, using either paradigm.

Yes, hooks are nice. Classes are still nice.
I think you're being too fair and intentionally sugar coating their recent history. Intel spent about a decade extorting money from a captive market after nearly killing AMD due to all sorts of illegal practices.

It's hilarious how releasing the same product for a decade translates to "struggling to improve" all while making more and more money each quarter.

I'll leave this here for you and the people who are downvoting me just in case you're not simply fanbois.

The fact that Firefox supported ftp:// links was a quirk of its evolution. _A_ browser needs not to support ftp, news, gopher, tel or any other scheme. It may, but it doesn't have to. So Firefox not supporting ftp:// anymore was a moronic design decision on their end, granted, but it is, technically and objectively, not really a _bug_.
Any financing options?
While I do think the list is a bit over-the-top (reading the kernel section was like reading the end times) but taken with a bit of salt and looking over the fact that a lot of the sources are 10-20+ years old, it's an okay list.

Enterprise level section seems very odd:

I'm struggling to think of an enterprise oriented disto that doesn't allow you to preinstall, even then I would imagine these days orchestration solves this issue.

Fedora-family at least used to have software policy, no idea if it still does.

They are correct about Linux toybox is still mostly geared towards server and thus desktop still lags far behind in desktop-specific fields (games, video/photo editing) when it comes to features.

Kernel wise it's strange that there hasn't been any attempt made to make the kernel more modular or some structural change to experiment with the future.

Although I don't think every driver should be relegated to become a module, it would be best to have a clear seperation between kernel-only API for a driver + user-only API for a driver.

In other words the performant/critical part of a GPU driver should remain in the kernel but everything else should be handled in userland, that way hopefully things break gracefully.

I will add 2 things:

There is still no easy to change setting when it comes to mouse scroll wheel speed (in fact it's sometimes not even supported) and the default is just painful (1px + acceleration).

The other criticism I got is that there's far too much non-sensical fragmentation in the Linux world, fragmentation can be a positive but it can also be a severe negative.
The 1950s, a time of reduced sensitivity. The kind of reduced sensitivity where the military had to be called out to invade states, and put down actual riots, sparked by black children trying to go to school with the children of white parents who were definitely not triggered and not mad.

It's the wild growth of certain sorts of sensitivities that certain sorts of people are finding a problem. Nobody remembers the "good old days" as a time of hedonism, where everybody did their own thing, where beliefs and behaviors weren't policed, and couldn't result in you being ostracized socially. In the good old days, you could not only get canceled, you could get lynched.
That’s only true if you are currently under threat of not being at the head of the pack. Google still very clearly leading search, which is their main income provider.
This is mostly not true. If you know a hiring manager on the JAX team and they have headcount and they want to hire you if you pass the interviews, they can walk you through the process and hire you.

We’re not at all disagreeing. Calling vs inlining trades higher peak stack usage for (ideally) lower average stack usage.

Long running function calling short lived but high memory use function is a bad candidate for inlining because of that.
I really like their cloud office suite for personal use, however I would not rely on them for an enterprise solution.

It depends a lot on which will be the lifetime of the catalyst at industrial scales.

Gallium is one of the most expensive metals, not because it is very rare, but because it is very diluted. There are no minerals with a high concentration of gallium, enough to make their commercial exploitation worthwhile.

There are no mines of gallium. Gallium is always extracted as a secondary product in mining operations where either aluminum or zinc is the main product.

Because of that, the available quantity of gallium depends on the volume of the productions of aluminum and of zinc, and it follows their yearly oscillations.

Grid stress in the first world isn't a big problem since electric vehicles can charge when the grid is under less pressure. The demand curve over a day has a reasonably predictable shape and EV charging can often be done when wholesale prices are low. Of course we will need to increase capacity, but that can be done over time.

Fossil power to generate electricity that then powers your car is less carbon intensive than just using an internal combustion engine. The overhead of getting oil out of the ground, refining it and transporting it is big. You then lose lots of energy as heat as you run your engine.
The magic is usually what gets to me. Stuff like useState depending on the order it was called under the hood, meaning you have to use it a specific way.

On the one hand, it really does clean some things up well, like for higher order components, but also I find the magic just leaks more than I’d like, and as a result I feel like the only way use the magic safely is to study all of the pitfalls.

It’s like using C++ smart pointers but a bit less foot-shooty.
> Equivalently, does it mean that if we expose ourselves to macro-harms, we will be immunized against harms lower down the scale?

For the most part, yes, it's called building resilience[1]. The hard part is that people view adversity relative to their own experiences, and don't want to be told that they need to "suck it up" when their ride is a few minutes late, or the waiter got their meal wrong. A coddled person will truly believe that their minor inconveniences are very difficult events, and there isn't a way to force them to build resilience, so they might end up being coddled even more just so they'll be quite.
