This is pretty much where I'm at 10 years in.

IMO, this is where the "10x" software developer is more practical than myth. The "architect" discussion you're having likely have significant downstream impacts on the team. You don't need to know all of the details (e.g. the actual code) because you know someone else can figure that out.

You understand how the parts fit together, what will be painful about them, and what the team needs to watch out for. You can help the team make decisions in a way that reduce their overhead and get them towards success more quickly.
>Wouldn't you consider those laws a mistake?

>I don't understand this reasoning...now we are going to continue to write a set of laws that only apply to black people

Yes, it was a mistake, with grave intergenerational consequences. The idea behind new targeted laws is to make some effort to acknowledge and remedy the damage done.

I think you may not fully appreciate the massive, compounded, multi-trillion dollar impacts of this legacy, in conjunction with the profound trauma of psychic and physical violence inflicted over generations.

Because it's hard to imagine someone fully internalizing that, then effectively declaring, "can't we just say 'our bad', call it even, and move on?"
Appreciate it. Will make adjustments to it.
Many want to be seen as a writer, filmmaker or programmer or they want the rewards. If you don’t love it, don’t do it. Writers write because they’re compelled to do so. Shonda Rhimes says exactly this. She is compelled. Same with the other disciplines. PG? I’ll bet you don’t write until you can’t hold it any longer.

All this talk of establishing a writers routine or finding motivation is trying to persuade non writers to write. Tough to hear, I know. Yes indeed downvote me because I’m denying your dreams of wearing black rimmed Tom Ford glasses. But know it’s true because right now, you’re not writing.
But people already naturally exhibit subtle bugs in the course of ordinary programming. Your acquaintance will just be another drop in the ocean.
Reminds me of another paradox. Often the people who struggle the most with Haskell, are those with extensive background in programming in non-functional languages. Those without prior experience may grasp the concepts faster and better, while also being less confused. This is incidentally why someone would recommend learning Haskell first, because after that you really can learn anything, but maybe won't have to.

I personally tend to err on the right tool for the job, or just avoiding programming when not strictly necessary.
> Typically in the scale of millions per year. Which is nothing to walmart guy.

Building a modern subway network with a couple dozen stations will cost a few billion easily. And that is just one small thing on a long list. I think you underestimate what infrastructure for a city of millions would cost. Maybe you think cars are ok, but they really are not, if you want a great city.

> I dont understand what you mean here. I suspect you're referencing Detroit as a key point.

No, What I mean is that most US cities, especially those with large suburbs, cannot cover their existing maintenance costs unless they grow, this will stop working in the near future, see: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2020/5/14/americas-growt...

> this is north america in a nutshell. Virtually everywhere you go there is examples of success...

I would argue that most US cities rank low in quality of life comparisons when compared to cities in other developed parts of the world. When planning utopia, I would start looking in other places.

It seems like you're assuming a lot of what those managers want or don't want. Or is there some data behind this?
Apple is still one of the large personal computer manufacturers.
> When your title is "Chief Design Officer", the design buck stops with you.

Agreed with this. When you're coming to the CDO position after 20 years of being a hands-on designer at that company, most recently as the head of both human interface and industrial design across the entire organization, and having been described as being the person with the most operational power at Apple, after Steve Jobs himself, even before being promoted, my guess is that these design changes did not sneak under his radar. It is most likely that he set the goals that produced these designs, and that he was aware of and approved of them from the beginning. And I suspect that as a new C-level, he was probably even more hands on than that.

But since in this thread we are being asked to hold ourselves to a very high standard of rigor, I should note that I have not submitted this comment to peer review, or made my data available for replication at this time. I'm just basing this on, you know, how jobs work.
The point is that if you transplanted Amish society out of the protective USA and into somewhere more violent like Central Africa, they'd probably all end up dead, or the survivors would be the ones that abandoned pacifism.
Not just politicians. People don't care whether policies work, they care whether they think the policies are "fair" or "the right thing to do" or "compassionate", etc. They will slide into hell as long as they thought they were doing the right thing, and evidence that their policies aren't working just means that they must double down and do even more.

FaceID on Mac makes no sense. First, the sensor is too thick.

But the main one - iPhone wakes when the accelerometer detects movement. So to wake the mac you either need to press a key or touch the trackpad. At that point, why not just use the touchid button?

Just throwing it out there; i know it's scientifically accepted that genetic mutations are simply random and the ones that just so happen to be helpful are propagated by natural selection, but i sometimes wonder that 'random' is a word akin to 'magic' that describes a process we do not quite understand. Specifically in the context of evolution, i wonder if genetic mutations aren't as random as we believe it to be, but that life is more 'intelligent' than we give it credit for, and mutations are, if not always at least sometimes, an intentional response to changes in their environment. I'd be very interested to see more research in the way that genetic mutations may be influenced by external stimuli.

Not an idea i deeply hold as a truth, but fun to think about, and science doesn't expand by believing we've got it all figured out.

Thank you for the reply!

One of my other thoughts, is that things like a direct-air carbon capture facility require a big upfront investment. What do you think about a "fundraiser" to make one possible. I.E., it would be gratifying to donate money, knowing it would be going directly to the construction of a new long-term carbon capture facility. I would then be confident that my donation would be going towards new sources of carbon removal.

(Ha -- Kickstarter for carbon capture???)
> The traditional socialist call to “seize the means of production” has thus been updated to something closer to “subsidize my cost of living” — a less revolutionary ambition, perhaps, but one that is no less myopic.

If the core messaging indicates a complete change in policy/action directives, maybe the faux-cyrillic and "socialist" moniker don't fit.

It's just a funny motif when compared to a quote found in their financial report:

You are confusing a validator with a miner. While most miners are validators, not all validators are miners, in fact the overwhelmingly vast majority of validators are not miners.

Being a Bitcoin validator requires nothing particularly powerful in terms of hardware. A cell phone won't cut it, but a 10 year old laptop is enough to be a validator.

You have a point that for some applications, mainly the "some textboxes and buttons" variety used in things like data entry are better served by a webapp. As for other things every time I scroll up in a html5 chat application and the fans of my laptop go WHIRR I'm reminded that for anything non trivial you are still better off getting your hands dirty and start using a good GUI framework from the language of your choice.

For a while I thought that WASM will bridge this gap and bring a future of near native performance to webapps then results like the ironically named sixtyfps[0] toolkit having trouble pushing 20fps on my 2 year old flagship phone made me skeptical whether it will ever happen.

I think your issues are orthogonal. The issue is certainly not specific to computer science. Heck, there's even a small monolouge about it from William Shatner in Star Trek Generations[0]. The more responsibility you have, the more there is to do, the more you have to delegate because you can't do it yourself.

That being said, I don't think it's wrong to step back and look at the bigger picture. Just because it's not for you doesn't mean there aren't people who love it, or even prefer it! After all, coding is just a tool. A very finely set tool, but just a tool and nothing more.

Then again, you can have situations like Linux, where Linus still looks at every bit that comes into the kernel, so who knows.

> there are things like mannequins with heads and models of how humans hear for identifying sources inside a car.

HRTF stuff is fun, if that's what you're referring to! :) I've worked with some of that stuff before, including the stupidly overpriced mannequin heads.

> Some of these devices for automotive are large enough to surround a car on 3-4 sides, with several hundreds of microphones and the associated cables and positioning arms. Depending on where the devices he mentioned are being used, there are things like mannequins with heads and models of how humans hear for identifying sources inside a car.

Do you work in a field that would benefit from the same results, for a fraction of the cost? Or, if not, do you have any advice on how to find and talk to these mythical industries that could pay me? It looks like Porsche wanted to build their own, in house, but I'm hoping if it costs less than a tenth as much, maybe more people would want one.

> Our results also have important implications for mechanisms underpinning two major language dispersals. The expansion of the Indo-European language family from the Western Eurasia steppes has traditionally been associated with mounted pastoralism, with the CWC serving as a major stepping stone in Europe39,40,41. However, while there is overwhelming lexical evidence for horse domestication, horse-drawn chariots and derived mythologies in the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European family, the linguistic indications of horse-keeping practices at the deeper Proto-Indo-European level are in fact ambiguous. The limited presence of horses in CWC assemblages43 and the local genetic makeup of CWC specimens reject scenarios in which horses were the primary driving force behind the initial spread of Indo-European languages in Europe44.

This is a pretty big shift in the story of how the IE languages spread westward to Europe. It also would seem to firm up the timing of the spread as happening sometime not too much later than 4000BCE (when horses were domesticated) since the westward spreading peoples had horses, but horse culture hadn't become as central to their lives as it was with the eastern-migrating IE speakers.

> By contrast, DOM2 dispersal in Asia during the early-to-mid second millennium BC was concurrent with the spread of chariotry and Indo-Iranian languages, whose earliest speakers are linked to populations that directly preceded the Sintashta culture11,12,45. We thus conclude that the new package of chariotry and improved breed of horses, including chestnut coat colouration documented both linguistically (Supplementary Discussion) and genetically (Extended Data Fig. 8)

I can't see the Supplementary discussion, but the chestnut coloration is likely referring in part to the Vedic (1500BC) description of a red horse (aruṣa). There are also probably contemporaneous Avestan terms.

It's pretty neat that the early mention of a chestnut/red colored horse parallels the genetic distribution of that phenotype, if I'm understanding the article correctly.
Depends on the threat model. Settlers of the 19th century had a legal system and were mostly able to defend their settlements, though not to take on, say, the Japanese empire.

The Amish are probably able to put some kind of legal system together themselves, but their decided religious pacifism limits them to living under protection of others.
Right

I am in the same boat with you. I am simultaneously wowed and underwhelmed to some degree.

Yes it is amazing when it gets right, it feels like cheating. But at the same time, it many times, does ... too much? To read a huge chuck of code and figuring out where it goes wrong is not a thing for me. Also Copilot doesn't really know the API, so yes, the amount of mental tax isn't less to make sure your program really behaves.

But again, I see the idea of Copilot is already huge win. I hate writing those manual scripts just offer people an entrance to some utility behind. Copilot does those things, surprisingly well and with accuracy.

Let it improve in the future, and we will see changes that quite fundamental to the idea of programming itself.
By bucking the trend and good PR really. Framework is interesting, but in reality reminds me of when Thinkpads were still tank-like workhorses that were quasi self-servicable over decade a ago. For the most part, you could swap components out, which is Framework's whole schtick.

The ship has sailed on replaceable RAM and storage IMO, because most of us want the performance increases that losing upgradability brings. It's a trade-off but one that's worth it in the long run.
It doesn't assume the public had an appetite, it describes how these bad-actors spiked the existing appetite. Even the idea that it's going to be expensive is a product of their disinformation. Inaction is the expensive choice... the cost of environmental degradation is HUGE. e.g. the california wildfires, the massive west coast heat wave this year, hurricanes, building dykes to hold back rising sea levels. On and on. The bill for fossil fuels is stacking up and we're all going to pay for it.

Open Source has licenses that must be followed. Copilot strips those off and ignores them.
When it works it's fine. But I'm getting bug reports that users have to install or update it manually to run x86 binaries, which is terrible UX for anything that isn't a developer tool.

Don't take this comment as gospel though, I have not had time or resources to investigate what was going on.
The hour specifier in "5,17,32,47 * * * *" is "*", so this would count as a wildcard job, and Debian cron would not run it at xx:00. But, if the hour specifier started with anything but "*", that would be problematic. For example "5,17,32,47 0-23 * * *" appears equivalent, but Debian cron would run this one four times at xx:00 after a time jump.

Edit: I just ran the second example – https://gist.github.com/cuu508/7e42e5eecd42babf43f8d0dd0d987...
They have turn signals, along with flashing hazard lights. And they’re quite necessary, since they’re often traveling at less than a quarter of the speed of the traffic around them.

Without a turn signal, car drivers would try to pass a buggy that has moved into the middle of the lane in order to make a left turn.

Normal? Yes. Ok? That's kinda up to you.

Being able to design a solution, get buy in from leadership, and most importantly execute a solution at the strategy level is a valuable skill. I think behavioral interviewing, where candidates are asked to describe an experience/situation/project similar to what they would end up doing in the role they are interviewing for, is a better assessment for those kind of skills than HackerRank.

That doesn't mean you won't find companies using LeetCode/HackerRank-type coding tests even at higher levels, but like you mention you could always study for that. I've had friends do that successfully.

I've gone engineer -> tech lead -> engineer -> manager / built a team -> program manager -> director / built a team -> project manager -> engineer. It doesn't take as long as you'd think to get back into the flow of coding full time. Also, the rate of technical change keeps increasing anyway, so everybody's kinda in the same boat from the perspective of keeping up to speed technically.

I switched to Windows on my desktop primarily because of the support of the modern games (like upcoming Battlefield 2042) and generally higher performance.

To gain back the linux dev environment, I got a decent laptop (used), and installed linux, but I use the VSCode remoteSSH capability on windows, which works super well.

I dabbled in trying to set up passthrough to a VM, however from research, the chance of getting banned by anti cheat on some games was not worth the risk.
This article seems very misleading and honestly doesnt really analyse Facebooks actual experiment (which seems pretty flawed as other HN posts have already pointed out). Pretty disappointing.
I believe that this kind of issue is possible with most language specific package repositories. That combined with the fact that a lot of developers upgrade dependencies without giving it a lot of thought (newer is better) probably means that this will happen again.

Still, when I update packages on my Debian install, I am not worried at all about this kind of issue. That makes me wonder if and why Debian packages would be safer. I think that the following are reasons that I trust official Debian packages:

* it is a curated list of software: confidence in the quality of the software

* maintainers follow up on security issues: confidence in security issues being fixed in a timely manner

* packages are signed: confidence that package is created by a trusted maintainer

* trustworthy maintainers: not everyone can upload new versions of packages, it takes time to become a new maintainer

So it makes me wonder whether a similar concept of curated repositories for language specific package repositories would be useful or needed... am I the only one to think about this?

As an established professional applying to Big tech, I kind of enjoyed LC prep.

It’s a rare opportunity to see other people solve the same problem as you, and I found I discovered quite a few interesting tricks, and was generally in awe of some people’s grasp of DP (I’m quite sure any DP whiteboard problem would stop me in my tracks).

The big learning for me was exactly the kinds of problems I knew I could solve versus those I knew I could not. I got two of the latter in my interviews, and immediately refocused on getting as much help as I could, which worked, and which I now would see as a positive signal as an interviewer. I’m always happy to hear “this is a problem of type X. I know I need to do Y and honestly I’ll probably need some help but let’s see what we can do”.

Or asymmetry in the desire to report it. Any country reports threats against them wide and far, and they downplay or ignore any threatening actions they make.
