That's not really related to this article, but I can select photo quality if I send a photo on Android. Appears to have been added in May.
Does it have to be ARM based? Most old laptop (you probably already own) can do everything a Pi can, but better at negligible energy cost. If you want to stream, you can remote control an old android for instance. If you want something similar with good graphics, Jetson Nano is good.
It would be crazy not to.

One 10x engineer is what, 300K total comp?

I don't think I can get the equivalent of a 10x by splitting that 300K and hiring more coders at a lower price. That also means more employees to manage, more communication channels and more 1:1 time because they are less autonomous. Doesn't scale as well.

If you can find them, 10x are an incredible value.
I think the problem is sysadmin is NOT something you can learn using a personal account. Same for most DevOps things too, you simply don't have 1) the $$, and 2) the many services that you can play with. You HAVE to join a large corporation to learn the real stuff.

Plus nowadays more and more companies are going on cloud, so there are fewer sysadmins jobs anyway.

I'm someone who really wants to be in some admin jobs, be it DBA or sysadmin, problem is I first joined as a business analyst, and now I'm a DWH developer/Data engineer hybrid, every step towards a admin-ish job takes way too long and difficult for me :/
Used Swift Playgrounds with my then 8 year old, it was neat except that it was actually pretty buggy. The game would get into a bad state somewhat often.
I'm glad that the first section of this points to the official Django project documentation [1], which is one of the best project documentations I've ever seen.

I programmed in Python for scientific computing for a dozen years before picking up Django for my first web app. What an absolute joy it's been.

Does the book address the study I've cited? I'd be happy to discuss.
It was definitely a minimum viable product, but:

2600: US$190 in 1977, sold 30 million units as of 2004.

Colecovision: $175, 1982. 2 million units sold.

Intellivision: US$275 in 1979, sold 3 million.

Pac-Man for the 2600: 1982, 8 million units sold.

The 2600 was discontinued after the technologically-superior Intellivision and Colecovision were discontinued. The Colecovision cost less than the Atari when it came out and still couldn't move more consoles than Atari moved copies of Pac-Man.

Technically I guess the Intellivision and Colecovision were competing with the 5200 (1982, $270, 1 million sold) but none of them lasted more than a couple of years, versus the 2600 finally going out of production for good in 1992.

(All data from Wikipedia except for the Coleco and 5200's launch prices, which came from an IGN page listing launch prices.)
I think that's a really hard problem to phrase correctly no matter what you do, because no matter what you do, you're swimming upstream against almost the entire mathematical education that person has had up to that point. Up to that point the answer to "Susie has 37.8 cookies and wants to split them evenly weighted by the body mass of the 17 people in her class, how many cookies does each person get?" has never been "Why the hell does she want to do that?" But that's the kind of answer you're fishing for at that point.

No criticism intended of the question itself. Every stats course should have it in there somewhere, it's a very important one. But I'v personally tried my hand at how to phrase it exactly right a couple of times and it's really, really hard.

(Since this is an invitation for 50 people to post their attempts, I would also point out it's easy to phrase it in a way that works for you, who wrote the question. You might find if you take it out for testing that it doesn't work as well as you thought, though. But by all means, smash that reply button. I can't stop you. :) )

I'm definitely biased towards all-AMD Linux laptops these days. And this past summer I bought an ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition.

I really liked that laptop's CPU and dGPU. In Linux, I always have an easier time with GPU drivers/behavior with AMD vs. nVidia.

Unfortunately, with that particular laptop I realized I also care a lot about the key caps. I really hated their flatness and (to me) peculiar texture.

So I looked around for another all-AMD laptop, and the best candidate I spotted was the System76 Pangolin. Unfortunately it appears to have very similar key caps, so I didn't get one.

I ended up reluctantly buying a 2021 Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (AMD CPU, nVidia dGPU), because the keyboard feels much better. I'd rather deal with nVidia driver hassles than with an always unpleasant keyboard.

But I would have gladly payed another $100-200 for a laptop with the best of all worlds:

- AMD CPU

- AMD dGPU

- pleasant-feeling keycaps

I'm hoping that as AMD gains more laptop market share, eventually I can get such a laptop. (Assuming I stick with x86, which is less relevant to me each year.)
Whats wrong with laptops now? You can of course 3D print that.

Get help. Someone to talk to. Maybe a therapist but probably a coach.

I'd suggest looking up a local independent coach. Maybe ask around for references. If you can get the company to pay for it, great (should be worth it to them). Otherwise pay for it yourself.

You have thought about this a lot, and come to a big realization. You need an outside sounding board to help you think through the implications and figure out next steps. A coach seems like a great fit because they are aimed at personal development, whereas a therapist is for fixibg things. It doesn't sound like you need fixing.

(Saying this because of personal experience with coaches)

Oh how noble of them to look out for the little guy. There is a small chance that they are just opportunists gauging as much money as possible out of any avenue they can. Of course it would be unheard of for a big business with a practical monopoly over a basic human necessity to do such a thing.

It's all fairly straightforward actually, as long as you're familiar with how compensation works at big companies (salary, stock, bonus, refreshers). Blind and levels.fyi have raised the transparency on comp quite a bit. $1M/year total compensation (that's annual comp, not the total four year vest) is reasonable for a L8/director-level at the tech giants. This is before tax of course, which is how literally everyone talks about compensation.

I think it makes sense if the goal is to never approve such an app. A rejection and subsequent tinkering might allow a derivative to make it through. Perhaps they believe in leaving such projects in purgatory and the developer unable to troubleshoot.
The only issue is that Rust programmers do not do anything usefull. The only place i heard Rust is used is in Firefox.

One feature of Swift Playgrounds that really doesn't get as much attention as it deserves is the Swift Playground Book [1] subscription:

> You create content for the Swift Playgrounds app by writing playground books. Like traditional books, playground books are made up of chapters and pages. Unlike traditional books, they include executable Swift code that displays the results live, right on the page.

> Swift Playgrounds subscriptions, like podcasts, are a sequence of episodic content arranged in an order that builds knowledge while allowing more advanced learners to skip content. Subscriptions exist on the internet as feeds—downloadable lists of items that apps and websites can deal with. You publish a set of playgrounds as a feed that the Swift Playgrounds app can download, process, and display.

You publish them on your own website, via a JSON feed. No App Store review needed. You could treat it like a Jupyter Notebook, or an interactive story world - whatever you want.

Well, size and battery life is important, when you want to use it as the heart of a robot for example.

And yes, a android device (with broken and deactivated screen) is maybe the way to go for small size mobile computing power.
I’m sure it was a chaotic day for him too. Where were you when you heard? Heard what? That he was shot, that he died, or perhaps other updates he may have received during the day.

Are you asking specifically or generally? Maybe he knew he was in Dallas but didn’t remember the name of the hotel.
That's a very odd take. There are very few homes one wouldn't be able to afford (yes, with a mortgage) at 2M/year.
Not saying this means you actually need to add constructors and destructors, but I think the main tricky bit is when you have eg. a grow / shrinkable array and want to call something on it that removes elements and it should be calling destructors on those. AFAICT there's no clear place to add a `defer` that makes it happen at the right time at the lexical site those elements are originally added. I think this is where the main RAII complexity comes from vs. the lexical scope local variable scenario which is definitely handled by `defer`.

All that said, not an argument for having that, just wanted to nuance it. I think not having it and keeping the language focused on its priorities can be good, for example.
Considering how Google’s treated AR and VR in the last 10 years, hyping people up then quietly pulling back support and finally cancellation after just 2-3 years, I don’t see this going well.

Not just AR/V like Glass. Web and mobile software, hardware, and platforms.

We've seen so many projects launch with incredible hype and die on the vine a few years later or wither to insignificance from lack of customer support, developer resources, or a workable strategy. Nexus. Blogger. Stadia. Music. Plus. Wave.

The lesson is clear: Google can't be trusted.
No I'm talking about actual observations. I'm not going to nitpick about semantics with you no this. Extinction rates are 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than normal, which is not sustainable.

> I don't understand the "HTTP snippets transmuted into binary" part.

Yup, my mistake, I meant to say HTTP3 over QUIC.

At a previous company(many years ago), I designed a protocol that was a replacement for aspera. The idea being that it could allow high speed transfer over long distance, with high packet loss (think 130-150ms ping). We could max out a 1gig link without much effort, even with >0.5% packet loss.

In its present form its optimised for throughput rather than latency. However its perfectly possible to tune it on fly to optimise for latency.

Only C++ has all of what you mention. Plenty of languages provide RAII without introducing all that complexity such as Ada, Rust, Vale. D has RAII but unfortunately it too carries much (but not all) of the complexity of C++.
The problem, of course, is that vaccinations don't _end_ pandemics.

If they did, some places would likely be completely free of COVID. However, they are not.

They lessen the effects but many people have pointed out that this whole thing is entirely new territory: We have a flu "vaccination" but the flu us just something people learn to live with.

We have never——ever——forced mass vaccination against a viral respiratory infection. Because we cannot vaccinate it away. COVID is here to stay and I (personally) don't think anything will happen until people contract it enough to get a good natural immunity and then things will go away.
Its the same type of cancel culture, but this time it's a country being "offended", not a person.

There is some duplication of effort but sometimes progress happens via rewrites and that might actually be a faster way to an 8/10 system than direct collaboration?

Also I think it’s interesting to see how this builds on Google’s work (the googcc algorithm). Which of course builds on previous open source work. The underlying technical collaboration happens even with quite different organizational goals and different codebases.
There is no circumvention going on. The problem with the t2 chip is more of the lack of proper driver support, because it’s Frankenstein hardware even for Apple.

There should be a driver to support apple NVME implementation, and that should get you to boot on a t2 mac.
Crazy that this actually works reliability.
You can't, it is a religion.
At least the previous iteration so much about “completing” anything. It didn’t use the gamification-like mechanisms (“challenges”). And it was not “not real” programming. It left out a lot of the complexity of a project and focused on writing source code, the very heart of the definition of programming.

I use them the way I use the REPL in languages that have it: to quickly try out an idea, or to improvise some single-purpose one-off data munging.

> may just disconnect from the grid and then the numbers really won't work

Which works until everybody is off the grid and then collapses.

Everybody relies on the fact that the grid is ubiquitous. Street lights, traffic lights, water pumps, etc. When the grid isn't ubiquitous, you lose all manner of things we take for granted.

We've seen this before in California. Some suburbs made a point of being in unincorporated land to avoid being associated with LA. Well, they found out really quickly that their infrastructure was horribly expensive when they had to pay for it all themselves.
> I need a focus for my intellectual life. It needn’t be employment, but “work” is a fair way to describe it.

Intellectual life and work are completely orthogonal.

People have been taught to confuse them because it benefits the ruling class.
> We're still likely a decade or more away from mass consumer adoption of AR devices

Both Ars and Google seem a little behind the eight ball here (or a lot?). Do they realise that there are completely functional AR apps today on the Meta Quest store? Real apps where you can interact with virtual 3d objects in your own living room. I set up my own dojo with japanese decorations on all my office walls so that when I'm fighting my virtual opponent it has the right vibe. This is real, on a device in the low hundreds of dollars and owned already by millions.

I really think the media bought it's own hype 5 years ago when it went in hard on the "VR is dead" meme. All the while Facebook was changing the fundamentals of the game with a low cost portable device that all the enthusiasts snobbishly dismissed but regular consumers love.
Twitter is way better.
Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your perspective, the only method to acquire iPadOS is to use an iPad - so the designation seems fitting.

It's headless as in "headless CMS" - Plasmic is decoupled from your frontend stack, which you run and own. The content you design is delivered via API into your site/app.
> They cannot use specific 0days they know about from their military service

Of course they can, it is just illegal and might be classed as treason or similar.

Remember we are talking about getting exploits for nation states here rather than just some regular company - hiring spies is part of standard operations for the intelligence community and would be a valid zero-day acquisition strategy (depending on the protection offered for NSO by Israel).
> I left. My new job has lots of tech debt, lots of processes that are broken, but when I propose changes people listen

I'm in a non IT position right now and everybody is so stuck in the swamp everything is a 'no'. It now devolved into neverending politics. Mail fights and delays. A weird kind of bore and burn out.
What are these problems you speak of? We have countries like Gibraltar which has been 100% vaccinated since April of this year, they continue to have case spikes. It's indisputable that the vaccine doesn't prevent transmission and recently in a court of law the Federal government went on record saying it lacked evidence that it even slowed transmission. That's why the courts overruled the CMS vaccine mandates in so many states.

Personally, I think this vaccine has done a great deal of harm reduction and I'm glad people in at-risk categories have access to it, but pretending there is some big social consequence for these people not taking the vaccine is ill-informed. They might be hurting themselves, but literally no one who is alive for the next few years will escape being attacked by covid. Because no one will escape covid, there is no logic behind suggesting people refusing vaccinations is a social consequence. It's a personal consequence alone.
There were no clinical trials. There is no safety data. Perfectly healthy young people have reported heart problems after getting it.

Let's face it: anyone who takes it is participating in an experiment. It may be that the risks are OK for a lot of people. But obviously there is more to discover.

>Java and the log4j mess are similar. It's a statically typed language, but a poorly reviewed code base. The static typing didn't catch the security hole. And it's cost the US millions of dollars so far to fix it.

This is a ridiculous statement and just really devalues everything you are saying. How is a vulnerability in a library that is completely orthogonal to typing relevant in this discussion. Static typing never claimed to cure programmer stupidity.

Also when I say static typing I mean languages with good type systems, as much as people like to say typescript is bad because it's based on javascript, at least null errors are impossible if you are using strict mode unlike Java and Go where any variable could potentially be null and the compiler wont tell you if you have unhandled null cases.
Alternative take. Execution is just a multiplier of ideas.

It seems like this discussion should be raised up a level. We can debate the merits of the app itself, but then that leads to opposing, valid arguments. The app's creator can assert the numerous beneficial uses of the app. Detractors can note the potential for misuse/abuse. Neither is necessarily a winning argument in an objective sense. And thus, we need some arbiter. In this case, that arbiter is Apple, who in this case, must anger some subset of the people on this thread.

So really, the debate is "who is a valid arbiter?" On what basis should the authority to deny access to a platform/market be granted or revoked? It seems that discussion is, to date, wholly inadequate.

Understatement is easier than making a stronger case for it, and my Go experience is somewhat out of date.
Then at least what the OP is saying here and what the marketing said would align.

But at this time, there is one story of what this app does here (hacker news) and a completely different story from what is being told on the website and marketing.

The other apps that they are saying had no issues with approval, follow the story that is being told here.

I don't think it changes the problematic nature of the app. But they are claiming to be the same as the other app but there is a dramatic difference in how the capabilities of the app is communicated to Apple and users.
That's certainly your reading of things, but I'm not sure it's supported by strong evidence.
