> Like math? Engineers would rather not use math?

Gosh yes engineers would rather not use math. If there are approximations that work well enough (and when incorrect goes the way that leads to buildings not falling down) engineers definitely like to use less math.

For one thing, less math means less room to make mistakes, and often ugly but works well is better than elegant with a higher chance of failing due to people screwing up.

The transceivers get up to 90-95°C (enough to leave a little burn!) if you plug them next to each other.

They can work in that configuration (with up to 4 in that enclosure) but I'd only do it if you have a fan on the thing. It relies entirely on passive ventilation, and the enclosure gets hot, too, like 60°C or more!
This makes it seem like meaningful work cannot happen outside of a startup environment, which is patently not true.
The S&P 500 doesn't demonstrate that. It demonstrates that businesses die. It doesn't demonstrate the cause.

You might assume it's increased bureaucracy or lack of organizational competency but there isn't compelling evidence, I don't buy it, and good investors like Warren Buffett don't buy it. Talk to anyone who worked at a big successful newspaper in the 80s and anyone who worked (or works) at Coke (or Pepsi). Both will give you horror stories about bureaucracy. The newspaper industry is dead, and Coke keeps printing money (Pepsi too). Why?

"To that I say, Windows 95 runs at 4mb of memory."

My second PC was a 80486/25MHz with 4Mb of RAM - four 1MB DIMMs. I skipped 80386!

Anyway, that box ran Win 95 eventually after DOS 6 and Win 3.1, then 3.11 W4WG. I also tried out OS/2 on it - 24 1.44Mb floppies I think. It had a new MB with a DX2/66 and loads of RAM (32Mb) later on and ran Win98.

I grew up shortly after that and Linux is my weapon errr OS of choice. Looks quite cool these days and I get less problems with Teams than my MS sporting colleagues. When I need to get something installed I ask pacman or yay to install it and then crack on, whilst my colleagues play with Google and dodgy downloads.

Anyway, on Win9x, calc ran quite happily on a box with 4Mb RAM. Word 2.0 worked too ...
This is an interesting idea, though I'd be worried that it could complicate the editing process compared to mixed content and markup. In particular, the examples of selectors in Aftertext rely on the words that are being marked up. This means that if a word or name is going to be changed, then you would have to edit two places in order to make the change correctly rather than just one.
Seems like the kind of project that either doesn't care, or welcomes the resulting cease-and-desist letters, DMCA filings, etc. Maybe they could argue fair use through parody, though it may look more like satire to the right person, which has no fair use protection.
Come to think of it, this is great thinking. Sure, it's mostly symbolic but the message itself is beautiful: Finland is a wealthy nation and even in wealthy nations people don't get equal start: surely you'd have better options when your dad is an F1 world champion than the local plumber, but even so, this serves as a nice reminder. Sort of reminds me of a short story written about a century ago(and only one English translation that I'm aware of which is absolute crap annoyingly). With that in mind this[1] is probably more worthy of reading than the wretched translation.

A few photos show vehicles with no license plate in the rear. You'll notice those vehicles aren't shown from the front, so you don't see the plate they most probably have there -- since that, unlike having one at the rear, is required by law.
ConnectX3 and Intel SFP cards are pretty reliable and easy enough to get working on Linux. On my Windows 10 Pro machine, all the cards I plugged in just worked immediately, no driver install required.

I'd start there and if you find you need other features, think about spending more.
Applying for 20-30 jobs a day seems like a lot to me (US, dev), so I'm curious if the process is different for you somehow in ways I can’t figure out. I think it would be hard to find an open position, figure out whether I'm qualified, edit my resume to target the role, write a mission/personal statement, and or cover letter, depending on which are required, fill out the various forms etc. fast enough for that to be possible.

I have been advised that employers notice when candidates are spamming their resume without making a visible effort to demonstrate that they have studied the particular company offering the position, and that they are particularly well qualified for, and enthusiastic about, _this_ position, and understand and meet it's particular requirements. I have been taught to expect a very low response rate otherwise.

Also, even if I could work that fast, it would be hard to find that many positions to apply for in any limited geographic area, so by implication I would probably need to be willing to relocate to absolutely anywhere, sight unseen and alone.

I would not have time to consider or prepare for any code screening or technical interviewing in the particular tooling required, so I would feel like I would setting myself up to YOLO the interviews.

It's hard to imagine myself realistically keeping this up for weeks at a time, while also handling any interviews or prep, which in combination I would expect to need to spend 10's of hours on per interview.

Honestly, I would really like to know if my views or assumptions are incorrect, and whether I'm being too lazy, too perfectionistic, or too pessimistic?
Corporations might not, but the people working on the hiring team might. I would.
The first step is levying a significant additional fine when the culpable driver also was using their phone within 5 seconds of an accident. This should be easy to detect since most (all?) modern phones have inertial sensors which will record any sudden bumps like the impact in an accident. If law enforcement were empowered to access the sensors on both drivers' phones (and their cars) involved in an accident, they could definitively link phone use with car impact. This ought to be definitive enough that every court would summarily rule the culpable driver to be guilty of reckless driving, making the added fine impactful and indisputable. I suspect the prospect of incurring the equivalent of a DUI would cure many distracted drivers of this misbehavior.
I love this because it highlights the absurdity of owning an NFT -- just like with these Olive Gardens, you're simply getting a pointer to another thing that you neither own nor control.
More features == more complexity, likely a worse user experience, a huge maintenance overhead, and so much surface area for bugs. Not to mention the black hole that would swallow trucks of cash in terms of development time. Even simple, very purposeful apps are hard to design well. And so many of these features are insanely complicated, even if you don’t realize it. My Plex media library is currently 70TBs of movies and tv shows and it works flawlessly with about 15 active users. I’m very happy with that.
Yes, I ported a few tools to Android and worked on a few Android ports to random devices (Motorola Defy and Ainol Novo Advanced 8 being the ones I was most involved in). With regard to the problems of the "Play store" requiring $things I'm not affected since I do not use it, there is no Google-proprietary software on any of my devices. If I ever need something from the store I get it anonymously through Aurora Store. Maybe this is why my opinion of/experience with porting *nix tools is less negative?

Could be worse. My buddy ordered a basic trim Jeep Wrangler. Was supposed to get it in September then didn’t hear anything. 2 weeks ago he went to the dealership to find out his order was cancelled by the factory and had to fight his way up 3 levels of managers until they told him and gave him his money back for the deposit.
Rows with an integer id and a few integer or bit flag columns or maybe a short short fixed width char column or two and a few well though out indexes, is a way different beast compared to something with dozens of big varchar() or blob columns (or worse still, json or xml text columns with un-indexable key/values inside that you need to parse out before you can run selects on them...)
Are those _really_ of interest though? How much better are these predictions than a few engineers' predictions during normal OKR planning? Hal's comments hint they don't care about OKR estimates (or things like that) and prefer more interesting questions.

Examples: Real names and Google+. People objected and questioned these, and others, without a prediction market and they still got pushed through. There are products that are still alive but barely hanging on that were questioned too.

A successful gleangen would eliminate many PM and VP roles and they aren't going to let that happen.
Wanted to add a different thought on this topic. I started working for a mental health company this year that practices what they preach and it seems like something you might look into. Everyone odds always talking about mental health and psychology which is helpful and fascinating.
To be honest, multiple vendors have really screwed up 2.5/5/10G implementations—I tried cheaping out with FlyProFiber copper transceivers, and would get a solid 2.3 Gbps one way, with 400-800 Mbps the other way. Turns out there was tons of packet loss, but only in one direction.

They worked fine for 10 Gbps, but I had to switch to Mikrotik transceivers for 2.5G connections.
The BeOS bootloader was my favorite part of BeOS. It was more than happy to work alongside other operating systems and made sure if you had other ones installed that you could still get to them after install. Something Windows absolutely refused to do automatically and would wreck your MBR as would some "helpful" linux distributions at the time. Linux alongside Be was amazing, but BeOS didn't have a decent browser or office suite to keep them in the market after getting dumped by apple. After apple they tried to make a mobile operating system, but there wasn't any momentum for that and Symbian was pretty much accepted as the standard.
this must explain why I can't keep up with my soylent routine
more annoying ones being days around the date of adoption of the Gregorian calendar

Nobody really cares except for pedantic or historian reasons. You have to use a specialized library for such non-dumbed-down dates in programming languages, and sql is not an exception. Day is exactly 86400 seconds, with an hour correction when formatting (or parsing) under system-known DST.

Almost all systems use generic dates (at a day granularity), which are isotropic at all times, by ignoring these historical jumps. The only real/modern things are DST and leap seconds, the latter also often ignored for programmer’s sanity.

Python: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39686553/what-does-pytho...

Js (also mentions most others): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53019726/where-are-the-l...

C#: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8760674/are-nets-datetim...

Leap seconds only have sense in let’s name it “real-event-time” systems, where common generic dates are unusable anyway. It’s a complete nonsense in regular programming and in sql. Regular systems are okay with being off with each other, and leap seconds are smeared across much bigger differences by ntp et al.

Don’t overthink software dates.

Perhaps overly cynical but my take is that there’s little relationship between fundamentals and valuations of “exciting” public companies at the moment, and so acting on any grand theory about underlying value is acting in the face of an unfortunate reality: you could be right… and still lose money.

You can find example after example of company that is either vastly overvalued, or vastly undervalued, according to any reasonable measure. I have no confidence that I can effectively predict the stock price of one of these companies, and SPACs fit squarely into that category. If I was looking for high-risk high-reward, I’d rather take riskier bets on known quantities.
In general for something like this, I'd want the "highest" accolade to also be the most common, but that's just me

Short answer to your question is: yes. As a general rule, as the corporation gets larger, the work becomes more process-oriented, until it reaches a point where the process is the work.
I'm not sure that "fits in an embedded system (< 1 MB memory)" and "GUI" are compatible. At least, many (most?) embedded systems with less than 1 MB of memory don't have GUIs.

This assumes you're not also paying the cost for a bunch of copper transceivers. One benefit of 2.5G is it will work full speed through existing Cat5e cabling, and RJ45 connections.

10G requires upgraded cabling, and lower cost 10G devices may use SFP+, but most consumer gear uses RJ45.
This is no longer true.

I've worked at companies with 20 employees, and companies with 100,000 employees, and not once have I ever been asked to participate in pair programming. It would have been immensely useful in college, but VS Code already has a built-in tool that would do the job... and VS Code works on operating systems that I actually use.

Who is using this? What do you use it for? I don't mean to be facetious, I have just never been exposed to pair programming in a professional space.

The prescience of the book in regards to climate change doesn't lie in the fact that it's some sort of literal retelling of the climate science of earth (hint, it's an allergorical piece of fiction) it lies in the fact that the book recognizes three key aspects.

Firstly, the immense influence of humanity on climate and the ecology of a planet and the intertwined nature between social activity and ecology, the motivation for negative impacts on the ecology lying in the exploitation and overuse of the planets resources, and third the disproportionate impact of this on native populations, and the inability of people to understand the consequences of disturbing complex systems. (no surprise given that Herbert was intellectually close to systems thinkers from Santa Fe)

You think Dune does not address climate change because in the story the planet was already deserted? Do you think Animal Farm is a book about pigs?
Insanity.

Pivotal Labs is/was all Macs and has been "pivotal" in the pair programming era.

Building apps is hard, period. Many thousands of hours go into making commercial products. Many thousands of hours go into learning how to do so. It isn't something you just stumble upon over night.

Tone the language down a bit ("stupid fanboy"), it is unnecessary and doesn't work to convey your point at all.
The desertification of Dune was caused by ancient settlers introducing the sandtrout.

> "The sandtrout ... was introduced here from some other place. This was a wet planet then. They proliferated beyond the capability of existing ecosystems to deal with them. Sandtrout encysted the available free water, made this a desert planet ... and they did it to survive. In a planet sufficiently dry, they could move to their sandworm phase."

This is from Children of Dune.
The point of the function is that it doesn't matter you've crossed the year boundary when counting days.

A naive implementation would accidentally get tripped up by the year -- extracting the 'day' part of a timestamp, as an integer, gives you the day from the start of the year. So on one side of the year boundary you have 365 and on the other you have 1. The way to do it correctly is to multiply the day in the year by the year itself so that a '1' on a later year is a bigger number.

And of course grouping by year isn't always what you want to do :)

The issue with zombie firms is not really furlough itself but the fact that anything that prolongs a zombie firm's life will mean that firm is still sucking up things like credit and capital that would inhibit the ability of new firms to take their place. And firms that are clearly dying take a long time to finally die; even in the US, where firms are not really supported, department stores like Sears and Macy's limped on for a decade or two.

The extreme version of the sclerotic economy is probably Japan, with an honorable mention for Italy. Policymakers desperately want to avoid falling into a zombie trap, because there hasn't been a country that has made it out of one yet.

I don't remember why I was there, particularly as a physics major, but I remember a single look through while half-opening the door to a 4th? floor lab in Evans (UCB) in 1978 or so, understanding it to be the Unix lab. Not a brush-with-greatness moment per se, but "how might life be different if I had gone through the door?". I might have been lookiing for one Dr. McKracken or someone.
