For me beerol doesn't get to the density I'm looking for and caffenol, depending on a few factors, will result in a relatively high-contrast negative. The combined recipe is similar to a stock D-76 or ID-11 in terms of conventional developers.

200ft/L is a conservative estimate and I have been a part of workshops where we developed 1000ft per gallon, so YMMV. Checking my notes it looks like I processed reversal last time I did 4 rolls and so each roll would have been developed twice, essentially.
You can't progress without user interaction, sure, but you also can't progress without idling.

Factorio, on the other hand, is always a little user interaction away from progress, and waiting both doesn't progress you and isn't necessary.

Sure, idling is an option, but it doesn't get you progress.

> I'm working on migrating our apps to the parent company's VM launching and deploy platform. Should be fairly straightforward, I think. Unfortunately, the deploy tooling isn't entirely compatible with our app so I ask the team if they can implement $X feature to support our app.

That's your problem right there. That VM launching platform is most likely supporting dozens of other applications. They team handling it want to be doubleplussure that your request won't break any of the other applications.

And there are at least 42 "quick two hour tasks" in the queue before you.

As others have said already: you have two choices. 1) Embrace the zen of working inside a bureaucracy 2) Find a new fast-moving startup to work in.

We need to stop calling things "grown up" when what we mean is that they take a different set of skills. It's childish, and I think it's been causing harm in our industry.

I think we're getting better at creating collective intelligence. Every way we come up with to organize or connect a group of people is some kind of collective intelligence. Some are more intelligent than others (e.g. World cafe method), some are mostly counter productive (e.g. today's Social Media), but we're learning from our mistakes. If some groups are much better in organizing themselves than others, these others will find out and adapt the approach. That means we're having some kind of evolution of collective intelligence at play. Look how small amd large tech organizations organize themselves to work towards a goal. Popular approches get shared and modified. Some prominent examples are: Google uses OKRs, Amazon uses small independent teams, Microsoft uses internal open source collaboration.

At some point, collective intelligence will be used to explicitly create better collective Intelligence systems. I believe that if humanity reaches that point, our species will survive and thrive. If we don't, we'll go extinct.

But I'm optimistic and think reaching that point in the near future is realistic. If only a company with enough resources realizes that they can combine the brains of their employees to create something more intelligent, they would have a huge competitive advantage. And that's worth working on.

If you're working on collective intelligence systems, too, please reach out.
I don't think encryption backdoors will ever be enforceable, even if it becomes a legal requirement. What's to stop someone from just doing it anyway if we use protocols that allow for plausible deniability?

I published the app early last year. I did not change the title after the initial optimizations. There was no problem all along until now. How would you feel if your app is deleted shortly after receiving couple of ambiguous emails in a month?

Mid last year, we changed the game play entirely. During all this time, we worked a lot and hard on it. It really hurts to see the game gone - just like that.
No, this is not how large companies work. That's how over-regulated companies work, no matter the size.
People expect self-driving cars to be better than human drivers and not just statistically better. Any accident a self-driving car gets into that most humans would have avoided should be considered a fault of the self-driving system. There shouldn't be wholly new ways to get killed on the highway and us just shrug it off as yeah but fewer people are dying overall. That's not gonna fly.

We must demand better.

I’ve been struggling for years too in my 20s. I suggest reading ‘The Hackers Diet’ by John Walker. It gives you a systems view of diets. The most useful insight for me: setting a weight loss goal based on the fact that a kg of fat is 37 MJ of energy. Want to lose a kilogram a week? You have to make up that 37 MJ deficit then. Ie. I need ~13 MJ of energy per day to subsist (calculated using an online tool). I subtract (37/7 = 5.3) from that daily energy requirement and arrive at 7.7 MJ per day that I can eat. I stick to that intake goal EVERY SINGLE DAY and I lose weight. It helps to keep punching your small energy intake amounts into a calculator (phone or watch) and keeping a running total that way. I’ve gone from 92 to 84 kg in a couple of months and it’s not that hard. Strenuous exercise doesn’t really do much when your energy intake is way too much to begin with. It all starts with the intake. Exercise actually doesn’t burn much energy at all.

Hopefully someone else can provide guidance. Please don't get discouraged. This will all pass soon. Happy holidays friend!
What “small” company is hiring employees in so many countries that it’s burdensome to publish wages on their website.
Huawei AX3 does something similar. As does any Xfinity router (but I think you can turn that off) but the Xfinity mesh is actually pretty decent if you have a subscription. Similarly, in Vietnam HCMC you can connect to wifi anywhere in the city because every telco/isp router creates a mesh like Xfinity. It's not a bad idea: having wifi network everywhere, but I suspect 5G will obviate this need. Wouldn't surprise me if home routers became a thing of the past in some areas if 5G delivers.

FYI: `airodump-ng` is a great way to see whats going on with any new router since it hops channels.
Considering the hard part of effects is implementing them at the language level, deferring on syntax is a good problem to have.
Re: [1] 45 PB = 45,000 TB
A lot of people have talked about the issues with this post, but I wanted to call out one specific thing:

The first engineer I talk to doesn't even attempt to answer my question but redirects me to their manager. Ok, that's odd, I think, but whatever.

This is definitely not odd. The whole point of managers is that they're there to protect their engineers from getting off track with every random request that comes up. I understand that it may feel bureaucratic, but as an engineer, someone who insists on talking to me directly without going through my manager is always going to mark themselves as someone who doesn't respect my time and doesn't understand that they're not the center of my universe.

This feels like a rant of someone who isn't willing to put themselves in the shoes of the other team and understand the real complexity of deploying and maintaining large infrastructure systems over long periods of time. Any "small option" that the deploy team adds today is most likely going to be an option that they're still maintaining 5, 10 years down the line. As the saying goes—"an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". In the best case, taking a few days to get the requirements right up front is (hopefully!) going to save months and months of cumulative man-hours down the road for maintaining the system later, or making future changes. In your case, if I understand right, your work got approved within *two days*—hardly an onerous wait time.

I'll admit that the "for compliance reasons, you can't see our codebase" thing is kind of odd, and it would strike me as a bit of a red flag, but I'll also admit that, personally, if I was in that manager's shoes, I wouldn't want you anywhere near my codebase either. Just purely based on the way that you treat other engineers' time as worthless & fail to consider the possibility that the business has broader priorities that extend outside of your own personal tasks.
Aren't semicolons the correct english list separator?
I wonder if its worth it for these platforms (like Heroku) to simply add a donation portal. It's not as future proof as something fully open, but it wouldn't need the design, implementation and maintenance of a brand new fully open PAAS ecosystem.

Between none and very little, unless you are seriously suggesting building new gas power plants.

Neither solar nor wind works during these cold winter days when power usage is at its highest. There’s nowhere to build new hydro. Coal is being banned.
Nonsense. Free banking systems worked fin in Scotland and Canada on a gold standard, and would arguably work even better in an internet connected society. Central banks exist purely to give governments full control over money.

I don't think a failure to explicitly note that apple had a reason in every comment is at all the same as pretending there was no reason. Same for explicitly noting that there is at least some reason to "get over it".

"Is this how it's like at all large companies?" Short answer is probably yes. Depending on where you are located, but with large corps you may end up with SOX among other things.

Over time all the tools will fine tune to all the new processes and the overhead will hopefully be reduced. If there is ambition for this.

Also, have in mind that many large security breaches happens when large corporations acquisition smaller companies and tries to incorporate them too fast.

Do not be too quick to switch job is my general advice.
> Besides, if you did not do anything wrong, its not like you have anything to worry about.

Out of curiosity what do you mean specifically by this statement ?
looking closely at the software, what they've done is pretty remarkable. due to loss in recording, the author home spun some pretty clever reconstruction techniques that start to look vaguely ml'ish.

which is kind of the joke i guess. a lot of what people call ml and ai has been used for noisy signal decoding for a long, long time.
Describing it as “hidden” is a bit sensational. I don’t think I can walk past it in a group without someone throwing out this factoid. It’s also unapologetic about what it is—no fake windows or any of that garbage.
3nm chip production requires BEUV litoghraphy. That one is far out. The so-called 5nm nodes can currently only produce 14nm-sized features. If there is a customer that is willing to reserve the entire EUV and BEUV output of TSMC, so be it; but also keep in mind it is unlikely to see such a large project.
Away team work is standard at Amazon. Of course you still may have to go to office hours and sign up for busy teams.
The security model for this doesn't look utterly broken. Seems that you need to go into the main router and "add" the mesh nodes. They obviously appear there by attaching to these hidden networks.

But since this is configuration-free, that suggests that the mesh devices store a single static key for these networks and can join any such network. Whatever protocols exposed on that interface better not have any security problems, or you'll have a backdoor.

You could make this somewhat secure by having a TPM in the mesh device that signs a challenge-response to get the hidden network key by MAC-address, but that seems too complicated.

They could simply having the mesh endpoints broadcast a proprietary AP, and 'adding' by joining that network from the primary device and setting configuration.

This is your moment of clarity: start interviewing.
Unrelated but kind of related: I stopped looking at TP-Link routers(and other cheap chinese routers) as soon as their android app required registration: obviously for legal reasons due to all the "good-faith telemetry"[surely not shady at all], etc.

Disgusting.. ended up paying more for an asus router(related to the article: not needing 4g/5g), not perfect or made in the west nor enterprise-tier but good enough for home usage, also pretty decently supported by open firmware solutions.
I love this site. It's a great resource to find weird guns in 80's movies.

Oh man, this resonates quite a bit, as a perpetual "how can I find the perfect system that melds with my mind" sort of person.

For me, one of the biggest lessons is really teasing out the differences between what the computer can do and is good at, and what I can do. It's VERY easy to confuse the two. In fact, I think this is why I think most AI is completely overhyped.

Computers keep perfect records and can remind you of things. This is basically the only thing the computers can definitely outdo you, the human, on. They really can't think as good as you. I think a great example of this is the Mindmap/graph stuff prevalent in many note taking deals. I used to love these things (and they're fun) until I realized that my own brain is SO MUCH BETTER than this thing at this particular task. I make these connections far better than this thing ever can.
It's both funny and sad you've got to remind that to people who post on HN of all places...
> I think we don’t remember the things because we know they are at the reach of our fingers.

To be more precise: studies have shown that passive learning is significantly less effective than active learning[1]. "Active" learning involves intentional recall, as opposed to passive review. Searching things is passive review. Racking your brain to try to remember the prototype of a function is active recall, which significantly strengthens the memory in your brain.

So, yes, this is the reason, and there's scientific evidence to back it up.

Well, we are talking about a body that finds the constitution protects privacy, even though CTRL-F 'privacy' has zero results.

I am not saying they are right or wrong, but any pretense that the courts rule based on the text of the law should be discarded.

The reality is they find rights and laws that seem reasonable to their own selves, and disregard precedent that is poorly argued (ie they don't like the result).

The alternative is perhaps that we are stuck with Plessy v Ferguson until the end of time or a constitutional amendment is ratified (end of time seems more plausible).
The details interesting to most of us are what the various vaccines fail to do.

> Article 3(2), a new feature of the GDPR, creates extraterritorial jurisdiction over companies that have nothing but an internet presence in the EU and offer goods or services to EU residents[1]. While the GDPR requires these companies[2] to follow its data processing rules, it leaves the question of enforcement unanswered. Regulations that cannot be enforced do little to protect the personal data of EU citizens.

> This article discusses how U.S. law affects the enforcement of Article 3(2). In reality, enforcing the GDPR on U.S. companies may be almost impossible. First, the U.S. prohibits enforcing of foreign-country fines. Thus, the EU enforcement power of fines for noncompliance is negligible. Second, enforcing the GDPR through the designated representative can be easily circumvented. Finally, a private lawsuit brought by in the EU may be impossible to enforce under U.S. law.

[snip]

> Currently, there is a hole in the GDPR wall that protects European Union personal data. Even with extraterritorial jurisdiction over U.S. companies with only an internet presence in the EU, the GDPR gives little in the way of tools to enforce it. Fines from supervisory authorities would be stopped by the prohibition on enforcing foreign fines. The company can evade enforcement through a representative simply by not designating one. Finally, private actions may be stalled on issues of personal jurisdiction. If a U.S. company completely disregards the GDPR while targeting customers in the EU, it can use the personal data of EU citizens without much fear of the consequences. While the extraterritorial jurisdiction created by Article 3(2) may have seemed like a good way to solve the problem of foreign companies who do not have a physical presence in the EU, it turns out to be practically useless.
The spike protein, even through Omicron, is the most stable part. Your stupid body can pick up on any feature of the virus, and any other identifier is worse than the spike protein against the natural waves of different variants. Even if Omicron is worse than against natural immunity (something I would not concede, but will for the sake of this sentence) you're likely to have gotten COVID more times naturally than someone who was vaccinated over the past year.

Since there is literally no downside, get the fucking vaccine.
Correct. But that's not how whataboutism is often actually used in practice in Internet discussions. Many people often invoke whataboutism to reject any kind of comparison. Especially in political discussions, whataboutism is often invoked to excuse double standards.

They've been arriving for the last few decades, but haven't been successful yet. No one has really thought through a fluid efficient editing experience for them that can leverage the benefits of structure without the stilted input entry that the structure seems to imply so far...and our understanding of UI hasn't gotten much better than it was before.

A bit too foggy right now to have any valid thoughts on reflection, but I intuitively imagine strings can be abused to that end.
So after the Ubiquiti debacle I went out and looked for a similar combination (solid hardware + not-too-annoying software). After briefly considering Mikrotik (which has issues with ac (wifi 5) and no ax (wifi 6) support) I settled on Grandstream for now. They don't just make phones but a small set of fairly nicely featured wifi APs for ok prices. Hardware seems solid, Software not annoying.

I've bought a few pieces from TP-Link when I was a poor student, not too bad as far as datasheet-specs per dollar goes, but the firmware was always exactly the kind of trashfire you'd expect and the hardware exactly what you paid for (not much). Definitely the kind of device you have to try real hard to fake your surprise when you find dozens of unpatched CVEs and no firmware updates.
I hate to say it, but, in agreement with many others here, this isn't all that unusual. It's probably on the worse end of normal, but isn't abnormal.

What do you do? Well, I assume you have some sort of retention bonus or stock lockup that requires you to stay for a while if you want the money, so decide if it's worth it to you to stay, and quit if not.

If you decide to stay, you'll have to find a way to remove yourself emotionally from this work for a while. Stop caring about how long things take, and coast for a bit. Rearrange your time so you front-load things that you can do on your own, without onerous process or others' permission. Try to anticipate things you'll need to get done that will require coordination or help from other teams, and start that process as soon as you can.

I agree it's frustrating, and not what you're used to, but if the money is good enough such that you want to stick around for a bit, you'll have to adapt both your attitude and how you organize your work.
