True, but I don't think it's the same for second and third level managers.

Basically, you as a manager do all the hard work.

The boss of your boss... he can do some hard work, or he can just rely on you and the other direct managers, and simply get the benefits.
I identify strongly with 2,4 and weakly with 3. I actually don’t feel entirely hostile towards crypto (I dabble and keep up with the latest to see if/when things will get interesting) but I tend to write very negatively about current blockchain technologies and utopian vision about them

Also, you’re missing another reason: we’re entering an age of techno-pessimism. After the techno optimism of the 90s and aughts, a lot of people were let down by the consequences that this technology had on society. Tracking across the internet, widespread misinformation and post-truth, total dominance by a handful of corporate behemoths, etc. some people are inspired by the anti-corporate message of this article, other people just feel burned from the optimism of the last few decades and what it became
Always was.
I don't think this undercuts the security reasons. I think the general idea is that if you leave Zoom / FaceTime / OBS open and recording, the orange dot is there. Same dot, same place, no matter what app you are using, as long as the developer doesn't disable it.

Using the API to disable the dot requires some pretty scary permissions to be enabled on the app disabling the dot.
It's not a horrible answer, though it wouldn't make my top 3 list. Learning different models of programming is almost always worthwhile, though how much time you put in will depend on your objectives. Languages and systems in the declarative/logical/relational vein like Prolog, minikanren, and others are worth examining at least once. If you grok them, it can be very handy with prototyping, even if it doesn't make it into production. And if you really grok them, you can Greenspun a Prolog into your system more effectively when it turns out its model is actually appropriate to a portion of the system.

With regard to this, though:

> When you modify it, you have to understand the logical world state.

That's true of any non-trivial program someone may write and/or modify. Changing without understanding is just going to get your garbage (perhaps functional garbage, but still garbage).
It could sit on a shit ton of interpreter too.
Have you heard of Scuttlebutt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Scuttlebutt)? The entire protocol revolves around 'pulling' other people's feeds - unlike most all modern social media, it's a pull-based rather than push-based model. It sounds quite similar to what you're looking for, at least based on the way you describe it in this particular comment.
It has to become a workforce that skews young and inexperienced, if older and/or more experienced developers (such as those with families) have options to go to the studios that don’t do permanent crunch time?

I’m getting the feeling from some recent AAA games (looking at you EA/DICE) that quality is going down with each released game while spin-off studios pop up indicating to an outsider that some “core” competence has left.
I think by serving an alternative way of doing things we're a nice position to imagine making that comparison. So, which industries are more innovative software/tech or those that have some kind of standards/gate-keeping?

Admittedly it's not like a super fair comparison because we're still in the a very nascent phase of software as an industry, but I think as a concept the question still poses merit. Maybe when the industry matures more we'll finally establish a bar, but in the meanwhile I think most of the money people feel that there's just too much work to do for that to happen.

Personally, I don't really know what's the optimal way to do things. Mainly my point is that it's interesting that we even exist. Like, we are one of the only "professionals" who don't have any standards to adhere... and this is precisely why interviews are so hard in our field. Sometimes they're asinine, as has been discussed here.

(FWIW I try really hard to be a good interviewer and to give the candidate a pleasant experience and to design everything so they feel fairly judged and I get good signal)
That seems different than sorting by time?

My minor exa gripe is described here: https://github.com/ogham/exa/issues/519

Lots of workarounds, even more available now, but I ended up switching to lsd and love it. I like the file type icons.
Perhaps professionals with a lot of money riding on it, sure. But for prosumers, the status quo was good enough that breaking it cannot be justified by "oh it wasn't perfect so who cares?"
Military-industrial contracting in the United States seems to suck up a vast amount of developer talent, and that's all public spending. I'm not sure how you're distinguishing developers working in the fields of public health care, public education, public infrastructure etc. from those working under the secrecy umbrella of the military-industrial contracting system in this argument?
I mean literally following a crowd into a capital.
Given extremes of "a great product sells itself" vs "well-marketed vaporware is successful," the former is more true.

I don't disagree. I'm just saying that using the details of a job to negotiate pay is just part of the process.
It's kind of like saying Hollywood is in crisis because mid-budget fresh IP movies are almost extinct because the studios only want to make comic book movies that pull in a billion dollars at the box office.

From a creative output standpoint it is probably true, but the only thing that matters in Hollywood is money and by that measure they are doing fine.
Poland still operates MIG-29s, as well as extremely outdated Su-22.

Ugh. I haven’t worked with an independent QA team in 15 years or so; testing is the responsibility of the dev team and there are test engineers on each team to facilitate that.

Maybe this is a difference of building a product vs contracting? We have to keep what we build running for years; there is no turnover to a client where can declare the system “done”.

As for redefining agile, I’ve done no such thing. The agile manifesto calls for working software. It calls for collaboration. Avoiding knowledge sharing amongst team members and throwing software over the fence to a remote test team are both counter to that goal (in my experience).
This question doesn’t really make sense. Tailwind is just modern CSS, it’s just a composable shorthand for applying styles. There’s plenty of CSS grid utilities in Tailwind: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/grid-template-columns
Very interesting! I like the idea. One sort of concerning thing is in the comparison chart on the page, the middle column (the TinyVG renderer) the images look a little blurry to me. Is that just a limitation of the renderer? I suppose since the right column is clear, it means the spec is _capable_ of producing clear images, right?
I think you misread tptacek's line of questioning. It's not about the quality / superiority of what over what, but the initial motivation for rand switching away from PCG:

> This was done after some concerns were raised by the author of xoshiro, who posted a blog entry on PCG and also raised an issue on the possibility of PCG being invertible.

PCG and the XOR family are both non-cryptographic RNGs, how is predictability or invertibility relevant then? If those are concerns, surely a CSPRNG should be used?

The "quality" of randomness is very much a concern in non-secure contexts e.g. patterns in an RNG can bias your simulation, but it doesn't seem like it'd matter if somebody can recover even your simulation seed.
Seems needless inefficient to me - if you’re going to use an elected body and fall back to simple majority the existing systems can already do it faster.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose
The way you described building a simple website (text editor only) works just as well today.

You need the frontend frameworks, build processes and million NPM dependencies only when working inside of a developer team for an enterprise software of some sort.
No, it's not 'clear' at all. SA has 70-80% natural immunity, the UK does not. They have different healthcare facilities, rates of testing, data collection.

Nothing we've seen yet is definitive.
In the 50 years since Roe, Republicans have won a lot of elections. Democrats have won somewhat more elections. So, first, it's hard to criticize them for not doing what they've never had the power to do, and second, if it's their strategy for winning elections, it's not quite a winning strategy.

It seems to me that Republicans have opposed abortion more consistently than either party has acted on any other policy position. (Not totally consistently, but more consistently than on anything else.) It's hard to view that as hypocrisy. You can oppose it, hate it, whatever, but they do seem to be following through on their position.

And, what progress have they made? They went from a 7-2 liberal Supreme Court majority in 1972 to a 6-3 conservative majority today. That's where they made progress on defeating abortion.
I'm not valuing it at 200k. You're basing that number on some extreme outlier 500k wage that was plucked out of the air. Hardly the norm in the US.

Fwiw, I'll grant that the US is ahead in big tech but I'd never move there. The quality of life is pretty poor compared to wealthy European countries. I've spent a lot of time there and I'm sorry to say, you seem a bit delusional to us over here. Life is hard in the US to many people here and kind of uncivilised in terms of social safety nets, inequality and any number of other metrics.
On my machine, Dropbox, Alfred, BetterTouchTools, and Bartender have this permission. Zoom is in the list of apps that can be given this permission, but the permission is disabled by default and Zoom works fine without it - though the very fact that some may have given this permission to Zoom might be a cause of alarm! And it's possible Apple may patch away the ability of accessibility tools to mess with this, without giving a better system-level way to disable it...
> GPUs, even the primitive PSX one, will draw many in a single CPU cycle. I can't find information on the PSX GPU fill rate but I'm sure it's faster than 1 pixel per CPU cycle.

GPUs do it via massive parallelization.

> DOOM didn't use the GPU to draw the walls/floors as triangles but did use the GPU to draw the scene as vertical strips. DOOM also relied on the 1Kbyte "scratchpad RAM" which was the CPU cache mapped into the address space and not subject to DMA delays.

In the days of DOOM, did the video card even offer any sort of acceleration? I was under the impression that all the texture scaling was done on the CPU. So while it rendered walls as vertical strips, it would still have to interpolate across the strip on the CPU.

So yeah, regulations will definitely work :) It will just create more lazy corps that have no motivation to be competitive
I agree that the above is what we should do as individuals to make our own interview experience smoother. It's a shame that we have to though, considering that the interviewers all have been interviewees themselves in the past and should recognize this issue.

Whenever a company’s leadership tries to gaslight employees by trying to fudge numbers like this, it’s loudly saying that they’re not interested in finding out why employees are really leaving.

To be clear, they aren’t necessarily lying, just presenting facts in a way that doesn’t address the problem. While attrition overall might be similar to other companies, if their most senior developers leave, they’re fucked. But they won’t talk about those numbers.

Anyone still at Ubisoft: better start looking around. Statistically it’s just gonna get worse.
I wonder what would happen if we set up a micro-transition traffic management future: eg. if you are in the left lane and not actively passing, 1.00$/min (or some percentage of income).

If you are switching lanes above some safety/rate threshold, $40.00 per pass, etc.

I wonder if you could gamify a safer road.

I'm not who you are replying to, but I would recommend the textbook "Machining Fundamentals" by Walker and Dixon. It's the best 101-level introduction to the topic that I have found.

The tool manufacturer Sandvik also has a decent free online set of courses that I found helpful.[0] I have also heard people mention the Titans of CNC online training courses,[1] although I have not checked them out personally.

Finally, "Machinery's Handbook" is also a venerable resource that deserves mention, but more a desk reference than something to read through as a learner. They come out with new editions regularly, but older ones are still very useful (and have better quality bindings).

Overall I would recommend seeking out resources that are addressing a professional audience, rather than a hobbyist one. Hobby-level discourse and instruction about machining varies widely in quality.

> That's 100% not true

I don't know what else to say. I work with people who put on live shows for 20,000+, they use PCs and Macs to drive the display WITHOUT Decklink or similar, and they would be upset if there was a persistent orange dot on the screen. If you want to split hairs about whether or not that makes the new macOS "unusable" in these situations, then fine, but in the environment I'm familiar with it would not be tolerated. They would replace the Mac device with a PC which doesn't have this issue because they would deem it unusable, even though it can technically still display images on a screen.

And despite your repeated comments on this article, it IS possible to configure a PC to not show any notifications for use in a live show, between a combination of changing OS settings, closing unneeded programs, and using the fullscreen APIs of the OS. This is something that can be done ahead of time and tested. I've written software that shows fullscreen on secondary displays on large projectors for presentation-like purposes and I have never had an OS notification pop up over the fullscreen software on a secondary display, even on other people's machines where they didn't take care to shut down programs and turn off notifications. Other commenters here seem to have similar experiences.
Can we consider being hacked as something like traffic accident or injury? People are trying to make systems more secure, but if we think of the small but inevitable probability of being hacked, can we build an insurance product around it? On the provider's perspective, it is not easy to verify the insuree is indeed hacked though.
> ...who proceed to drive the company into the ground. Has been the story of game studios since forever.

Has it?

Everyone loves to dunk on EA, Ubisoft, Sony, Blizzard-Activision, etc, for producing mountains of AAA shovelware[1], but the big players in the industry seem to undergo a pretty normal rate of growth, death, and merger for large companies.

It's entirely possible (Likely, even!) that under better management[2], they'd be more successful, but I wouldn't say that gaming firms are driven into the ground by managers any more frequently than they are in any other industry.

There's certainly a high rate of bankruptcy and death in small and medium-sized gaming companies, but I feel that has more to do with the incredibly speculative and inconsistent nature of cashflow, and the high cost of securing funding in the industry.

[1] Given that people have been dunking on these firms for that reason for the past decade, they sure are taking a long time to be driven into the ground...

[2] The bar for 'better management' is pretty damn low for some of the firms I've mentioned.
Ah, this is definitely possible as well; you could statically analyze the function and then topologically sort the recursive calls. But that falls into an optimization category which requires some sophisticated analysis.

That type of optimization is trivial for fib, but it's really difficult in general. Also, it only easily works where the recursive parameter that is changing is an int/index. You could also make it work with trees/graphs, but that requires some substructural analysis...
I think a big part also - new ideas often dont have info on how they fail- its all hype. However old ideas do, so if you can link them, its easier to use the new technology appropriately.
Very few entrepreneurs understand that sure, market matters, and sure product fit matters, however the variable of time is an interesting one. Most startups growth looks super slow, then ramps up, and then quickly ramps up. This is very similar graph to investing $$ with e.g. a X% annual return. The key similarity is the concept of compounding. Individual features, marketing campaigns, blog articles, monetization channels probably won't have an immediate impact, but over time can compound. Similarly, entrepreneurs often think that developing a feature will immediately cause users to sign up. In reality, all you've done is "invest" your money, but you need time to work it's compounding magix.
Pushing bills like this may lead to much of the country saying "vote anyone on the same side as these nutcases out of Washington". The Democrats may wind up with a purer party. They also may wind up with fewer seats. In other words, you may be right about their strategy, but it may not be a smart one...
Yeah, I am a developer, I believe I add value, but the question is about a pretty bold statement to other roles.
Congrats on the launch. Ive switched from webflow to flutter for the website Im building (for my startup project). Flutter is awesome (though I still "wonder what the result is gonna be" but way less than with css) and I believe youre betting on a great horse. I dont know if youve noticed but when you browse a flutter website with chrome on a desktop computer, it offers you to install the app natively! Like you said: super cross-platform. Initially I was using webflow because I dont understand a thing to css and I find the paradigm sux overall. But then as a consequence webflow isnt my taste as well. I was building my android app with flutter and I thought I should just do the website with it as well. Best of luck, I think youre a hot startup. Ps: maybe you should consider to market it for website as well, not only apps (sry if you do already). Im no expert to say it will be convincing for this end but Im never going back to html5 and its derivative frameworks lemme tell you that :)
America's most broken law... Does the author understand the role of states?
That is something entirely different. When I said active user input, it was a concrete reaction to a specific user action, like moving the mouse at the menu area. There is no such user action, which would be triggering a sound recording. This is about running applications in the background. According to the article, that would taint the full screen mode constantly and not transiently as the other actions. It is fully sufficently, if that happens on the primary screen.

@ikskuh since I see you here in the comments, I have one nitpick: I don't think it's fair to compare your binary format to an uncompressed SVG file since they are most often used online (and often used even offline) as gzip- or brotli-compressed resources. It would be nice to see an additional comparison between gzipped TinyVG and gzipped SVG to help even the playing field.
