Apple is my vote. It's very easy to be a tech professional who uses a lot of tech in my free time and never rely on, interact with, or even think about Apple products beyond users that may be using them. Therefore, it's easy for me to imagine a world where Apple just doesn't exist, and not because some unknown competitor rises up. However, I don't think that is particularly likely.
Something else that has largely disappeared is that there used to be a fair amount of organization of content, whereas now a lot of content is just thrown into a big pile and the user is left to go fishing on their own with search engines, whose ability to search seems to be declining (ie: Google often seems to no longer support mandatory include/exclude search parameters). Generally speaking, the result seems to be decreasing order and increasing chaos.

Of course, the massive volume of content creates a fundamental problem, but user curation & categorization on sites like Youtube would be possible, were Google to provide the software support so people could do that. Whether this and similar decisions are deliberate or accidental is likely one of those things that we will never know.

Lots of previously believed claims fail to replicate. One of those is "stereotype threat", which was basically taken for granted for decades and also looks logically plausible.

Exactly, if it’s not enforced, people often neglect it. As projects grow, so do unnecessary dependencies.
It's not about talent, it's about clout. Not just anyone could show up and do this.
Yep, exactly. My terminal autocompletes to previous commands, so it's pretty easy to get to 'git commit --fixup HEAD', likewise for a rebase with --autosquash.
I feel like that's the only honest answer. Unfortunately this makes you totally dependent on the interviewer being magnanimous.
Midwestern GenX suburban parent here. Nothing important happens in our subdivision (hundreds of homes) without mention of it in the neighborhood's private Facebook group. Our public school district uses a Facebook page as a primary announcement platform. Kids' sports and social groups are all organized as Facebook groups and pages. You cannot escape Facebook if you're a suburban parent in the US.
D&I is definitely commonplace across the corporate world, and similar opposition is too. My brother and sister once worked at the same company for a while - my brother complained that everyone wanted to promote women and he was disadvantaged, while my sister got groped in a taxi by a colleague and was told by her male manager that if she wanted to get promoted she should make sure senior managers knew that she didn't want to have kids (not actually the case).
I'm sure no one in the chip industry died (or got sick). And no one in an industry that supplies chips. And no one in an industry that buys chips. And no one in a service industry that services the employees of the above industries.

/s.

Its global. Its everywhere. Every industry will have impact simply due to huge disruptions to everyone. Tons of people got died, and many more got sick, and subject to lockdowns, and saw their purchase patterns change (eg. toilet paper). Directly, the IC industry changed when people had to purchase laptops and monitors and webcams for their at-home employees. That is a huge surge in demand that was a 1-time thing, but all those office supply orders are still depressed, so anyone making things has to re-tool their factory.
Fair enough. My point is it's high effort for a roll of the dice. Having a general reputation as a nice place to work goes a long way in my willingness to interview as I feel more confidant that I won't land on one of the bad teams at the end.
I frequently use pronouns for people whose names I have no interest in knowing, so it's definitely an extension. I just think it's an onerous one.
My biggest question after looking at the readme: What happens if your computer crashes while dura is making a commit? Can it corrupt your local git repository?
From my own experience, git is not crash safe, i.e., it can leave the .git directory in an inconsistent state if the computer crashes during certain git operations.

I just shared my own experience, enthusiasm, and PoV. I wasn't in this for a fight (and I'm still not).

Of course, this being teh Internets tubes, we can't allow anything to be stated, without being weighed, valued, and judged (wanting, of course).

Don't like what I say? Ignore it. I do that, all the time. The world won't be a better place, because I want to pick a fight with someone. I try to make the world a better place, if possible. I definitely don't want to make it darker, and sincerely regret it, if I have. I won't get into a back-and-forth with someone that simply wants to use me as a foil for their own issues.

I sincerely try to be a force for good, in my Internet transactions. I am a reformed troll. I was a nasty troll, and I have a fair bit of atonement...

> replace a Bay Area engineer with an engineer from a substantially less expensive country

There’s no such thing as “hiring” someone overseas.

You have to either a) establish a legal presence in the country of the job taker or b) have them form a company and invoice you. Both come with different challenges (and advantages).
Discussed at the time:

Sugar (and hence alcohol fuel) is cheap and plentiful in Brazil. It competes with gasoline. So dual fuel vehicles are common.
I'm there with you. I belong to a food coop and purchase from small local farms all the time, but that's as an affluent tech professional where I'm under no illusions that the current state of this food community would be able to sustain the entire US population at its current rate of consumption. Things like producing millions of acres of corn to produce corn syrup and animal feed for fast food burgers are things that the "artisinal" food community sort of looks down upon, things like that would likely have to change if the farming system were de-industrialized and replaced with small independent farms.

It's an extraordinary claim that small family farms could feasibly replace industrial scale farming as a whole without changing things like that, so you'd need some extraordinary proof. While I can see how maybe you can show that a small farm is more productive per acre compared to an industrial farm, OK, now try to scale up that small farm, by either expanding it or adding many more such small farms, to produce the same amount of food as the industrial farms do. Then what happens?
hardcode some arbitrary "winners"

The point of google is to surface good content above bad content. If they can identify what good content is, surface it, by any means necessary.
Not the OP, but I'd cite the US Civil Rights Act of 1964, whose enforcement provisions would not be necessary in an idealized democratic society which has come to terms with diversity.

(Sadly, the consequences of the Roberts Court gutting the act demonstrate that those enforcement provisions are still very much needed today.)
You can't prioritize if you can't estimate
No argument on the fab side, but that's easy to outsource. Samsung, TSMC, and Global Foundries will happily make Intel chips.

Alder lake is a good example, from what I can tell it's a market leading core, generally faster than the AMD competition, and a good basis to make future products. Future Intel GPUs seem likely to compete on price/perf, at least when any GPU from the last 3 generations seems to sell out instantly.
Let's take the example of state healthcare. The Democratic Party talks a big game about universal healthcare at election time, but only ever proposes modest reforms (like the ACA) when it's time to craft policy. Meanwhile many (all?) European countries actually have some form of state-run or state-funded universal healthcare.

The Democrat Party is only "far left" if you believe their wildest election rhetoric and don't judge them on their actions. To call them authoritarian marxist is ridiculous when they fail time and time again to reign in corporate power and are financially beholden to that same power.
Yeah, but as a monologue.

The thing with ADHD folks is, we constantly seek stimulation/neuronal excitement, so if we manage to do anything, we somehow tricked our brain into enthusiasm, or hit another strong motivator like anxiety, or shame. And working out productivity "hacks" itself is usually some spin-off from a much more pressing task, or self-entertainment. Everything feels super important and like the best idea ever; enthusiasm is the only way.

So naturally, we tend to share tricks and "habits" before they have proven effective - they just felt really important... - as they have not been tested against the boredom of every day. And not everyone in that community is self-meta yet, sees the patterns and gets a bit wary in face of those "good ideas".

Honestly, I think everyone can learn something from ADHD behavior, as we're just the essence of executive dysfunction and impulsivity, the deconstruction of "motivation" (egosyntonic task scheduling) and actionable impulse (actually switching tasks), the deep end of a spectrum. Usually people can relate to our problems, they are just not problems in their lives as much.

Discrimination against Asians isn't “reverse racism” (to the extent that phrase is ever meaningful), in any sense, unless maybe it's in an environment where Asians historically hold disproportionate social power and have used it to systematically discriminate against non-Asians.

I’m not sure this idyllic West ever actually existed, or if it did, that it wasn’t inherently transient. (Genuinely not sure, not trying to make an unequivocal disagreement sound more palatable.) As in, the spirit of entrepreneurship and personal liberty did exist and wonderful things were built, but the most likely life for someone born in the advanced part of Western Europe or the US between say 1830 and 1930 seems to have been to slave away at a single factory for the entirety of your life, hardly ever encountering any money fit for general circulation, living in housing hardly worth the name amidst typhus and tuberculosis.

“Social democracy” seems to entail a creeping illiberalism, and I’m not sure what we admire was anything but a brief period after the start of the former but before the onset of the latter. Yet it also solved a real problem and, indeed, is the best currently-known solution to it.

Am I ever unhappy about that.

I know someone who just lost access to their Facebook account, and more because resetting their Google password lead to account lockout, and their phone number too, and that means everything that used that email and phone number as well. A cautionary tale and a terrifying reality to depend on a place famous for no human help available.
That's fine. Thank you for your perspective.
Max dem donor, historically very "left" as well. This is an issue on both sides in the extreme. On the right just look at what to outsiders are TINY doctrinal differences in things like faith issues - have historically driven major internal divisions.

I always thought the American left would really endure / have the advantage long term because of what seemed like a healthier exchange of ideas (free speech support etc).

That has changed it feels like a bit. If you don't support the cause de jour (abolish ice / defund the police / violence at protests) or other orthodoxy there really isn't a place for you.

And despite the talk of love and acceptance, the left really seems to be driven by hate and outrage now more than I remember plus a very healthy dose of hypocrisy. Ie, defund police, unless a poor person shoes up on my doorstep - then I'm calling!

AOC jetting off to florida in the midst of a massive surge in NY? The irony (she made fun of others jetting off during crisis, and florida is the anti-NY in terms of COVID approach). Newsome and his lobbyist dinner unmasked inside while ordering lockdowns? It's annoying to have such harsh rhetoric from leaders (ie, they promised to destroy any doctor who gave vaccine to anyone but the anointed few) but then relatively unprincipled action by them (they go out and party, dine, get vaccines for themselves).

I'm hoping the next generation has a good take on this.

Fanboy levels of bias except in the opposite direction. Sheesh.
It is quite right. Those are the main drivers and it's due to lack economic opportunities.

Hacking heavily originated in the US because the US practically built the entire modern tech universe from the ground up. The US was far out in front when it came to utilizing the Internet and the Web, so of course unethical people in the US pioneered various types of online crime, the US was the early adopter.

If you're an elite engineer in the US, you can make millions of dollars doing legal work for big tech. It helps in a big way to drain the labor pool as it pertains to criminal activity online. You generally can't do that today in the countries that dominate SEO spam, online scams, etc. In those countries elite engineers suffer terrible wages doing legal work compared to what they should be able to earn for their abilities; commonly they can earn a lot more doing illegal work instead, it's a very potent lure.

You're an elite engineer in Russia, top ~1%-3% globally. What do you do? Earn several thousand dollars per month doing legit software development in Russia (with either zero or little consequential equity compensation); flee Russia for a more affluent market; or do illegal work where the rewards can be dramatically greater. It would be difficult to resist if you were unable or unwilling to leave Russia.

That's weird, because I don't see it that way.

I look at Ingo, Dave Miller, Richard Henderson and Andrew Tridgell who are ~ my generation, all both better coders than I will ever be and really nice people to work with.

Then I look at young coders like Olaoluwa Osuntokun and Bastien Teinturier who are also great to work with and who I can only keep up with because I have years of experience, and it completely keeps my massive ego in check!
This resonates with me a lot. A few months back I upgraded my desktop's insides. New motherboard, CPU, graphics card, etc. That was the first time in about seven years I've gone looking for review for that sort of stuff.

I remember doing the exact same thing in the past and being overwhelmed with information. The detail and data in reviews would take a long time to collate and make sense of. But this time even the big name sites seem to be much shallower. Less models reviewed, less testing and benchmarking, more regurgitated press releases and other news.

Last time it took me a while to sort out all of the information, this time all my time was spent trying to find any that wasn't 100% fluff.
> Another option would be Qt which I used to write 20 years ago, but it seems very expensive.

on desktop, using it under LGPL is not really an issue, so you don't have to go for commercial (where I'd agree the value proposition isn't there very often sadly)
Yet those are the apartments that sell out.

In my city (London) that happens too. The ultra luxury flats are 50% unsold and have an occupancy rate that is lower still and they are STILL building more luxury housing with swimming pools and gyms nobody uses.

The Soviet Union wasnt this bad at allocating resources.

This is a free market that needs to be taken out and shot. It's culminated in the creation of assets, much like NFTs, whose existence is not predicated on them actually being used because all it needs to do is soak up capital, and actually useful economic activity had to be mandated into existence by local government (Ordinances to mandate % affordable housing).

The worst part isnt even that. The worst part is that if developers cheap out and sell you a flammable flat they can charge you $100k++ after you've bought the flat to fix the flammability that was a result of their shoddy construction.

And if you do die, it's not their problem.

This is the culmination of decades of the UK mindlessly nodding along to the 1%'s "market knows best" propaganda.

There's a reason the supposedly "free market" Singaporean government builds 90% of the housing stock in the country like they're fervent Stalinists. Coz that's the economically efficient way to house people.

Does anyone use it? I am thinking that people are so accustomed to immediate online gratification that waiting a day or three for a DVD in the mail is just not something a lot of people will do anymore. That means you are going to have to think ahead about what you want to watch, and plan a time to do it, rather than just flopping down on the couch and surfing to find whatever catches your eye.

And many people don't even have DVD players anymore. I don't.

Personally it would go to FB for me.

u/CyberRabbi is absolutely correct. It's true that for _some_ kinds of devices you could expect fast close(2) IF the device documents that. But as you can see, implementing this can be hard even for devices where you'd think close(2) has to be fast. Even a tmpfs might have trouble making close(2) fast due to concurrency issues.

The correct thing to do when you don't care about the result of close(2) is to call it in a worker thread. Ideally there would be async system calls for everything including closing open resources. Ideally there would be only async system calls except for a "wait for next event on this(these) handle(s)" system call.
Association is a better concept or industry group
> Yep, this. Exactly like the docs say, you could recover entire directories after an accidental reset, or just avoid having to ctrl+z in your file 40 times.

I've definitely wished IntelliJ's local history could work across multiple files a few times, it did let me recover from fuckups more than once but having to find and revert each file individually was not fun.
Good observation - I see the same. I also can't find a mention by their surname only (as might be expected, for, say, Dr Corcioveci) and "Institutul de Chimie".

Perhaps a good insight into how invisible the internet (or internet as the only / usual source) may make pre-internet individuals.
I've actually seen rich people go out of their way to get fent more than poor people. Once they know what it is, they appreciate the purity of the opioid. Additionally more and more MDMA sold actually isn't but is instead some analog that happens to pass reagent tests with unknown long term effects, which hits rich people as well.
Indeed - infrastructure being defined with a declarative model makes perfect sense. One need not use a DSL to achieve that though.
I honestly believe that bringing back the FCC fairness doctrine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_fairness_doctrine) would help alleviate some of the divisiveness in America. Being presented both sides of an argument really helps people empathize and come to compromises. It also makes people less angry.
