It does happen to people. In 2004, I worked at the University of Chicago making web apps for internal users, and got paid $45,000 a year. In 2017, I was a senior software engineer at Google making around $300,000 a year (that's salary + bonus + stock).

This is probably an anomaly because I was massively underpaid at my first job, but you've got to start somewhere. (The first three years of my career was basically job hopping. I started at UofC, went to a part of Doubleclick in Chicago, then went to a bank. UofC -> Performics doubled my salary. Bank -> Google doubled my salary.)

As for job hopping, you can have whatever weird criteria you want, but the average engineering tenure these days is about a year, so if you want someone who has 20 years of experience you probably shouldn't be surprised by 20 jobs. If you don't want people to leave to get more money, give them a raise. Why should people take less than market compensation because of your odd idea that they should be "loyal"? People stopped being loyal to companies in approximately 1950. The market for software engineers is ridiculously competitive on the buy side. That's just the reality.
Nope. Cheap, outsourced labor has been available for decades. If what you’re saying was true, the shift would have already happened. The reality is that the vast majority of outsourced labor is significantly lower quality than the onshore talent. Mix that with poor communication and a ten hour time zone difference … it’s usually net negative.
Trashbin your ideology for a minute and zoom out to the big picture. You may as well complain that we have inland cities now. Productive things are always located things as far away from other productive things they need to interact with as the equilibrium between cost (time and money are fungible with each other here) of transportation and value of the interaction permits. The medieval farmer sold his surplus in the local market because it was the best deal after transportation costs. Fast forward a millennium and an industrial revolution and you get cars. Cars presented a massive drop in the time cost of traversing distance for individuals and allowed people to separate housing from working. The fact that some busybodies enshrined this in law in some places is incidental. The fundamental difference here is akin to how rails made it possible to raise animals for slaughter on marginal land far from ports. The car currently fills a similar role for the random commuter as the rail did for a rancher in Nowhereville Wyoming in 1873 and will likely continue to do so until something better comes along.

Trying to force people to live near where they work is a fools errand akin to forcing commodities production to happen near ports now that we have technology such that we don't need to do this. While there are certainly plenty of low hanging fruit to be picked (getting rid of zoning, investing in public transit infrastructure) but on a fundamental level the cat is not going back in the bag. Cities are just going to be ringed by some amount of sprawl because we have the technology to do that. You can play with regulatory policy to screw with the width of this band of sprawl but barring some black swan technological change it will always be there because there is always going to be some zone where that works. Things like self driving cars and a proliferation of electric bicycles widen that zone. Things like high energy prices contract that zone.

You're trying to fight civilization sized trends with public policy here. I'm not gonna say it won't work but on a longer than "until the next guy is in office and it's his problem" timeline the odds are long. Metaphorically speaking, you're looking at an early industrial workplace and saying "this is dangerous, these machines are gonna eat people and these carts of heavy stuff are gonna crush people, we shouldn't do this". That's not how things work. People are gonna come along and put guards on machines and invent traffic patterns to keep workers safe and life will go on. Stop focusing on miles driven or cars on the road and focus on the things that are the actual problems and figure out how to minimize those in a way that isn't a non-starter. Nobody in 1900 was going to shut down a factory that supports hundreds (or thousands) so a dozen people can be not dead and a several dozen can keep their appendages where they belong. Likewise society is not going to just accept the quality of life hit that would come with getting rid of sprawl for a benefit of similar order.
Very nice. Firefox needs this too.
Two quotes from my favorite go (board game) player that seem appropriate:

For writing without thinking:

> You have to soak up the fundamentals as you practice on your own, studying them until they become a part of your very being. If the fundamentals do not operate subconciously when you sit down to play, you have not mastered them yet.

For fast boring code:

> Go is the kind of game in which you are an expert if you can just keep on making ordinary moves. You need not play any especially brilliant moves at all. Amateurs' moves, however, are frequently far from ordinary; in fact, I see them making the most nonsensical moves imaginable[.]

Wider shots would require so much more CGI work.

Many movies these days are simply a formula that as a middle aged person I've seen so many times I just can't watch action or superhero movies, I have zero interest. I am not the target audience though. Even movies aimed at my demographic are laden with tropes, little interesting or creative storyline.

Long form TV is generally much more creative story based and does not reboot old TV so much (Bell Air is more of an exception than a rule).
I would have had a hard time recommending that someone start college during the pandemic given the option to defer for a year (or more). Of course, alternative activities weren't in a great place either.

I also have first-hand knowledge of a fair number of students who took some time off during the pandemic.
Sorry, I think you missed an important word there - how much do they make in the EU compared to US?
Looks like these are grossly underappreciated these days. They are wonderful, easy to use tools.
I think those are designed to avoid detection, so they (having near-unlimited budgets for these sorts of covert things) prefer to go with replacement firmwares and suchlike. They've been known to intercept packages of networking equipment and do all-software implants so that you can't even tell a device has been tampered by looking at it, and if they want to exit they can remove all traces that they were there. Leaving physical hardware in place is the opposite of that.

There are so many places to hide malicious code in any computer or networking system these days, using weird nonstandard obvious hardware like this is pretty amateur.
Ask HN: Is Bay Area in a tipping point for tech talent?
Some younger companies like Coinbase[2] and Stripe[1] are sharing numbers that they are not hiring much in the Bay Area anymore.

I am assuming that many positions that require the candidate to (eventually) relocate to the Bay Area are not getting a lot of traction. A fried of mine refused to interview for position like that despite being very junior! She decided the cost of living is not worth it.

What all of this means for the Bay Area talent pool and job market? Talent in the Bay Area are fetching astonishing pay ($600k for L6)[3] which I believe contributed to the out of the ordinary housing market in the Bay Area when you compare it to other cities in CA like San Diego and Los Angeles. I know many older talent have grown roots in the area. They have kids and friends which means they can't easily move. What if with this new wave of remote work acceptance, Bay Area pay won't match the expenses? Companies can hire everywhere in the U.S. for arguably the same talent quality. Some companies are even expanding to Mexico City[4] and other countries which might put even more pressure on Bay Area salaries.

Are we at an end of decades of continues growth and competition in the Bay Area? Will there be big pay adjustments?

You can buy complete wafers on ebay for a few bucks, so I'd guess it's pretty common.

I think many of the alignment steps during manufacturing involve making a wafer, seeing how misaligned it is using an electron microscope, adjusting all the machines, then making another wafer. Repeat until the wafers start working.
IMO just an example of what happens when a crutch is taken away. I’ve never read the books but you could tell the early seasons told a deeply thought out and plotted story. The show creators were great at adopting that work. But once they were left to do their own thing… turns out they couldn’t do that well at all.

Of course the books still aren’t done so if they waited we’d still not have anything to watch. IMO from what I’ve read about the books it sounds like they could have cut out less and made the early seasons last longer without it dragging too much.

I have the same problem with Angular that I have with Spring - nobody can actually articulate what problem these frameworks are trying to solve (other than the problem of there not being a framework?). They both feel like tons of overhead with zero actual functionality.

Thanks for the heads up. I want to create this as one of my mini-projects, and you help me with some future questions I might ask shortly.
I also watched an unhealthy amount of behind-the-scenes for lotr.

Peter Jackson mentioned that there is a thing called „Battle fatigue“. Battles should focus on the the main characters and their journey through a battle. Otherwise battle scenes could get boring or repetitive really quickly.

Also it‘s cheaper, as someone else said.
There is a response from a Mozilla security member at lobste.rs.

One of the problems with the standard model of the early universe is that whenever an observation -- e.g. mix of light-element isotopes, expansion rate, simulations -- produces a number different from its predictions, its prediction has been easily adjusted to match.

That's how the scientific method works. You come up with a hypothesis, you test it, you adjust it accordingly, and you re-test it. If you can't come up with tests for it, or if your measurements never match the hypothesis, you throw the hypothesis out. That's why string theory and MOND are getting crapped on in this thread.

"Let them cry it out" being neglect isn't a strong opinion, it's the literal definition. A lot of neglect and abuse has been socially normalized but that doesn't make it not that: thankfully corporeal punishment has been outlawed in most Western countries although many parents and educators still struggle understanding that punishment itself is ineffective.

That children who are subject to any given for of abuse or neglect don't "seem" harmed by it, doesn't make it harmless either. I think we've all heard people who hit their kids argue that "my dad hit me when I was a kid and it didn't do my any harm either" and don't accept that as a justification anymore.

I'm not saying people who do this (because they are taught to do it) are bad people. I'm saying what they are doing is bad and that there are training centers who sell neglect as "sleep training" (which can refer to other things) are bad.

I don't know why you think "do you even have kids" is a gotcha but yeah, I have kids, I also have nephews and I have friends who have children. Would you insist that someone isn't allowed to speak on whether it's okay to hit your wife if they aren't married, too? That someone telling you off for leaving your dog in the car on a hot day has no right to criticize you because they don't own a dog themselves?
For getting out of the "just follow instructions" rut and for the joy of exploration, I can't recommend Outer Wilds enough. Go in absolutely blind, don't look anything up if you can help it. You'll have to piece together the story from (sometimes pretty obtuse) clues, and you'll have to fly your ship through a quasi-realistic physics simulation. There's no real permanent failure states, and no real dead ends.

I'd be truly shocked if anyone here on this website didn't enjoy this game, if not love it.

I have absolutely no idea how that link relates. End to end encryption is good, "signing in with crypto wallet" means the author has no idea what they're talking about and are just throwing around buzzwords.
Now you're talking about branching strategies, not commits, which is a different and much larger topic :)

I keep it simple - branches are short-lived. I don't even like feature branches, I break features into a series of changes and push each change to `main`, incrementally delivering all the changes needed to make the feature useful while keeping `main` healthy.

I don't have official confirmation, but my experience is that at least the IntelliJ plugin version 100% seems to be using or remembering context from other parts of the project. It will know how to complete pieces of code in a brand new file, in ways that are very peculiar to my specific project.
Interesting article. It looks like the solution you came up with works well for your product which is the most important thing.

I see a lot of products these days using more of a hybrid approach. Some of the most basic buttons to get new users used to the product and discovering what it can do. Then adding in a CMD/CTRL + K search menu for when users reach a better understanding of the product and just need to get shit done.

There is a fine line between too basic and too advanced (depending on the audience for your product) and a challenging thing for most UXers is balancing new user onboarding against the power users of your product.

Christel Dahlskjaer, the former head of Freenode's staff who transferred her interest in Freenode Limited to Lee, resigned in March. Dahlskjaer, with the help of Richard “RichiH” Hartmann, took over Freenode after project originator Rob Levin (lilo) died in a traffic accident in 2006 and Levin’s brother tried to turn the project into business. She was an employee of PIA at the time of the Freenode Limited transaction.

What did Christel Dahlskjaer do next?

Has Google Analytics now adopted the latest European Commission approved SCCs (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/inte...) and does that mean using GA with those SCC's is now compliant going forwards. Or does this cases verdict that "SCCs and "TOMs" not enough" now mean those EC approved SCCs are now useless?

> If you mean, a choice by the team making the movie

thats art darling! exaggerated arm movements

I kid, but agree completely.

> not even about a genuine vision from the director, but rather following the fad.

I once heard about a monthly, where the exec producer's current shag was spit balling changes, expensive changes. It was great to see the faces of the VFX producer mentally totting up the cost.

Also when filming the prince of persia, the production team realised that they had a massive plot hole linking two parts of the movie, so they asked the VFX company to figure something out. From what I recall, this is the origin of this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfVu52tZxd0

In clash of the titans(remake), they spent a boat load of cash on a real set for mount olympus, but then decided that they wanted to make it more "google maps-y" so scrapped it and redid it in VFX.

Some films are Art, others less so. None of them are as artistic as film theory dictates.

So this kid claims to have found access to a certain number of Tesla owners’ logins? He specifically says it’s not a vulnerability in Tesla’s infrastructure.

I Spent 20 Years Covering Guantanamo
colleges have been expanding with zero constraints for 20+ years - demand for degrees increased significantly, enrollment went up and up, student loans being federally backed were given out to anyone for any amount so tuition naturally increased substantially. seemingly limitless growth opportunity?

now many are massively bloated organizations with declining utility and the need to maintain their perpetual growth - who wants to cut costs? the downward spiral is only going to accelerate, IMO. and that doesn't even account for declining birth rates. my feeling is the next 20 years will see the higher ed industry contract rather quickly and the universities that remain will deliver either on quality (increasingly difficult to hold an advantage) or accessibility (inexpensive, contemporary workforce training since employers no longer do that).
I completely agree with the sentiment but also feel like it is just my bias because I enjoy writing compilers.
In the past I would have agreed with you. Sadly there are "updates" which remove functionality.
Plus, as I found out, a $20k pay raise can equate to ~$8k extra in your pocket per year as the upper band tax rate is brutal here.
I also just finished migrating from AngularJS to Angular13. I have to say, it was very straightforward and not especially difficult. And going from a custom webpack setup to the angular CLI is pretty amazing.
I believe a significant part of enforcement is supposed to be a deterrent. If the U.K. fully enforced speed limits, the only people who would have not had their licenses revoked would be people like me who don’t drive or aren’t in the country any more.

It’s not clear to me that any particular analytics service needs to be run by an American firm, so the point about USA rules forcing actions on USA feels situational rather than permanent.

I think the biggest problem is, once the words are out of your mouth, you lose control of the message. If you look at something like christianity, you can see there's absolutely no practical way to stop people from taking a message in any and every way possible, no matter how clear it is. Usually, the worst offenders are those who are exceptionally convinced.
I think it's a catch all term for something result driven. They manage bugs, products, do sales and marketing, remove legal obstacles, UI/UX, events, PR. Often just identifying what's preventing further growth and calling for company resources into that direction.

Much of the sales on an app isn't marketing/sales at all - look at something like Fortnite. Part of it is community and UX, but the end goal is more money.
I've had to work with embedded devices in the past (develop an alternative firmware for $THING), and irgh I hated buildroot which was the original firmware's base. Way too much effort to compile stuff yourself... a simple "debootstrap" and installation of your private packages is way easier to get stuff up and running. And when you run into some package you need, you directly run "apt install" on the device itself, add the install command to the script that creates your firmware image and that's it.

The best thing is, whatever issues you run into will already have been solved a million times before by the wide Debian community and whatever remains can be solved by a quick hop into #debian on whatever IRC network they migrated to.
Well you admitted that you didn't assess your ability to make the statement. That you basically just spouted it off without thinking if you had the ability to say it truthfully: 'I haven’t judged my abilities.' So I agree, that isn't Dunning-Kruger on your part, just sloppy thinking. I withdraw the Dunning-Kruger statement based on your admission.

I think we have way more information about the government and these agencies when looking at our national history, than just looking at single event Waco. With much more information, we have higher ability to make a statement. This is precisely why I did not say BECAUSE of Waco.

But sure, Dunning-Kruger is merely observation of human trait, and not a sin at face. I think it's a lot more forgivable merely to actually over-estimate yourself after genuinely attempting to do so accurately. If I'm guilty of over-estimating my ability to think DoJ should investigate domestic terrorist organization that fired upon civilians at Waco, that can be your opinion.
More forgivable than straight up not even assessing if you have ability to truthfully assign ALL of blame for dozens of horrible deaths with members of 'cult', but making the accusation anyway, which you have so sloppily done.

If you aren't writing the damn manual, you aren't delivering an entire dimension of product to your user.

I sat down a little while ago to an old 80's handheld digital business organizer. The device itself was meh.

The manual tho! My God, I'd forgotten what it was like to read a primer on a product that had actually had some effort put into it. People think UX replaces training/SOP's/manuals, and it really doesn't. Your manual is how you mass produce user expertise. Your manual, at least by consumer's opinion is the difference between Yet Another Agile Heap Of Kludged API's and Business Processes and a truly coherent whole.

The problem with most Agile extremists though, is they never take Minimum viable documentation to heart. Or they completely externalize the cost of clear, complete communication to the User. If I had to put my finger on why, it would be because Engineering spends too much time writing and not enough time using their code outside of bench testing.

This isolates from the consequences of poor decisions; and prevents people from facing the One Great Problem of Humanity: Communication.
