Snowdrift – Crowdmatching for Public Goods
The current Ukrainian government arose from a bunch of clowns and jokers!
People have been bitching about LC interviews for 10 years. That's eons in tech, yet companies continue to use it. Maybe, because it works extremely well? Tech companies are taking it in more every year.
Also in the desktop world, Microsoft’s DirectStorage API was made exactly to alleviate those concerns, although marketed primarily for games.
Maybe monetizing it turns it into a job instead of the gift it was. Not everything has to be a transaction. If I volunteer my time or donate goods, it is a gift. I don't waste my time worrying about how my gift is monetized.
How do you like the steam link? I had issues with getting multiple PS4 controllers to connect over Bluetooth and there always seemed to be a bit of latency / artifacting despite being wired, but that was years ago when it launched and I don’t know if those issues have been addressed or if the device was refreshed
I think this is true at the highest levels, but my experience with Go has been anything but. I've matured both on and off the board through playing it.
> What's a pity is some browsers don't promote their native features, which leads most to be unaware of them

Too true. I've wondered for a while what the keyword field in a bookmark was for.

I also found out just the other day that I can add search engines to Firefox[1] if the site supports the OpenSearch API[2]. I didn't know they could be added this way, nor did I know about OpenSearch, if I hadn't have searched for an easier way to search a site I frequent then I would never have known.

Hard to enjoy the good in life where one accident can leave it in a mountain of debt forever.
20% seems very low to me. In the 2 FAANG's I've worked at, the RSU's ended up being 100+% of my salary (which was average for my level).
I like his decision as it feels like it keeps him unencumbered with worry. And of course the game is delightful in its light and simple state. He doesn’t owe me an unmonetized game, so were he to change his mind, I wouldn’t be upset. Anklebiter copycats are always going to profit off someone’s work. If someone does make a derivative, monetized game that surpasses Wordle, I don’t see how monetizing and defending Wordle in the App Store would have meaningfully delayed that. Games are an aggressive market.
> We all have to make the choice between prioritizing creature comforts and freedom.

Of course, this starts from the assumption that work is inherently an undesirable activity and that conversely, pleasurable activities are incompatible w/ work. IMHO, it's not necessarily black and white: it's certainly possible to find satisfaction/fulfillment in one's work (to the extent that some people even choose to work despite not having the financial need to). Personally, I try to find alignment between being a "productive member of society" and deriving happiness from my efforts (both in terms of my work output as well as material gain). I'm sure much more can be said about the drivers of motivation as it relates to finding the meaning of one's life, and the whole thing about life being about the journey, rather than the destination.

In terms of financial independence, I'd be wary of the word "freedom". It can be quite the loaded term, in the sense that one could equally argue that greatly restricting expenditure is "slavery to a run rate", whereas a steady income and a more lavish budget is "liberating". For someone like me who seeks well-roundedness, loaded terms irk me. Though to be clear, I'm not criticizing one lifestyle over another; both FIRE and career-ladder lifestyles are perfectly fine life choices IMHO.

Those externalities are minor compared to the massive utility we derive from being able to travel point to point at high speeds on our own schedule. In my opinion the reverse of what you say is true - it is fashionable for urbanists to claim these externalities are big when it is clear the time saved across the hundreds of millions who drive in the US alone is much larger in magnitude. The numbers you quote aren’t very meaningful without context. For example, 38000 road deaths doesn’t seem like much when you consider that there is only ~1 death for every 100 million vehicle miles traveled - and that number is going to keep falling as safety tech becomes more standardized. I also simply can’t take a claim like “city designs that are absolutely unlivable” seriously. Plenty of people live and thrive in car centric cities just fine, so this is clearly hyperbole.
No one who has an app on the App Store is getting free publicity. There's a $99 fee per year per developer. For that much money, if someone uses their app to drive people to their websites, so what? Don't you think it's hypocritical of Apple to use iTunes as a gateway to Apple Music and iCloud without paying Microsoft a cut?

It's one thing to say Apple has the right to do what it wants with its own platform, but it's another thing entirely to set up a straw man in order to justify those rights.
No problem! I know a lot of people love the PDF reader, it really is convenient, and I'm a big fan of avoiding adobe's reader whenever possible but after so many years of issues the file format is tainted to me. Too many exploitable features and having popular browsers include that functionality makes those readers an attractive target.

I don't think Mozilla has done a comparatively terrible job with it (they all end up with vulnerabilities, and it would take a lot to steal that crown from acrobat) but I do feel better downloading PDFs and using something a little less common to view them. I've bounced around between using Open/LibreOffice, Foxit (before they went bad), and even converting PDFs into saner formats prior to viewing, but these days I'm liking Sumatra for windows

I think you missed the Theranos joke. His point is that it doesn’t matter if the company is a C corp or some blockchain org, you can’t get your money back once it’s been spent by the company.
wrt. preemption - in Seastar we have maybe_yield(), which gives up the cpu, but only if the task quota (more or less a semantic equivalent for Tokio's budget) has passed. Wouldn't it make sense to have a similar capability in Tokio? Then, if somebody is not a big fan of the default preemption, they could run their tasks under tokio::task::unconstrained and only check the budget in very specific, explicitly chosen places - where they call maybe_yield(). That could of course also be open-coded by trying to implement maybe_yield on top of yield_now and some time measurements, but since the whole budgeting code is already there... Do you think it's feasible?

I'm not sure about alkaline cells, but NiMH and lithium cells have burst discs or some other type of pressure relief valve rather than just a hole. My assumption is that when alkaline cells leak they have over pressurized and blown the pressure relief valve.
Did they really just reference COVID-19 as a model for climate scientists to follow? Yet another “crazy” conspiracy theory that’s going to go mainstream.
Current Firefox also has keyword search for installed search engines-- this gives a UI similar to Chrome (where the keyword gets replaced by the search engine name after you hit space) as well as search suggestions for search engines that support it. You can change the keywords in Firefox preferences, under Search Shortcuts on the Search tab.

What's a little unclear about this feature is how you add new search engines to this list-- since there's more functionality here than old-style bookmark keywords, it's not just a matter of right-clicking in a search field or pasting in a URL with a placeholder in it. On supported sites, click the location bar-- at the bottom of the dropdown, you'll see a "This time, search with:" entry with icons for each of your installed search engines, and, if the site supports search, an additional icon with a green "+". Click that to add the search engine, then set your keyword of choice in Preferences.
I'd probably attempt to monetize it, but it looks like he might be generating more buzz by not doing so, which is an interesting strategy.

He's going to be competing with clones that will flood the app stores either way, and users aren't going to necessarily know which one is the original (a past drama about 2048 comes to mind), so it's going to be down to whoever does the most marketing and manages to get featured in the app store, which is a lot of work and stress, and may not be worth it in the end.

I guess he decided that the risk/reward is not worth it.
It's always going to vary depending on your location. Google Maps still has far richer business listings, Apple Maps is getting there in capital cities but still nowhere near as close as Google.

I'm in Australia, a recent example I had was I typed in the supermarket chain "Woolworths" into Apple Maps search, started navigating, before realising it was navigating me to a petrol station that once upon a time had a Woolworths shop attached. Apple Maps literally did not differentiate between supermarkets and petrol station shops.
Duracell. The Costco CEO mentioned it in some interview a few years ago and they tend to leak as well.
As someone that has tried to do it myself, and then hired a couple recruiters, that money is well justified.

Think of all the engineers that hate recruiters. A recruiter has to talk to those folks every day.
What?! Age discrimination in the software industry??? Say it isn’t so!!! Seriously though, your insight is astonishingly spot on: LeetCode is a perfectly legal means of practicing age/lifestyle discrimination. Yet another innovative Silicon Valley dark pattern. Why is this the first I’m hearing it characterized this way?
It’s a cool concept and nicely done but I’m not sure I see it as some kind of shining beacon of purity that must be protected from the dirty corruption of money. It’s a single-player word puzzle game, not a religious experience or scientific breakthrough or something.

He should monetize it, and donate the proceeds to a good charity if he really doesn’t need it and doesn’t think anyone in his immediate family or social circle needs help either.
While it presents txtai as a very neat framework for calculating and searching for embeddings the article doesn’t seem to mention anything about a database server, except for the drawing at top.

The code looks like it is doing an in-memory search.

When searching an embedding space, it is quite common to look for the closest angle of the query vector against amongst the search vectors.

That is a calculation I don’t know how to make a sql server perform and given the headline I thought the article would show a neat trick for doing this.
Internal recruiters are kind of a necessity, though: hiring managers often don't have skills in sourcing candidates, have calendars filled with other responsibilities, and are generally more expensive per hour than recruiters, for the kinds of work that either could do (screening, communicating with candidates about progress, organizing interviews, etc.).

In most cases that I've seen the internal recruiters have strong relationships with the hiring managers and are incentivized to make sure the hires actually succeed.
Not Korean, but Japanese.

Battle Royale had such an influence on PUBG up to the point that the devs made a special skin for the homage:

https://www.destructoid.com/pubg-is-getting-some-sweet-battl...

Also note that there were some other rarely mentioned games that contributed to the conception of the battle royale genre. The Hunger Games Minecraft mod was the first I’ve seen the concept actually materialized in a video game.
Should we really be advocating the OP quit their job in a company they are obviously happy with in general and probably have significant financial stake attached to before maybe suggesting a custom style sheet
The dude doesn't own the name Zooko just 'cause his parents named that, if he has a problem with it the dev can remove the part of the README that mentions it's named in honor of him. That doesn't mean this Zooko person (my first time hearing of him) can demand or should demand the name of the project change.

My 2 cents but you seem a bit too incredulous over it.

None of your points are untrue, but "engineers that are already fairly well compensated" is exactly who OP and the article are referring to:

> Read any publication that cares about business, from the NYT to the Wall Street Journal, and you’ll see a ton of hand wringing about The Quittening, and the accompanying talent shortage.

These publications aren't talking about the workforce in general, they're pseudo-gossip articles about the wealthy top engineers and how well-off they are that they can focus on things other than how much they put into savings each paycheck.
It's the only way to grow in my org, and why I'm leaving. As a feature team my best engineers are poached for the platform team and I have to rehire for them.

I live in silo hell. I've had to backfill hire 3 of my 4 engineers this year. Two of which went to platform teams.
I see it all the time in incident response summaries.
It’s happened to our own customers many times. Standard “enter a few numbers” MFA is easy. Phishers collect it just like they get passwords. It raises the bar slightly. Hardware based MFA is a different situation. So it has to be qualified. But normal people logging intoxicated their bank accounts don’t have hardware MFA tokens. Most security professionals don’t even use them everywhere.

We run phishing simulations and red teams dozens of times a year for F500 and high tech firms. MFA tokens are never what saves someone. Ever. We always get in. Often with phishing or smishing.

I talk with many other folks that do red teams and phishing engagements.it’s of course anecdotal, but it’s a rather large and high impact customer set across people I know and our own customers.

It will save some people some of the time. But not like people think.

If my own deep experience and what I have seen in the field doesn’t convince you, that’s fine. I’m just sharing what I know to help people understand.

It sounds like you'd consider the state of Florida being a lab to produce covid variants?

The wet market theory is also then a lab made one, since putting sick Bata and pangolins and whatever together can promote viruses jumping species.

Flu is mostly a lab made virus by this definition too. Put people close to chickens, and you help people catch new flu variants
i think the biggest learning from covid is that we cant prevent something like this from happening again.

Right now, his is ubiquitous because everyone has the same word. There's an odd network effect, where posting it on Twitter means something because everyone had the same exact puzzle. Nobody wants to see how you did on 6Word or whatever. It's a fun game, but it's not inherently fun (something like Scrabble already uses the same parts of your brain)... the fun comes from everyone having the same word every day.

He may not monetize it by selling it on the app store (honestly, who would buy? I think most people would just fizzle out rather than pay $1), but he'll definitely end up monetizing it in a unique way... the gigantic success of this will set him up for a huge number of opportunities (awesome job offers! promotions! raising money for a company! higher consulting rate!) that will last long after Wordle does.
There are entire genres like visual novels, kinetic novels, story games, and even many triple a games that lean heavily on story and visuals rather than gameplay. Gameplay is only a small part of a great many “games.” In terms of budget too, many studios have a couple gameplay programmers and a million artists and rendering / audio engineers

I don't think I disagree with you at all. I do not mean to downplay the harm done by organized crime, just to view the motivations of criminals from a materialist perspective. We can only pray that the CIA doesn't do to Lula what they did to Allende.
Why shouldn't it apply to software?

I mean it would be nice if it doesn't.

But as far as I know there is nothing explicitly excluding software from this laws.
Allow me to give a slightly different perspective. When engineers are consistently outperforming their wage, I immediately recognize that with an unsolicited pay increase to match their performance. This has always been met with appreciation, as it demonstrates both that outperformance is actively recognized and rewarded, and secondarily that management is looking out for the benefit of the employees. This has positive cultural impact.

This is more or less difficult depending on the company. In a few cases, I had to go to war with HR to get a deserving employee a raise who deserved it but hadn't asked for it. Other companies have processes that are highly amenable to it.

In many cases, if employees have to ask for more money when they've earned it then it is a management failure.
And those are the people you fire because they refuse to follow policy and actively work to circumvent best practices and quality gates.
Even without that restriction it's not that easy. It generally comes down to a choice between:

a) #include <vector> -- Lots of dependencies, but I know it works and I don't want to reinvent the wheel

b) #include <my_vector.h> -- Ok, I'm going to reinvent the wheel, but at least my wheel might have slightly fewer dependencies.

c) //#include <vector> // I'll just do without the wheel entirely
Exactly. All of this was true 10 years ago, but there wasn’t a labor shortage. Why? Because none of these reasons have anything to do with it.
> If I increase my take home pay, I can stay on the same savings rate as before and retire earlier (assuming that I don't want to make a certain percentage of my last pay during retirement and instead have a fixed goal for my retirement income).

That would be extremely unwise - if your savings rate hasn't changed then that means your lifestyle has inflated, and so your fixed retirement income will be a bigger step down and harder to sustain. This isn't just theoretical - people set a retirement goal when they're young thinking they can live like a student, gradually get accustomed to a more comfortable lifestyle, and then get a pretty sharp shock when they try to retire early and realise they're not actually willing to go back to living like that.

The only way increasing your take home pay lets you retire earlier is if you use it to increase your savings rate, by not letting your lifestyle inflate proportionately.

Good engineers can't get hired, at least judging by local selection among those who didn't have problems before.

This is literal - you can't hire engineers because you don't hire good ones. The process is more broken than before.

It's both hilarious and sad to hear complaints of employers. The non-hiring is on their side, there is little engineers can do if they aren't considered good - great experience notwithstanding.
> Forced to use Safari. Forced to offer Apple Single Sign On ...

I don't understand why you think Apple couldn't make those requirements? They already do for the apps on their own store, why couldn't the require it for apps on other stores? Apple can still control the signature process to allow apps to install on devices, they can just not sign anything they don't like.

(Putting aside whether those are reasonable constraints or not, I don't necessarily agree with them, but it's a separate matter).
