I remember listening to the DVD commentary on one of the LOTR films many years ago. One of the things that struck me was the amount of "Oh, and we changed this in post production." Obviously there are limits but CGI, color correction, etc. must lead to a degree of not worrying too much about getting it right in the camera because you can (sorta) fix things later.
FWIW in latest Chrome if extension wants access to all websites, you can toggle it to be "click to enable", or only whitelist a few websites authorized to run it. Go to extension page -> choose extension and modify where it can run.

Unlike the Hebrew Bible, which came centuries after Enuma Elish and other inherited traditions (that are universally acknowledged by biblical and historical critics!), the Gospels were written merely 30 years after Jesus preached. This means that the traditions in the narratives of Jesus's life are the same traditions that Jesus himself was part of. Your criteria is thus completely backwards. That Jesus is attributed with apocalyptic sayings can only serve to prove his historical existence by the historical critical criteria of "social coherence," because Jesus lived in a time where the apocalyptic tradition was at its peak.

> Hang on, don't blame the agile manifesto here.

I totally can, and will. It's on them if they popularized slogans that can be too-easily misunderstood. That's meant that agile, in several respects, has been an exercise of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

> Blame the management that adopted the agile manifesto as "do all the exact same things we used to do that didn't work, but call it 'agile'".

That's clearly not what my employer did.
Not only that but their parents and grandparents were and still are encouraged to live spendthrift lifestyles so younger generation will inherit less.

I recently made a similar observation: Write shitty!

Background: I am writing a novel. In the beginning I sat down and obsessed with every little detail, spending multiple days figuring out the perfect formulation and text flow. And then I would maybe change a little thing in the story-line and have to start over again. This really sucked the whole fun out of the writing process.

Then I changed my approach: I just write whatever comes to my mind, independent of whatever I just wrote before. Doesn't matter if the previous scene had character A as sidekick, if I like character B more, then I simply switch them. Some scene is way over the top and doesn't make sense? Doesn't matter, I write it. Writing is fun again. I sit down, get into deep-work-mode and just write. No constraints, no thinking.

Granted, this is only draft #0 and I will probably have a rude awakening when I have to merge all my writings for the next iteration of drafs drafts, but so far I am rolling!
Vim. Emacs. VS Code. Log4J. Java. Python. iOS. Android OS. Firefox. Chromium. Safari. There’s quite the precedent for free in the software development sphere.
I worked on AngularJS and moved to Angular ever since 2+. It is a great platform and actually similar to Vue in some respects. No reason to abandon Angular although Vue and others are also good.

I remember reading somewhere (but I can't remember where): "My job is not my job, my job is to find a better job"
That is not true… only sea view apartments and houses do have incredibly high prices… otherwise you can find an apartment of 100m2 for prices ranging from 200k euros to 500k. Many homes with garden in the area range from 450k to a million (depending on the location). If as a couple the household income is 100k or more a year it is not difficult at all to get a mortgage. In France is very hard to get fired… there is a much higher job security… and since we have universal healthcare we don’t even risk to not be able to pay due to a medical emergency! For a bank is less risky to lend you money! Life here is good!
The 80% number comes from the Dark Energy Survey (https://astronomynow.com/2017/08/05/survey-reveals-most-accu...):

DES scientists used two methods to measure dark matter. First, they created maps of galaxy positions as tracers, and second, they precisely measured the shapes of 26 million galaxies to directly map the patterns of dark matter over billions of light-years, using a technique called gravitational lensing.

To make these ultraprecise measurements, the DES team developed new ways to detect the tiny lensing distortions of galaxy images, an effect not even visible to the eye, enabling revolutionary advances in understanding these cosmic signals. In the process, they created the largest guide to spotting dark matter in the cosmos ever drawn (see image). The new dark matter map is 10 times the size of the one DES released in 2015 and will eventually be three times larger than it is now.

There's more info here:

https://news.fnal.gov/2021/05/dark-energy-survey-releases-mo...

And here:

https://www.darkenergysurvey.org/

Dust accounting for the missing 80% of matter and made out of normal matter would be visible in these surveys. It would block, reflect, or emit light. But it isn't visible despite bending light around it—and that's the dictionary definition of dark matter.
I should be more specific.

The RED Epics used on the Hobbit (they used other REDs later on, but I can't remember what they were) were running at 48FPS. The set had to be painted in hilarious day glow colours for it to be picked up properly. Part of is was the 3d, a lot of it was the cameras. REDs were not very good for a long time. Sure had huge resolution, but that was literally it.

They were/are expensive. ".r3d" was a proper cock to deal with (Hurrah for cheap GPUs!) and the fan base utterly toxic.
Copilot writes far better API doc comments than most human programmers.
I've seen this kind of position in a lot of startups/tech companies ("Growth Manager", whatever that means). To me, it sounds like a product marketing position.
I used to read a lot of books when learning about computer science topics. I'm sure i've read the Camel book at least 4 times over several years. A well written book like that can really do much more than just provide a reference.

A lot of documentation these days is mostly references that you look up when you need the nitty gritty details and the bigger picture is not documented as well.
why would you be bitter since they just improved the platform. It wasn't hard to learn the migration and AngularJS needed to be let go. Angular is every bit as good as other alternatives.
Seems so. It made Firefox crashloop as well.
True. The second point was also intended to highlight that the “1% have been terminated or left due to vaccine mandates” comment in the GP may not tell the whole picture. If people are on unpaid administrative leave, they’ve effectively been fired while not showing up in that statistic.
> In 30 years, do we really expect to be programming in some machine-human intermediate language? I hope that we'll be having an open ended conversation with the machines to iterate our intent, with working software at most stages along the way.

This is actually entirely feasible, although perhaps not open-ended conversation. Instead it could be that you feed the machine training data which describes how to solve a particular task, and the output is a program that solves that task. So we would all end up being ML engineers.

Scary I know...
What's the outcome of doing this, do you just eventually end up with weird and/or no recommendations?
pydoc -b

Now that I have an offline browsable version of the Python docs, this is super easy. I'd use the built in HTTP server that they don't recommend you use for production (since we're living in a village). From there, building a CRUD app is pretty straight forward. Python has SQLite built in as well.

This is probably related to teenagers enrolling in college not only for an education but also for the amenities that come with college life (think of greek life, moving away from parents, college sports, freedom to explore your identity, etc.) The pandemic has put a stop on most of all non-academic stuff, making enrolling in college less appealing to this group of students.

It will be interesting to see a follow-up analysis that parses out enrollment behavior by subgroup (e.g., by SAT/ACT score) as it will be easier to understand who is choosing not to enroll in college.

Another follow-up could be to see which institutions are losing students. It is known that college enrollment is counter-cyclical to the economy and that enrollment declines at community colleges and open access universities when people can get a job right out of high school.

It was a bit of a combination. We tried using pre built images but managing them got out of hand pretty quickly and there was no easy way to diff images so whoever did it had to be careful.

Then we settled on pre built images with just the across team shared code. But that got difficult too, as some teams didn't want to upgrade as quickly as others on the shared code base, so we were maintaining several versions of that.

The teams themselves had regular image consolidations saved, plus file outs and some PVCS for those, but it got increasingly harder to make a consistent merged image no matter what and devs were spinning their wheels in a kind of code merge hell at the method level that is unique to smalltalk.

Then we got envy and it fixed everything.

ParcPlace did eventually come up with a different structure for packaging and sharing code but it was too late and too simplistic to be useful.
Decades before that I used to be able to tell whether a show was on NBC, ABC, or CBS by the brightness and color balance. Now everything is murky because the networks don't really have their signature looks anymore and there are so many of them.
Yes, but 4 years vest is standard, and new hire grants are significantly larger than refresher grants, so with stock appreciation the way it's been over the last decade years 3 and 4 have tended to be very lucrative for RSU-holding tech employees.
> I don't believe it is lack of money.

We are definitely in a IT bubble. It is DEFINITELY about the money.

We have dunkin donuts and plenty other places saying you can make "Up to $20/hr - including tips (but in 1/4 the font size)".

Or person is paid $20/hr for the work of 2 humans, and the management says to do these roles too without extra compensation.

Or you negotiate for 40h/week average, and management expects 50-60h/week. Or benefits are slashed. Or you get your 3% "raise" which is 1/2 inflation.

> The best advice I can give is to enjoy your work and don't get hung up on a $$ track as your measure of success.

Really? Ive heard management saying this kind of garbage before. I have better advice: get paid closer to your surplus value's worth. And then when you HAVE capital, you can decide how you want to live your life.

And there really is no stability in our system, no matter how pretty things are. We employees/workers have low to no representation in companies. We don't see how the C-suite does stuff, and it's too late when they do.

(All of this is primarily US focused, since we take caveat emptor to living and working and everything. It's sickening, but we have to play in this sham system until we can subvert it.)

>Why do you suppose China hasn’t already prevailed?

Peaceful reunification still priority, except one remark that force is always an option by Xi a few years ago, there hasn't been any PRC/Xi departure from this position in 8 years of his tenure. Notion that PRC wants to invade TW in near/medium timelines is manufactured propaganda.

But in terms of actual military capability: taking TW is simple but deterring US is hard.

Even ardent "porcupine" advocates from US think tank / blobs have concluded by now no amount of asymmetric porcupining will meaningfully deter PRC but is only useful to buy time for US response. SO PRC focus is to (and has been since modernization started) mitigate US response, while simultaneously making defeating TW simpler. Note simpler does not mean easy, merely all the force balance calculations of PRC taking unsupported TW has been forgone for years by PRC planners. Now US planners in last few years as well. The TLDR is PLA reforms/modernization is aiming to challenge US military hegemony, it's going after the big fish because everything smaller will be manageable by then.

And there's likely no involvement especially by SK, Vietnam (or rest of ASEAN). Likely not even Japan or Australia, US most ardent allies who has so far done nothing but theatre that doesn't credibly move posture towards supporting TW defense.
Our company saw the writing on the wall several years ago and completely ditched AngularJs and moved to React. It was wildly successful - after the whole project was rewritten there was dramatically less code, even though we added tests and new features along the way.

https://www.singlewire.com/blog/development/react-migration

Just doing it piece-by-piece was a really good strategy, instead of a stop-the-world rewrite.
I admit I quickly searched my company directory to see if you work where I do :)

The article mentions 3 things engineers care about: Technology, Intellection and Stability. Perhaps your pain fits into the 3rd category (if extrapolate a little).

If so, ironically, the first 2 at scale is what causes the lack of the 3rd.

When you make wider roads, the traffic will get worse, not better. Perhaps it's similar technology organizations. It's almost inevitable.

Anecdotally Amazon figured this stuff out by mandating well defined organizational boundaries (kind of like solid white dividers on some section of the highway, eh?) and by making each team responsible for its own developer infrastructure. It seems wasteful at first, but maybe less so at scale. Maybe someone working there can confirm/deny whether this is the case.

Ask HN: How do you organize a data science team process?
Working in R&D can sometimes be a pain in the a*, especially when designing a process that would fit the whole team. I've heard about and have worked on projects where there were no daily meetings, no discussion about technology across the team, and it was kind of free-form till the due date. Enforcing rules on data scientists often backfires with their productivity too.

How do you tackle such a problem in strictly research & development areas?
US colleges have many students from foreign countries on visas. I wonder what the impact of the pandemic is on that segment of the student population.

This isn't likely to hit community colleges, which the article touches on. Just trying to point out that digging deeper might show some interesting details.
"It's very frightening,"

No, it isn't. A tight labor market which provides more opportunities for on-the-job training is positive for everybody except those who made their money selling fake tickets.

To add to that since public institutions are failed or failing you keep having to buy your way out of get stuck.

2-3 Cars to buy out of failing public transport

Private school to make up for failing schools or at least a house in a rich school district enclave

Private senior caretaker because there are no good adult homes for any price

Gated community for failed policing

Etc etc and you get stuck in this cycle of having to buy your way out of society’s problems that’s really hard to stop but also hard to maintain if you loose your job.

2020/21 has had quite a few movies that ended with the hero dying or negatively impacted. They follow the “hero’s journey trope” and then subvert. I guess they match the pandemic mood. I’m not sure if I was just made more aware of this due to COVID, or there really just has been a glut of them.

The two most recent off the top of my head:

> But such a feature could also be used to create a fake 169.254.169.254 (AWS/Cloud metadata IP address endpoint) and serve requests from it.

Wouldn’t such a thing be impossible if the application is using end-to-end encrypted requests to AWS?
Probably any that:

- has resources for supporting a project like this
- doesn't have any connection to the ad industry and therefore don't care for backpressure from it
- views ads as a security risk and a vector for attacks (in addition to other questionable content) on their corporate devices

But you have a point about AdBlock Plus, which sort of sold out, if memory doesn't fail me. They had a good run, but nowadays i just use uBlock Origins.
These are handwavey dismissals based on unfounded assumptions.

You can’t simply compare place a to place b because there are no two places that differ in just that one aspect.

You can’t just conclude lockdowns have no downsides because an unquantified ‘very few’ places had ‘lengthy restrictions on seeking medical care’. If you state that you assume that is the only reason which simply is an unfounded assumption.

A very simple basic fact is that if you lock down sports facilities, which happened in a lot of places, people will get less fit and thus more susceptible to COVID with a bigger chance of dying. I don’t think there is anyone who would deny that. But if you lump all excess mortality together, the resulting deaths will be an argument for more lockdowns.
> because a browser extension bypasses any browser security one may have, and has access to one's entire computer.

This isn't true. They don't have any access outside of the browser with that extension. Further, the list of sites that they've asked for permissions to seems vaguely reasonable. I have not actually looked at the extension code to see what they're doing, but they have only asked for permissions to the following:

Catalyze.com domains

twitter.com

arxiv.com

scholar.google.com

google.com

And unfortunately the extension security model isn't all that granular, so "Read and change your data" really just means they wanted to touch the DOM somewhere on those sites. They could be recording data, but it's more likely they wanted to add a button/link somewhere.
I feel like by the time you’re in your 40s, you should be able to leverage your network to bypass the technical interview. What are you doing at 40 going through the same hiring funnel as 18 year olds with no discernible reputation or experience? Maybe if you’re doing a career switch, sure, but if you’ve got 15-20 years under your belt then that’s a different story.
Which is why I specifically said laptops, where workloads tend to be of the kind that benefits from efficiency. You're right that there are many workloads that they are not perfect for.

A lot of them do, but don’t underestimate the number of people who are role-playing as being more wealthy than they are.

I’m not talking about people with successful business exits or those who have been in high-paying careers for a few decades who have a side business. It’s the people pleading with you to pay $10/month for their side Substack or trying to charge for mediocre podcasts and such. One of the oldest tricks in the content marketing book is to pretend to be very wealthy and then charge others for access to your knowledge.
