This is a tale as old as time: The Incumbents in the early 90s were challenged by newer culture, they sneered. Smart people went to work for the newer culture and industries and refused to conform to wearing suits and playing corporate house.

Many of the tech firms that are bleeding out have become everything they fought against. The MBA-isation of big tech is so jarring when you land in the valley coming in from Florida, Colorado or many a foreign country where the rules of engagement and speech are still "normal" ie, casual, ie, ideas win respect not rank, ie there are perspectives outside of what the headlines in techmeme alone speak to.

If you work at a large tech firm today, you will see this play out every 6 months in the promotion discussions that have essentially dissolved into political horse trading and are the single most important events to anyone not directly involved in very very senior roles (Where you speak to investors or are involved in company-level change)

This is so strange to live through as a mid/mid-senior level VP, Manager, Lead what have you. Here you are, apparently at the pinnacle of your achievement, having beaten thousands of intelligent people in competitive exams and studied at the most prestigious institutions only to . . . spend a significant portion of your promotion cycle trying to play the Game of Thrones with a bunch of MBAs ?

Compensation is not a significant differentiator anymore as it has been in the past, infact, one may argue, for the top 10-15% of the company that handles the most crucial products, quitting and starting up would easily get them overnight valuations orders of magnitude returns over their expected 20 year earnings were they to continue climbing the corp ladder (Nuvia, anyone?)

So, in short, the environment externally has changed. The environment internally has absorbed a lot of the lifers and MBAs from "Successful" incumbents to the point where the internal culture reflects everything that was wrong with those guys that these firms "Disrupted" and there's plenty of money to go around.

The kids apparently had a blast. I don't recall the age ranges.

I think the only criticism was along the lines of "Well, that's great for the kids. But the poor parents! What in earth were they thinking?!" not realizing that the parents got a different kind of break in addition to doing something wonderful for the children who all got to spend like eight whole weeks at a lake house instead of just two and got to do it with lots of built-in friends to play with, rather than being lonely on an adult vacation away from their friends.

It's hilarious reading these anonymous hiring managers discussing how they'd hypothetically snub people like Rob Pike, Ken Thompson, Andrew Morton, James Gosling or John Carmack for lack of morals and values.
I kind of feel they'd rather people feel pressured to need a Mac with Airdrop or an iCloud subscription to get photos/videos off in timely manner

No.

Anyone who’s worked closely with Apple knows this isn’t how Apple operates.

If you separate out some of the literary flourishes, the article tells you how Apple ended up in this situation.

Besides, using a Mac and AirDrop with or without iCloud doesn’t solve the fundamental issue of getting tens or hundreds of gigabytes of video off a iPhone 13 efficiently.

We see this all the time that different parts of the company are on different schedules. The $329 entry level iPad has some features the mainstream $599 iPad Air doesn’t have, like Center Stage. That will get corrected this spring but it certainly caused some head scratching during the holiday shopping season.

Apple knows they need to solve this for pro users and it’s kind of embarrassing—hence the tone of the article—they haven’t yet.

> they all had in common was how "stiff" their typing posture was, and the strength at which they hit the keys.

Yeah! Its what I want to be researched. I play piano and guitar, and to do it successfully I had spent a lot of time learning to not apply more force than needed. Somtimes it needs to change a posture. I learned piano being a kid under a supervision of a teacher, so probably I don't remember the most of my learning troubles. But I learned guitar at my late teens and I remember clearly how I was corrected by a teacher, then corrected again and again. I oftentimes needed a break because of pain in muscles.

And I wonder might it be that in the most cases RSI is the consequences of the wrong posture or too much force applied. If it so, I suppose, switching layouts would help because of breaking a muscle memory and learning it anew, not because the new layout is better. The very RSI could influence learning: pain is a good teacher, it forces student to seek for painless ways to do things.

FWIW we used to make rice on the stove for years and it was fine, but then we got an Instant Pot and it's even better--makes rice that was comparable to what we'd get with the stove, plus all the other stuff you can use it for. So personally I'd encourage you to consider a "smart" pressure cooker with a rice setting rather than a dedicated rice maker.

There is a canonical workaround - cast operands to unsigned integer, do the operation, cast it back to signed integer. Overflow during casting to signed is implementation-defined behavior instead of UB.
That’s basically making the best with what shitty technology there was back then. It’s not nearly as good as air conditioning or else people would just build houses the same way.

Essentially the entire Phoenix valley is unlivable in the summer without energy assisted cooling either with A/C or evap. The native Americans didn’t even live down low during the summer. You can’t beat physics with some well placed windows.

The “deep south” you referred to is about as easy of a climate you can get to live in the continental US without energy assistance apart from maybe Southern California. The air conditioning energy spent to cool down a home 15 degrees in the summer in Mississippi is a drop in the bucket compared to what it takes to heat New York or Minneapolis homes in the dead of winter.

I don't think the printed money induced food or fertilizer demand. It's not like laptops or dumbbells. The article calls out higher input prices due to energy and mineral costs. The pandemic didn't induce energy demand (it did cause it to yoyo), and the mineral costs are due, in part, to sanctions (the 2, 3, and 4th producers are Russia, Belarus, and China). Non-fertilizer uses are only 15% of demand, so this really wasn't driven by monetary policy inducing demand.
> The unvaccinated get admitted to the ICU at staggering rates compared to the vaccinated.

Without breaking that down by age group, we are no better informed. Emotive words like "staggering" without mentioning the data, is unhelpful.

It's common knowledge that elderly and unhealthy/vulnerable represent most ICU beds. I think it was Italy or Greece who have mandated the jab for over 60's. This sounds like an expert has formulated a policy that matches the challenge: that the 60+ age group are filling the hospital beds. If only more countries could formulate measured, level-headed responses to match the reality of the pandemic.

It's not commonly known whether younger unvaccinated people who end up in ICU, are there because they're unvaccinated vs existing health condition. That comes down to individual hospitals and doctors reporting efforts. What we hear in media reports is a broad mashing of data, reduced down to an oversimplified message that unvaccinated people are filling the hospitals. When in fact, it's more likely that unvaccinated people from a specific age and health status group, are filling hospital beds.

That’s not an argument against dedicating existing cropland to human food production. The GP isn’t talking about pasture and rangeland. Just the huge amount of cropland used to grow feed for animal ag. And while we’re at it, let’s reform the ~40M acres [0] cropland used for grazing back to growing human feed. Then we can take the 127M acres of crops used to grow animal feed [1] and also dedicate that to human feed. All while reducing the animal populations and helping with the overgrazing happening on ~50% of range and pasture [2]. And to pre-empt the argument that food animals are fed the byproducts of human-consumption crops, go back to [1]. But yes feel free to feed them the byproducts… it’s just not going to be very much of their calories.

>Local producers are great, but they're outnumbered ten thousand to one by local consumers. How the world would be any better if some of the world's poorest were forced by their governments to pay extra money to buy inferior clothes, while some small-time politically-connected tycoon profited from it?

Employees of local producers are great too, the theory I always hear is that people getting paid in an area stimulate more economic activity. So I mean you should take that idea apart more as it is pretty much established wisdom.

That said how do you know the products would be inferior? Cheap Asian imports are generally of poor quality, it seems strange that the locally made clothes would not be at least equal to that but actually inferior! Donated clothes that westerners have worn are probably going to be inferior since after all they were worn and were probably cheap Asian imports to begin with.

Short answer, yes, long answer, it depends.

A lot of camera capabilities hinge on the physical size of the sensor, i.e. how much power it consumes to shoot and how much heat it generates. An iPhone camera sensor is tiny and so can do pretty amazing things like shoot 1080p 240fps slow-motion. Trying to do that with a 4/3" sensor is more demanding. I need slow-motion for my work.

>"The scrambling is easy to see once you know it's happening: press k and l simultaneously on your Thinkpad keyboard. It'll always come out "lk" unless you deliberately separate them."

Is there an easy way to fix this? This is a noticeable nuisance in Emacs, when chord strings get "debounced" out of order (i.e. things like C-xC-m -> C-mC-x are quite annoying). The debounce precision is slower than fast human typing. Even though keypress event order is correct and noticeably correct, it gets rounded to "simultaneous", and then reordered (backwards) according to the logic you've described.
Yeah, certainly not trying to bash lawyers. I'm a billable consultant myself. I don't think our lawyers were trying to do anything wrong.

This was the process. Exchange information, Negotiate, if negotiation fails - meet w judge for pre-trial opinion (what they would rule with current information). If still contested, Discovery building up to Trial.

If they were milking us, they'd be pushing for the trial, cause the discovery is the real billable hours killer.

But, I had to take the responsibility when it looks like the negotiation is going badly - let's get this in front of the judge NOW. Discovery/trial legal bills would have wiped out most of our assets at the time.

I think of "Servant Leadership" as a buzzword. Useful for "nice" managers who conceal their authority behind a veneer of IC empowerment.

I've worked with two self-described "servant leaders" who claimed to give their engineers independence and then later smashed the same engineers at the first sign of defiance. I've also worked for a manager who embodied the supposed ideal of a "servant leader", who mentored me, watched out for me, and sacrificed for me. Yet he never even for a moment called himself a "servant leader", nor did anyone else call him a "servant leader" or use a lazy, feel-good on him.

I think the buzzword persists because we all want managers who cannot hurt us, belittle us, or fire us. But a positive illusion is a poor substitute for knowledge about power dynamics.
Without downloading and trying it out myself, I'm skeptical of the claim that Corel Painter doesn't mix colors correctly; this is one of their main selling points. I suspect they just left it in RGB mode instead of switching to CYMK mode. Can anyone confirm?
That limitation seems to just be a marketing thing - a few more searches reveal they do not actually check what registrar you use.
What if you write code that doesn't wrap but you don't want the exception or any kind of check either?

That's the whole point of UB. Let the compiler optimize by assuming your integers are in range. I get that it doesn't matter in a language like C#/Java (they are so slow additional checks don't register) but in C throwing has costs and code that wraps would require additional logic on some platforms.

One way or another if you want C to "throw" (trap) you can get that by using compiler flags.

almost forgotten, but how different it would be if they were intelligent.

Talk about an amazing coincidence:

"On March 10, 1945, one of the last paper balloons descended in the vicinity of the Manhattan Project's production facility at the Hanford Site. This balloon caused a short circuit in the power lines supplying electricity for the nuclear reactor cooling pumps, but backup safety devices restored power almost immediately."
Babies can tell who's closely related from whether they share saliva
Oh absolutely! The psychological safety benefits of having a stable home, the ability to "be a kid" with emotional support from parents instead of having to grow up way too soon and serve as their emotional support, the luxury of not always feeling like you're waiting for "the other shoe to drop" when things are going well, having fond memories of holidays instead of anxiety-inducing split days where you feel guilty for not spending them evenly between households. Not to mention all of the logistical nightmares (never time to spend with friends because you're in transit or the parent wants to have "their" time with the kids, different rules in different households, schoolwork getting mixed up/dropped between cracks, clothing, etc.).

Even for married parents that have struggles and disagreements, the fact that they stay together serves as a rock-solid signal to a child that the family as a whole is important and that ultimately the parents care about the child even more than they care about themselves.

Except in cases of physical violence, I believe it's always better for the children if the parents stay together. And it's not close.

Also, while I'm certainly jealous of people raised in married households, I don't blame them in the slightest for not having much of a sense of how the other half lives. The only way to know is to live through it, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
