Ah, I left that out by mistake when editing.

You know what they want because they told you, up front, when they hired you.

In the example, let's say the customer has said they would find it really useful if the GPU could calculate twice as much on the same power, but they don't know how that could be done. Perhaps it's in a self-driving car and these are hard specifications. And then they crank up some agile "creative" process, encouraging devs including you to work on whatever areas of the system make sense to improve it. As long as you ship code PRs daily and a little report.

You talk to them about your idea, and they don't understand it. It's not convincing to them, but it is to you - and you're the expert on this. You are hired for your expertise and the customer doesn't have anyone else with it in the GPU algorithm design area. Your team peers are either busy or don't understand the area well enough. They can't recognise what will solve their stated problem, and you can't convince anyone that your method will work until you have reached the "proof" stage after 3 weeks of not producing any PRs, which is against what the customer or your managers incorrectly believe a competent developer would invariably produce almost daily.

I'm not saying you should do that as a dev. I'm saying it's an example of what "proof" refers to, while being something that gives a customer what they said they need, and is not a dev's pet project. Addressing the incorrect assumptions implied in "Proof to whom? Shouldn't you be developing things your customers need, not some pet project you enjoy working on for its own sake?"

There is no pet project, and you don't actually enjoy workng on it all that much. You're just trying to solve the customer's stated problem in an environment where they openly say what they'd really want and have set up a process which prevents it - a very common combination.
I don't see Apple coming out with a whole new device either. They don't have the kind of reputation in the gaming world that Microsoft or Sony has; going head-to-head with those guys now, with an unproven platform, would probably end in failure and damage any future attempts at inroads into the industry.

The other thing is that there would very likely be some awkward overlap between an Apple Console and an Apple TV, especially considering Apple's consistency in product design. Having two little black boxes on the market, both of which handle media and neither of which is a computer, would be confusing for consumers.

Which doesn't mean Apple isn't interested in gaming. I think they are, a lot. I'd say a more likely scenario is that Apple starts quietly—or not so quietly—beefing up its Apple TV line into something that ultimately turns into a console. Bolster their Metal API, ship an Apple TV with an M5 (or whatever they call 2025/6's version of Apple Silicon), line up some big-name titles that you can rent/buy/stream through the device, and I think they’d be a force to be reckoned with.
The people who make soapboxes get to decide, that's how capitalism works. You're not entitled to a soapbox just because you have something to say.

> You know what they want because they told you, up front, when they hired you.

This is, very often, a fatal mistake, and what they hired you to do is not what they need, nor what they want you to do in three weeks, let alone three days.
It depends on whether you want to play the game or break it. :D

Most people are taking this as a fun algorithmic exercise, assuming imperfect knowledge.
Personally, I think the appeal of Go has much more to do with the compiler and the tooling than the language.

The compiler is blazing fast and you get small fast statically linked executables by default. That's very appealing to me even though the language itself is a bit spartan.
Also because many people are willing to let their pets pass rather than pay over $10k for treatments. The same cannot be said for people.
There are plenty of places in the USA with loose zoning rules, the problem is not many want to live in those places for some reasons. Why are strong job markets correlated with stricter zoning rules?
> They have different priors and according to CDC a prior exposure to Covid yields better protection than vaccine alone, and vaccine in addition to prior exposure does not yield statistical significant reduction in hazard ratio.

I wouldn't read too much into that:

https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-science-heal...

> The new study’s findings do make sense, said Christine Petersen, a University of Iowa epidemiologist. She said a vaccine developed against an earlier form of the coronavirus is likely to become less and less effective against newer, mutated versions....

> Another thing to consider: The “staunchly unvaccinated” aren’t likely to get tested and the study only included lab-confirmed cases, Wherry said....

> CDC officials noted other limitations. The study was done before the omicron variant took over and before many Americans received booster doses, which have been shown to dramatically amplify protection by raising levels of virus-fighting antibodies. The analysis also did not include information on the severity of past infections, or address the risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19.
And tbh, our browsers today are remarkably secure compared to before. It used to be just common advice to never open weird emails or click weird links, not because they would try to trick you in to handing over info, but because it was realistic that simply clicking the link or opening the email would immediately rootkit your computer. These days unless you are a government most wanted or using a very old system, you are pretty safe.

We used to have school kids coming up with highly privileged attacks on systems to it becoming something the top minds spend months on and get paid 6 figures per discovery for.
and the system thats causes such unfairness isn't perpetuated / influenced by those with massive amounts of wealth more than everyone else?

That's a common rationalization for the moral judgment, but without evidence. "Recent studies have shown similar survival rates among individuals who undergo LT [liver transplant] for ALD [alcoholic liver disease] and those who undergo LT for other chronic causes of end-stage liver disease." [1]

This is wishful thinking. The demographics of the internet have changed so much that you will NEVER get that 'old' back. You may get an imitation or evolution of it, but it will never return in full.

The size of social media now is so gargantuan that almost every single member you get in an independent community will have been molded by it in some way, which is very different to how the webcultures of the day functioned.

My experience running a small community post social media explosion, is that most newcomers want to treat it like Twitter - Personal Edition. They want to engage in recreational outrage. They want to be obsessed with America-centered identity politics and put down other people for not joining 'their' side.

It's a far cry from the types of people I once met online. There is no sense of "The internet is not real life.", because, for so many of them, their internet handle is their real life identity, and any joke against it is a strike against their moral fabric and an attack on their very being.
Interestingly enough, I'm typing this in Singapore, where in 2022 it's quite common to have a "maid" (helper/domestic worker, in the current local lingo), but no car.

Singapore imports domestic workers for poor neighbouring countries like the Philippines and Myanmar, which keeps wages very low, on the order of US$450/month, not too far off Christie's inflation-adjusted US$220/month. Even the fully loaded cost with government levies, insurance, food & board etc is on the order of $1000/month, considerably cheaper than most other childcare options, particularly if like most Singaporeans both parents work longer hours.

By comparison, Singapore strictly limits the number of cars on the road, auctioning permits called "Certificates of Entitlement" to the highest bidder and imposing around 100% taxes on the cars themselves. As a result, a plain vanilla Toyota Corolla costs US$120,000 all in. What's more, half of that is the COE cost, which is valid for only 10 years, meaning the value of the car depreciates by around $10,000 every year. Add in petrol, servicing, parking etc, and having a live-in helper to run errands and drop off kids etc starts to look quite affordable in comparison.
Yes, this. The 6s came out in 2015 and is still supported. I used one until just a few months ago. Worked great.

I was visiting some temples in Bangkok recently and was amused to find there was no dual pricing; rather, there was an admission charge for foreigners and no charge for Thais.

(I don’t mind this system actually, but if I were paying taxes in Thailand and still had to pay foreigner entry fees everywhere it might bug me.)
Lesson:

The exact moment you get put on any such "plan", it is time to cut your losses and move on to someplace that might appreciate you better. Start interviewing immediately. Maybe claim some vacation time for it. Chances are you will get a raise out of it. Maybe a signing bonus.

Although they always claim that, after the "plan" is over, you will not be dinged for having been on it, that is just not true. (The only exception is when whoever put you on it gets fired.) So, forever after you will have this crap on your record. Nobody will care how fair it was. But, when you leave the company, it is completely left behind.

You cannot prove anything to an employer, and you don't owe them anything. There are a zillion other places that desperately need your skills. Finding and onboarding somebody to replace you will cost them most of your annual salary, so making things unpleasant and unfair for you is monumentally stupid of them. HR is absolutely not your friend; their main job is to protect the company from lawsuits, mainly by collecting dirt on anybody who could make things unpleasant.

Be sure to collect contact information from everybody you respect around you before you go. Nobody wants to continue working for a crap manager. Just because they haven't complained to you doesn't mean they like it any better than you do. They might even be on a "plan" themselves. You can get bonuses for recruiting them into your new place.

You can totally ignore any "non-compete" contract you might have signed when you started; just send them a note saying than now that you are not employed there anymore, you are terminating your participation in it. Unless they are still paying you, they have no standing to complain. (But do check with a lawyer on this.) You also have absolutely no obligation to participate in an "exit interview"; it is very rare that you can get any benefit from one. Complaining in one about your last manager can do no good; quitting says all they will be able to hear.

If you have documentation of violations of HR policies, you can sue them after you leave, for having driven you out. It will never go to court; they will settle, instead. Finally: Google is Big Evil; leaving Google is unalloyed Good.

Every mistake I have ever made in my career was not moving on when I should have.
If you believe facts and verifiable events (that are trivially cited from multiple, reliable news organizations) are absurd, but also don’t believe misinformation that causes those very events shouldn’t be deplatformed, how can your arguments carry any validity?

If your desire is to ignore the facts and instead yell into the void a position without substantiation (“no deplatforming! carry All The Speach Regardless of Content!), that sounds unlikely to persuade. I mean, you know they moderate this place too? Simply turn on “showdead” in your profile to see the deplatformed.
People aren't machines. Productivity in the workplace doesn't translate to productivity in life, but managers would like you to think so, and because jobs are directly tied to your livelihood (with medical insurance and money to pay for food and shelter), it's easy to buy into the premise that if "you suck at your job, it means you suck at life".

The author moved to a new city to start a new life and perspective, which was a personal choice to make themselves happy. That's great! But then small pressures began to happen:

> manager at the new job didn't work out

> power dynamics with the team lead forcing a 'special, one-time' transfer

> having to deal with a new manager due to a reorg

> OKRs that placed significant pressures to get optimistic deliveries, being on call with a secondary team

> Wanting to join the Google protest, and then being threatened by management with being fired for taking PTO to join the protest effort

> Raised concerns about manager's behavior with on-call stuff to HR, only for HR to sit everyone down and have the manager chide the author about the tone of voice, which is completely irrelevant.

> finding out later that the manager blocked the author's potential transfer to another team where the author could have been successful

> Low bonus and no stock refreshments due to only meeting expectations, with no hope of getting a better rating because manager hates the author

Going through all that, I can definitely emphasize with the author feeling down. All that artificial pressure for what? Everyone saying not to abandon job duties, or that the author took on too much... Isn't Agile supposed to solve that? You define units of work, then spread them out to sprints. And Google does do Agile, I looked it up. If we say it's because each manager does Agile different, well then we shouldn't be blaming the author, we should be blaming the manager for not assigning work properly. Yet the author feels responsible and overwhelmed, which is ridiculous.

All the mental and physical stress is directly sourced from the job itself, and needlessly too. Jobs don't have to be this way, but it is, and it's everywhere. And the worst part is, the end result was... nothing. The author tried to remedy the situation with HR, but ultimately was forced to change jobs, and the manager is still at Google bullying others. It's great that the author found their place at Meta, but how many others weren't so lucky? And, why do we, as engineers, even tolerate such a toxic environment in the first place? Everything listed above is toxic to the core, and can heavily affect mental health.

Jobs should enable you to live a life that you want to live, to experience the things you want to experience. Jobs shouldn't be able to bully you into thinking you're a worthless person because that's just your boss making you work harder to make the boss look better, and to make your employer richer at your expense. We should not tolerate bullies, we need to back each other up and help each other. It's the only way forward for any of us.
Can’t they just keep replacing it every ten years?
Based on my time with Arch, I’d agree. The fact is bugs exist even given N amount of time to find them, what matters is how quickly they are fixed - and it doesn’t get much faster than Arch.

Yeah none of those luster dust formulations should qualify as "non-toxic" in my book.

Copper and lead salts are not only acutely and chronically toxic to humans, they can be disastrous to aquatic life if they get into water ways. Cu powder gets a solid GHS09: dead fish. Suprisingly does not get the the Health Hazard GHS8. PbS gets GHS7/8/9, right proper toxic.

Maybe they mean it's not acutely toxic? Usually either short or long term toxicity is more than sufficient to call something "toxic".
Only for undifferentiated goods or commodities. Differentiated products can certainly command a premium to the cost of production. Those aren’t monopolies.
> Tokyo has dirt cheap rent compared to the states

You can rent small two and a half tatami sized apartments in Tokyo that wouldn’t even be legal to let in most of the west. Is that what they mean by reducing zoning rules?

Also, by basically mandating that all housing be rebuilt every 20-30 years, Tokyo effectively prevents speculation on residential real estate (housing depreciates as it gets older, negating land appreciation to some extent).

Just let me pick my own interests and then don't serve ads that insult those interests, like when I selected Atheism in my Facebook profile and then they advertised healing crystals to me.

It seems Google has the same problem: they can't understand that I know what I am interested in, and that is not "travel and transportation", but it might be reasonably priced used cars and that trip to Estonia.
Thanks for basing the ethical explanation so succinctly on the respect from life. Rarely do I find it put in such a clean and simple and accessible way. Connecting it to the ape-brain level urge for revenge is the icing on the cake.

From there I comfort myself with two thousand years it took a truly global institution to fully completely and no more strings attached reject capital punishment, the CCC, Catholic church law, closed the last loopholes allowing capital punishment only very recently.

We need to be patient with some nations to get there... Patient and persistent. As you were with your comment. Thanks again!
I don't think you have any basis for saying "was not a factor in deciding to buy the phone." Do you really think people buying the Pixel 3 knew it would only be supported for 3 years? Also, Google would not lose money if they supported the phone longer at a few pennies per phone. The Pixel phones (and others) are advertising and data delivery devices. Google makes money every time you use them.
>Most people think that expresses a true statement

Worth pointing out that truth is a pretty complicated word in this case. The statement is intuitively true in the sense that it is a command that ought to be followed, but it's not a factual truth statement in an empirical sense. Likewise often truth statements or commandments are reframed emotional stances, say "you should not look at porn!" expressing simply disapproval.

Lay ethics discussions conflate truth claims a lot so it's hard to draw any conclusions from it. Also there's a deep cultural aversion to argue that moral statements have no truth value, despite it being a common philosophical position.
Capitalism has nothing to do with it. Schooling in China is and was even more competitive, making competition in American schools look like child's play. This was the case even before China opened up and introduced market reforms in the 90s.

I agree that tightly coupled modules should live inside the same deployment, but:

>it's harder to keep everything aligned due to the extra separation (e.g. different code bases, multiple databases, no static validation of remote interfaces etc.)

It's solvable with appropriate tooling. I.e. you can store API definitions in a separate repository and make the services or CI/CD check API usage is valid at build time.

>tightly coordinated machine

What do you mean by that? For example, we have 10 teams all developing different features in parallel, with a tight release schedule. If there was tight coordination for every change, we'd degrade to a waterfall on the scale of the whole organization. Major API changes are discussed in advance during P/I planning; for minor changes, it's a matter of simply notifying other teams "hey, add this to your backlog, please" (we enforce backward compatibility for zero downtime anyway, so it's not urgent)

That's a factor, but given the kaleidoscope of ethnicity in most of SE Asia, it's nowhere near that straightforward. People can and do pick up on social class based on dress, the way you speak, the way you address others etc, just as they do in the US.

On the macro scale, this results in deflation, which the central bank attempts to cancel out by implementing interest rate cuts, which pulls money into stock market valuations and mortgages, so ultimately the beneficiary of CNC mills are real estate and stock owners.
Still, it's pretty much impossible to have a family (or provide for any other human being, e.g. sick relatives) on such an allowance alone. Marriage, and maybe even partnership, was often out of the question for two people who both held such jobs.

live in maid service has been tightly regulated by HK gov't for decades. There's minimum wage. Requirement for stipends. Proof of income and assets. etc. Workers are usually from southeast Asia from lower cost of living.

I lived in HK in the 80s and while we didn't have a maid, our 3BR apt had a separate maid room by the kitchen w/ own bathroom. It wasn't uncommon to see that.
You might try Red kale, strip out the stems and chop finely, mix with blood orange, blueberries, avocado and loads of nuts (I do chopped & toasted walnuts and pecans). Little olive oil, salt and vinegar? Mmmm!

Kale is awesome because it gives salad so much structure for all the nice tasty squishy bits!
