True, but there is an upper bound to the amount of exposure one can receive before they are simply a STEM major, rather than another major with more STEM exposure.

Hm, that's surprising to me. It's historically been that you have to enable Steam Play for a specific title to switch that one title over to using the Windows version via Proton. Possibly that changed so the global setting does it as well, but it would surprise me.
If that's considered abrasive, we've really lost out on actual communication for the sake of bullshit etiquette.
>the joke being, of course, that it's ludicrous to think anyone ever tried to teach English to the greatest English writer of all time

I didn't take that as the joke. Not much is known about Shakespeare's childhood but if you look at someone like Mozart he was coached by family from an early age. By seven if he had had a music class at school he probably would have been way better by the teacher. If I was to bet on it I'd guess Shakespeare was taught English way before seven.
That's another topic, but that's kind of my point: Valve weren't doing anything akin to kernel-level shenanigans, and even without that, some of the stuff they did already backfired because of privacy concerns.

Since then, they've focused on other avenues to combat cheating (e.g. Overwatch, a replay reviewing system involving the community, or VACnet, a ML model that they trained to recognize in-game behaviours linked to cheating).
It's not regularly updated, but I absolutely love anything @munificentbob writes at https://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/
> To me anti-work is the recognition that forced wage labor is not acceptable, and that technological advancement and automation should enable greater freedom for individuals to spend their time how they choose. We could already have this reality today if we just implemented a universal basic income, but until the boomers retire from office that's just not happening.

It's not acceptable, but it is necessary. People always point to increasing automation and productivity, but they gloss over the fact that those aren't uniform. Most of the economy is only more productive because of other parts of the economy. A trucker today is only more productive because the stuff in their truck is more valuable, not because anything has changed about the job. We need just as many truckers, if not more, now that their 'productivity' us up.

There are tons of jobs no one wants to do, but everyone needs done. What keeps wages in check for those jobs is that 1) they are low skilled and 2) people have to work, so the segment of people that have been unable to make themselves valuable in other ways trickle down into those functions. It's a harsh and shitty reality, but, until we have a big population of people laying around that love scrubbing shit off walls and drowning baby chickens, this is where we're at.

It's wild to me that people don't see this. Literally every utopian uprising has been followed by an immediate famine.

All that being said, uniform supplemental income isn't necessarily bad, but there is definitely a threshold where the harms out-weight the benefits, even for those it is intended to help.
Something like this, though I haven't touched this in a while

I had this debate with a friend a year ago, and when we dug into the literature, it was certainly rather mixed.
Japan had an advantage: their cities got completely demolished.

Railways are OLD. Cities got built around them that's how old they are. And our esteemed ancestors didn't plan 100 years ahead to a future where the population had trebled.
You think you can double the tracks in Amsterdam? You'd have to either start tearing down 10s of thousands of buildings or dig tunnels. Very long tunnels.

The pandemic spending wasn’t entirely consistent with M.M.T principles, they say — it wasn’t assessed carefully for its inflationary effects as it was being drawn up, because it was crisis policy. But the situation has underlined how hard it is to know just where the economy’s constraints lay, and how difficult it is to fix things once you run into them.

> .. carefully assessed for its inflationary effects ..

Ah, yeah, so spending might indeed have inflationary effects, sometimes.

> ... how hard it is to know just where the economy’s constraints lay, and how difficult it is to fix things once you run into them.

Hm, how about we stick to more basic principles such as "more money usually means inflation" whenever we're dealing with an admittedly complex system where it's difficult if not impossible to predict the exact outcome?

Like when you're blasting a mysterious black box with unknown contents using a blow torch ... the box might in mysterious ways temporarily keep its temperature more or less constant or even lower it, due to unknown complicated mechanisms inside ... but on a more general level the principles of thermodynamics would lead one to expect tadah, yes .. the temperature to increase.
Thanks. RLE is a hit-and-a-miss (101010101010 etc); top-k is heuristic-based. Those are viable solutions, nevertheless (esp, top-k). Puny Code, which DNS uses, I thought was pretty neat for fitting in a state-machine in printable characters. Takes a bunch of CPU resources to restore it, though.

I was wondering if there are other techniques that I may not be aware of.

What's a 'maximum base' pay? Is that the max salary someone with the right credentials could earn in an entry level position?

Shopify dev here.

One thing I didn't see mentioned much of this was discussed with their lead? Shopify is very open to people moving around to find challenging work. And Shopify as an org has done a great job (from my vantage point) creating a culture where people give and receive feedback. So hopefully their lead would be open to that convo.

I will also say though that some of what the author says rings true. Shopify gets you excited about the product problem, and less on the tech stack (is front end). The job becomes “how do I solve X for merchants” not “where can I find a cool React problem”. Sometimes solving X just requires Ruby work. And sometimes you’re excited to help merchants do X and care less about the tech it takes to do X.

The downside to this decision is there’s somewhat of a bias towards being generalists over tech stack specialists. Not completely but it’s there.

I personally have found lots of growth at Shopify. It maximizes mission, career growth and work life balance really aggressively. Shopify, honestly isn’t the place to maximize comp. It is a fun place to do great work and feeling like you’re having an impact.
Amazon recruiting is a disaster. I’m used to receiving a reach out once or twice a year, but late last year I had at least four recruiters reaching out, three simultaneously. I think one even attempted to automate the process because I received two separate emails from him along with follow ups on each in a matter of four hours, and my replies never got through as they were completely ignored as he continued to follow up (on both original emails) several times over the next week.

It's comical though - the reason the pay is so high is because the housing prices are so high. The housing prices are so high because the pay is so high. It's a never ending cycle.
It's a real response. And yea, memes only on weekends did actually improve the board.
Well, of course we have the opposite too.

Ok, fair, I've altered the wording. I may have reflexively lumped you in with the kind of Linux Evangelist who likes to claim that "Linux is good enough for everyone" and actively dismisses any use case that contradicts that.
Brin and Page plausibly could have needed to do so since they were grad students when they founded Google.. Bezos was a SVP at a hedge fund before starting Amazon. Slightly different circumstances. Made a good marketing / "culture" shibboleth though.
I can't really judge that, I mean, I've worked for Microsoft but not the government. Just that...the "work-life balance" thing wasn't anywhere near the stereotype when I was school in the 90s (but I did not work for them then either).
So far I've been able to follow them. If you `raise` an exception during one of the functions that's used in a compose the traceback will mention the function that failed (I'm looking in 3.9 at the moment).
> What is your SLA for an expressive bid? I'm guessing it its less than 1ms?

The optimization procedure (which includes bid evaluation) is ~30ms. We cycle bound (under a formal model of computation via function application and graph reduction) computation of bidders to ensure that everyone shares an identical and deterministic resource cap.

> Do you use a database of some sort?

Not as part of the real-time trading system, which operates as a CP fail-stop distributed system model checked for safety and liveness by TLA+ and system tested by Jepsen.

> How do you to handle settlement?

Regular way (T+2 settlement with a 3rd party clearing BD)

> How do you handle ingest?

We use a constellation of GPS synchronized Stratum 1 clocks and proprietary network timestamping software + hardware to ensure that we process orders entered by the auction call time regardless of what physical host we receive the order on. We do the same for market data broadcast from other trading venues across data centers and geographies. We stream both market data and orders to a central point for processing. Every node in our distributed system that processes orders or “away venue” market data broadcasts a “Gateway Call Announcement (GCA)” message at auction call time to downstream compute nodes that run the auction. Auction solver nodes get to work after receiving GCA messages from the hosts they expect to hear from.
My point about "Make America Great Again" is anyone can be like "I don't get it what does it mean though?" which happened a lot from liberals and left for this slogan specifically. Conservatives get the benefit of being easily aligned around their leaders and values, so sure "Make America Great Again" works really well in that context where everyone wants pretty much the same thing.

"Defund the Police" had a specific meaning which was to actually defund the police but, as with any actual implementation, when you get to the specifics people have a lot of different views and opinions. I don't think you combat that by making a better slogan, I think you just deal with it. The handwringing over what "Defund the Police" means was a huge distraction IMO and mostly bad actors who disagreed with the premise fundamentally and weren't looking for real ways to implement policies.

> If it makes sense to demand a lot of accountability at a high standard from teachers (and teacher unions), then the very same demands should be put on police (and police unions). Use the same exact messaging.

Okay, what's the exact, unquestionable slogan you would use here? Good luck.
Great write up.

The point about internet content being written by a 1% in particular is very easy to lose sight of. Somehow public debate on the internet naturally leads to some assumed sense of its representative and “democratic” for lack of better words
You say that as if it's easy to do.
Those group definitions don't seem all that well defined to me either. I would self identify as an infrequent movie goer (which I'm assuming contains the majority of movie goers).

The delta variant was confirmed in North America in April. So if you're an infrequent movie goer who goes to the theater once a year, and didn't go to the theaters during May of 2021, you don't fit in to any of those categories. That's going to skew the results and make it seem like a lot of people are likely lost, which I suppose could be true but I'm still looking forward to going back to the theaters anyway.
Thanks. Obviously I'm not a direct user of your technology and so maybe this is not intended for me but if you could translate your "A" and "B" into a hard, real-life example that I could understand I would be empowered to be an advocate for you. Best of luck to you.
Representation is really at the heart of it. What the article left out was that Doreen was asked by mods and by the community(by poll) not to participate in the interview. She did it anyway.

The broader social epistemic question of "what makes someone a representative?" or "How do people gain the social status: representative?" is the most interesting part of this. Reddit itself plays a role in the construction of representative status by visually framing mods in the sidebar under the subreddit rules section leading people to mentally label both as the rules and rule-makers of the space. There are examples of mods in other subreddits also being representatives, making it natural to apply that syllogistically and generally to all Reddit communities.

If a mod created the sub, and actively participates, but is disavowed as a representative, are they still a representative? Would this have changed if the interview had gone well? How does representation work when communities disagree? Antiwork members don't see Doreen as a representative, but individuals outside of antiwork do. Does that make her a representative or not? It's fascinating that what is obvious to one person is a tremendous number of questions to another.
i have a different understanding. the book teaches a design process that starts of by understanding the problem you are trying to solve, then working out the specification of your program, followed by implementation, followed by introducing tests, followed by code analysis and review in order make correct abstractions to build a general modular code-base that can be used across different applications. i am not sure about your experience, but as far as i know this is a very up-to-date approach in software engineering. for reference here is the chapter on GPS [0], which by the way is the first non-introductory chapter! i think you should work more through the book before holding strong opinions about it

Obviously Apple is positioning itself here for a negotiation with regulators, in a way that leaves as much options open for them as possible. They aren’t going to grovel and then ask if they’ve been groveling enough, they take strong positions they do have arguments for and then they negotiate.

Most people wouldn’t expect Sony to be forced to allow free access to the PlayStation platform. There really isn’t that big a case for Apple to be forced to allow free access to iOS.
On the flipside, there's nothing stopping a manager from diving into knowing their subordinates and assessing their mood and figuring how to make them happier if they happen to be unhappy.

In my previous role, I had two managers: one who made it a point to ask me how I was doing and if there was something he could do and another who never had a one-on-one with me until I handed over my code when I left the company.
Okay so then the stated objection that I quoted is technically incorrectly, but the spirit is the same. This is not a well-engineered plane and it requires the MCAS to fly it, and without the electronic band-aid the flight envelope would never have been acceptable.

So it might not exactly be a fighter jet but its outside of the bounds of passenger airlines.

You could go live in a concentration camp and get forced experimental treatments, philosophically and metaphorically speaking. Respectfully.

I suggest everyone listen to the darkhorse podcast with Weinstein, Malone, and Kirsch. Kirsch did more than just invent the laser mouse.
Unfortunately, this is also my take. I would also note that ERB hacking is still front end work. I also note that startups don't really have the kind of fixed & linear work paths that more mature companies have.

I'm kinda bummed for the guy, it sounds like he really needs an industry mentor to talk things over with to help manage reality expectations.

By interviewing and getting offers.

You might get useful data from HN too, but not without saying what country you're in - central Europe is too vague. Not to pick on you too much, but why on earth would you exclude that from the original post?
One thing I liked when I was there, which was wow, 15 years ago, now... everyone[1] got their own closed-door office. It was a lot more like academia or how I might envision a Japanese corporation.

> That PPC640DD was a fascinating device, far cleverer than people remember

Indeed. Its built-in modem was my gate to the world, once I figured out which wires to connect to the phone system (it came with a british jack, utterly unknown in my country back then).

The screen was quite flimsy though - its hinges failed quite early and I had to keep it propped with some objects in the back.

And it ate batteries like crazy, but on the other hand it ran on batteries when needed! This was in 1987-88, so quite cool. I remember a journalist having a cigarette lighter socket welded on a car battery terminals, and able to work for some time with it, I wonder if I can find the original article online.
Is that Jeff Bezos in the audience at 14:59, laughing at the joke about a man speaking his mind in the woods?
If it's $30k per year, that's not very far off from the median salary in the US. So I think many people would be a fairly pleasant life, particularly for a couple making $60k. I think the dynamics of who would work or not changes considerably from your example of food stamps and homeless shelters (unless substantial inflation happens, which I think would be likely in that scenario).
It is not up to me at all.
My Amazon offer from last year was one of my highest ($500K first year TC for senior SWE in Seattle). Amazon has trouble retaining talent but I doubt compensation is the real cause (at least for recent hires).
Yes, but the context was also with that person as a current student, which was not in CS, and his CS background didn't have much bearing on what he discovered. It would have been just as relevant to say "Father of two debunked..."

A better title would have been "New Student in APS debunks core finding in the field."
What a blast from the past. I remember the finicky IR tower for uploading programs.

I failed abysmally at programming my Mindstorms robot. I could never figure out how to make two things happen at the same time, so I couldn't make both motors run at once. As a result, my treaded robot could only spin in circles.

Sadly, that was pretty much the end of my experience with Mindstorms. Eventually, I gave up and put it away, because it was such a frustrating experience.

I assume it would be easier for kids these days. It was a lot more difficult to find help on the internet in 1999.
Cruelty that's pointless (as they saw it). The Romans had little issue with crucifying dissidents, torturing slaves, executing the innocent fellow comrades of deserting soldiers, and beating their children into compliance. But they saw such cruelty as useful, serving a higher purpose (social order and discipline, mostly).

If you want an analogy, today, most people have no problem farming animals to raise them for meat. There's a lot of cruelty inherent in the process, but we do try to take steps to reduce it. And if you outright enjoy the wails of pain from the cow as you beat it needlessly on the way to the slaughterhouse, there's something wrong with you. Just as to the Romans, beating your slaves and sometimes making an example might be necessary, but a slaveowner who took a little too much pleasure in it was morally suspect. It's telling that Roman histories are full of allegations of the capricious torture and rape of slaves by prominent figures. While some of these accusations are probably true, they are generally of a slanderous nature intended to tarnish the reputation of the accused.
Oh, I agree, there is no excitement at the idea of more ignorant users but excitement that there was a giant blowback - instead of devices, end user computing augmenting technical experience, it instead did the opposite.

It is not a benefit, but just the realization curve that the more you make things easy, it can appear to be a step forward but instead become many steps back.

The whole reason I entered into this field, was because I could not get my computer to work, or that I didn't understand it - probably both, and it drove me to overcome those barriers. I was of course a kid, and the computer itself has entertained me and gave me decision paths that I would've never known possible without it.

It really is sad, those experiences seem gone to the sands of time and if a device doesn't work properly, then it's not per se the customer or audience, but an user experience flaw.
Makes sense to me. Identity is strengthened in opposition. People double-down when feelings are hot. I think part of the success of marijuana and gay marriage's rapid change in opinion is people were exposed to it through media (e.g. tv shows) but weren't forced to make some decision about where they stand on the issue during that time
