AFAIK they copied no code. Just everything else.
That's the glass half-full. If that works for you, then I'm happy that at least one of us has found a solution that works reliably.

The glass half-empty is...

I'd be much happier if I actually had an information device that I wore on my wrist that gave me all the data I need to manage T1D at a glance without igniting arguably the worst alert fatigue ever seen in healthcare when I have a smartphone, a pump, a CGM, and a watch which all go off in a discordant concert with one another with no clue that the other is alerting or any mechanism for stopping the noise save for turning off the device. In short, my wish is that the companies making these devices would give more care to the _design_ of the ecosystem around them, not just their individual device. I know, this is an emergent problem, but one that I've dealt with nightly at 3 AM when the devices go awry, not my diabetes, which is actually quite stable. The vast majority of my disease control and management issues arise from technology. Like insulin, it's the exogenous nature of the device that indicates there will be side effects, whether we design for them and manage them, or not. Unfortunately, patients pay with their user experience, all day, every day. There is no greater use case for the design of a killer app for the smart watch, i.e. wrist-worn information device, because I don't actually care what time it is. Rather, I'd be happy if the device actually made BG and related information the primary data currency of the device, not time. Time is actually secondary to the primacy of BG in this particular use case. I wear two watches to account for the fact that I need BG at a glance and the sensors for tracking exercise and metabolic impact. I've not seen a single device or interface that gives me what I want on one device at a glance without a byzantine UI.

I had experience in different US tech companies, as well as some European (all remote, European ones in "large" European countries).

In my experience, it depends completely on the company and the context. I worked hard (even weekends) for US companies where later in the year I barely worked (although I had to be online on Slack). So, take the step, it will be a great experience :)
I think RBI governor did not consider many scenarios, he says "ban is unlikely to be effective is a superficial argument", i believe banning would be ineffective because that will at any rate see a flight of untraceable capital to safer havens. Those who have made impressive gains wont sit there hoping to get crashed and burnt. If the government is after taxes they have to legalize it, if they are after power to arbitrarily exercise monetary easing well tough luck technology trumps bad actors and arbitrary systems.
I'm using on personal computer since '96. Professionally since 2000. I had a "Windows only break" for few months.
My career path was 10 years in journalism, during which I was also programming as part of my responsibilities, and now 11 years in full-time software development.

Under Daily's levels system, I'd have 11 years of "direct" experience and 5 years of "indirect" experience, for a total of 16 years of experience, putting me in their highest band (Level 7) with a salary of $270K.

But as I've told every employer who's hired me since leaving journalism, and particularly as I've transitioned from an IC to a manager, those years of experience in journalism were invaluable. I learned how to ask the right questions; how to handle the stress of always being on deadline; how to be a generalist, quickly learning enough about a subject that you can clearly explain it to others; how to communicate effectively in general; and many other skills that are absolutely relevant today.

Obviously, it wouldn't matter for this banding whether those years are treated as "indirect" or "direct" experience -- I'd be in Level 7 either way -- but I could see it matter for others.

Full disclosure: I applied to Daily last year but they ended up filling the position with an internal candidate.
I'm really curious why LLVM can't figure out that a[i:j] and a[j:k] are disjoint without help. Is something about the use of Range making it opaque?
I've gotten lit up by dang a few times - and I usually disagree with his criticism, though in retrospect he's probably correct - but I've always been impressed with his dedication to this site. It takes a lot for someone to be a moderator, especially with the amount of text coming through this site. I've often wondered if was actually an AI that gained sentience yet doesn't realize that he's an AI.

I mean in the sense that people assume they are doing hard stuff compared to your run-of-the-mill Java EE/.net companies servicing "boring" computing needs of industries like insurance/banking/logistics/etc (which outside of silicon valley is where most - or at least a lot of - software jobs are at).
Sometimes there are tools that we have to use if we want to stay at current job, so it is nice when they actually update themselves into modern times, switching job everytime there is something we dislike isn't a viable long term career path.

The discussion was about Raptor and Starship, but you're right that the falcon heavy has some similarities in having to synchronize 27 engines. Regardless, the rest of my comment was the more interesting part.
I used them once as there was no one else who’d give us a rapid test in time. Have emailed their support. Curious to see the answer.

Barrister would be the heavy option, but complaints to the ICO and health authorities also an option.

A lot of these look like cases of sales of smaller startups (which is fine). The process he describes is almost identical with Enterprise sales, down to the role of the “coach” in the customer’s (acquirer’s) company.

Which makes sense, but framing it that way from the start will make it easier to navigate.

One of the worst hypos that I have had (Fingerprick said 1.9mmol/l which is about 34 mg/dl) was a 'Lantus low' which is not really an overdose.

I am developer working for a very large 'non-tech' company; 100% WFH (even before covid because I don't live near any of the offices).

I only get 3 weeks of vacation a year - and usually have a hard time even using that; honestly if I had 5 weeks of vacation don't know what I would do with it - especially since covid has made it very undesirable to travel, so we will see once restrictions are lifted.

No one keeps track of my hours, but I easily do 60-70 hours a week, and where I work that is what gets you more money and/or promotions (Not the # of hours per per se, but the pace at which you get things done) - plenty of folks just 'coast along', but everyone knows who those people are, and they are the first fired when the budget gets cut.

Your work hours might be pegged to local time, so consider that your actual hours may end up being longer / later as a consequence.

If you're a directly-responsible individual (DRI) / team lead / manager, your hours (and compensation) should go up. Don't accept anything less than $100K USD in your local currency equivalent if you're managing employees that are making more than that in their local currency; the power dynamic is fatally skewed otherwise.

12h days are not unheard of, though you can also work shorter days if the workload is light.
I've been following this thread and I have to agree with noduerme.

Despite the truisms that each generation tends to think things are going to hell, this time they really are going to hell.

A life unmediated by machines is qualitatively different from one that is. Books, TV, video games were self limiting compared to the modern internet—especially social media—delivered via smartphones. Why?

1. Because they change the way we acquire knowledge. Anyone who has taken trips to foreign countries before smartphones and GPS would have been forced to talk to _people_. We had paper maps and guidebooks (Lonely Planet, my ass it's today's planet that seems lonely), but when those didn't match the reality on the ground, we were forced to ask people. Now we can all go along in our own little bubbles with our phones and experience things without talking to people.

2. It is reducing our connection to our bodies and bringing us up into our heads even more. To live a full life means to be in contact with the physical world, and to act within it.

3. As has been said above, the incentives of the makers of smartphone apps are almost always at odds with living a meaningful life. The apps almost always will try to increase your engagement with your phone, and because time isn't infinite, this means decreasing your engagement with life.

4. Because of the portability, smartphones are omnipresent. Some people even check them while they sleep.

And the sad thing is that, yes, it takes people who have lived almost their entire lives outside of the 'app' ecosystem to tell younger people this.

The apps and the phone and the habit of using them all the time have changed you developmentally. You can't see the water your swimming in, but there are some of us who still can.

On a different topic, I am using some MS APIs at work (TTS stuff) and my impression of this MS products is bad, it feels like different teams that hate each other were forced to work on this shit and some other team is forced to cover it up with documentation. I don't recommend MS stuff if you have alternatives.

You are forgetting about the efficiency of the human body. Roughly, only 21% of your power is transferred to the bike. So a professional adding 400W to the bike is actually consuming ~1900W of power. This all matches up with their nutrition [1]. Namely

> They averaged 91 g of carbs every hour across all of the stages.

That's nearly 400 calories worth of sugar simply while riding the bike. In fact, I would say cycling is a clear counterproof of this article. Their equations are literally (calories in)*efficiency = power and they know exactly how much to feed. I don't disagree that 99% of people are better served eating less, but doing cardio for 2 hours a day + diet management will lead to very quick weight loss. "Very quick" here is 2lbs/week but people have some insane expectations.

What windows? Datacenter? Essentials? Standard? which one do I need? will I be missing functions I later need? The answer to all of these questions is it probably doesn't matter that much as they all do the same thing.

What distro of linux / unix should you go for? FreeBSD? Fedora? Arch? It probably doesn't matter that much as they all do the same thing.
Wow that's quite a disgusting thing to do. It's surprising how measured his take was.

It's a loss for them not him as I don't think he would have fit in such backbiting culture. The whole episode is a warning for anyone developing open source stuff and is talking to MS or any big company.
Midwest salaries have been low for a long time, and it has had an effect on the ability to attract and retain top talent. The difference now is that the market for employment for engineers unwilling to relocate to those coastal cities has expanded dramatically. The new entrants are coming in with market-clearing salary offers. I predict we'll see salary expectations in the Midwest increase dramatically. Some Midwest employers will have to adjust their business plans accordingly. For instance, consulting shops may have to increase pricing quite a bit.
'No true scottsman' free market strikes again.

This is an inherent property of the system.

This question is entirely irrelevant, yet you seem fixated on it.
I do. "I am IT", so it helps, but we're basically OK with anyone "technical" (read devs & co) who wants to use anything else than windows. But that means they're on their own if random issues crop up.
I use pair programming from time to time when there's a subject matter expert who can provide assistance or clarification on something.

However, I'm a super introvert and pair programming is absolutely exhausting for me. The notion that this should be done continuously doesn't account for the human factors involved. It's hard to communicate this to other people, but if I had to do this for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, the stress would burn me out incredibly quick. I'd walk out the minute any company tried to impose this on me for even a couple days a week.
Let's not kid ourselves, we _all_ saw this coming a mile away. Unfortunately. :(
Transferring arcane project knowledge is the best use case of pair programming I think. That and bugsquashing a complex codebase. I could never imagine developing features with pair programming, but the prior two situations really do benefit from a bit of a mind melding.
No, you appear confused. 'pass' is pretty hard to misuse. It, at no point, makes it easy to put a password into shell history. You're getting caught up in a transcript to showcase the concepts. The actual implementation of 'pass' is quite secure. It does those things for you in a way that is secure, precisely so you don't have to worry about 'echo'ing passwords in plain text.
There’s a huge loyalty tax being paid here. Although the transparency is nice to have, it’s simply not a sustainable model.

People grow at all sorts of rates professionally. Some people can grow from a formal level to another in a year as they get a hang for their responsibilities/job. Some people have extremely hard years due to external factors too. This type of system incentivizes nobody. Why work hard? Why do challenging stuff? Why take on the jobs with most responsibilities? Etc

> In the coming months, we aim to develop written guidance on what career growth looks like for different roles, and we'll start experimenting with rewards and recognition other than salary for particularly noteworthy achievements.

How do you reward or give recognition if your system isn’t fully thought through or based on the traditional methods of perceived impact and notable accomplishment? Isn’t that exactly what this would be anyway?

Honestly this sounds like a startup who just landed recent funding thinks they are “disrupting” the market with new unconventional TC methods. Not everyone is the same. One person with ten years of experience is another persons four years.

What fairness is to me is understanding where you sit relative to your peers and market. It is checks and balances of your worth and not political players reaping the rewards constantly. It’s the whole idea that there’s three types of workers: experts, operators, and politicians. The former two actually do the work, the latter just takes the credit more visibly.
In my household, we have a running gag that sometime in the 60s, Tragg was forced into retirement for harrassing too many innocent people and embarrassing the department, and they decided "Let's hire this Columbo fellow, he'll blend in and not make waves.". The LAPD had some issues.
> Every single sport can be watched on Peacock, which is free to me and only $5/month for people without Comcast. Something like this exists in most countries. However, what you watch has forced commercial breaks -- and if you fast forward over a large section past a commercial break you must watch it -- and you can't really fast forward, only seek around.

Dude, pay the $10 for one month for ad-free Peacock. It's worth it, and much better than the author's alternative.
T1D can be triggered at any time in a person’s life. It’s autoimmune. Thinking of it as a childhood disease is outdated and (fortunately) most doctors are becoming aware of that.

Xbox and Office are irrelevant here. You editorialised the title, from something that was accurate and sufficiently clear to something that’s factually inaccurate and wildly misleading. (It isn’t Settings but a small part, it isn’t a rewrite but of new functionality, and the “improve more quickly” the title mentioned is crucial to the purpose of the article, which is explaining why they chose React Native for this piece—this being a React Native for Windows blog post, not a Windows blog post.) If you still can, please revert the title to the original.

Yeah, I was a bit frustrated with this as well. I was somewhat down-leveled right after finishing my PhD because a lot of employers didn't consider it experience, even though I did high performance computing work with projects that had multiple stakeholders. Honestly, I was more technically savvy then than I am now 4 years into working at a large tech company.
> requiring you to have a Microsoft account for future versions of Windows 11.

How quickly people forgot about mandatory iTunes activation...

> They're still the company that force-upgraded users to Windows 10

This is response for all those cries what MS should take the security of the OS seriously. No wonder what after a decade of disabled Windows Update on the endpoints (to conserve resources, to not to receive WPA update so a pirated copy would continue to work, so it wouldn't waste the precious Internet traffic and bunch of other ridiculous reasons) they took the forced approach.

The term Hispanic just refers to anyone with heritage from a Spanish speaking country in the Americas. It is neither a race nor an ethnicity.
It would be less jarring and defensible if the main menu and old-style submenu didn't have different font sizes, line heights (as a multiple of font size), icon sizes, margins, hover transitions, highlight colors, ctrl behaviors, etc.
In my experience putting two programmers on same task can even lead to less than 1x the output of a single person. People often argue about relatively pointless things while neither decision is not wrong. A single programmer would just go ahead and pick their own way and second one wouldn't consider it as important to raise during a review.

Pair programming is great for new employees. But I am not sure either how much value they add over properly done design or code reviews when it comes to stability and putting two capable programmer on the same task sure sounds a waste of time.

I think people that pairs up on same tasks/epics should try to work on different parts on parallel and try to sync up on what and roughly how they want to do stuff.

Not that it matters, but reporting mph for a stationary bike (indoor trainer I assume) is meaningless in this context. This could mean that you're cycling anywhere between 0 and 2000 Watts.

I cycle on and off for ~8 years (35yo) and going at 20mph in the real world for an hour or more became possible only after a few years for me.

I've been running Linux for the past 20ish years, professionally. In my previous company I was the only Linux-user, out of 50+ staff. In my current company there are approximately 100 employees and I'm one of two users.

I have had to jump through a couple of hoops now and again, installing an Antivirus scanner on my Debian laptop, and similar things. (Jumpcloud agent at this company too). But broadly speaking people have said "If you can take care of it, and if you have full-disk encryption then that's fine".

I've always mentioned it in interviews "I will expect to run Linux" and some people have grumbled, but nobody has said "no".

For what it's worth I'm a "devops person", rather than a developer.
Yeah it would be weird to me if programming is some unique task where two people solving a complex problem together is a bad thing.

I'd not done it much in the past but recently seen it done more and participated more - each time it's been useful. I paired to deploy some work, and having both of us work together was really helpful as we could talk through issues we were seeing as we went and it taught me more about infra & them more about the project.
This is pretty cool, I've imagined similar concepts.

Are you running it anywhere or do you know anyone who is running it?
That's the point of the article. Credentials did not matter.
