I think it's kind of rare to find a company that will promote you to "the senior levels of an IC" on just your technical domain expertise. I mean REALLY rare. At most places I've seen, you can get promoted on purely technical knowledge up to a certain level, but beyond that level, you're expected to show "leadership" and "influence" and "cross-team impact" and all that jazz. Same expectation of social skills as if you wanted to take the management track. So no matter which way you go, you ultimately plateau early in your career if you just focus on technical mastery.

Businesses are inherently social organizations, and at the higher levels, all require the typical bullshit that you though you left behind in high school: Schmoozing, smooth talking, brown nosing, political savvy, charm, confidence, cutthroat opportunism, those telltale "Ivy League mannerisms" that you see in every VP at your company. I learned this too late in my career, and it's really hard to pivot from "grumpy old man" once you become one!

Never tried that -- what sort of thing would you test if you had one?
Also, Pranayama has always been a general concept with differing interpretations rather than a single thing. For some it's a set of exercises, for others it's intended to slowly stop you from breathing. Some of it literally is just snorting water.
Yeah, I saw a group of skiers stopped in the middle of a run last week and I thought that some had been hurt. They were confused as to why I thought something was wrong.

Another little game that does this very well is Knights of San Francisco:
https://egamebook.com/knights/

Just the way they reveal the text phrase-by-phrase makes all the difference. I'm someone who wants to read all the text, but if they just dumped the whole paragraph in one go I wouldn't be able to stop myself skimming past it to the choices. And the restriction feels subtle enough to be unobtrusive.

I wonder if these text-based games work best on mobile (as long as it's choice-based and you don't have to type). 80 Days is a good example. I thought Disco Elysium was very well written but the walking around gets a bit tedious and the graphical part was maybe under utilised.
I guess that’s up to OP. It could be that they’re just busy. On the other hand, they might be playing tricks. It’s never wrong to consult a lawyer (^_^)
> Stopping from what? And what bigger problems?

Stopping Russia from copying 1930ies Germany and/or recreating USSR.

The last 20 years Russia has been salami slicing Eastern Europe, taking one slice at the time.

BTW: I think it would be a lot more consistent and believable if you didn't - in a short timespan - both try to criticise me for 1.) not wanting to give enough subsidized fuels to Europe 2.) wanting to subsidize fuels for Europe.
> And also, both games allow addons which is awesome

FFXIV doesn't officially support or even allow add-ons. It's true that they've taken a kind of "don't ask don't tell" policy on add-ons, but it's far to say that they support add-ons the same way WoW does. GW2 also supports add-ons to the same extent as FFXIV.

> Its possible I find the lack of voice acting annoying in FFXIV because the game is not yet challenging which makes me wanna rush. Or perhaps its some kind of desire to quickly level up, as inherited from previous MMORPGs.

The dialogue writing in FFXIV and the text delivery in general is not great, even though I did greatly enjoy the characters and story. Still, there is plenty of bad dialogue, and it's usually delivered far too slowly for my tastes, and with lots of random pauses for things like unskippable character emotes.
> The next thing will incorporate its advances.

Already has. Logseq [1] is essentially an open-source Roam that stores its data locally, in markdown files. It's not quite as polished yet, because it's still in beta, but I'm quite happy with it so far.

Yup the common factor is people, not what they attach to their feet.
This is something I ask myself constantly. I believe what the commenter means is that if you want to "grow" or get a higher salary then you will be expected to do more, and at a certain point the definition of more can only mean stepping into a leadership role of some sort where you have to interface with more people.

If you're happy with your current responsibilities as an IC then you should be able to stay at that top level (Principal engineer) and continue doing what you're doing today, just don't expect a higher pay.
`cupsfilter` being deprecated brings some risk. Speaking about Linux (the article is about Mac), you could:

- Reformat man pages as html, and view them in `links2 -g`. There are multiple converters for the man format, some rely on Perl, others compiled with Haskell, etc.

- To capture a stream, transform it, and view it in a GUI, some utilities will only read from a file. So, maybe use a named pipe.

- If you just want excellent colorized output, try MANPAGER="sh -c 'col -bx | bat -l man -p'"
Well, certainly you can FEEL warm - it takes just a little practice before you can relax enough for your blood vessels in your skin to expand. Nothing special about this, I've done that many times before, while waiting at the bus stop, for example. Problem is: in the longer term you will die from cold FASTER this way - you are basically just wasting your heat by dispersing it.
Yeah -- I use one to get debug console access to a Raspberry Pi, and to show the output from a Nikon or Sony camera. Not tried to see what happens with my Mac Mini, but then I only ever used that with DVI monitors, and I don't think I ever tried e.g. DVD protected content.
I've been using Twitter steadily practically since it launched. Twitter has different purposes for different people. I have 0 interest in gaining a following. I actively block and mute people. I filter out most retweets. I only follow people that are valuable sources of information for areas of industry or the world that I care about. So my feed is heavily curated.

This obviously won't work well if you're goal is to gain a following though, so the experience of those users who are growing their follower count their will have a drastically different experience from mine.

The Chaebol. This has been institutionalised in South Korea. And they inherited / immigrated the Keiretsu in Japan.
And it seems to lump tech lead, staff-level individual contributor not leading a team, and architect-level positions that have no direct reports.

When I speak about career options to people I lead, I say there is a senior level plateau. At that point, you have to be more intentional about growth. If you want to stay in the field, and you want to progress past senior developer (staying a core contributor is an option!), you need to think about where you are going. You can be a generalist, specialist, or outside of development. Going into management is changing careers, much like going into product development or farming.

If you want to be a generalist, you are looking to expand your influence as you tackle harder and harder problems. Tech leads are generalists. Architects are generalists. All of them have some form of technical leadership to help steer larger and larger efforts. You can also become a generalist that specializes in early startups: you are there to tackle any problem that is in front of the organization until it outgrows the need - at that point you can look for new pastures or help guide the organization while solving smaller and smaller problems.

You can also become a specialist. You learn, in depth, a smaller set of responsibilities, but you can build what others cannot. You can debug and solve problems others cannot. You can be a consultant, or a specialized shared service within an organization. You have options, but mastery is what motivates you, and that mastery can be very valuable in certain situations.

But that is career growth, not planning for the end of your career. Sometimes, that is a parallel track, like management or product. Sometimes, that's retirement. Sometimes, that's moving into another industry. I think that's what the article is talking about instead.

The idea that this positive state of mind is resource dependent is itself a preemptive loss of that state of mind.

My bet is that, once the situation with Russian presence has stabilised they will organise a referendum on joining Russia. The same happened in Crimea, iirc.
I've myself at one point wanted to understand where time is spent, and, more importantly lost. Meaning, spent on unplanned distractions.

I've tried various software mechanisms, but it always ended up being too tedious.

Would love to see the hardware device in a small portable format!
Somewhat OT, but I love the phrasing "Something's gone awry", so much more elegant than the usual "Oops, we dun made a bad".
This story points out few things. First, this is a failure of parenting. He should have demanded his kids surrender their devices every evening. Did he not want the "conflict"? Dads had more backbone, when I was growing up.

Second, I think there should be licensed use available for low power jammers -- say, one that ranged only so far as the perimeter of a high school classroom. If that's not possible, then perhaps schools need to be refitted with chickenwire in the walls, like the old plaster walls of years ago.
Well, it's all fine if it works for you, but there's no doubt that both Gtk and Wayland do not support fractional scaling at all: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4345.

> System Preferences on a Mac (specifically the Display ("Displays"?) pane) also gives you some choices that make everything bigger or smaller, but if you don't choose the native resolution of the display, everything is very blurry -- which does not happen on a pure-GTK3 Linux install.

It absolutely does. You may not see it, but Wayland and Gtk as of 2022 are not able to do technically anything else here than scaling. This is a known issue, and the reason why I linked that Wayland fractional scaling thing - it is not possible on regular desktop Linux (it is on Android/ChromeOS) to get adequately sized, rendered for size output on your 27" 4K screen or 13" 1080p screen.
Looks great and super smart to have the instant demo. More SAAS tools should offer that.

Jira / Atlassian / etc. does my head in every time I even have to login, let alone use it.

Hope this tool / ones like it will take off!
This is a pretty typical associational/correlational study where unwarranted causality appears as if magic in the post-study journalism. Does happiness cause better performance? Does better performance lead to happiness? Is some other factor or confounder behind both?

If one were to follow the reasoning of the authors, their data also supports disbanding Active Duty and Reserve in favor of National Guard. The next MITSloane story writes itself--part time workers have higher performance: go go gig economy!

It depends. Like anything else, it's a bell curve. Alot of people lose their ability to do things but aren't sick otherwise. Dementia, etc.

If you have an acute event and end up not progressing through rehab... then yeah you're on a clock. The gross part is that the facility knows it and treats you like an animal.
>"The Iron Curtain of the 1940s and ‘50s was ostensibly designed to isolate Russia from Western Europe – to keep out Communist ideology and military penetration.

Uhh what? If I remember my history class correctly, it was the east that built the berlin wall and had emigration restrictions, not the other way around. The wikipedia article confirms this.

"The term symbolizes the efforts by the Soviet Union (USSR) to block itself and its satellite states from open contact with the West and its allied states. "

Oh, figures.
It's also interesting to see that they've done the exact opposite of what the devs from Sunless Skies did from the article. The Sunless Skies devs thought that in their previous design the reading panel was too much on the right side and was discomforting to the players and moved to the center). Instead Disco Elysium moved all text to the right and made the whole presentation like a Twitter feed on the side.
SwiftUI is still incomplete IMO. It has perf issues and bugs still. Needs a few more years or to stop wrapping UIKit.
As more services are having issues, like Slack. It's most likely a cloud provider (AWS) thats having issues (in some regions).
It's working fine for me in Seattle, WA. It looks like two "down" reports from Colorado, likely something ISP/Geo-specific.
Most Americans still live in large metro areas, either in the cities themselves or the suburbs.

There’s this myth that america has all this land and space and that causes this or that, which is partially true, but the reason why Toronto is expensive has nothing to do with the fact that it’s very challenging to live in the northern reaches of the country. Canada has 1/10th the population of the US and fewer people than the single state of California. There’s plenty of space within the few major cities within the country.

For another reference, there are more people living in the New York and LA metro areas than in all of Canada.
And just as empty and ultimately demoralizing. It feels great to “advance” so quickly at the start, but then most people are stuck at some level of “senior” for the next N decades. Why not have meaningful titles commensurate with actual levels of mastery?
It is entirely possible CDPro was running out of money. When Rockstar spent a decade on RDR2 they had GTA Online making billions.

Hopefully that will get your kids interested in things like obfsproxy, and maybe they'll even end up being able to contribute new methods to bypass China's Great Firewall when they grow up.
There was a small dash of sarcasm in my previous comment. There is no reason why web browsing should be slower on a Pi4 than on a Windows XP machine with 512MB of RAM from 2001.
Well, apparently it's hard.

Even Amazon can't do it properly.
> I changed careers at 40+ years old. I'm very happy that I did it.

Would you mind sharing a bit more about that? I.e. what did you do before, what are you doing now?

I ask because I'm looking for inspiration; my current job is comfortable and okayish but not leading anywhere. And I really dislike the company that I work for.
Hint, folks. The post is not about keyboards. It's not about typing or any other form of text entry, either.
What's crazy to me is that the more modern 4th down play-calling statistics has been known for at least two decades now; I first heard about it from my stats teacher in high school.
The issue is that making the right call and it not working out would reflect more poorly on a coach than making the more traditional call and playing worse. It reminds me of the saying "No one ever got fired for buying IBM".
Live maps like this of ethnic conflicts in Kenya made a huge difference with the civil unrest there. This conflict is very different, but being able to present evidence of what is happening could have a great influence not just on the conflict itself but all that comes afterward.
Curious what yours and daves apps are! Could you link?
Yeah - unfortunately - this is not a story of a genius. It’s a story of someone who was interested in mundane things. I think it’s also important to realize that there were likely other attributes at play but OP likely has created a narrative that it was simply their interests that made them engaging. (This is usually not it - I’ve met plenty of people who were also interested in mundane things but exceptionally unpleasant to be around)
Oh, yeah I guess I've been using "whiteboarding" to mean "live code test"--which these days are done on like CodeSignal or whatever. I guess for teams that do architecture stuff w/ an actual whiteboard then like, yeah that skill seems relevant.

And I 100% think that both parties getting a feel for how work is done is very important, so I think like letting interviewees have a look at some code reviews, maybe sit in on a retro, do a pair exercise or whatever, this stuff makes sense. And I like your point about "if things become contentious": a lot of teams can fall apart in these moments, and they're kind of a test of the maturity of the participants and the strength of the culture.
For some reason NativeScript is never mentioned on HN.
Either way, it is a good idea. Prevents subscription modeled features.
I'll add this: on spinning disks it's normal to reorder write operations; it is optimal to order writes in a way that matches the layout on disk. That way, each sector is written as the write head passes over the sector. We like to think of a disk-backed filesystem as slow, persistent RAM, but in reality it's a lot more complex than that.
Another game worth mentioning here is Cultist Simulator. Usually the text is not directly informative but atmospheric, nevertheless it is the point of the playing... it is where the listlessness and excitement and Lovecraftian grossness is communicated and those are kind of the only reason to play.

Now, this is atypical from the other examples in the OP. You will read the same piece of text many times, it's just the flavor on a card that you are trying to activate, or maybe it's the outcome. But it has some similar aspects, like that every card is identified by one word, you get the remaining info in sort single paragraphs when you focus the card, etc.
If you can remove the SIM, do that. If not, you could try wrapping the phone in two or three layers of aluminum foil, separating each layer by plastic wrap. YMMV.
Plex on NixOS
Other people have pointed to the data dump. All the posts on the site are Creative Commons licensed, and that can't be undone by anyone's decision at the company.

The promise that the data would be available and licensed for reuse was a crucial factor in its success. Its UI has never been anything world-changing. There have been other QA sites that have come and gone. Many of the original contributors would not have spent so much time without the assurance that their material was not owned by the company, just hosted by it.
Most major cities on Germany either use district heating or gas (esp. in eastern Germany).

Overall, rounded: 48% natural gas, 25% oil, 14% district heating

https://www.bmwi-energiewende.de/EWD/Redaktion/Newsletter/20...

Electrical heating is rare, because it's inefficient. And considering the former energy mix of Germany: not ecological.

You don't have to like Scholz, but talking about nuclear in this context and calling the head of a state dumb... ?!?!... doesn't make much sense.
FB needs to find a reputable country with privacy laws that are valid in EU and that does not have data funnels into state agencies or giant companies, then FB can move everyone data there including US citizens to be always protected.

I think Microsoft, Apple and others have done similar think to obtain approval for some of their products so is not something new but FB can decide they can pull out or try to work with the other giants to demand that non-US citizens deserve privacy and basic rights.
For me it was more about identifying the archetype I was after so I knew who to
emulate. It only lasted a year or two in most cases until I moved on to someone else.

You can’t, and I don’t think it is smart to try to, line up a progression like this because in the process both you and the environment will change.
I don't necessarily think they only had higher QA standards back then. Back then you delivered the game on a physical medium, i.e. CD/DVD-ROM and could not expect the customer to be 24/7 online. If you did mess up your Golden Master or did not catch game breaking bugs, this could severely damage your revenue during your main sales window.
I've been waiting for basically the same thing in 3:2 or 16:10 although I'd settle for 4K, given real-world constraints. For what it's worth, that's a tremendous amount of bandwidth that even _new_ protocols such as HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 2.0 don't support, except DP2.0 in it's maximum bandwidth mode that hasn't been implemented anywhere as far as I know. If you take your requirements down to 4K, then both HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.0 at UHBR10 can do it.
The person you're replying to isn't advocating for a way to opt out of updates. He doesn't want you to be allowed to get them even if you do want them. That's just as much not owning your cars as being forced to take updates you don't want is.

I don't think this is true. I did a job search for "Flutter" vs "React Native" on Indeed and there are 10x as many jobs for React Native. Nothing against Flutter, but I don't think it's the biggest or the most popular cross platform mobile SDK.

I would expect that there would be presentations and meetings to share the products of the research. It's an entirely different thing be primarily performing project and stakeholder management.

The only way I found out about the true nature of the position is from an informal informational with a member of that team. The job posting itself mentioned nothing about project management and glossed over the stake holder management part. This is very misleading. Plus, if the majority of the position is project management, then they should probably title it as such.
