Too much focus on ARM OR RISC-V. The processor space is incredibly diverse. There are tons of embedded applications that don't require massive software ecosystem. The tenslica, arc, ceva ISAs have all shipped in the billions sitting next to arm inside SoCs.
Russia has a ton of resources in psyops and cyber espionage, this isn't a big operation. Why is keeping the Finns and Sweden out of NATO not "top of mind"?
When I was starting out, the ratio I would get for callbacks was on the order of 20:1, and the conversion to offer was on the order of 50-60:1, and those are extremely generous numbers.

I think a lot of people have seen the million jobs that I've had (and the fact that I have not been unemployed for more than a month in almost a decade) and just assume that I'm some expert interviewer, and yeah I've gotten better, but in reality I still get rejected far more often than getting an offer. My ratio now is probably closer to 20:1. Obviously I'm not the pinnacle of success or anything, but I think I've done pretty well as an engineer (particularly since the first decade of me doing this I didn't even have a degree).

I think a lot of things in life boil down to a numbers game. Million-to-one odds aren't so bad if you plan on doing something a million times.

Why is Agatha being paid less here? Just because she has not FAANG experience? Also, lumping them all under SWE II is dishonest (to hide the disparity)

Where the horizontal axis is labeled as "10", "20", "30" , ... without any unit and the vertical axis isn't even labeled beyond "Cost" (no units, no numbers). If you want to make a graph, fine, but remember your math teachers and at least get the axis right before even thinking of the data. And before drawing any conclusion.
Well, I wouldn't be going anywhere with no supplies at all. Considering that just one cooler's worth of food can last me at least a week but almost certainly longer, I wouldn't be really 'roughing it'. I could take a fishing pole, I suppose, but that would really just be amusement and the occasional snack - not a viable source of food.

Probably the one of most useful survival skills I learned in my days as a scout was how to survive off of the shitty food one's patrol cook prepared :)

I'm not sure Theresa May gets any real credit for Brexit as a concept. She didn't campaign for it; she was just daft enough to think anyone could negotiate something that satisfied the multitude of unworkable or contrasting promises.
Your argument is more or less a critique of Swift itself, which is a far more full-featured and "safe" language than Objective-C, at the expense substantially higher compilation times given otherwise like-for-like programs.

You're not necessarily wrong, but that ship has sailed for iOS development long ago and isn't necessarily the fault of teams like Doordash who have probably (like others) already squeezed as much build-time performance out of their given app size and feature set.

Mobile apps are inherently monoliths, and there is unfortunately no real way around some code changes triggering full rebuilds of millions of LoC.

These comments are hilarious. US invades Iraq and kills a million Arabs. Not a peep. Still connected to swift. Visa still works. Russia invades Ukraine and the entire world is outraged and demanding to cut Russians off from anything and everything.

Western value of the day, week, month, and decade: hypocrisy.
Yeah that's about it.

What I find really offensive, which my Mac likes to remind me of regularly on the energy usage side of things, is the siloed vats of excrement that JavaScript, Browsers and Electron have enabled. These are absolutely horrible to use compared to native applications and each one has its own ozone hole above it. If I don't open a browser or Electron app my battery lasts 2x as long.

I do the occasional bit of Swift with XCode just for fun and to concentrate on that case really does disservice to the real elephant in the room above because at least Swift is not burning the universe to the ground and recompiling bits of it every time you click something. When you're done it's native.

Edit: personal wastage shitlit: Lens, Discord, Teams, Slack, VScode. VScode gets a pass as it doesn't annoy me as much as the others.

Themis | Senior Rails or React Engineer | NYC (HQ) and Remote (Anywhere between Texas <=> Ukraine) | Full-time

We are GitHub for governance.

Governance of fintech doesn't have to be an obstacle. New finance companies need tools which simplify governance on a daily basis to help them focus on their platform's core value.

Themis streamlines sharing the information necessary to demonstrate good governance. We're currently working with new disruptive companies in defi, crypto, fintech and established community/larger banks. Essentially, Themis is putting governance on rails for companies who previously had to maintain large teams of employees for governance.

We have seed funding and are in pilot testing with our first wave of customers. Read about us at https://www.askthemis.com

We're seeking a senior engineer to join the founding team to lead the engineering effort, provide guidance on architectural choices and deliver new functionality.

We're also seeking junior engineers who are looking for rapid growth. We strongly believe in mentoring and helping team members grow to their career goals.

Yup. Military ammo cans on many of the nearby peaks--they hold the logbooks and survive the conditions. One peak that doesn't have an ammo can--every time I've been up there I've found the logbook in a different container.
I think, unfortunately, it was so common as to not be notable. People had way more kids, and there was much more infant mortality. Still tragic of course.

> Mind you, C/C++’s ridiculous header system is probably still a much bigger issue. Especially because C++ templates usually need to go in header files.

IDK about that. A project I'm working on is template-heavy in a major way, entirely header-only (~15kloc of this: https://github.com/celtera/avendish/blob/main/include/avnd/c... more or less) but with a barely correctly set-up dev environment with clang and PCH (a couple lines in CMake), ninja and mold, individual rebuilds are pretty much instant ; a complete rebuild which on my machine builds 49 libraries and 38 executables takes a whopping 7 seconds, CMake included.
That seems reasonable, but at the same time it does sound like there would just be a disproportionate difference between the bottom and top levels. I can see how gray area mixes would require more careful calibration.

One way to do this would be to look at your best and worst (group) cases and set the ranges according to those numbers. Having a fixed budget makes planning a lot easier. Probably more difficult if the budget is more fuzzy.
We could just try to subsidize carbon neutral energy and establish a carbon tax.

People could consume more carbon neutral energy than they're consuming carbon-based energy right now.

This is one of those "we've done literally nothing and we're all out of ideas" problems because we refuse to put a finger on the scale and tip the balance economically towards carbon-neutral energy.

> Europe needs gas, and it gets that gas from Russia.

As an American living in Europe, I've just learned this fact last week, but I'm curious if the US gets its gas from the middle east, why hasn't Europe been doing the same? Ever since the fall of the USSR, it's not like western Europe welcomed Russia back into Europe with open arms (to my understanding, Russia is the entire reason NATO still exists). By comparison, Europe barely seems to register the middle east's existence (aside from when refugees start crossing the border in large numbers or when supporting US invasions). So politically it seems like they'd be a much better economic partner (especially since western Europe and the US are on generally good terms and the US has been heavily involved in making sure their oil interests in the middle east remain "secure").

Is it that Russian gas is actually cheaper but the US wouldn't buy from Russia?
Truth Social (https://www.truthsocial.com/) | Engineering and Operations Roles | Southeastern USA or REMOTE (ONSITE preferred for some roles)

We are a social media company dedicated to delivering users an engaging and censorship-free experience. We believe users should be able to freely express themselves and engage with a rich diversity of viewpoints on a progressive, accessible platform. If you are interested in joining a company that is fast-paced, rapidly growing, and committed to free speech, please get in touch.

Our first product is Truth Social, a social media application which launched on 20 February to become #1 in the Apple App Store. We are expanding to other platforms (Web, Android) and adding functionality, plus working on follow-on products (SVOD, Infrastructure).

We're looking for a variety of roles in engineering for these products. Our current team is small and technically excellent, making extensive use of open source software and operating our own infrastructure to remain independent of third party control. We are particularly interested in hiring people from the established social media giants and large SAAS applications who were directly involved in creating software and infrastructure for scaling to hundreds of millions of users and beyond, and who want to do it again in an environment which values freedom of speech and expression.

When Malaysia Airlines 17 was shot down by Russia, a local part of the story was a couple whose three children were all on the flight.

How do you even go on after that?
Normal for statement is more pure than that.
I understand that and you’re of course right. This has been perhaps unwarranted hyperbole on my part. The fact is though, this topic was basically inexistent in any public discourse anywhere and as good as unthinkable. It isn’t anymore and that in itself is a tectonic shift.

At the moment not many, but full-screen layout support is planned. The eventual "end-state" of the framework would be something along the lines of MC, where there is a main, fullscreen display that contains a bunch of inner elements. These inner elements would then create modal windows, allows user input and display data as needed. Only difference from MC and the like is in this case the windows aren't just things that look like windows, but they actually act and behave like it too.

Fair question though! WindowManager honestly started off as a joke with my friend, and just so happened to end up being the main "entry point" to the library. In the future pre-defined (or even dynamic) layouts should allow the above mentioned to happen when needed, but also keep all the optional mouse input shenanigans working as intended.

Edit: One thing that I think can showcase some of the upsides an architecture like this has is an ongoing project of mine based on PTG, https://github.com/bczsalba/Pagoda. It is primarily a frontend for a WIP messaging protocol me an my friend are creating, but the main idea behind it is the chat functionality is all confined within an "application", and that the user can write and install their own applications to be run from within Pagoda. This kind of makes the system feel like a proper desktop WM, and I think is a really cool idea. As the project is still very early the only available app is the messaging one, but I do have high hopes for it, if nothing else as a tech-demo for what PTG can do.

2^(10/3) ~= 10

so

2^(100/30) ~= 100

so it should work.

And I think this trick should work for powers of any a in any base b where there is a k such that

a^(b/k) ~= b

aka

k ~= b * log a / log b
a ~= e^ (k * (log_e b)/ b)

and if b is the base of your logarithm, this simplifies to

k ~= b * log a
a = b^(k/b)

10 * log 2 = 3.0103

10 * log 5 = 6.9897

, so 5 works too....

>>> approx = lambda a: sorted( [float(scale(str(a**k)[:3])) for k in range(0,10)])

>>> [10**(k/10.0) for k in range(0,10)]

[1.0, 1.25, 1.58, 1.99, 2.51, 3.16, 3.98, 5.01, 6.30, 7.94]

>>> approx(2)
[1.0, 1.28, 1.60, 2.00, 2.56, 3.20, 4.00, 5.12, 6.40, 8.00]

>>> approx(5)
[1.0, 1.25, 1.56, 1.95, 2.50, 3.12, 3.90, 5.00, 6.25, 7.81]

Is it a coincidence that this works for 2 and 5 in base 10, while 2*5 = 10 ?
> probably because they believed that Russia would easily walk over Ukraine

Sorry to be brass, but why would NATO support Ukraine? Its not a strategy ally. There aren't any special resources there. I don't know why the US was tempting Ukraine to join NATO in the first place.
I had a job where the CTO of the company said "obviously none of us want to be woken up at three in the morning for a production issue, but if we're never being paged then we're probably moving too slow." He was very big on the "it's ok to break production, just don't make same mistake twice" mantra, which I like.
There is a story about this:

An emperor commissioned a work from the greatest calligrapher in the nation. "Make me something auspicious!" was the brief. The calligrapher thought for a moment, then wrote on a banner:

Parents die. Emperor dies. Children die.

The emperor was outraged. "How is this auspicious? It speaks only of death!" The calligrapher was serene. "Emperor, there is nothing more auspicious than for your deaths to occur in the natural order. Would you have wanted to die before your parents? Would you want your children to die before you?
RISV-V will succeed because countries like China, India and Russia need a CPU ISA that isn't directly or indirectly controlled by the U.S. government.

Somehow, they're also too stupid to roll their own.
I have seen results in minutes, but I've only ever entered updates way out in the country. Perhaps the threshold is lower for lower-traffic areas?
Key quote from an excellent and well balanced article.

> I don’t believe the success of RISC-V is because it is cheap or lower cost. If you just want to do the same as you can get with an Arm core, you absolutely should just buy an Arm core because it’s so well verified. It’s so well designed. It’s exactly what you want. The only reason for using RISC-V is because you want the freedom to change it and add your own things to it.

RISC-V is great and important as an enabler of innovation and experimentation. As a like for like replacement for the cores in your smartphone less so.
That's exactly the jump I made.

From my perspective, compilation I do (mostly Go) is near instant versus 20 seconds.

We’re a (very) small band of highly experienced devops who help our clients with the most interesting of Kubernetes-related problems. This is _actually_ devops, meaning we often develop production-grade code to solve unusual requirements.

We’ve always been 100% remote (GMT-4 through GMT-7 only), have great benefits, matching 401k, practice transparent salaries (between $180-$210k/yr), spend a day each week on internal projects, and if I may say so myself have an outstanding culture.

This may sound dumb, but how does one find so many opportunities to get rejected from? I'd love to be able to get myself in front of more people to be rejected more, but the real problem is getting the funnel in the first place. This is true both for business development and for job applications in anything but a very junior or well defined position. Getting rejected is relatively easy to take once you're in a groove (and usually it's possible to get a high conversion rate anyway). It's getting into the conversation in the first place that I find very challenging
It would never even occur to me to ask someone what caste they were from, not just in Silicon Valley where I happen to live, but anywhere in the U.S. Seriously, who does that?
Or you had some "in" at your current job that you may not have somewhere else.

I've done fine at my last two long-term jobs but I also very much got them because I knew very higher ups who answered an email right away.

It actually encourages me that a lot about the hiring system is pretty random. Otherwise the big tech employers would just skim the cream except for people who really don't want to work for those employers. As it is, there's enough randomness that lots of good people end up at other companies.
Nothing unusual. Just an answer to the previous comment, that felt thrown over one's shoulder : a whole continent won't switch its energy sources in a couple of days.
ARM started at a time when Moore Law still hold strong. It was much harder to catch up. The incumbents can't double their products performance every 18-month anymore. So RISC-V can have a easier time catching up than ARM did, one hopes.
> It is diverse and not controlled by the state.

Western media isn’t controlled by the state but frequently acts in service to it. See Manufacturing Consent, by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky.
That's from Six Feet Under, no?

There's some good poetic value in it, but I don't know if it's actually true. It has more to do with the effect it has for someone's "normal" life cycle, which is why orphan is only applied to children and not adults. And as the sibling comment mentions, it was pretty common in a family of ~5-10 to have at least one child die.

That's a straw man argument - I did not say it's concern #1, just pointing out that React forces that specific trade-off. Balancing complexity, maintainability, AND performance is really hard with hooks, the lack of built-in reactivity and inefficient baseline behaviour. It's rarely a matter of "just combine it into one reducer".

On top of that, profiling and optimizing a real world application with a dozen hooks in every component is pretty painful.
In fairness, for a lot of people, the ordering is "Who will pay me the most?"
