Absolutely. When I left my last job (team lead), I did the best I could to leave my team in a good position for the future. Got my code into a working state, documented everything I could, including stuff I hadn't touched in months. Made sure I left a time-critical project in a good enough state that they could demo to the client.

Even after all that, I still got a panicky call a couple weeks ago about a project that hadn't been touched in over a year. You can only go back so far :-)
Apple currently charges 15% for <$1m revenue. Yes, 30% is pretty standard, however they're also asking you to give up your IP. The open source only policy makes no sense from a business standpoint. Their justification was so the software can be vetted, which is nice for the user, but precludes any developer who has actual proprietary tech (in my case, GPU algorithms, etc.)

Add to that an inferior knock-off of the macOS UX, a half-baked programming language they want you to use, and it's not exactly a winning combo for a developer.

Instead of being purists, they could have highlighted the open-source apps in their store with a badge, giving the user a choice. They could have used say Rust or Go instead of inventing their own language. They could have better differentiated their design from macOS.
Then they'll drink Chernogolovka Baikal instead. Which is OK, I do too. Hope it stays available here, makes a real good pairing with sweet hot beef jerky from Jack Links.

It's kind of funny, because at the same time Jobs is explaining why DRM sucks and basically can't be standardized, they were also developing the iPhone which would go on to repeat the whole "only we sell things wrapped in this DRM" thing... except without the sideloading option.

The article you linked adds it's own commentary which has aged like milk. Jobs wasn't so much opposed to DRM in general, as much as he just didn't like it on music. This probably has more to do with the fact that Apple was not a music label[0], and thus he was predisposed to look at music solely as a consumer[1]. When it comes to things Apple does publish[2], such as software, they are extremely protective of it.

[2] "Publishing" in this case means funding the creation, marketing, and physical manufacturing of some creative work. This is primarily what a music label does, and is part of the reason why they take so much from artists.

Can Optery help with cleaning / opting out of Google Knowledge Panel?

Right now a search for my first and last name bring up a knowledge panel with my full date of birth.

I suppose I am lucky because it is correct DOB but still feels unsettling.

I have not claimed my Knowledge Panel because I am afraid it would show even more information.

It is such a tiny thing but if there was a way to revert to just showing my age it would be amazing.
Since the money has already been invested they probably don’t care who succeeds/fails but they want the unicorn to give returns ASAP so they can be spent before they die.
> Tip: Your manager really, really wants to hear what you really honestly think.

As the original commenter noted, the person who was honest about what they really thought was the one laid off when the time came. I won't say it's true for you, but at many organizations "I really want to hear what you honestly think..." has a second clause: "... so that I know who my most valuable 'resources' are."

I'm unconvinced that (from the employee's perspective) the best way to engage with management or HR is radical transparency.

...all hail distribution package maintainers!

There's a little more to it (deb-src into /etc/apt/sources.list), but it's super-instructive to do it on something like 'busybox' and be able to make legitimate changes to something like 'ls' ... or do it to 'coreutils' and make modifications to the "real ls".

Although the "speed-bump" to being able to build packages for the first time is a bit rough, the benefit is that the documentation is outstanding and the process is pretty seamless for most/all packages, regardless of complexity.

The docs and tools are written by engineers and maintainers for people just like you... an independent consumer/programmer, sitting at their computer, trying to (re-) build a package to add a feature or fix a bug.

The other benefit is that the process is relatively consistent across literally thousands of packages and there's a lot of docs + tools +features to handle almost any scenario that Debian (Ubuntu) supports. If you learn it for one use case, your investment pays dividends across all other packaged software.

I agree - I just think labeling them as JSX issues is pretty disingenuous. JSX is literally just running them as standard js expressions here - which I actually find delightful: they work the same as they do in normal javascript (quirks included :D ).

>The businesses that use coding exams have the second-rate (and lower) developers writing code.

So FAANG has second-rate developers?

I would say the opposite anywhere that does not test has second-rate developers as they let anyone who can talk the talk in.

E.g. I have seen senior 5+ years tenured engineers at non-FAANG companies with weak coding tests, write O(N^2) code in production; then I took a look at it and reduce it to O(N) and N was not small it was pushing 50,000 and was only expected to grow...
I did a similar DIY solution:

1. Bought two long butcher block countertops from Home Depot. Stained and sealed them myself.

2. Bought some IKEA bookcases and desk legs.

Finishing the wood was a lot of work. I ended up doing about six coats on each piece. But for a very good price, I know have an enormous 8'x8' L-shaped desk that looks gorgeous. I wish it was a little deeper since countertops aren't quite as deep as most desks (24" versus 30"), but it's mostly fine.

To be completely fair, if you're not a straight white man and people are regularly mistaking you for a straight white man, that generally means only one thing: you're on the wrong side of history.

And no, I think you should think a bit harder about what it is you said and how you said it. It's easy to claim that isn't what you meant, but you've yet to provide any concrete examples of what you mean, which I called you out for and you proceeded to be flippant. This is also a sign that you know your argument is lost.

You can continue to claim straw men, but you've yet to provide evidence that I've actually created a straw man.

EDIT: Moreover, if you want to say we should just not discuss LGBTQ+ issues in public and try and justify using a slur and then call LGBTQ+ people the problem when they get angry, maybe you should have the courtesy of doing that in private.

The chairs are probably more like $1000 after bulk discount for buying hundreds of them,and they'll last 20 years. Having worked in many corporate environments, including FAANGs that seemingly spare no expense, none of them have used these monitors. It's always a $300ish monitor for developers and I've seen some senior executives with $1000 wide screen curved monitors. Maybe a few designers somewhere get a fancy Apple one (although I've never seen it), but these are not intended for the masses.

One thing I wonder about with these kinds of accidents: to what extend does operational experience work its way back to requirements of components.

For example, if regularly pieces of foam are hitting the tiles after launch, was that part of the specs for the tiles to handle that? Did anybody go back, take a worst case scenario of a piece foam hitting a tile (size, speed, etc.) and verify that the tiles could handle such an impact?

Best and worst taxi rides I've had were out of SFO about 15 years ago.

Best was in the evening. Went to the cab queue and the guy that pulled up for me had the windows down and was blasting techno from that university station that was around back then. He practically catapulted my gear in the back and off we went. Traffic was light enough he could weave through it doing about 30 over the limit, windows down and techno blaring the whole way. Got to my hotel quite fast.

The worst was mid day, and was a guy that was starting to nod off to sleep at red lights. I nearly got out of the cab but was already late to a big deal meeting, so just stuck it out despite how sketch it was.
Even Quicken finally added a "last tax year" on the menus.

BTW, Quicken is the most rube-goldberg-esque program I've ever encountered. There's no UI consistency anywhere, the screen constantly clears and flashes and redraws, some check boxes cannot be clicked on, you have to Alt-key them, some places Paste does not work, and it blocks you while it updates itself every week or so.

What a mess of a program. I bet it was written by squirrels and poodles.

> “Yeah, Apple’s products are pretty good, probably the best depending on what you need from them, but at the end of the day they are not that different from the cheaper alternatives and not really worth the extra money unless you have a lot to spare”. Which, it seems to me, is pretty much what you are going to hear from most people about Apple products anywhere in the world.

This could not be further from the truth. I imagine the number of people who think iPhones are the superior product outnumber the number of people who don't really care, and I'd be among them.

Audio CDs do have framing information (in the subchannel). However, the subchannel has no error correction (only basic error detection), so the CD player has to interpolate across subchannel errors (which are normal and common) to figure out where it is, and doing that properly can get complicated.

Also, the audio frame size is 2352 bytes. Those correspond to 2048 data bytes for data CDs (plus extra error correction).

The thread is about conspiracies being peddled by the russian government, state media, and other bad actors. And yes there absolutely are conspiracies, related to this idea of bio-superweapons that are being peddled by bad actors.

Instead, it is other people attempting to deflect from the very real issue of conspiracies being peddled by these bad actors.

So yes, the original point about all of this, is about fake propaganda being spread. And yes that is an issue, as demonstrated by the example that I gave.

You and others just have to admit that yes fake propaganda, being spread by bad actors, is a real issue, which is the core point.

The idea that these bad actors are speading a bunch of mis-info, and half truths, to justify an invasion should be pretty obvious, IMO.
In order to begin being an actual useful resource on the internet they have to, among other things, get rid of the feature where you have to click "load more" 10 times to read the small fraction of replies to a Tweet that Twitter does not censor completely.

If a tweet has 100 replies, it generally only shows the most pro-neocon/PC response, and you have to click "Load More", then it will show 1 more response, you keep clicking "Load More", and eventually there's no more "Load More" button, and you've only seen 5 responses. Where are the other 95 responses that Twitter deemed to be wrongthink?

Why would anyone use a website like that when you're only getting curated propaganda? It's like sitting in front of the TV and only watching ads with no actual content.
> And I assure you, things work exactly how he describes. If you bend over backward for them, your customers will take care of you.

Do you own a real business, incorporated with real products, employees, P/L, etc.? If so, I would really like to hear your experience bending over backwards for customers and having the resulting social media and customer buzz solve everything. That's not the way things work in my admittedly limited experience (2 companies, one failed, one ongoing).

I haven't heard of Brad, but the thing that makes me hesitate is not the "coach" but rather the origin - Seattle - which is where a lot of the "obsess over customers" dogma originates.
Anandtech peaked M1 Max power at 43w, but that still included some GPU and other SoC usage. Doubling that gives 86w as an absolute max.

Anandtech peaked out the 5950 actual power consumption at 142w.

Anandtech peaked out the 12900k at 259w of actual power consumption.

AMD lists TDP for 5995WX at 280w. The 3990X has an identical TDP and it's actual power consumption would go up over 300w IIRC.

Even when it lists Apple Lossless, there can still be errors in the files.

I found an album from 2001 on Apple Music recently and discovered one of the tracks cuts out at just after one minute, even though Discogs reports the track should be 4 minutes 30 seconds (Slide - Closure (Lounge-Tech Mix), on the Nu Progressive Era compilation: https://www.discogs.com/master/90383-Red-Jerry-Nu-Progressiv...). The album is listed as "Apple Lossless".

I went and bought the original CD version JUST to have that one track in full.

I've worked in very high process environments (CMM 3 as one example) on occasion and for the most part they've been really awesome and focused on greatness. More please!

That's not the narrative I see here (these comments), so maybe the foregoing is surprising to some of you.

For many reasons I take it as fact that we aren't nearly as rational about technology choices as we tell ourselves and each other. (My father was a shrink.) Seems to me like every part of the mythical technology stack comes with ritual (alleged best practices) concerning build practices, code management, coding styles, you name it. Indeed you can, at least in a caricaturish fashion, diagnose personality associated with languages as sadistic, masochistic, romantic, hysteric, nostalgic, narcissistic and so forth.

These practices don't build greatness. Based on what I've seen over many years, so-called "best practices" are often, if you will, part of the "affect" informing such diagnosis.

There is something I refer to as "crazy" (noun), and when I write code one of my guiding principles is avoiding / reducing crazy. We all know how we feel when things are crazy, right? Sure, I know you personally are immune to the effects of crazy, but what about those around you?

They probably get a little neurotic and fall back on habits; so it's good if best practices align with those habits. Actually, I'm kidding.

Minimize crazy, or it ends up as tech debt in your tools rather than your product.

I consider my philosophical differences with the author to be of no particular consequence. The article really resonated with me especially the observations that you can't enforce greatness and the tendency of people to think their job is to follow policy when they're in a kettle of crazy.
You’re right but i think there’s an immensely valuable lesson here for people who communicate with engineers as part of their job: be mindful of casual precision mistakes. “no one” and “a statistically insignificant number of” are colloquial synonyms to civilians, but they are black and white to engineers, especially software people. They are the difference for example between a safe code path and a edge case bug. In my experience, people who use casual imprecision in technical conversations are sometimes seen as inexperienced or not fully understanding a problem, which may actually not be the case. Learning to speak with precision without being pedantic is an excellent soft skill that can be developed over time.

Hi wingerlang,

Very much appreciate you trying it out, though.
Yes! My intuition about writing is that technical writing should leave every reader with the same understanding of the same ides, whereas creative writing should leave each reader with different emotions, images, thoughts- the ones in the reader themself. My favourite example- H. P. Lovecraft's vague descriptions of Mythos horrors, that contrive to be genuinely disturbing because they leave all the work to the reader's imagination. For me, that's good creative writing technique: allude, evoke, suggest, don't ever, ever show or tell directly. Exactly the opposite of what should go into a thesis, say (like the one I'm writing currently...)!
