Don't count on it. First of all, "exceeds expectations" really means "meets expectations". It's pass/fail, and you passed. Programmers are interchangeable cogs, if you stand out it doesn't matter because your excess potential will go to waste. In fact, it can be red flag to management because you're trying too hard, you could start feeling too important or better than the rest of your team, and could leave as a result. (That said, many of us can't help but stand out).
Secondly, I think it's well-established that developers will leave after 1.5 years or whatever the average is, and to keep someone you really need to throw a lot of money at them. Smart companies (like MANGA) structure their entire culture and process around this. The best people will move on after a few years. The truly great will get pulled aside and get extra sweeteners added. But that's like 1%.
EVs don't have "manual" transmissions and shouldn't/won't.

I love driving my manual ICE, but I know that my next car, which will be EV, won't have a gearbox. It'll have "forward" and "reverse".

What does "neutral" mean when your engine(s) don't "idle"? Why do you have gears if the torque is flat from zero?

EVs are going to kill off gearboxes and all of the associated mechanical linkages, dramatically reducing maintenance and repair.

Well, Russians can said same thing: we can survive without West just fine.

Even North Korea - struggle, but keeps ok on it's own. Russia will have no issues, because it has much more resources, and is in much better position.

My point was, that it's unfortunate, that today situation shows that we - West and Russia can't live peacefully together, and it's not 100% Russia's failure.

GoodTwitter2[0] is the only reason that I still use the web version anymore. I can handle the mobile interface on a mobile device, but making the desktop experience mobile-themed was the straw that almost broke the camel's back. GoodTwitter2 mostly fixes that, thankfully.

The userscript also fixes the reverse-chronological issue. There's literally a setting that enables one to force "Latest Tweets First" mode, so it'll switch back to the "latest" feed whenever Twitter has decided that you should be viewing their "home" feed instead.

When you downgrade one site another site is upranked.

If you have a basic result

1. Good
2. Bad
3. Good

And downrank the propaganda, the #3 result will now be #2. This is up ranking the good by default.

A couple of my co-workers got robbed by gunpoint in that area walking to the bus. Its not safe anymore. I no longer go downtown for anything, not even the ferry anymore, the traffic is even horrific.
YMMV, yes I agree that the convini sandwich is something to try and the perfect thing for a quick "oops I forgot to prepare anything" picnic in Yoyogi Park.

However my main critique is that some times their filling is just a small line across the bread, where the cut showing the contents is, and the rest is basically empty bread. You can see an example of what I mean in this article (it's about Taiwan, but in Japan I've seen way worse): http://jonathanlee.org/2014/02/21/interlude-treachery-7-11-s...

You can also guess it from this side-view; yes the meat is just a strip along the cut edge, the rest is stale-ish bread: https://grapee.jp/en/wp-content/uploads/s-50126_05.jpg

It depends on the type of sandwich, so it goes from "always wrong" (like the last pic) to "it really depends" on some others. Normally it's okay though: https://soranews24.com/2020/10/24/25-different-japanese-conv...

For a weird tip, just eat more fiber. The average American gets less than 50% of the recommended amount of fiber through their normal diet.

There was a study done a few years ago, and they put one group of people on a traditional diet, and told the other group of people to do nothing different except take some fiber supplements. The group eating fiber supplements lost almost as much weight as the group on the diet. [1]

> After 12 months, researchers found many of the adult participants in the high-fiber group lost around 4.5 pounds. Meanwhile, participants in the AHA diet group lost nearly 6 pounds. The researchers concluded that while the "more complex" AHA diet resulted in more weight loss, they determined "emphasizing only increased fiber intake may be a reasonable alternative for persons with difficulty adhering to more complicated diet regimens."

The idea is that fiber both keeps things moving through your gut instead of staying put until every last calorie is absorbed by your body, and the bulk of it also keeps you feeling more full for longer so you eat less overall.

You do have to ease into it though over the course of a few weeks, because it can be rough of the digestive tract at first if you're not used to it.

IIRC, the 2/3rds figure was for a particular input required for making fertilizer, which might be better or worse depending on how easily that particular item is replaced. The real loser here appears to be India, which apparently has a heavy reliance on Russia for fertilizer and agricultural products. If the rest of the world cannot replace what Russia no longer exports, it can be a huge disaster for India and that region.

I'm twenty five years in and have about 15 companies now. I finish projects and move on to a new one typically at a new company. Only a couple times were leaving part way through something. Would I be seen as a job hopper?
Yes and no. COPPA has a direct role in the 13 yo cut-off, but it’s not the whole story.

For instance I’m directly mentioning Youtube, but outside of comments it’s still somewhat usable for a 13- yo kid.

Twitter could have set a mode for 13yo (idk, have parents pre-vet the tweets if they are really into controlling ?) but it looks like it was simpler for them to just ban pre-teen accounts.

I’m not sure facebook can deal with pre-13 yo either.

Basically the shittier the company, the less it will be able to handle the pre 13yo case, and I wouldn’t put the blame on COPPA.

Please just don't. You're better than that. Here's a list of companies who don't participate in this bullshit: https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards

At my current gig I was hired at staff level in Nov. 190k (please, let's normalize sharing salaries) . I could do better, but I am passionate about my job for the first time in 10 years. How much do you value happiness?

You're not an imposter. Especially as an HN reader (you're actually interested in your job).
The government has already proven itself to be untrustworthy, not sure what benefit people get out of giving them personal information about their age, income, etc. The IRS, DMV, social security, etc already has all the information they need. Saying it is important is like saying it is important to give out your information to Google to make it easier to cater search results and give you targeted advertisements.
Yep always funny when they try to tell you why the sky isn't blue. Sad part is it works on most people.
Perhaps knowledgeable, experienced, capable - but not necessarily more valuable.

The value is very much based on what a person does, where they do it, who they do it for, and when they do it.

All those other factors will usually outweigh modest personal growth.

Lame example: being a better typewriter repair person today, working in a barbershop. No matter how well that person does their job, they may not add more value this year than last.
> Sorry, no. Japanese sandwiches are made from this

Surely you meant konbini sandwiches?
Sorry, but you cannot find Whole Foods or Trader Joes in every corner. These stores are concentrated in affluent areas, and even there you need a car to find one. The typical American local store has pretty much disgusting food, highly processed and fat stuff like in McDonalds. In Japan, on the other hand, you can find this kind of option everywhere.

> If the chronological timeline is somehow hurting their profitability, why would they offer it at all?

If I recall correctly, this was the default. Then they introduced the semi curated algorithmic as a feature. Then replaced chronological and got a ton of backlash. They've been playing a game of capitulation and direction ever since.

> There's nothing stopping Twitter from inserting the same ads at the same frequency just because the Tweets are ordered differently.

The chronological timeline is your connected accounts + ads. The algorithmic timeline is the same but also some "suggestions." Ostensibly this makes it harder to immediately separate ad from, say, an account your friend follows.
The main culprit for this really is 7-11, FamilyMart and Lawson are slightly better in this regard.

Looking at the source of the cached page,

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:sRJX_e...

It contains

<a href="/quotes/tag/don-t-give-up-quotes">don-t-give-up-quotes</a>,
<a href="/quotes/tag/don-t-give-up-the-fight">don-t-give-up-the-fight</a>,

After you eliminate HTML, that becomes "don-t-give-up-quotes, don-t-give-up-the-fight" and since punctuation is stripped, that matches.

Full disclosure I work at Google, but not on Search.
I think seeing everything from people you know and seeing things in chronological order are separate. Just because you select the latter doesn't mean you get the former.

Simple experiment:

Go to Facebook and use
?sk=h_chr
scroll until you "run out" of material, and then check to see if you actually saw all of the recent stuff from a particular friend.
> generally move past them

> I've job hopped too

Nice double standard, lucky that your current employer didn’t apply your heuristics to you, so you could close the door behind you.

Changing jobs is such a hassle, I suspect most people wouldn’t do it as often if companies were nice places to work with raises to match the market. But that’s harder to do than blame candidates and only hire those that appear to settle for less.
I don’t like to job hop. I hate change. I hate having to learn new people.

I’m the kind of person who has eaten the same breakfast since I was 13. I have 5 of the same shoe as I don’t want to have to find another new kind of pair. I like rules and consistency and knowing a system well.

But if I don’t, I will end my career millions of dollars poorer.

Essentially as soon as I am comfortable in an org, I have to leave unless I want to forsake a big chunk of money.
The other major factor: exporters from foreign countries don't want to exchange real goods with Zimbabwean dollars. However, all countries in the world want to exchange real goods with American dollars or Euros. That's the advantage the EU and the US have. Hence, the US can face less risks with printing money (or adding zeros in electronic account) than, say, a third world country like Zimbabwe, India, Ghana, etc.

Lets call a properly measured inflation I. Let I_z, I_usa be inflation of Zimbabwe and USA respectively. The first derivative of I increases faster in third world countries than in those countries with world reserve currency status: d(I_z)/dt >> d(I_usa)/dt. That's why the US likes to project military power, that's why the super wealthy class in the West support wars to project the power in order to control the first derivative of I.

I want to know how many Chinese newsletters on your platform? Could you help Chinese writer meet each other virtually?
No. They still need to be interpreted at runtime in unminified code, in order to determine that they are comments. This carries a cost; performance, sure, but more importantly it locks in a SWEEPING complex syntax change for decades which limits future language changes and significantly complicates the parser.

The fact that they by design have no impact on the runtime isn't really even a positive. That could be a large tactile benefit of this RFC; that suddenly JS is capable of communicating to its runtime what types different primitives are, such that the runtime can optimize their storage and usage. But, by design, they don't want this. Maybe that could change in the future, but I suspect it won't because the proposers have taken the stance that everyone minifies anyway so the syntax doesn't matter anymore.

An Ancient Frieze in Mexico Depicts a “Time Without Time”
This this this. "Exceeds expectations" gets you the B+ treatment, at best. Meanwhile, slacking off and doing the bare minimum gets you a C rating. Every year that I bust my ass with proven results, there's always some excuse in store for me and "well maybe things will be better next year," and the same customary 2-5% raise as last year.

Eventually I got bored, stopped trying, and still walked out of reviews with average or above-average marks and same pay bump. This is after getting talks from my manager about upping my game and narrowly avoiding a PIP.

If an employer wants me to bust my ass for them they need to make it worthwhile. If my work unlocks significant value (verifiable 6 or more figures) for the company then I expect more than a token amount of that to be sent my way.

SWE pay may be high but they use that as a cudgel to keep you from claiming value proportional to your contributions, and don't even get me started on the trap that is equity compensation
> But I can't fathom why seemingly no effort has gone into monetizing a chronological timeline. Why is it's foregone conclusion that it won't work with advertising the way the algorithmic was works?

That is, not my experience with algorithmic at all...
Algorithmic digs up days old posts I saw, commented and liked and slaps them at the front.. the new stuff, the stuff I'd want to see and interact with, just disappears.

But then maybe that's my fault for curating my timeline to show creators and not influencers/talking heads...
I must admit, that opening line did very little for me. Neither did the rest of the book.
This was my thought too (about the API part). From my experience, the TV app on Apple devices has a pretty good search and it shows you all the services a show or movie is available on- even the ones you aren’t subscribed to. For example, if I search ‘Modern Family’, it tells me I can buy seasons 1-11 on iTunes, watch seasons 1-11 on Hulu, watch seasons 1-11 on Peacock, watch season 1 on the ABC app, season 7 on the NBC app, and for some reason also watch specifically season 7 on 6 other apps (Bravo, Syfy, USA, among others).

I really doubt Apple has a public endpoint for these searches and data but I also have never really looked. The point is they’ve done the scraping; they have the data. If someone can leverage it and do the curation, I can see a really useful product.
> atop technology that requires more energy consumption than small countries.

Look, this argument is a narrow one against PoW chains. You can point out correctly that a large share of the market/money is on those, and maybe Ethereum will or will not switch at some point, but it remains an argument against PoW nonetheless. Go support artists selling NFTs on Tezos then.

> This is a solved problem: you pay them for their work, which is how artists have made money since time immemorial. The degree to which artists can make a living off their art is a function of demand and discoverability, not whether they have a payment system (they do need this, but they already have them).

Some digital art cannot be printed (i.e. videos). "Paint my portrait"-style commissions are undesirable for many artists. "Here is some money create whatever" style commissions run into the same problem that for digital art, in that it is not clear what the buyer actually gets. People are commissioning NFT artists! It's all good.

The attitude of "buyers don't need NFTs they can support artists another way" is strangely inverted. If you can convince more people to spend money on art in other ways, that's great. Meanwhile, /artists/ need to find a way to earn a living.

How many new art buyers will NFTs bring when the speculative dust settles? How much will artists need to adapt to cater to that audience (i.e. creating PFP style collections?). We do know that the number is > 0.
I have a Substack account and when I entered my email address in the app it said it was sending an email but it didn't show up until hours later.

By then, I had entered a different email address (I wasn't sure if I was incorrectly remembering which address I used), and it created a new account for me with that address. The authentication email for the second address arrived very quickly.

When the email for the first account finally showed up, I tried clicking it so I could log into my previously-existing account. It didn't work because I was already logged in with the new empty account. And when I logged out of the account and tried again, it didn't work because (I think) the link can only be used once.

I've tried entering the correct email address again and am now waiting for the email to arrive. Just some feedback on how this process has worked for me! The email address that had problems is a yahoo address, and the one that didn't have problems is gmail, in case that matters.
What you say about information warfare is certainly true, but one would be a fool to think only Russia does it.
