Its more the geometry of the process than the rate of failure. The post is just saying, "if the rate were constant". Basically, throw a dart at a wafer. Wherever the dart hits, the whole circuit/chip containing that point is now worthless. Assuming you threw the same number of darts (failures) at a board with a smaller chip, and a board with a large chip, the larger process wafer loses more total silicon (as a percentage of usable area).

With smaller chips, you have a smaller "grid" for your dart to land on. So the total number of failures (darts) being the same, you still end up with less usable silicon, since the bigger grid means you throw away a lot more surface area with a failure.

Take a look at this picture of a failure map, if you would like some visuals: https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S09521976120008...

I used to think that until my kids got to be 9+ years old and the negative effects of technology became very real. Not all technology is bad but it is hard to draw a line between good and bad. Impossible, IMO.
Mark was on Lexes podcast counter arguing against that. Any link? I'm really interested in the source material.
You only need to Google for it.

And yeah, I wasn't thinking of client certs for auth purposes. I assume that'll hide the encryption keys, so you need a proxy that can do its own exchange? I have no idea what support for that looks like, I've never tried.
I agree, I think the idea of a "written" interview is interesting and might be a good idea.

The problem I have with this is that there's not enough Canonical skin in the game. They have you do this before they invest any of their time in you. That means that if it takes you 20 hours to respond to all of these in writing, it's nothing from them to trash can your application. They aren't incentivized to make sure they're balancing the value they get with the time it takes to do it.

They're basically that person who orders the Lobster and several rounds of imported beer because somebody else is paying the tab. If it was on their dime they'd be a lot more reasonable.

At least, at a minimum, do this toward the end. Do the culture fit interview and the aptitude test first so a lot fewer candidates waste their time writing the book you asked for.
Right, but likely not needed.

If you made it through O&S and don’t like the game, then I think it’s safe to say that it’s not the game for you.

Game companies that do “boxed product” releases (eg. giant games that come out on a date announced up to years in advanced that make their money from up front purchases) certainly can be. My company makes Games as a Service games which makes things much less stressful. We ship the game every two weeks so if a feature isn’t ready it just ships two weeks later. The result can be (with the right team culture a much healthier working environment. I’ve had better work-life balance and more time to allocate to skills growth (both my own and to support that of my reports) here than I ever did in traditional tech.

You are twisting my comment and pretending I said something I didn't.

I didn't say float was enough to cover their operating costs. I said insurance companeis can and often do run for long stretches in which premiums do not cover claims. Float is the way this is accomplished. If an insurance company goes long stretches in which premiums do exeed claims, customers will begin to turn away. Interest on float is free money and therefore float has value regardless of how small the returns. These companies want as much float as possible and offering favorable terms to their clients is a great way to increase total available float.

I am almost 100% with this article and would often go even further, and I absolutely agree that marginalized people are going to be disproportionately affected. However, there are a couple assertions that seemed a bit dubious. For example:

> Danielle Blunt, a queer-identified sex worker with a master's in Public Health who’s spent time observing the phenomenon, notes that she’s seen Instagram ban hashtags like #femdom and even #women—while #maledom remains available.

I’m not exactly a porn or sex work connoisseur, but my immediate first thought is that I’ve actually heard the term “femdom” but never maledom. Of course, that could just be a lack of understanding on my part, but at least a cursory search seems to agree: femdom is a dramatically more popular term. I searched both on Google (which is a nice thing to have sitting in my search history, I’m sure) and moved a couple pages back to hopefully grab a more accurate result count, and got the measure 1,880,000,000/22,200,000 = 84x more popular. Exactly why is unclear, but my guess is that maledom is more often lumped into the larger BDSM umbrella and not distinguished. I suspect many popular BDSM terms that are not gendered are also blocked.

Of course, I could be wrong. I don’t have an instagram account, so I can’t verify how often these terms are used on such websites even if I wanted to.

Still, it goes on to continue draw this sex puritanism as being firmly gendered, but I think that this is not a result of Silicon Valley’s weird obsession with puritanism. Rather, the reason why some non-explicit sexual content is allowed and other non-explicit sexual content is not runs a lot deeper than just SV companies, and is the result of the general culture we have for what is “safe” and what is not safe. This is definitely 100% for sure biased, but that was never not the case, and certainly not an invention of Twitter or Instagram. Tumblr’s infamous “female-presenting nipples” line definitely is insultingly stupid, but its insulting stupidity rooted in deep American traditions of having double-standards.

If you disregard our bizarre cultural inequities regarding what sexual content is “safe”, what remains is a very clear issue: payment processors and advertisers (and some other gatekeepers, like the App Store) yield immense control over the entire modern Internet. I don’t even think it’s necessarily an issue with Silicon Valley specifically.

I was really hoping cryptocurrency would help provide a balance, but instead it looks like the primary function of cryptocurrency is to launder money and provide another place to gamble. Unfortunate, but oh well.

Yep, trying to improve voicemail is the wrong product approach, it’s like trying to improve the fax machine. You can, and some people still do for a variety of reasons that shouldn’t really exist, but it’s time has come and gone a long time again and we don’t need it anymore. You can do almost everything without it. On a personal level, I don’t leave them or even have access to my own. For businesses, table stakes should be online schedulers and ways to contact and get help (such as putting yourself on a queue for a callback). Having worked on “voice bots” and chat bots many of them, such as this use case, are a bandaid over existing tech interface issues imho instead of a real improvement since they introduce transcription and natural language processing errors that wouldn’t be needed if the business just had a simple app or website.

If Proton just becomes the "game runtime" for Linux, that's OK! It's still open source. There may come a time when Proton compatibility becomes as important or even more important than Windows compatibility for game developers. Not only might game developers start explicitly supporting Proton, they could even contribute fixes upstream, unlike with Windows.

Ultimately if it becomes popular enough, Proton could execute the embrace, extend, extinguish strategy on Windows itself. We'll know it succeeded if one day Microsoft gives up NT kernel development in favor of shipping Linux/Proton, just the way they ultimately gave up on Trident and started shipping Blink/Chromium. Today Windows is a relatively small and shrinking percentage of Microsoft's revenue so maybe it's not out of the question in a decade or two.

Ah, yes. Program blocks with a dialog to ask if you want to save. Windows puts a giant fullscreen message saying a program is blocking shutdown. And the only way to click the dialog is to abort shutdown altogether. And then when you click don't save, the program doesn't close anymore because the system isn't shutting down anymore. Great UX...
Thanks for the reference, bookmarked! I think this might be too much for current practice goals, as I'd like to practice architecture that would enable me to create somewhat flexible GUIs and then to attempt to optimize it for cache.

I like the todo.txt concept and have given it a go for a while, most recently using the really nice frontend UI "Sleek". I ended up moving away due to the limited functionality of todo.txt as a whole. I needed to be able to add simple notes to my todos at times and it's just not possible or easy to accomplish this basic need with todo.txt.
Ah, didn’t know that was a thing. Not unlike Stadia?

Yes, I'm aware. These were nuclear capable, not nuclear armed, hence my statement.
I maintain what is probably the most popular Ethereum simulator (Ganache) and it uses the npm ecosystem.

Years ago I chose to pin/lock all dependencies, even transitive dependencies (direct dependencies' dependencies) to much disagreement from the semver purists.

Crypto developers are extra high value targets because they likely access their wallet from the same machine they develop on. So I've taken a very hard stance on this, even feel we should do even better by disallowing updates for new releases (I realize adequate security here is not practical/feasible for most).

To make matters worse: devs often install npm packages with sudo (and I have a canned response for sudo related issues telling them that they must now format their drives to fix it, and even that might not be enough as their bios and other embedded firmware could also be compromised).

Meanwhile, yarn, a popular npm alternative, will NOT respect a package author's wishes to lock transitive dependencies. It's maddening (don't use yarn until/unless they fix this).

The only time a dependency shouldn't be pinned is if you are also the author of that dependency.

Anyway, people would say I'm fun at parties, but they stopped inviting me long ago.
Most definitely not the norm. In fact this is borderline absurd even by the prevailing trash heap of recruiter behavior.
As far as supply of parts relates to inflationary tendencies and in Intel's case that lack of Chip Making capacity is directly related to Intel's decision to pursue Share Buybacks instead of investing in new Chip Fab Capacity and Chip Fab Process Node R&D. So the entire semiconductor Industry needs to be analyzed for Proper Investment in Chip Fabrication capacity relative to Share Buybacks and how that affected the current Chip Supply-Chain/Inflation rates. So in circa 2014 Intel Mothballed its Fab 42 Chip Fab at the Building Shell stage sans any of the equipment purchases which Intel deferred to pursue a share buyback strategy. So this corporate policy needs to be accounted for as a policy that has exacerbated the inflationary tendencies of many products' supply downstream of Intel/Other semiconductor suppliers.

Now the Pure Play Foundries(TSMC, GlobalFounderies, Others) need to be analyzed as well for any similar behavior but TSMC's in Taiwan and less beholden to a strict fiduciary requirement to Increase Shareholder value at the cost of all else(Investment towards the Future).

So these industries influence on the overall supply chain of consumer products is rather more leveraged now than it ever was in the past what with the supply of every new device, including Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, so dependent on the supply of Chips(Microprocessors and ancillary Devices). Look to the recent auto industry/other chip supply chain woes and that's more than just money supply related this new high inflation cycle where every product includes some form of microprocessor chip and related components like VRM(Voltage Regulator Modules) and other components without which any microprocessor will not be able to function.

The entire economy is rather more beholden to the chip supplies and chip production capacity issue and that of Corporate Policy in the US especially but also the rest of the world. I mentioned Intel because Intel still retains its own chip fabs while AMD has become like others a fabless semiconductor company. But AMD currently has just announced a second round of share buybacks and how will that affect AMD's investments in its future is yet to be seen. But this entire process of share buybacks at the cost of investments in the future needs to be examined and from a perspective of how that's helped exacerbate the current round of inflationary tendencies via the supply of a very vital product in the world's economy the Microprocessor/Ancillary components.
That list isn't really an accurate picture of the world, but a vague attempt to make sense of the madness.

There's plenty of cores that don't follow that versioning scheme, and it's not an Intel or AMD construct.
While this was not stated in the linked post, other sources said it will be limited to x86 chromebooks that run 11th+ gen Intel CPUs or equivalent.

That basically limits it to models that cost >800$ making it a very niche product.
If you have a mostly 2d UI in mind, you might to from something even simpler than opengl, like SDL or raylib - anything that lets you out pixels on a screen.

My personal experience is that starting developing in opengl always ends up wasting hours getting the right libs installed to get potentially full 3d GPU acceleration - which might be beyond the point if you want to draw stuff.

Casey muratorri is spot on in saying that not having a single, simple, unniversal and basic API to "open a window and draw pixels" is what we lost the most during the 90s.

Anyway, try to bypass the not-interesting-to-you parts, and have fun !

Maybe we could expand Unicode based on lessons learned from Markdown/typesetting & the formatting characters could be added as non-printing characters. Visibility could be toggled with other whitespace characters.

Exactly. Years back when I was more naive about how things work, I would do the 4 to 8 hour challenges they would send me. After a few of those and getting responses like, "we're sorry but this position is now filled" (an hour after I submit) or "we're sorry but we've decided not to fill this position" I realized that a complete lack of respect for my time is actually an important and powerful signal about what it will be like to work for them. They don't mind stealing my weekend from me in bad faith (when they already had someone they wanted to hire), so I doubt they would mind working me into the ground.

Once I started looking at the interview as a two way process (I'm evaluating them as much as they're evaluating me) things got a lot better.
Very nice. That’s a great write up. I’ll add a link to my post.
Two thoughts.

1) Good, simple politics. Protecting kids from predators is about as cut and dry an issue as you will ever find. Harry Potter vs Voldemort might be a more complicated moral issue.

2) I suspect that a few very well connected activists in the Bay Area have made it their life's work to get CSAM tools on sites.

Ashton Kutcher and his organization Thorn [0] are probably the best example of this. Thorn is an interesting example because it has been VERY good at making its case in the non-tech media e.g. [1], [2], [3] and in front of congress [4]. It should be said, Thorn makes technology that helps track down child exploitation and has had some great results, which deserve plaudits.

Ideas are the shackles of the neuro-facists (superior intelligence should get away with all things) for the stupid. To not accept any concept or idea, but that of power, could be interpreted as resistance to a eternally explained away opening scissor of redistributed wealth in a society.

Take also the tendency of intelligence to produce ever less scientific break-troughs producing surplus for all and ever more parasitism (Encapsulating companies predating on established industries), a not "hackable" aka anti-intellectual resistance might be all that remains.

Parasitism is also a large "topic" in fascism, be it redistributing parasitism (left bureaucracy), lawful parasitism ( citizens exploited by law-constellations) or
plain anti-semitism, which todays miracolously onaires escaped - for now.
Cough* social engineering cough for the rescue.

Another large topic is "walling off" against the "stranger". As the unlearned are in a much harsher competition against the other unlearned, a walled of society to reduce that competition is preferred.

Also a recurring topic, is past injustice, which justifies current and future injustices, perpetrated. It really is just a falling apart of any semblance of intellectual problem solving, into a tribal mindset, taken for a ride by a miserable counter-elite.
