Yes they do, but the question is should they? What role should they be playing?
1. Krebs corrected the story. Twice. You just have to open the original article to see it.

2. The "Ubiquiti sucks" mood started with Ubiquiti releasing shit products with even shittier software that, quite incredibly, sometimes even degraded with updates.
Yet another middle man stating that crypto is not the way to go. Of course they are going to say that, they lose their 1% transaction fee.
> It does make me feel a bit cynical about organizations that claim to hold values of transparency and accountability, though. It seems to me that cliques form regardless, and quietly influence direction regardless of any alleged corporate values.

Indeed. It takes good leadership to recognize the problem in the first place and to keep up on combatting it (e.g. actually checking if people keep their notes on a centrally managed system).
Methamphetamine isn't addictive? I realize that the war on drugs really skews perspectives, so maybe I'm way out of touch, but I'm _pretty_ sure it is extremely addictive. Can you provide some citations please?

It's kind of clean in that it uses a URL based on a db value instead of the filename on disk, but it's still got CMS-specific junk in that it always starts with "/system/" (at least in D7, I haven't explored it in D9).
This is the one thing I hate about software. I don't want to have to re-learn how to use a re-invented wheel every couple of years. I just want to use robust, time-tested tools to solve problems, like in virtually every other field of engineering.
Trying to be charitable I think what they mean to say is “people with medically untreated ADHD who have been managing their symptoms with structure and routine finding their strategies failing in a new environment they have less control over.”
It seems to me that doing things on demand with no regard for purpose should be the domain of machines, not humans. Of course, robotics isn't yet advanced enough to allow us to meet that ideal in the physical world. But in the software world, the demand for programmers that merely crank out glue code, without understanding or caring about what it's for, should shrink, if it's not already.
If you were trying to get a job in a Chinese workplace with chinese coworkers that spoke chinese, taking a chinese IQ test would be a great predictor of success in that group. Doesn't mean you'res 'stupid', but my giant english IQ would be useless reading docs and taking meetings if they were all or majority in chinese.

Dan Luu impact at Wave.com is noticable already. Since he joined in March, Wave is pushing one great blog post per week (in contrast to 1 in 2021, 0 in 2020 and 3 in 2019).

I tried creating this culture of blogging but failed, would love to hear strategies that worked to achieve this.
Aww man, I'm going to have to watch that again tonight. True story: in one of my tech jobs me and my boss had a game to try to get Monty Python quotes into meetings. In a client meeting I talked about search engine behaviour and how you don't want the search engine to just return any old results like "I found this spoon" (Life Of Brian). My boss nearly fainted trying not to laugh. Nobody else got it.

I'm responding directly to what the whistleblower was alleging and they really didn't support an argument of their case. "I have damning information" doesn't mean anything without explaining more clearly what the damning information actually contains. Since they didn't I just can respond only to what the whistleblower wrote, and they didn't make a good case. They did not connect that their personal experience turned into an obvious out-of-channel enrichment of the buyer or the Microsoft person in cash or in kind. Asking your suppliers to reduce costs so that you can sell for the same price is normal, it happens in pretty much all industries. They are merely alleging that it was the path to nefarious acts.

If you go into the whistleblower's complaint and remove everything that is not his firsthand account there's shockingly little there around bribery. I do think that this individual has an HR legal case for being mistreated based on their writing but that has little to do with the alleged bribery. Reading an audit report that they didn't pen doesn't mean much and the findings could have been made right without their knowledge. Nobody goes back and marks findings on an original audit report 'fixed.' There is also a lot of jumping to conclusions. The only thing in the whistleblower post that I can see that they provided as concrete issue that they were firsthand involved with was a sum of $40,000 which is a great distance away from the $200 MM they are suggesting. If it was as prevalent they would have multiple transactions they were directly aware of and the sum would be much higher than $40,000. There is an assumption laden in the article that the only outcome for any discrepancy are bad actors enriching themselves instead of negligence or incompetence. Bringing in other cases where Microsoft was fined is irrelevant for the purpose of their whistleblowing, nobody cares about the other crimes we already know about we care about the crime you saw.

Too much of this sounds like a jilted employee on a PIP and not enough of it was just straight facts and clear cause for action. You don't need to craft a narrative, just whistleblow on what you saw.

This option was strange, because all other options don't compare concrete weigh but weight of objects.
Roads are usually a bit cheaper, yes. And we also have them already.
You could argue the reverse. A lot of leetcode questions are/used to be tests you've studied CS, and largely unrelated to day-to-day software dev (e.g. the infamous "invert a binary tree" question).

Therefore, they mainly ensured companies hired people from similar university programs that the test givers also attended.
I read it more as there being a mismatch in promises: the managers promised that their teams are held to high standards, and promised that they expect high competence from their reports.

If going in you believe your definition of high competence is aligned with your managers’, and then discover your manager actually meant “destroys more value than they create” as “highly competent”, I think it’s reasonable to place the blame for the misunderstanding with the manager. It’s true this isn’t necessarily the value-destroying person’s fault, but it is the fault of the manager in avoiding dealing with the fact that they have a report who hurts their team.

However as the article points out, once you realize this dynamic you can use your energy to work around the problem rather than spend effort that goes to /dev/null.
i can provide a comparison of sorts . cigs are harder to quit than adderall but caffiene is easier to quit than adderall . obviously im talking about prescribed doses.
It's frustrating in a way. Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I'd say my well graded Master's Thesis on a complex subject from a top university is much more telling about the type of work I'll create than an hour long leetcode interview will.

It seems no matter how many great projects I make, or quality papers I write, that's second best to 10 minute logic puzzles for a growing amount of companies.
If you aren't considering an abstraction with respect to a specific domain then there every single abstraction is lossy, not just the useful ones. You cannot transform state in any way without loss because, given enough effort, all properties of state are observable. This makes "lossy" a worthless descriptor using your approach.

Instead, I propose that we consider abstractions with respect to some problem domain. If you have states {null, notnull} then this is lossless but {null, notnull, top, bottom} is lossy.

I don’t understand how you can read that crypto donations are helping to feed Ukrainian refugee families and say “all crypto does is make money for the gatekeepers .. and profit off of war…”

More rigorous disciplines should then explicitly and loudly disclaim any relationship with those fields driven by agenda and sloppy methods, and the universities should disown them and kick them out from under their roofs.

It will not happen, though.
“It’s ok to punish people with unsavory political beliefs, because of the Russians”. Where have I heard that before?
C doesn't have a standardized ABI, either, and yet it's the most widely used ABI in the world anyway.

Just because it isn't standardized doesn't mean it isn't stable & relied upon anyway. Clang & G++ are ABI compatible with each other, for example, and more importantly (and relevantly) both libstd++ & libcxx strive to maintain ABI compatibility ( https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/abi.html & https://libcxx.llvm.org/DesignDocs/ABIVersioning.html )
>come out of a reputable pharmaceutical company

Please, name one of these reputable companies for me. One that does not push pills based on their bottom line but for actually improving the health of users. One that has not been known for rewarding doctors for pushing their pill over a competitors pill. One that does not have advertisments on TV/print/internet that talk about a side effect might be death, but still encourage random people to push their doctors.
From a different, Christian perspective: human-centered view of reality is defined by the Creator of humans. Who also deems that humans are responsible / stewards of all other living entities on the planet. So, not human-centric in sense of we determine our own reality, but is human-centric in that humans are placed in a position of responsibility.

"Go to the ant" means "learn from the ant" not "abandon human-like thinking and always see reality as the ant does" (human-centric) because God says to do so (not human-centric).
> We know that the single best predictor of job success and performance is IQ

I'm not sure a construction company wants a bunch of people with 140+ IQ standing around all day leaning on shovels waiting for gravel to shovel into little holes. I'm pretty sure those employees will just quit or break something on purpose just for something to do. In fact I've seen this with my own eyes.

Maybe you're proposing binning people by IQ instead? Where groups of people who fall in certain ranges of IQs are sorted into different jobs.

But again, I'm not so sure that Walmart wants to hire a shelf stocker with an IQ between 88-95 if that person has oppositional defiant disorder and/or a tendency to steal from their employers.

If you think that you can distill the essence of an entire human down to a single variable and rank them accordingly for jobs, go for it man, but I have a sneaking feeling that it isn't going to work.
I might personally deny them food, but I do not think the government should have the power to stop another consenting person to give or sell food to some based on their political belief.
Aruba has some 'instant on' units which might be a decent replacement but I don't have nearly enough experience with them to say for sure.

Interesting, by forcing http I get 100/100 with chrome on windows but the animation is not smooth (there is a pause at 69/100) and it definitely does not match the reference image (there are no colored boxes at all).
Does the fact it's already a problem mean it's ok to make it worse?
A sincere question:

Would it not then be helpful to support these new or temporary supply chains as a war effort? Shouldn't that fall under humanitarian aid?

Only in unity, the other major engine in the room still uses C++ for performance reasons.
Does it still require you to press a button to tell it every single time it's pointed at a new sheet of paper?

I'm waiting for one of these apps to monitor a video stream from a camera and automatically determine when a new sheet is ready to scan.

I already have a mobile app that can find the edges of the paper, crop it, and OCR all its contents. But it still needs me there as a human to tell it "the page you're pointed at now is one you haven't seen before" when that determination should be far simpler than doing OCR.

I'm waiting for the day I can aim my phone or webcam and just flip through a bunch of pages and have it scan each one as it appears. It doesn't have to be super fast like Data from TNG or Johnny Five from short circuit, I just want to go from "flip, press, flip, press, flip, press" to "flip, flip, flip"
I was cheating in War Thunder a year ago. Strangely enough, there were some players who could aim and hit targets incredibly far away just as well as I could, if not better. We’re talking tanks just a few pixels in size. There’s many cheaters.
Yeah, I'd find that more readable too. I aimed for something anyone could understand.
Adderall is not dangerously addictive at therapeutic levels. It's no worse than caffeine.
Could be just a timing blip for the unfortunate startups that are trying to raise at the height of the Ukrainian crisis and running out of runway, but for everyone else I don't see layoffs happening. Slightly deflated valuations perhaps, but I don't see funding drying out (for investors to provide financing or for customers to purchase products)
Computer Science departments have always said that they do not prepare students for work in IT [0].

As with most development team leaders, I have interviewed and employed CS graduates who are woefully unprepared for the reality of a job writing production-level code.

I don't see this as a condemnation of education per se. More that the common concept of education (that it prepares young people for their careers) is completely misaligned with academia's concept of education (that it trains young people in how to think, and how to conduct research).

I wish there was a laptop like device that runs Linux well and lets you seperate the keyboard and the monitor.

Every time I work with my laptop in a cafe, I would love to put the monitor a bit higher (on a stand or a book or something) while still be able to use my keyboard.

It's a shame, that the Microsoft surface things do not let you use the keyboard while it is disconnected.
> older sects of society still believe those signals exist.

I'm only in my forties but it's incredible how much this has changed in my lifetime.

I remember talking to an intern a few years ago and they made a comment about what a joke Columbia is (in regards to master's students). I was shocked because when I was a teen Columbia was seen as incredibly prestigious. I argued with them that Columbia is a really prestigious, well regarded school, but they and a few other interns just laughed and rolled their eyes.

Looking into it more it became obvious how this view had changed. It turns out Columbia, like many top tier schools from when I was a kid, has basically turned into get fancy version of a degree mill for master's students. Even though the school boasts some impressive faculty in many departments, it's also clear, based on the grads from there I have worked with after this conversation, that very little of that prestige is passed on.

As someone who used work in academia, it's wild how rapidly the entire system has decayed. From publisher or perish culture creating a mountain of non-reproducible work, to schools across the spectrum rushing to exchange credibility for cash. There have been so many systemic errors made that I don't believe academia will recover.

I suspect we'll see a fairly massive contraction in higher ed in the next decade or so.
> It probably does get used for spam quite a bit - relatively to gmail/outlook/etc., not in absolute terms that is

Not really, big players have the advantage that nobody is going to block them. Most of them spam regularly by thousands of letters before some automation of theirs triggers (or the spammer stops).
If CEO changes their mind, then they will look weak and indecisive. So they are unlikely to change their mind.

But I have recruiters in my circle and know stories where people challenged rejections and succeeded. All of them were lower level applicants. The hiring managers were overridden by HR or higher level managers. And this whole thing is so rare that whenever it happens I hear about it from my friends.
What about tests that only use patterns/shapes/rotation/etc?

Taking the next step on the quality nosedive -> cloud integration -> data breach was no great surprise, and Krebs didn't help them in that, sure.

Feels like I'm answering questions my 4 year old always asks me.
Is this really an AirPods problem or is it more of a Bluetooth problem?

Might have Gustaf said AirPods because, let's be honest, the vast majority of people with wireless earbuds in our field are using Apple AirPods?

AirPods are by no means perfect, but they're the least problematic out of many Bluetooth earbuds I had tried in the past (granted, I've yet to try the brand that sponsor so many YouTube channels as of late). Bluetooth in general is very problematic and, if you've ever tried working with any version of the Bluetooth stack, you'd have immediately figured out why. Even BLE, which is supposed to be more restrictive, is still complex and hard to understand. And let's say you've got Bluetooth itself figured out, now you've got to make sure you've handled operating system quirks. And yes, there are quirks. If you were developing for Bluetooth on Windows or Linux and decide to do so on macOS, you'll be surprised to find that your code, even when directly translated to Swift or Objective-C, won't just work as-is because macOS has different restrictions for Bluetooth that are hardly documented anywhere. Today, macOS forces you to use a generated UUID to identify a hardware device instead of a MAC address, yet as far as I can tell it's documented nowhere as to how those UUIDs are generated.

But I digress.

Bluetooth just isn't a good tech stack for ultra-reliable audio, especially duplex audio. It's just going to have interruptions and random disconnections and reconnections. The mic quality will almost certainly stink unless the host has a better Bluetooth chipset and the peripheral does some neat tricks that likely result in lag as a tradeoff.

IMO, you don't use AirPods for any sort of audio production, except maybe if you are using them to receive cues. You use a "real" wireless lavalier mic such as the Rode Go Wireless II, which doesn't use Bluetooth at all, sounds great, handles distance and interference really well (important if you are walking around on a stage), and has a built-in audio backup in case there's interference or connection drops.

But no one actually wants to pay for real audio equipment for some reason.

I wish that companies, in particular remote ones, make quality mics and lavalier mics easily available to their employees. Only one company I've worked for provided good headphones, but never has a company provided a microphone.
Right, as the point is to represent a physical document, paper and ink (or canvas, toner, whatever -- stuff that doesn't reflow).

Why anyone would use such a format for these situations, where the audience definitely cares way more about consuming it on an electronic device than printing it out, is... mind-boggling.

Of course, AI+ML to the rescue: Liquid Mode [0].

Yeah..... um, so I picked min max ranges which would accomodate 50-90% of something. The human one is probably a bit narrow. It was a manic day of googling. Trying to work out what one molecule of caffeine weighs nearly broke me.
I don't care for claymorphism at all. It does not look professional or interesting to me. It reminds me of The Sims.
I'm not sure, given their history of flat out lying / misleading in regards to product features, that Ubiquiti wants the same sort of reasoning to apply to their own misstatements.
