I'm trying to hire for a position right now and it has dragged on for months for two reasons:

1) WFH is now limited to 1 day per week, and a 3 month probationary period where new hires don't even get that.

2) Salary. It's still a job seeker's market and my workplace is not keeping pace. It's spec'ed for 3 years of experience but salary is about the median for a new graduate w/o professional experience. I'm happy to train someone but if I rework the job class to allow for new grads then HR will lower the starting salary. So, I'm hoping to find someone who's a new grad but had a part time job or internship or any other non-coursework experience the could be even the least bit argued as adding up to the required experience. (the position is basically a data wrangler / sql jockey / light analysis position, but it directly supports the main revenue-generating operations of the organization so there is real $$$ lost by having this position empty. ::Grrrrr:: end rant.)

That was a direct quote from Steve Jobs, except the last bit at the bottom. The whole point of the comment, I think, is how this goes against the old Apple ethos of encouraging non-conformity (to an extent).

Hm, I don't think you disagree with the author, whose definition of "tank" in the article is basically "vehicle whose primary purpose is to engage ground targets with a direct-fire cannon while keeping the crew alive" (as opposed to, in particular, vehicles whose primary purpose is to transport and give fire support to infantry).
> You have much more bargaining power about your work conditions as an organized union.

You also give away your power as an individual to those running the union.

I don’t really agree with the book but I always get annoyed with articles and studies that misrepresent the idea. It’s 10000 hours of _deliberate practice_.
Is that a quote from Jobs, or ad copy, or both?

100% this. My CSIO has been harping on this since 2018. I’ve been harping on this since 2019. Security vendors are JUST now starting to provide SCA offerings (software composition analysis, for those not in infosec).

Events like these don’t surprise anyone who’s been following this space. It’s been a rough ride that will get rougher. Consider:

1. NPM just recently started enforcing 2FA for some packages. The NPM has yet to support mechanisms like package signing. Post install scripts are still a thing.

2. Rubygems does not support package signing.

3. Go dependency management is a hot mess.

4. Clojure dependency management is still a hot mess.

Initiatives like Google’s SLSA will help here, but there’s a whole ecosystem of stuff across multiple technical ecosystems they need to mature, and fast.

The N4020 is the model of Celeron used in the 2021 Dell Chromebook. I'm seeing N3060, 2955U, etc.

The Pentium Silver N5000, which isn't badged as a Celeron, is still much slower on multi-threaded and single-threaded perf: https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-intel_pentium_silv...

The entire Snapdragon 865 package cost manufacturers $150-$160. The Pentium Silver N5000 retails for $90-100. The 860 would presumably be even cheaper than the 865.

> I think it's sad that we have an industry, where someone with six years' experience, is considered a "veteran."

What does it take to be considered a "veteran" in the military?

> The term "veteran" means a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service, and who was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable.

( https://www.va.gov/OSDBU/docs/Determining-Veteran-Status.pdf )

> Most first-term enlistments require a commitment to four years of active duty and two years of inactive

( https://www.military.com/join-armed-forces/making-commitment... )

A veteran is someone with experience. Why wouldn't six years of experience make you a "veteran"?
It was doubling somewhere between every 12-18mo while I was there (circa 2017). The growth was nuts.
I have the same feeling having seen family members in unions. My mother is a really hard worker, and plays by the rules, and that means nothing in her union while her colleagues abuse sick policies, push more work into her and so on. All what matters there is tenure, not the quality of employee you are. My takeaway is that she would be far more successful in a non unionized workplace because hers was definitely more beneficial for slackers.
Yep, I was just about to comment that this kind of decision is a lot easier to make when you have the fuck-you money that Goodfellow doubtless has.

"If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is."

Whenever someone only offers me one alternative, I get suspicious.

Street gangs as they currently exist in the US were created by the prison system, an arm of the state violence apparatus. Conveniently, they're also an excuse to increase police budgets. More policing, in turn, puts more people into prison.

I don't think that alternative is actually even an alternative.

The office is where the very expensive labs are.

For at least parts of Apple engineering, very expensive equipment and prototypes are under lockdown and too expensive to duplicate for WFH.

Individual accountants are not amoral. Accountancy, however 8)

No, this is the old saw about "money is the root of all evil" which is bollocks - it's "The love of money is the root of all evil" which is still bollocks but at least likely. So that's the motivation for the usual crap trolled out at accountants.

It is ironic (hypocritical?) that us lot on HN are familiar with the difference between a hacker and a cracker in IT terms and yet deign to decry accountancy.

The tools of your trade in accountancy can be used for both getting your books in order and with some additional thought and effort: fraud. The real world parallels are so obvious and if you happen to read Terry Pratchett, you will encounter the "Dark Accountants".

Accountants and lawyers are often seen as an expensive enemy/cost centre. The funny thing is that IT is often seen in the same way by everyone else, including accountants and lawyers!

So, kids: you might be able to fiddle up a cluster of webby funkiness. If you can't work out how to turn a profit from your coolness, you might need an accountant to do all the boring stuff like making money work properly.
Same scenario for me. I am on the USA. It looks like there is hiring freeze going on.

Honestly such people are extremely rare. The quote doesn't apply to the vast majority of employees at Apple. There are always going to be other talented people willing to take their spot.

There are two areas which I think are actively being researched but are interesting and could probably be improved by a masters level project.

One is the idea of separating multiple audio tracks. For example, if you have a MIDI file of two instruments, exported to WAV, it should be possible to train an AI to produce two WAV files that sound exactly like the individual instruments being played on their own. (Last time I heard a demo of this, it seemed like the AI hadn't built a good model for what the individual instruments should sound like, even though it should be possible to infinitely generate the training data).

The other is an AI for turning hand-written mathematical notation into a proper digital form (like LaTeX). Ideally you'd be able to give the AI a feed of a lecture, where notation was written on a chalkboard, and the output of the AI should be valid mathematical expressions. Bonus points if you can validate that the mathematical steps are correct (possibly by finding them in an existing corpus of mathematical steps).
This is as I understand it. (It's my blog post, BTW.)

As others have put it, it isn’t about a tank’s vulnerabilities but its capabilities. A vital distinction.

Horses were made (mostly) superfluous by lorries because the latter proved more capable.

Humans are excessively vulnerable. Anything will put us out of action. And we’re expensive to replace too. But because there’s nothing more capable than a human at certain things, so we’re still expected to face flying pieces of metal.

So far nothing can project force and hold terrain on land quite like a tank does. Javelin teams in buggies can’t. Neither can a drone. But a fast and protected box with a fearsome boomstick on one end does. Especially when used by well trained personnel and employed in a sane manner.
There already is quite a market of note taking and organizing apps and Markdown editors. How is this one better than the rest of them? I always am curious because none is actually perfect. For any given app in this genre I can suggest dozens of improvements. This means there always is a real chance another one is going to be better.
My main issue with the rule is that it calls pumpkin pie bent toast, when it is obviously a missing category of type (2) where instead of being disjoint like the sandwich, the 2 pieces of starch are connected at an edge. Likewise there should probably be a category of type (3) where all pieces of starch are joined at a corner and a category of type (4) where it’s like a type (5) but with one of the sides removed. I believe with those three additions all rotationally-unique cube configurations would be accounted for by the rule.
I thoughtfully write a list of things to do, which feels slightly similar to more procrastination, so it’s not that hard, then I order the list. Without any deliberation, I do the actions on the list. If any item seems too big or too complicated or I just don’t know how to start, I break it down into subtasks.

Ultimately, IMO, breaking through procrastination takes something like a mental muscle, that can fatigue, atrophy, and strengthen with use. Patience and persistence are key.

They are acceptable (we have 27), the problem is the high bar to enacting one. With our hyper-partisan two-party system, it’s really hard to get anything done.

I can vouch for this as I am the only east coast employee on my west coast team at AWS and I also have no expectation of moving to west coast or returning to office. I have spoken to managers on other teams around Amazon and flexibility is entirely dependent on your director/VP (the manager 1-2 levels above your group manager).

If you’re considering an offer from Amazon I suggest you make it very clear from the start to your hiring manager your expectations on remote work and working hours. Theres some teams at Amazon that are taking a strong return to office stance and others like
mine that allow for fully remote.

Animation is usually the biggest pain point with frameworks like this -- and it usually feels like a complete afterthought for framework designers. Of course you always have the simple CSS-style stuff (here's a list of properties you can attach transitions to) but as soon as you get into anything more complicated it all falls apart.
A 0% interest rate on debt is actually the ideal interest rate because it implies people save exactly as much as they invest.

The reason why a 0% interest rate on cash distorts the market is that it is inherently a government subsidy when the economy is declining temporarily.

> Wikipedia is not a democracy, it is a collection of oligarchies - small fiefdoms united under an umbrella organisation which give them the semblance of being democratic.

The argument could be made, that any human grouping/organization of sufficiently large size ceases to be a democracy and devolves into what you describe.

And in my own experience the tipping point is in the hundreds of individuals, not thousands or millions.
If I did start an open source project, I think I would do a very simple licensing that I have never encountered, like: "Dual licensing: Paid software now, and GPL starting 2032". I guess in the oss monetization list it is covered by "paid early access: Delayed open-sourcing".

The software source code is released day one, but it won't be a FOSS license until YEAR+N. The license switch will be automatic after the deadline.

That way I think I can have the best of both worlds: making sure development is paid (which is often necessary to sustain any large project) and any additional valuable development being be paid for, but also giving your customers the guarantee that they'll have an exit against vendor lock-in, and releasing in the long term to the FOSS community.

Basically I sell software normally, but commit to a future FOSS license at the same time. It's not unlike patents actually, at least what they should be.
