> I've never really understood how they got such a bad reputation.

Mostly for their business practices.

It seems like every ~generation in tech there's at least one big company doing shady abuses of their monopoly and pushing against anti-trust as hard as they can.

IBM did it for a while, 60s and 70s maybe, Microsoft was next, Google and Apple after that?

Usually the tech isn't the issue, it's how the companies throw their weight around.
Fwiw, I gave a much less important I/O presentation than this four years ago and I had to go through endless hours of prep/review/practice. I can't imagine they didn't rehearse it. Maybe they're just not great speakers? I doubt I am either.
meh... they'll pay you X then bring you in to decision making meetings where decisions are already made, but you get to decide which hours of unpaid overtime you'll work to implement their decisions in the order they demand ("we've already approved this quarter's goals!").

But hey, you were involved in the decision making process, right? You and everyone else gets to decide which weekends you'll work, or which quality corners you'll cut, and which tests you'll skip, which documentation you'll avoid, which security steps you'll ignore, etc. Just don't bother the folks above you with any of those details.
Hey there, this is actually a fully non-custodial, multi-chain wallet. We use some familiar Web2 patterns to derive the private key for the user, but it's fully non-custodial and never touches a remote server. Here's some more info on what we do under the hood: https://vesselpassport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/5616100...

Happy to share more details if helpful!
The question is: are these companies 'copying' or 'stealing'? Hopefully they can improve on things rather than just copying.
We use iPods in a B2B wholesale context.
The biggest advantages for us:

- Apple ecosystem

- long lifecycle of the devices

- standardised form factor for laser barcode scanner sleeves

- controlled environment in terms of OS versions and screen size variaty

- low price / costs for the users

What will Apple offer for B2B niche use cases in the future?

Their super bowl ad was also focused on fixing AI racism. There is surely a political and marketing aspect to this focus.
Vessel itself might not be a good example but there are other 'web3' wallets ([0] [1] [2]) that allow for authentication and digital payments that are, in my opinion, an order of magnitude easier to use than PayPal, etc.

If you're really interested in experimenting with this type of interface, I would recommend installing one of the more established wallets, like Temple [0], and using it to explore various websites in this space, like FXhash [3], Versum [4] or Objkt [5].

Happy to put some minimal funds in your wallet if you want to really explore, just DM me.

I would believe you if north face had the same collection every year.

I have a 17 year old jacket that I still use in the snow. But if all north face customers were like you and me they would be bankrupt.

The whole premise of these brands is fast fashion, every year, minimum of 4 collections, and millions of people throwing away good clothes to buy brand new shinny things.

Those are the customers they are making money on and that is where the carbon impact of fast fashion is.

Pretty sure the comment was about the video narrator pronouncing it "ek setera", not "et setera" or even "et ketera" (I counted 3 instances). And I agree, just like people who say "supposably[1]", it exposes somebody who isn't well read.

Not fair really to blame Greece. Everyone knew the euro was going to cause huge problems.
Romano Prodi (president of the European Commission at the time) : 'I am sure the euro will oblige us to introduce a new set of economic policy instruments. It is politically impossible to propose that now. But some day there will be a crisis and new instruments will be created'.
They wanted to use the problems they created to force through more centralisation.

Not sure I'd really call this a component of the OS. It is a new app that works with various shells (including cmd, powershell, and WSL) to create a better experience using them including tabbed view so you can have multiple terminals from a single window.
I had a terrible interview at Citadel. The interviewer basically messed up all the things that we as an industry have learnt not to do over the last 10-20 years. Not just the format, but it was adversarial, trick questions, he interrupted all the time, belittled my ideas, and was generally an unpleasant person.

I dealt with it by declining the offer I received and making sure to give feedback about that interviewer directly to the HR team and that he was a contributing factor. While considering the offer I enquired about whether he would be in my reporting chain and made it clear that was a dealbreaker for me.

Apparently the guy gave me the best feedback of all my interviewers. Why then did he need to be like that?!

I was replying to:

> A lawsuit is just a tweet with a filing fee

And not specifically discussing the South Butt case. The idea that lawsuits are just tweets with a filing fee (i.e. a way to spend money in a public forum to try and promote your idea of what's right) translates almost directly to a SLAPP suit.

You are quite accurate about the specific South Butt case - but I was trying to be more general.

I think you have a false dichotomy.

Slack and email are for talking to people who I'm not on the phone/video conference with or are away from their desk when I'm working. That is an orthogonal problem from the "Maker" tools you listed.

Jira is for specifying future tasks and goals, it's also an orthogonal problem to the tools you listed.
Yup! And it was no genetic accident. He practiced hard.
Sure, but for some odd reason, I happened to be attending a school in the Midwest where Windows 1.x was in use fairly early on. Of course, that same school district also had computers running CP/M, some Apple //s, and Macintosh computers.

I agree though that Windows probably hit its market stride around 3.x, especially with Windows for Workgroups which brought serious competition for Novell.
As an aside, it'll be interesting if the people pushing for taxing unrealized gains well now push for tax deductions on unrealized losses.

If you don't plan on using it in the browser, it has everything Mocha does and doesn't, like built in expect functions (mocha only provides the runner infrastructure).

Its also, as of late, really shown some innovation around testing, I think Jest 28 is a huge step in the right direction.

The only other fully fledged alternative I can think of is Jasmine (which, iirc Jest is actually a fork of?) but Jasmine isn't as well maintained and has no transform infrastructure.

Basically, unless you're just really happy with mocha, I think Jest gives you more flexibility, especially as projects / products grow overtime.

Jest is also better in monorepos IMO.
Definitely happy they are figuring out the skin tone stuff for search. Being able to search for skin conditions and hone in on skin tone efficiently has been a pet peeve of mine. Psoriasis, for instance, looks different on different skin tones.
No, you're just misunderstanding an exaggeration. It's just bafflement at how people seem to assume everyone just has a lawyer in the same way the just gave a GP.
Of course it's not just that pattern. There are others.

It does tend to exist and depends on the state. In the general election you still typically have only 2-3 choices for many offices at the state level. They tend to follow a similar two party paradigm and have a "Not that person" feel to some of them. Local elections have less personality involved in many areas simply because the person is less notorious and their positions are less well publicized.

I had the same conclusion: This team needs to get a dedicated TPM to act as a stress umbrella for the team. I tell my engineering team, if anyone is stressing you out, "pinging you" for things, asking you to set up pointless meetings, "escalating" things with managers, or anything else that sucks away your productivity, please redirect them to me and I'll handle these annoyances. If software developers are distracted by stressful bullshit, then I'm not doing my job.
Hmm. "All users should experience the page linearly because some do" is not really an argument that works.
IMO a bureaucrat shouldn't be able to put an institution in debt.

This sounds strict, but think about it: every single company I've seen (correct me if this is biased in the wrong direction) doesn't allow just any employee to take out a loan. Heck, even the CEO can't just go to the bank and take out a loan if the collateral are assets/equity in the company - the board needs to approve that.

Why would we allow someone who's tenure is basically guaranteed to be <5 years to take out loans?

I know this sounds like a non-answer but maybe it's that simple: a specific institution/bureaucrat can't take leverage. The central govt can take out loans and increase budget to hand out.

It's classic whataboutism and a deliberate failure to acknowledge context. I've noticed that a lot of folks on the right ignore context whenever possible.

And of course by typing this out I'm inviting them to say "how dare you I'm not right wing I just use their talking points and tactics and agree with their positions". Ok they won't say the last bits.
The other comment didn't give for why a 10m:250k ratio is wrong either though. The argument that the 10m is only enabled by the rest of the company is a reason why it isn't i 1:1. What should the ratio be? Why would it necessarily approach 1:1?
There are actually around 2,000 VFX shots in the film, but I think they really nailed the mix between practical and VFX in a way that makes the sum of the parts greater.
That sounds like a pretty nihilistic psychiatrist (which I'd note is different from what I'd understand a therapist to be - therapists are psychologists, psychiatrists are medically trained). Therapists aren't just for irrational or subconcious emotions. It can help enormously to talk over your reactions to a terrible situation you're in and see if there are other paths for your feelings.
If people are having issue with big techs like Google I can't even fathom what is happening to developer working from Asia and China where 996 is practiced. In many country the starting salary is 200 USD per month without any benefits or 401k that we find in United States.

I don't understand why companies do this to their staff. Why hoard money at expense of someone's life? Why Execs don't understand that they are the main problem of downfall?
The advantage is not with the developer but with those (capable of) making the better offer.
> since I generally think people should be allowed to risk their own lives as they see fit.

But what if your life was in danger because of this. Because it is, even if the risk to you and your loved ones is low, it is not zero. If there was good reason for accepting this risk, that would be one thing. But there simply is no other rational reason than thrill for flying a small plane around for a few hours and landing in the same place. Someone's else's right to thrill does not eclipse my right not to be assaulted by harmful sounds, my right not to breathe harmful chemicals, and my right to not to be killed by a crashing plane.
This is also a nice reminder that profiling tools are important. And Go's profiling is quite good in my opinion.
I also find that the stress and the promo process creates an environment where people are aholes to each other, but using Googler Norms of social combat.

I think tech in general is kinda stagnating at this point. We've plucked all the low hanging fruit, to get new revolutionary things will be much more slow going from here.
Decontenting products and offshoring is how American manufacturers maintained margins over the past thirty years.
100% agree with you that the fees are really substantial when you start to pay attention to them. I guess when you are invested in a particular property and already dropping $2,000, it's easy for them to tack on another $400 without a lot of people questioning it.

On your second point, I think a lot of this has to do with the price point you are renting at.

My experience - I'm usually staying with a group of people at a relatively expensive property as a vacation/splurge, and I've never had anything less than a 5 star stay. I'm pretty choosy in reading reviews (but don't expect someones' home to be as spotless or perfect as I expect a hotel to be) - nonetheless my expectations are always met on Airbnb.

On the flip side, I've seen comments like this one from guests who have been deceived or disappointed, and also chatter among Airbnb hosts renting less expensive properties complaining about the constant stream of problem guests they have. There's a particular host on TikTok I occasionally get served who talks about her hosting experience and she's constantly dealing with issues (and as a result, micromanaging her guests.) Downward spiral.

Are several memory copies and context switches free for you? They are most expensive operations on modern hardware (yes, I know about splice syscall in Linux, but it is Linux-specific and don't avoid context switches).
I think, on very high-end modern storage subsystem (like, stripe built out of several enterprise-grade NMVe SSDs) impact will be well-measurable in case of simple "wc".
It seems reasonable that if someone is in a two person cessna they probably have some additional flight exposure, right? I wouldn't know anything about most of that stuff... but I could probably figure out some of it in the moment just because of my technical bent. A lot of my founder friends are pilots, and were able to adapt pretty quickly... so maybe it's one of those things?

But then the engineers at the successful company can't capture a significant amount of the value that company makes, because the rest of it has to go back to investors to make up for all the other companies they funded that 'overpaid' engineers and failed.

I wonder how this would generalise. Especially on VR.

I have a VR headset, and have played through Half-Life Alyx and a bit of zombie mode in Pavlov VR. My first headcrab in Half-life Alyx was horrible. I panicked, forgot which button to press to release the magazine, fumbled the insertion, forgot to load the gun after having inserted the magazine… but by the end of the game, those head crab didn’t trigger any fear, only a reflex of pulling out the gun, pointing, shooting, and reloading quickly became a reflex. Oh, and I became much better at quick aiming. I’m no speed shooter, but I do land a couple shots per second.

Then I tried Pavlov VR. First the shooting range to get used to the slightly different mechanics. And then the zombie mode. This time the zombies were fast. And what do you know, I panicked again. Though I didn’t fumble with the reload this time (I had no spare magazine), and my aiming was okay, I massively overshot.

That’s when I thought that people who unload their entire charger really aren’t necessarily vengeance driven bloodthirsty warmongers. They may just lack training. Anyway, I trained a couple times more with the zombies, and it got better.

Here’s the thing though: I now have trained VR games to shoot at moving humanoid targets, some of which shoot back, some of which just try to close in to melee range. So now I wonder: if all goes to shit and I’m handed a loaded gun, and suddenly 3 angry people with knives close in on me with visible killing intent, what are the chances that my VR training may cause me to shoot them in the heart by reflex, instead of panicking, running, or negotiating?

How far pure video game training can go?
Why only offer easy visas for EU engineers? There are good engineers in all countries around the world, EU engineers are not some special breed of engineers.
It's probably because the new products are really incremental improvements over some niche. There's nothing wrong with that either. I don't expect that a company would churn out groundbreaking products year over year -- I certainly wish so, though, as it means new problems to tackle, more meaningful projects to work on, and more demand of engineers in the industry.
if you don't mind trying languages other than js, might I suggest phoenix's liveview? Its past what meteor could ever accomplish

here's the basic operating model.

you have a controller but unlike a typical web controller, you are rally controlling the lifecycle for a long lived server process thats specific to the user in a session. you get callbacks for the startup where you can load data structures into the session. You also have functions that let you write frontend components from the backend similar to server side react.

Here's where it gets interesting. The frontend maintains a long lived websocket connection. if you change a piece of data on the backend, the frontend will automatically update to reflect the changes. additionally, you can set event triggers in your html that trigger server side callbacks from which you can update that server side data.

so you might be asking yourself, "big deal, meteor does that"

The big deal of course is that you're using elixir, a mostly functional language with immutable data structures and concurrency abstractions that make node look amateur hour. Spawning thousands of one off short lived persistent sessions, one for each user, that each have a websocket connection is a trivial task for the beam virtual machine that phoenix runs on. Scaling the backend for this is trivial compared to ding it in node which is what meteor is doing. The underlying platform is just a better fit for what meteor is trying to solve. Every thread has its own heap of memory and is isolated from others. You have no such guarantee in meteor unless you dedicate an entire OS process for each user, a task that will be expensive and nontrivial)

of course, its a backend process. so phoenix liveviews can also do a few other interesting things. need to upload an image or perform a background task? have your callback send its process id to the background worker and the background worker can send a message back to your session enabling you to update your session data. the frontend will automatically reflect the change. by comparison, tailing mongodb's oplog is child's play. If you can have your data source emit events on changes, you can plug it into elixir's pubsub system and accomplish the same reactivity in a live view.

Oh yea, and fly.io already works with both meteor and live view's limitation of needing the physical machine to be close to the users for keeping the latency down.

Adding those features doesn't mean you have to start using them for everything. This is different from how they work in the JVM or CLR- their role in WebAssembly is to enable interop with the host (which already has them regardless), and to round out some of the capabilities that native code has but which can't be implemented efficiently on the current WebAssembly sandbox.

I don't see how that harms WebAssembly as a lightweight cross-platform target. It may make it more difficult to implement, but AIUI there will always be room for simpler hosts that leave these features out or keep them simplistic. There is no equivalent ecosystem problem to adding these kinds of features to a language, where all your dependencies will start using them, any more than inherently exists for native code that can already just implement those things itself.
None of your analogies make any sense whatsoever.

What does a President having "skin in the game" mean? That is the kind of talk you would make when talking about an investment. From the perspective of a sovereign nation, it's currency is not an investment. The goal of a currency isn't to provide maximum returns for people who hold that currency. In fact, from the perspective of a sovereign nation, an ideal currency is one that depreciates in value in a controlled manner. The fact that cryptocons don't even understand this simple fact is remarkable.

The NBA is a zero sum organization. There can only be 1 winner, and everyone else will be a loser. 1 team getting better than the others strictly means that the other teams are worse off. Nations and the world economy do not operate in a zero sum environment. Ukraine being attacked by Russia means nearly every country that relies on its produce and output are worse off. This is unlike the NBA where if suddenly every player in the Warrior's lineup got injured today, every other team would have a better chance of winning.

> 0 percent chance they had before their crypto actions.

Citation needed really really badly. There's a million things countries can do to improve their wealth. The one thing that is not gonna help them is investing in a speculative and highly volatile asset like crypto currencies.
States have been forced to surrender quite a few privileges and legal domains - the existence of state autonomy exists, by design, merely in the space not occupied by national policy. I was trying to clarify that I advocated for a specific national law with limited scope to precisely unify national policy on a particularly terrible legal loophole - as in retrospect I thought my comment could be incorrectly read as advocating for abolishing state courts and jurisdiction specific laws in general.
