Eng manager here. Honestly not everyone is sold on remote being better much less equivalent in productivity or output compared to being in an office. Remote also requires a lot of rethinking of team dynamics, work allocation and just plain old making sure stuff is done. Make no mistake, WFH may be arguably better and more pleasant from the employee perspective, but it makes projects more difficult for the rest of the company.

Yeah we're not all amazing managers that can make it work and sometimes we do need butts in seats. But also a lot of times, the ICs are slackers, loafing around, lying on tickets, getting bogged down and not speaking up, some need pair programming, some get lonely, some get emotional and miss their team, some have bad home lives and office setups.

But yeah sure, blaming it all on evil companies and their supposed sunk cost fallacy investments into real estate is the easy answer, so let's do that.
You're right. The first poem is complete nonsense as expected. The second poem first half could be absolutely fascinating, but completely devolved into nonsense too.

This Interview is a Mistake: A Conversation with R.U. Sirius
This was also my experience at one of the “prestigious” consulting firms I endured working at for a year. It took me three months just to proceed and navigate through all of their ridiculous hurdles during recruitment.

Out of all of the positions/firms on my CV, that one seems to carry the most weight to recruiters and other companies, despite it being the time where I did the least productive work in my life (So much so that when I was asked why I was leaving during my exit interview I straight up said “I’ve gotten dumber since working here.”)
>The sooner we collectively decide that housing shouldn't be a market

Then how would you recommend houses trade ownership?

>so developers are incentivized to build more housing

How do you prevent the development of shitboxes (it's a technical industry term)? Because that's what builders build when they need to hit a particular price point at scale. Houses that are quickly built out of low end materials and will decay over about twenty year period unless a homeowner invests considerably in upgrades.

>one shouldn't be "priced out" of the home they've lived in for 20 years

I'm in full support of the concept, but when you start to look at the causes of this, it gets complicated quickly and many of the causes aren't even directly related to housing. It's not just as simple as property tax moratoriums.
>"type cp filefromyada toyada and press enter"

so hit the 't' key, followed by the 'y' key ,,, followed by the enter key to copy this file. While this is a trite example, how many linux how-do-I-do-this's get resolved with copy this command with half a dozen flags[0] into your terminal?

The underlying problem with CLI is they lack information about the underlying structural logic and discoverability about the interaction. This makes it hard to impossible to extend 'copy this file' to 'open this file', or 'make this file read only'. In a (decent) GUI once 'left-click select' 'double-click open' and 'right-click options' is understood the rest is spelled out. Unlike with a CLI, where one needs to remember 'ls'[1] there are only two buttons on a mouse.

I absolutely agree GUI changes - especially paradigm changes - are a plague though.

[0]Which invariably seem to have a different obtuse formatting from the last command I had to copy.

[1]Which stands for what anyway?
Pretty much everyone who has ever interviewed with Facebook got that email last week, heh
> The work environment is laid back, 40 hour weeks & rarely any expectation of going over that so there can be a very good work/life balance

There are quite some countries where Jo Average would see 40h working week as monsterous. Or were 40h workweek might even be outlawed.
Send email, they don't always see these comments. Just almost always ;D
Though many of the patrons still enjoy the various demos, tech reels, and developer videos coming out (ex. the comment below me), so it feels like these are the actual product rather than the game itself.

It’s weird, how you can get so attached to something that you start to forget what really attracted you in the first place.

I was pissed because I didn't invest in my portfolio to buy a house during the pandemic and missed out on pandemic gains - but checking how much money my portfolio lost, I made more money to keep those in cash.
Lol. I’ll gladly made a 5-10 year wager if you’d like :)

Meaningful amount of money, too.

I don't think aphantasia matters here.

I don't have a visual representation of the keyboard in my mind at all, but having touch typed (imperfectly) since high school, I can tell when I mistyped a key by feel too (eg. not looking at the output on the screen either, your muscle memory will let you know if any movement was awkard or unexpected).

FWIW, it's important to learn where the "corrective" (backspace, delete, cursor movement...) keys are on your keyboard while looking at the output: then you can easily push yourself to not look down on the keyboard while practicing.
The IBM webpage only covers a few of the JCL DD parameters.

There are more at pp. 486ff in Doug Lowe, MVS JCL (1994) here:

http://library.lol/main/6784CBC9EE9BBA5AD26993F497514661

It's still a rather rough fit, though I'm still pretty sure the connection exists.

Keep in mind that Unix dd dates to the early 1970s, and JCL itself may have evolved.
I'm not sure I would recommend this for kids. It seems quite abstract and children often have a hard time with abstract thinking.

The course starts off with seven lessons on tooling and JavaScript fundamentals before you actually do something in lesson 8. That's a lot of theory to process.

Hey man I just want to let you know you come across as EXTREMELY unhinged.
Got it in one. It was the only division I was interested in, they reached out to me, and I made that extremely clear upfront. There were already 6 other offers on the table and having been through Apple's fairly exhausting process before, didn't want to waste time interviewing for a team at the wrong level in the stack.
The scene in the boardroom where the analyst says, “well, that’s where it becomes more of a projection” then looks sheepishly over at the two VPs.

A side note, but a university network blocking VPNs, that's ridiculous! Uni IT should really be hit over the head with a clue bat. I mean what is the motivation for this?
Ha ha. It did finally reach that old "peak" again, but I guess it took some 30 years :) A little over 10% for 30 years of patience.
They aren't ordering it. Let's use a much simpler thing, the pair of numbers is 1-4. That gives us only 10 possible combinations. The product person says they don't know the answer. What do we know?

So if I told you the product of two numbers (positive integers) was 3, you immediately know 3 is prime and therefore the numbers are 1,3. Therefore either they cannot say they don't know if they were told 3. We can go through every combination and find what possibilities they could be.

Well, it cannot be 1,1 or 1,2 or 1,3 because those produce products of 1, 2 and 3 because they don't have any other pair that can generate them. The same is true of 2,3 which is the only way to get six or 2,4 the only way to get 8. And 3,3 or 3,4 which are the only way to get 9 and 12. And lastly 4,4 is the only way to get to 16. You'll note that this is almost all pairs which is easy to iterate over by making the second number greater than or equal to the first. The only pairs left are 1,4 and 2,2 both of which produce a product of 4. So we, as the sun person, now know the product must be four. Given the product and the sum, we can deduce that it's 1,4 because we were told the sun was 5.

When it goes to 100, it's the same process. Except now I have to iteratively eliminate pairs until there is only one solution.
I've helped some older people and found the same. The command line gives some users more confidence. Hearing that "the computer does exactly what you tell it to", but "it's dumb, so you have to tell it very precisely" is more empowering than being expected to click around and figure out how things work.
They are begging - pleading people to stay in the expensive, crime ridden, and increasingly irrelevant cities. I can only guess some national association of landlords paid for this piece.

GUIs give you a clear venue for exploration (click around), which is how kids dive into them.

CLI requires reading and writing, and usually in English — at the very least, Latin script.

I don't know how I would feel if I didn't grow on the CLI (back in the DOS days), but I'd say CLI is a faster way to do most things other than selecting by visual data (eg. find all images with mountains in this folder of 1000 files) — at some point, ML will help that bridge get crossed too.
Maybe? They didn’t claim anything at all. I didn’t see anything in that comment about price negotiations. Frankly I’m as confused as the grandparent as to what was being said.

AIX and Solaris already had init replacements before launchd.

Sun's only good idea for desktop UNIX was NeWS and they killed it. Their desktop execution for Swing proves how much they understood (not really), desktop development.

As for Apple and UNIX, it was more the inverted takeover from NeXT than anything else, given A/UX execution.

Also Steve Jobs wasn't a UNIX fan, it was more of a embrace POSIX due to the competition with Sun, and extend with NeXTSTEP Objective-C frameworks than anything else.

Get hold of his USENIX talk about "UNIX should be invisible".
I've just got dry skin mate, I'd hardly categorise it as my body falling apart. I also use zero cosmetics. No issues here.

Your skin naturally flakes as it replenishes itself (I think it's called the skin cycle), it was getting caught in my beard, I'm lazy I can't be bothered with that. Plus when it gets long you have to cut it straight, right pain in the arse. A lot less hassle shaving.
I don't have any specific questions but would be really interested in hearing more!
I don't understand why your comment is written so argumentatively. The person talked about in the article didn't grab a pitchfork. He decided to walk away because he wasn't happy with the employer changing the terms from what he was happy with. That's completely within his right as an employee.

I have a number of colleagues who have resigned because they don't want to go back to the office. Nothing about any sort of inalienable right BS. They just prefer remote work now after doing it for 2 years and they're no longer content with having to work at the office anymore. And honestly, my company is losing out far more than they are with them leaving.
Since we're on the topic of remote, why do you think the union agreement would not state location of work being 'member's preference' rather than a specific location?
> let’s not let perfect be the enemy of good

Agreed, I see people dismiss valuable but imperfect security too often.

Google uses a similar approach for Android packages. In order to publish to the Play Store you need to upload signed with the same key. If you can't, then you submit a support request and they run some extra checks before they allow a new key.

On challenge I don't see others mention I that an attacker could publish a small, non-malicious release first. Then any manual diff review wouldn't see an issue. The next release using the attackers key would be trusted, so manual review would be skipped, but that one would contain malware.

This requires two releases by the attacker, over a period of time. Slowing down the attack is a benefit on its own. It gives package owners time to wonder, wait who pushed that last release?
This. American policy leaders have said they expect at least a year before the bite of sanctions is felt economically. It's too early to comment on their efficacy.
Depends on the tea. For most Chinese varieties, dumping tea in a cup and pouring water works great. Eg for sencha, esp fukamushi, this wouldn't be a great idea: the leaves are tiny and you need to control the brewing time precisely.

Using a gaiwan is just so joyful: stuff it with leaves, keep an eye on the temperature and steeping time, and you can resteep good leaves many times and get so much more out of them. Each of the steeps is different, you can see how the leaves open, how the taste develops. I have some Chinese greens that go on forever, start with around 75°C and 10 seconds, and gradually increase both over perhaps twenty steeps, ending with boiling water and brewing for however long I forget about it. Thinking about it, I'm off to make some tea :)
Thanks for the feedback! It seems developers would like to have a place like this, I'm trying to understand if this is something startups would be interested in using.
I just want my vote to count as much as anyone else's. You can try to paint that as a nefarious agenda if you like but it squares with the 14th amendment and modern thinking on the issue. The country was founded on only white landowners being able to vote and we've evolved quite a bit since then. I think it's time we evolve some more. It's pretty gross that North Dakota + South Dakota gets twice the representation in the Senate as california.
It'd be interesting to see a comparison of Apple's "Strictly controlled interface between groups on a need to know basis" and Amazon's "All teams will henceforth expose their data and functionality through service interfaces. Teams must communicate with each other through these interfaces."

I'm guessing most companies have a more leaky abstraction approach

Because... you have more money in the market?

It did spike up inflation when it was introduced and once inflation starts its effects tend to spiral.

Look, we're also coming from years of QE. We've been screwed for years, it's just a matter of understanding when the government won't be able to support this monster they created and let th market correct itself. Instead of a series of small economic crises we'll get a massive one.

Most of our economic crises are caused by governments interfering with the market.
Nothing directly. One could argue that GANs did kick-start the boom in generative model research as the first approach in some time that worked in a big way. Either way, certainly Ian is a huge name in ML.

Deletion confirmations are more important in GUI systems like Window's file explorer, where accidentally deleting a selected file would otherwise be a single mistaken keypress away. The delete key is easy to accidentally press. Your cat could even do it for you. Using rm requires a lot more effort, so I don't find a confirmation necessary.
Wow. This looks incredible. We're using Xdebug now and while we have no real complaints, this is on another level. Most of our machines are Linux based so we should be good, but we do have Windows hosts too in testing (unfortunate that it doesn't support them).

If Okular helps Crop screenshots, Rename image files from the thumbnail side panel or title bar of the same screen I’m viewing them, and Easy “Create Copy” from an image I’ve already changed, I’ll be happier than I am with Image Viewer plus Krita plus shell plus file manager on Ubuntu.
Seems like this site is dead as of Sept 2020. Or maybe the auto-publishing bot is under a different name now?
"I might be an outlier in how I learn, but I find that learning happens in multiple passes."

I don't think so, I'd reckon you'd be pretty typical. It's basically how I learn things and I'd think it's how most others acquire skills.

From my experience, the key issue is having an interest in the subject, subjects that I was interested in I did well in and it was the opposite for those that bored me. I suppose that makes sense but in both cases multiple passes were required before I became proficient - it's just that it took considerably longer when my interest was less.

However, what I've noted on many occasions is that there are students who I'd classify as a class that are just good at learning things even if the subjects have little interest for them per se, they're the ones who would often top the class and later in life you'd find them doing jobs unrelated to the subjects they did well in. I often think I'd like more of that trait.

For reasons I can only speculate about, my interest in certain specific subjects seems to have inate origins, it's as if some a priori interest was there before I knew about them. This doesn't necessarily bode well for other subjects that are deemed essential for one to become skilled in as one's learning can become lopsided.

There's little doubt that hands-on training works for most - and that brings me back to clocks. In physics practical classes on tension, springs, mechanical advantage, etc. we actually had clocks to experiment with. These were usually old bedroom alarm clocks and such that could be pulled apart and reassembled and if damaged it didn't matter much. We all learned from these experiences, even kids with little mechanical aptitude as clocks contains just about every instance of the physics we were learning about and it was obvious how they all came together to make clocks work.

Internal rate of return

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_rate_of_return
lots of stuff isn't disclosed that isn't important. sure some things may be secret or require that not everyone can be added but that's the same as top secret projects.

it's not toxic in and of itself. i think there are a lot of toxic teams but not every team and not every org are that way. if you can't get disclosed on something that you manage then you have some toxic issues but i wouldn't shit on the entire concept because of that, i would question why the org and company are that way as a whole and fix the root issues
Internal rate of return. Basically the rate of return you get on capital you've invested.
> There is still considerable debate if those measures were actually effective.

Not really. I agree with the thrust of your post but there is definitely no considerable debate being had on this topic, because Near-Zero COVID is the only acceptable policy, and saving lives at any cost along with it.
Ok I can see some points there, though I don't store TOTP in the same place as my passwords.

Can you be potentially tracked across the internet with your single public key in the FIDO system. If my understanding is correct you have a private key no one knows and you provide the public key to authenticate yourself. If you only have one private key and one public key surely your open yourself up to tracking/privacy related stuff? I might be wrong due to my ignorance.
The whole reckoning behind this is not organizational but aesthetic. How does it look if Apple spend a billion bucks on an office, and it's half empty because Bob from Oakland prefers spending his working day at home in a bathrobe and slippers.

The work, more than likely, gets done just the same, but it's all about appearances.
What do you think about gpt3 and ai content on serps and how will it be rated and ranked?
I agree with your comments. As far as I know the work flow software and PDKs used for by the foundries (I know this is true for at least global foundries) has essentially unlimited liability (e.g. for "leaking") , so they often are running on dedicated computers even fenced off from the network. I find it hard to imagine they let hardware engineers take it home.
Isn't that because 11 months of tenure prevents any RSUs from vesting and so they want you out then if they are going to want you out soon?
Internal rate of return. Very short version is it is the expected growth rate of an investment. Longer version is it is the rate of growth of capital assuming the net present value of the investment is $0.

That said I've never quite understood the specific pros/cons behind favoring IRR over other metrics.
Probably an adherent of modern monetary theory.
They do because they can go to the executives and deny unreasonable goals outright, something to the effect of ‘how do you think four people with 39h of work weeks can do this’, implying that these hours are not going to increase so let’s hold our horses.
