> After 2008 I became interested with crashes throughout history. There are so many fascinating little details that added up to one giant mess.

I would recommend looking into Jeremy Grantham. Not saying he's right about everything, but he really views himself as a "bubble historian" and he's got some great commentary on bubbles and crashes.

Interestingly, his experience during the dot com bubble and crash is pretty fascinating. He saw the bubble pretty clearly, but he got out early which caused his investors to withdraw something like half of his assets under management. He was eventually proven right of course, and his strategies did very well during the crash.

Which also points out why diversifying can be emotionally difficult. If you're well diversified you should expect to do worse than the market when it's booming, and better than the market when it's crashing (i.e less volatility). The problem with that for money managers is that it's very easy for clients to feel "Hey, the market is exploding, and I'm paying this person who is underperforming the market!", and then, when the market falls, even if the manager overperforms the market (but still has negative returns) "I'm paying this person but he's doing worse than if I just kept my assets in cash!"
I assume catching a falling knife is at least preferable to buying the peak. :-)
If you want to keep with the browser based rendering, I've used this for a couple side / internal projects: https://github.com/webview/webview

Yeah, that definitely is the best way barring the existence of aliens. :)
How well you communicate goes a long ways to becoming that go-to person. If you can explain a technical or niche thing to a non-technical person in a way that they will understand, and yet doesn't bore everyone else to tears, you have the skill that makes a go-to person.
Sure, but you're not writing SQL queries on the front end.

My longest relationship was entirely in the spring and summer of 2012. It wasn't exactly the happiest time, I think they were looking for something a lot more serious than I was.

I was 18 and had almost no money, learning programming, but mostly wasting time on reinventing garbage. I had finally moved away from PICs and started working in Arduino, and doing some Python, but it would be a few more years before I stopped doing stuff like building my own backup solutions.

2013 was much better, I got a somewhat decent job, but my mental health was still not great(Although much better than 2012 and before).

My hair started falling out by 11 or 12 and was all gone by 16, and that was always pretty much the defining element of my personal life until much later when I really doubled down on focusing 100% of my time on work.

Take a gander at the PE ratio for the S&P500 over time. A substantial amount of those gains are backed by increased profitability.

And not sure what your comment on rebalancing not being much "help" is. Rebalancing is not about "help" it's about sticking to an investing approach.

And I can recall back in the early 2000's when people said "Equity growth will never be like it was the 90's".

Glad I never listened to them.
>I’ve used CUDA and Julia extensively in my work for radio astronomy imaging applications.

Do you happen to have some examples of these you could share? Sounds interesting. Why is gpu needed for radio imaging?
I just watched that a few weeks ago. Great movie, but to be honest I thought Jeremy Irons was unconvincing and played the role poorly/was poorly cast.
Remote work was always a desired thing, but companies would always make the case that it would affect productivity and the bottom line. The pandemic showed that is simply not true. In fact, the opposite happened - productivity increased, and many companies showed record profits. Now that things are returning to normal, companies are going back to the same argument, which is no longer valid. It may not be an inalienable right, but after the pandemic it should very much be an option at most, if not all, companies.

If you don't like to work in office, find a remote job, end of story.

That's exactly what Apple's director did. He resigned to find a remote job. There is no drama in that, other than it being reported and people talking about it. Many workers (myself included) simply refuse to go back into the office. It's quickly becoming an archaic social norm that you have to have your butt in an office chair to be productive. That simply isn't true. The employer has the right to set their work terms, just as the worker has the rights to set their work terms too.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Japan stock market JP225 didn't recover yet from 1990 crash.
Apple's HQ campus is an interesting one because it's only a small percentage of their employees that actually work there. I imagine if they downsized their silicon valley properties down to infinite loop and the ring building, they'd still be able to easily fill them up with people who like working onsite, conference rooms, meeting spaces, labs, etc.

I am not personally aware but I do remember hearing they had office spaces all over the place because they don't have enough room on the main campuses for all of the employees.
I agree with your point in general it would be borderline tyrannical to track and punish every harmless violation of traffic laws, but in the case of vehicle modifications its not a momentary behavior, its a choice to permanently install something. I love motorsports and high power bikes and cars but would love to see these annoying loud exhausts off the public streets.

Its probably just me but I guess I teach web dev professionally so I might as well say that I was really excited to see something like this for free from Microsoft but confused to see so much time spent on a canvas app and backend functionality seemingly crammed into the last few sections somehow.

I guess it's fine to just have a frontend curriculum but just confused at why this is noteworthy maybe.

Im sure this is a big deal for some reason and Im just too dumb to realize why. I honestly wish I had time to go through all of this just to get inside their heads in terms of education strategy etc.

Also I kinda hate React but shouldn't they be introducing React or Vue or something? Who's the target audience here? Job seekers? Bored tweens? Time traveling developers from 2005? Me?
Thank you for pointing this out. I don't get why you'd do anything more than add a pinch to your cup and pour hot water on it. Not to mention then you can read your tea leaves and know if you're going to die or not.
> Secrecy is a value it held dear, to preserve the “surprise and delight” for customers.

I think the last time I felt this way about an Apple Event was the launch of the iPad. Not only are they burning out engineers, they're optimizing for a value that isn't part of their secret sauce anymore. I expect innovation, but not surprise. An N'th generation anything just won't have the same zing as it did the first few times.
> Why make so much drama out of it?

Well, lets see duckduckgo search the largest tech companies back to office dates...

> Google tells employees to return to offices in April

> Apple sets April 11 date for return to in-person work for corporate ...

> Microsoft Returning to the Office on Feb. 28 as Covid Cases Decline

I doubt they decided independently on a back to office date in the same ~1 month timeframe, remember these same folks had an anti poaching agreement and set limits on engineer salaries. They colluded to control engineers and they'll collude to force them back to the office if they feel it's best* for their industry.

Unless employees have a similar level of coordination and control, for example a cross industry union, they will continue to be pushed around. If people don't make a big deal of these moves the company can withstand the few hold outs quitting.

*I doubt best for "the industry" is best for the consumer. Best for them is probably most controllable pliable workforce.

But EU has had negative interest rates for years, and will collapse (break up the eu monetary union) before USA goes under. Dollar strength confirms capital is moving into USA.
At a certain point should projects like this be investigated by some authority?

$450m is not far from double GTA V’s budget. 10 years is 3x as long. Something just doesn’t seem right here.

I’m not saying they’ve made nothing. But have they made reasonable progress given the scope, timeframe, and budget? It doesn’t seem like it.
Per the Fido spec, “Something you know” can still be used to unlock the Fido Authenticator by way of a pin.

Passwordless is better because you aren’t storing a phishable password on a server.
If there is an article that explains what's different about passkey under the hood, I've yet to find it. That's not entirely surprising as it's brand new. Still it's mighty frustrating when google searches just page after page of re-writes of fido/google/microsoft press releases, all saying little more than "hey! passkey replaced passwords (and it somehow involves phones and bluetooth)".

Yes, I know uses FIDO under the hood. But the there are very few ELIA5's for FIDO either. One's that start with "It starts with a super secret private key the FIDO device creates and never leaves the device, so no one ever can learn it. In fact, the security and cost effectiveness of the system rests on the fact that it's near impossible to extract that secret from a piece of cheap silicon. The system works because it's possible for the device to prove it knows that one thing only it could know, without ever revelling what the secret is. ..." From there it goes on to explain the techniques use to ensure despite using the same secret for every server, no two servers (from different domains) will know the same key was used to log into each. And on it goes with mutal auth, and immunity to MITM attacks and on and on. Now I think about it, maybe 5 is a little too young.

Then people say disturbing things about Passkey, like https://www.hanko.io/blog/on-passkeys : "Passkeys = (synced) WebAuthn credentials". Hang on. Is that saying this super secret key never escaped the FIDO token is now synced???

And were is this super secret key stored on the phone? Storing it in a hardware token that receive a backdoor'ed firmware upgrade is one thing. Storing it in a device that accepts firmware upgrades, when governments such as Australia's have passed laws allowing them to compel manufacturers to backdoor firmware upgrades is quite another. But storing that secret on an Android or iOS phone, that are so complex they have proved impossible to make them secure, which we know because many can still be root'ed today - surely that's insanity?

But who knows maybe that's all been thought of and mitigated. Given Google's involvement, that almost seems likely. But you could never learn if it was true from dumbed down to the point of uselessness "hey! we've invented (ye another) replacement for passwords" press releases I've seen so far.

> i don't really agree with this - the money used to purchase financial products don't disappear, because for every product bought, there was a seller. This seller now has cash, which would be invested elsewhere.

But just look at housing, which has exploded well beyond the rate of inflation since the Great Recession bottomed out, and especially in the past couple years.

Yes, if money is plowed into housing, the homeowner has more cash when they sell. But presumably they have to live somewhere, and with housing skyrocketing in basically any halfway desirable place, it means they're just going to spend that cash on another expensive house.
My version of this is that horns should automatically activate the high beams while honking. Should be trivial to implement and it would allow anyone to identify who is honking on a busy road.
Similarly, when I found out about custom scripts in X3, the game got a whole lot more interesting - I created a carrier who searched the universe for abandoned ships, claimed them, repaired them and sold them.

A shame X4 moved to a terrible XML based scripting language. Still can do all those things, but a lot less approachable.
This is a good point, but there is a counter-argument as well. America is currently divided into the rank-and-file class vs. the stockholder class. The governments' actions so far have been heavily benefitting the latter. Workers get a $1000 cheque, stockholders get a 20% net worth increase. Mom'n'pop shop closes due to lockdowns, Walmart eats up their niche due to being exempt.

Taking too much money out of the economy at this point would harm the interests of the stockholder class, so they would try to do as little of it as possible. Of course, that would only deepen the divide and push Gen Z into accepting more socialist demagoguery, but the short-term stock market dip might be somewhat less than in the dotcom times.
That's what I'm thinking. If this is legal, I'm going to hire an artist and an animator and just have them make press releases and eat people's money.
So, were you able to apply the same methodology effectively in real life?
No, it's not. But that's kinda the point. This is mildly interesting because at the first glance it kinda looks like a wrongly implemented bubble sort, but it actually works.
You would likely have really good results used an ADC. Also lots of spectrophotometers have serial just not populated with a connector.
It would be illegal in the US to have the kind of hiring standards that would be effective.
Cost centers: anything that improves your experience as an employee.

It’s smart to move out of it, but the fact that you have to in order to progress is a clear indicator why companies will perpetually undervalue talent - even in competitive markets.
> You have much more bargaining power, yes. But you’ll also be bargaining as part of a group that includes Joe Useless, who sits in the next cubicle over and ostensibly fulfills the same role as you.

What if you're the Joe Useless on your team and you don't know it? A lot of people here seem to think they're the 10X dude but what if they're the 0.1X dude lol. What if you're really the 10X dude but your manager thinks you're the 0.1X dude because they don't like you as a person?

Those systems have good and bad sides to them, but I do think the good outweighs the bad.
I strongly suspect M1 taped out before the pandemic started

One thing I love about my company is that most information is not siloed. There are product lines that I have no business known about, but I have access anyway.

It’s not only exciting to know what’s cooking in ankthwr group’s kitchen, it’s also great when experts from other teams volunteer to help when you’re stuck on a problem that’s their domain.

In larger companies, knowing what others are working on makes it a lot easier to find experts at something. And I’ve never experienced any of them being reluctant to share due to fear of disclosing information about the products they’re working on.

I don’t think I’d feel at home at Apple.
I had a problem with a broken phone token recently.

My phone screen broke (turned black), so I wasn't able to log in to my business bank account, not even through the web portal on my laptop. Web login on the laptop requires confirmation via the phone app, but with a black screen I couldn't figure out how to confirm. (It also needs the phone camera to read a QR code, so I guess it would have been a problem if the screen worked but the camera stopped working.)

I phoned the bank and said, surely there must be another way to authenticate in these situations. Or perhaps I could just use bank services over the phone?

Their answer was no, the only option to access any bank services was to purchase another smartphone, move my SIM over, call the bank to activate the new device, and then video myself reading some text. Then I would be able to use the new phone to login to my account on the web on my laptop.

As a result I wasn't able to access the bank account for several days to make payments, until my new phone arrived.

Then similar fault occurred on the new phone a few weeks later (identical model, bought used in a hurry, see above). This time I had just caught Covid so I wasn't going to rush out to local shops for a third phone.

During all this, the original phone was acting as a Google 2FA token for a client Google work account (unrelated to the bank account). Logging in to that Google account required confirmation on the phone, and it had to do something Googley, it didn't accept third party 2FA apps. I never did figure out how to to transfer that token over, but that Google account isn't needed any more so I no longer care.
That’s ironic.

If you’d sold your S&P500 on Monday and bought back on Friday, you’d have gained 2.7 shares per 100 sold.

If you’d sold your S&P500 a month prior and bought back on Friday, you’d have gained a 8 shares per 100 sold.

If you’d sold your S&P500 six months prior and bought back on Friday, you’d have gained 14 shares per 100 sold.

For what it’s worth, Microsoft was not part of the anti-poaching scandal:

It doesn't require one from a technical perspective as you've pointed out, but every business incentive is to lock people in to accounts. It makes it easy to collect data on the users, to enforce payment by locking accounts, etc.

I too prefer offline-first tools, but the market doesn't, and people are trained to sign up with an email account and password so for the masses "this is just how it is".

I don't want to be a pessimist, but examples of user respecting systems are mainly commonplace in certain corners of the highly technical FLOSS world, it's certainly not the experience of the average person.

TOTP being a notable exception.
I think a lot of devs are led to believe they're the World's Greatest Widget Engineer but what they've really fallen for is the "Hank Hill Special Deal" lol.

The trading with a grocery store is heavily regulated as well. They have requirements for storage and handling, their scales have to be calibrated, and there can be very strict fines for things like screwing around with sale prices.
I could only find this PyCon 2012 talk (https://pyvideo.org/pycon-us-2012/advanced-security-topics.h...), but there was a session in 2010 that was perhaps more zeroed in on this topic. It was evident then that these problems affected every packaging and dependency ecosystem, but it was hard to get devs to take it seriously.

The pattern plays out with every new wave in our industry. You can even see this with the k8s ecosystem where there is a ton of complexity and opportunity for attackers. It's only later that security is taken more seriously when it could be designed in from the start. We love to mitigate things that we could eliminate in original designs.

In the US. The Nikkei is down over 25% from its peak 32 years ago.
Then I would be more worried about which radical extremist would use it to plot the next terror attack. With some proof of ownership of the sim one would atleast have a human trace. Sure terrorists these days use satellite phones but giving away sims on a bowl without any proof of ownership is just lowering the entry barrier.

On the one hand, it can't be a good thing for the legal profession to remove the requirement that you actually know something to be admitted to the bar.

On the other hand, it has long been known that the bar examination has an artificially high fail rate due to a variety of choices that add "difficulty" without adding signal.
Head of line blocking in TCP is what made/makes this hard. I've seen some approaches stagger multiple sockets to mitigate but it is highly dependent on packet loss.

I would argue WebRTC is where this really became possible, although last I looked at the spec it made a best-effort at using UDP for datagram based messages but would fallback to TCP in some cases.

It's a fun domain and lots of really interesting approaches(like lockstep called out above as well as other fun things like dead reckoning).
It’s simple. If you’re in operations it’s all about increasing operating margin (omx). The simplest way to do that is to cut op expenses until you scrape bottom and op revenue dips. Then you adjust, firefight, and find other op expenses to cut.
S&P 500 growth has historically outpaced inflation by 6-7% annualized over the ~65 years of its existence. That cannot be explained solely due to central bank policy and/or inflation. Naive extrapolation would posit that keeping your money in this index would continue to stay far ahead of inflation given sufficiently long horizons [0].

If your goal is simply to keep up with inflation, then buy I bonds.
