I share your views on the topic. Early days of web were amazing from the perspective of people trying to express themselves despite the technological limitations. <img> and animated gifs, tables, CSS, not to mention Flash... Obviously romanticizing to an extent, but to me personally there was value in people striving to set their content and themselves apart - vs today when it's so much about "streamlining" experiences and conforming to current trends.

There is a fundamental conflict in human nature between the need for freedom of expression and need for structure - and a balance to be found. The latter won in Facebook vs MySpace, and while I liked the clean UI and structure to content that Facebook brought, today I would very much prefer to again see chaos of people's expression in MySpace pages than chaos of bland, ad-riddled, and structurally overpopulated Facebook profiles.

But in what I said above, the shift is actually between something else entirely - from web being individual, to being corporate. It seems to me that we got to where we are on the web solely because of hyper-capitalism seeping into it, like into all other pores of society. There is a string of reasons Slack is 440MB - it starts with it being pushed to use a combination of technologies that are deemed to ensure quickest iteration, time-to-market, interoperability with user tracking systems etc (in this case, Electron / JS for multi-platform coverage etc); then you have more and more people using those technologies because they are sought after; then companies want to use those technologies even more everywhere because it means you can grow your teams faster on the market. Btw, all exactly the same reasons as to why almost every "website" today is a React app. All the while, the more information you can collect on people, the more attractive you are, even if you have absolutely no need for it or way of using it in your product for now - so almost every website also comes with 50+ XHRs on load to every imaginable tracking service. All in function of marked words above - "growth", "market", "faster", "user tracking" since those are the ones that are exclusively rewarded (not even with actual money any more - with market evaluation and other perversed and illusory constructs).

So it's not the technologies or the "web" themselves that are the problem at all - it's that hyper-capitalism hijacks them, requires targeting widest market, being quick to monetize on it in any way etc - which means experimentation and individual expression lose value, and any benefits for the user that don't obviously result in benefits for the corporation (e.g. user's disk space usage for banal Slack example) are cut off from consideration. It's only expected then that, when you look from individual perspective, the web is not individual-friendly anymore.

Sigh. The ignorance.

The speed of computers IS NOT LIMITED BY "gate" or "transistor" speed; the speed is primarily limited by transmission line delays across the die and often off the die. You can only improve this by taking less die area or avoiding off-die communication as much as you can. The latter is the basis of the Apple Silicon speed.

Ah Cloud Foundry. Something I drink to forget.

CF was the tool Salesforce should've bought or written. Heroku not so much.
> select a good troop

Also one that fits your preferences, since style and personality varies a lot. I didn't really realize as a kid that you had a choice of which one to join, and just joined the one that met at my school. I only realized when I moved to a new city that there was such a big difference in personality. The two I was in were both pretty friendly and good in a general sense, but totally different in style. One was very "official" and put a lot of emphasis on the various ceremonies, oaths, ranks, uniforms, etc., while the other mostly de-emphasized that and was primarily oriented around monthly camping trips.

(In affluent areas there is also a style of troop I'd personally avoid that isn't quite "bad" in the sense of the really dysfunctional ones, but not super great for personal development: the one where everyone is there primarily because they want their kid to put Eagle Scout on their Ivy League college applications...)

Birmingham Quran Manuscript
I used to be, but I have maintained the habit of sending out a handful of resumes every week, and interviewing once at the very least (3 times this week). Even while I am in a job that I am currently not planning on leaving in the next year. It has made things easy, articulating who I am, what I am working on and how I got there. Must have had a few dozen interviews in the past year, and while I still get a rush of anxiety every time, I've been enjoying getting better at them.

I do get the usual interviews where I very well know that I am either over my head. Or where I get the feeling that they must have interviewed some very skilled people before me. But it doesn't really matter. As I see it, with 5 years of experience (self-taught), I am a good dev in my own right. And I am very sure that my experience and drive has a job ready for me at enough places not having to worry about job security (for now, in this buyers economy).

Hasn't this always been the case? In Austria that was the norm until the government changed the laws this year. I've assumed in Germany they also had a "SpekulationsSteuer" (a tax of which they've pretended that it helped against rich speculators, which of course it didn't, because that's nonsense).

The problem is that volatility and a small market cap make it a worse unit of exchange.

(One of the big reasons is that you need liquidity to be useful, if you can't easily exchange them for something else when and where you need to, the permissionless digital exchange isn't very interesting)
> Just this week, I hit what seems to be an accidentally-quadratic bug in macOS's tail — tail! I'm not even sure how you write an accidental O(n²) in implementing tail, but yet macOS tail takes 7 minutes to process a log file on my system that GNU tail can process in 80 milliseconds.

If you're curious you might be able to find out why for yourself:

It's presumably based on an old freebsd (circa v3 or v4) version of tail.

Worse, there are sites that prevent even viewing of text unless one enables JavaScript.

Anyway, to assist the GPP, and inspired by your user name, let me suggest that requiring TPM checks for people running (games on) PCs is like requiring your car to breathalyze you before starting the engine.

> a company that claims only to hire the best and brightest

That's what they claim. It seems unlikely, especially seeing some of the things they produce. ;-)

A less sarcastic point is that a company with a uniform hiring process tends to get a uniform workforce. What this means is that all employees tend to have the same strengths, and also the same weaknesses, because the hiring process is always looking for the same exact things. The result is that the team ends up not being more than the sum of all the parts but rather less than the sum of all the parts. The same strengths added together are redundant, and the same weaknesses added together create giant corporate blind spots.

When you go about trying to "minimize the bad hire", what you're really minimizing is any sort of difference or diversity among the workforce, thereby missing the forest for the trees.

We always talk about the so-called "10x engineer", but it's not clear that 2 10x engineers with the exact same skills would be better than 2 other engineers with different but complementary skills. Maybe 10x + 10x effectively adds up to much less than 20x.
That Salesforce created it was wrong. That Heroku was already that way, yes also re-painting history. Cedar and buildpacks were conceived before the acquisition but launched after. The teams were allowed to continue executing on roadmaps for multiple years after the acquisition, but Salesforce could be viewed more like a series b, c, d round than in a way influencing the roadmap and making it happen.

GitHub is an amazing parallel, folks feel that Microsoft turned around GitHub, but actions and much of the GitHub turn around happened long before the acquisition. Those sort of things take years, you should mostly try to judge a top down influence 4-6 years after they were there.
I'm glad that it's in your sights. And yeah, a terraform style model where you generate an explicit plan and then separately apply it helps with both problems.

This is always my reply to crypto-heads: if btc/eth/etc. become too inconvenient for the U.S. government, or interfere in some material way with currency policy, the government will simply declare crypto illegal or regulate it to the point of pain, and that's that.
It could be as simple as a preference of the CEO/CFO, maybe a bad experience of someone at the top.
FAANG is basically that yet they all interview each other’s employees still. Why can’t anyone trust verifiable information - that you worked for $COMPANY in some $JOB. Why is all job experience and why are all credentials thrown out the window when you apply, for the most part.
To be clear, the data never goes to DJI themselves. DJI drones broadcast their location and other information over RF for anyone nearby to receive. In a war zone we should assume that all interested parties are listening.

I'm actually saying the reverse and agreeing with you that there are market efficient outcomes that should have been considered or done . In the Irish Potato famine around 1-2 million people left the country. Instead of preserving the workforce they opted for a short term market equilibrium of selling the food to people that could pay and not performing some kind of tax that would feed the needy. The previous Tory government tried to do some charity but then the incoming government did a more of a hands off approach which is an incorrect response. So yes the Irish Potato famine was the result of a market efficient equilibrium that shouldn't have been allowed to occur.
Quite the opposite -- the computer term "bit" was named after the common word for a very small piece of something, from an ancient tongue called Old English. Just google the etymology of it, there's a wealth of information out there.
Most NYC finance firms did this. You will find lot of AVPs (Assistant Vice President) who are mere software developers getting paid more than $125k base (during early 2000s). It was fun to suddenly have “Vice President” in your title.

I had a simple kit that was basically a big board with components on it. The components had springs attached. Then you could stick wires in the springs to connect them. It had a book with schematics and info. Not sure who made it.
Thank you for all of your articles, they make hardware engineering understandable for someone like me who is a software engineer and burns himself every time he touches a soldering iron :)

> The components are liberally covered in what looks like hot glue. I suspect that the hot glue was only used in equipment for ground testing, while modules for spaceflight were fully encapsulated to prevent short circuits.

This is making me wonder, where in the world are you getting this stuff from?
I don't know what will happen in one, three, five, or 10 years. But I do know this: the performance of your crypto investments will be measured in fiat, just like they have always been.

Nobody cares about how many Bitcoins they have. They care how many USD those coins are worth.
The ponzi part was not the root cause, it merely sped up asset accumulation until it became a ripe enough target.

The root cause was the flawed arbitrage mechanism. It relied on always being able to redeem 1 UST for $1 equivalent of LUNA, and that relied implicitly on LUNA having value. Without that, whenever somebody cashes out UST they also cash out LUNA causing both prices to enter a death spiral.

And what value did LUNA have? Nothing more than the promises of the development team that you were getting in early on a soon-to-be-burgeoning ecosystem. "Hundreds of developers! Amazing new protocols!" In other words, vaporware. Which during a bull market can work for a time.

I agree with you that a functioning algorithmic stablecoin would be "genius". However I prefer calling it the Holy Grail of stablecoins. Powerful, if it exists.

I'm gonna be honest, vanishingly few people use any of those technologies these days, and I'm speaking as someone who has used VB and some Delphi before. Electron and JS has magnitudes more libraries and support than all three of those technologies combined.

To think that devs these days should use any of them is to be tone deaf to how the tech world works these days. Good luck convincing a dev, much less their boss, to use Delphi to develop their cutting edge desktop apps.

I just wanted to share a counter example to those saying Bitcoin is a poor savings vehicle. I did something I believed in and happened to get a better result than I ever planned on. I am in it for digital sovereignty, and establishing an alternative to banks and inflationary fiat that is accessible to all. It going up in buying power on average is something I also do not really see as surprising given the deflationary nature, interest, and adoption.

When the traders walk away I will still be using Bitcoin as a way to store and transfer value p2p unless something with similar properties replaces it.
As I understand, the value of Bitcoin is in an expectation that in future it will become a widespread payment method, and you can buy it cheap (well, relatively cheap) today in order to sell it later to those who will want to use it for transactions.

If my understanding is correct, then as soon as it becomes clear that there are better alternatives or Bticoin is unfit for this purpose, the price will drop.
Probably not. I personally think their bet that a slack-first user experience where the internal Salesforce experience takes a back seat is a game changer. If executed right, nobody will be able to catch up at all. We all know how bad Microsoft teams and whatever Google's chat of the year is.
On Bitfinex it is trading at 0.02 (2 cents) it never dropped below 0.005.

I agree, but I want to add two bad metaphors. (I'd like to have a good one, but I only have bad ones.)

* Prions are like falling domino pieces. If you have a lot of standing domino pieces, and one of them falls, it may cause other domino pieces to fall. But they don't create more domino pieces, or standing pieces. They just pull down the pieces that are around. Also, they store no information, they just flip a bit from 0 to 1.

* RNA is like a small pile of glued magnets glued on their side. If you put some glued magnets in a box full of magnets and shake them, they will pick other magnets and create a inverse copy. If the side of the magnets is (magically) sticky, the copy may get glued permanently. After some more shaking, you have two piles of glued magnets moving around and collecting more magnets and making copies. They store information, because the initial pile may be NNSNSNS and the new piles will have the same pattern until there is an error in the copy.

I think There is a fundamental mismatch between the signal an interview can provide and the requirements necessary to be successful on the job.

You see and interview is like a “test” or a “pop quiz” where the day to day is more like “homework”. That is, you want to hire people who do their homework, but the only reasonable method to evaluate a candidate is to give them a test. And while a “high test score” may serve as a proxy for “completes homework”, as we all know, it’s far from perfect.

The unfortunate reality is that the best process for determining the quality of a candidate benefits neither the candidate nor the company. That is some sort of paid-trial-period-type arrangement to evaluate fit.

So we are left with these gauntlets of an interview process because it kind of splits the baby…
Which one do you have? That's remarkable fuel economy for city driving, and better than the older Volkswagens I've been considering.
In theory. I meant: specifically for the roles in construction that would become available. These are not high-paying jobs and they lack the benefits that we’ve come to appreciate, such as care or compensation upon loss of life or limb. Since the cost to the employer would increase, what would be the effect on wages?

Further, my understanding is that the employers of day-labor off-the-table construction work don’t much care about arrest records.
It also sounds big until it costs him $50 billion.
Super cool to hear you were considering using the site for all your technical searches!

Time filter is a great idea. In an earlier iteration, I tried ingesting creation time in the crawler. Unfortunately, not all sites would have a timestamp included and they way they incorporate it was a mess (metadata vs url vs a random <span>), so it didn't make the release. But this is definitely something to revisit soon.
> Frequentist probability is objective because it defined in terms of falsifiable real-world observations. An objective definition of probability can be used to resolve disagreements between scientists. A subjective definition cannot. That's why Frequentist probability is used as the foundation of science and Bayesian probability isn't.

Such statements are one of reasons I cannot take Lesswrong seriously. The author has very vague mental model of a science, he doesn't read scientific articles (because if he was reading them he would know that bayesian analysis is a thing in a scientific research), but he has an opinion on relationships of science and bayesian probability.

The very first skill of any rationalist is to know boundaries of his competence. Author's failure with his prediction of outcome of Russia-Ukraine war should tell him just about it: you need to learn boundaries of your competence. But the author failed to generalize his experience. If you have no idea about Russia, Ukraine, war, then you cannot make a reliable prediction on outcome of the war. If experts cannot make a reliable prediction, then all your bayesianism wouldn't help you. If you was an expert then you probably could make better predictions with bayesianism than without it.

Knowledge is a necessary prerequisite for a successful prediction, bayesianism can help to use knowledge, but it cannot substitute it. Knowledge without bayesianism can be enough for a successful prediction, but bayes theorem without knowledge is just a bunch of math symbols. "Garbage in, garbage out". If you feed your lack of knowledge into Bayes' formula then you get lack of predictions out of it.

If you know about science from textbooks, then you cannot hope for insights about science. Harry Potter in HPMoR thinks of himself as of scientist. It is so clueless I have no words to explain. And people from lesswrong seem to share his delusions: like if they know about bayes probability it makes them to be scientists. No. If you want to become a scientist you need to work for a while on some scientific research with an advisor. To read dozens of papers, to search through hundreds of papers, to talk with people, to share your ideas with them and to defend your ideas from their critique. And to collect real data from real experiment to see all the shortcomings of the process. One cannot become a scientist without real experience of a scientific work.

Though, I'd say I liked his examples how to apply bayes theorem to a real task.

No, it’s not. There was a real economic crisis, and hindsight alone allows you to take that position.
The physical attack Microsoft worried about is hacker extracting information from a stolen laptop. It only takes a single laptop (out of thousands) to infiltrate the company network and steal source code or whatever.

For enterprise users, this attack vector is a real threat. Microsoft definitely wants to dog food this technology to their own employees to avoid getting hacked.
