My impression from working at Google is that people are similarly promoted based on implementing new features rather than maintaining existing features, including bug fixes. It's been 6 years now since I left, but I can still tell when there's a promo cycle because the UI on my Android apps change arbitrarily and become slightly buggier.

Just to rant about both companies, Amazon Prime's Chromecast support seems to be currently bugged out. It plays for a few seconds then gives up with a content not available error. Maybe it will work again in a year?
My opposite of plagiarism anecdote, where I still didn't do the work but got credit for it.

When I went to High School in Utah it was after going to a really advanced Junior High in Oregon, and I was very spoiled and felt that the work was boring and beneath me.

One of the classes I took I should have been grateful for as a dream class for a kid like me, it was a class on reading Science Fiction and Fantasy where you had to write a book report on the books read (once a week, once every two weeks? don't remember, maybe once per month).

I generally read a book every day or two, and I wrote quite quickly so it shouldn't have been difficult. But I found these book reports difficult to write because they had a template for how they wanted the reports written that I found insulting to the books I had read, if I had read a book I liked I didn't want to insult it that way, and if I read a book I didn't like I didn't want to think about it any more.

So I hit on the expedient solution of writing book reports on fake books, I don't remember any of the books other than one that was a stereotypical Fantasy quest to stop the dark lord thing, called "The Hinterlands of Horlon" ugh, of course I gave it a negative review with some bright spots just keep anyone from being interested in reading it.

Didn't get found out though.

Thinking back to when I was a student I wonder - do you think your classmate thought they were being funny, or were they legitimately not considering the teacher would notice?

It is extremely cruel. I have a friend who, while working at Netflix, had a major health problem and was coldly fired for not performing. As if anyone could perform at 110% (required at Netflix) from a hospital bed.
Cloth deformation physics are fairly standard these days, and are already in the game. Criticising “bedsheet physics” is something media latched onto as a way to generate outrage clicks. Congratulations, you fell for it, and repeated it.

(If you look at the actual progress report that was talking about bedsheets, you’ll note it was from the AI team—in other words, how to make the AI enter/exit beds while interacting properly with the physics engine. Pretty normal stuff.)
In the 90s, I remember there being a piece of student work pinned to the public display board (this only happened to the best work). It had blue links in it. Either the teacher who marked and choose it had no clue what that meant or had no fucks to give, not sure which.

I wasn't trying to say that $150 is a small amount of money, I was trying to say that in other professions it is normal to spend a significant amount of money on tools, but for some reasons many developers seem to think their tools should be free.

I am not from Italy, so I can't say how much carpenters in Italy spend on their tools, but I know that when we had a carpenter work on our house in Austria, they showed up with a lot more than $150 worth of tools. Just the Hilti drill they had has a list price north of 2000€. $150 might just get you the drill serviced.

They might even pay more for software than the average programmer -- typical CAD software used for construction plans often costs 1000€ or more per seat.

Also, when comparing the salary to the cost of tools you have to consider that the salary is what's left after expenses (such as tools) have been accounted for.
> Netflix wants their workplace to be like pro-sports, where elites complete for the best outcome and be rewarded like so.

But of course it is not comparable. While Netflix pays very well (have many friends there), it's still nothing compared to a pro-sport star who is making double digit millions per year.
It is strange for it to attributed to thermal throttling when there are no measurements taken and not even a simple correlative graph to demonstrate the relationship. I'm sure it definitely could be the case though, just a comment on the strange assumption the article seems to take.

With no research what-so-ever I would have attributed the slow down to some kind of cache or buffer filling up.
Ask HN: How was the web before React.js?
I did not see any temperature measurements of the controller though in this article so the test doesn't feel very scientific to me.

It's not just thermal throttling of the controller that causes slowdown, it's also the filling of the DRAM/SLC cache.

Also, we should talk more about some vendors screwing over customers by replacing controllers or NAND chips with slower parts to cut down cost while keeping the same SSD SKU, after seeding the original SKUs to reviewers to lock in good benchmark scores in online tests. This is why I recommend only buying SSDs from reputable vendors/OEMs who are more vertically integrated: Samsung, WD, Sandisk, Micron.
It's about intellectual honesty. It should be unambiguous what parts of a creative work are actually your creativity, and what parts are borrowed from others.

Besides that, citations make a great way to pursue further reading. If an interesting idea gets mentioned in passing in an essay I'm reading, then if it's cited I can go read that other work. That's why you're supposed to cute your own works, when an idea in a given essay is just lifted from something else you wrote. I, as a reader, can then go check out that work, and in turn be lead to the ideas that helped shape that one by the citations in that work.
There’s also a fun thing where some (a minority, in my experience most frequently on the other side of a customer support line when I’m already annoyed) British people call Ireland (the non-British part) “Southern Ireland”.

Hmmm, "web tech" includes DRM stuff these days. So that's not 100% always true any more.
> That said, if I were doing a from-scratch authentication implementation today, I'd probably pick something like biometrics via FIDO2 instead of smart cards...

Traditional smart cards like CAC and PIV can include a user X.509 certificate on the device. FIDO doesn't include this capability. That means FIDO keys have to be registered separately with each and every service[1]. This is deliberate as FIDO tokens can generate a unique key per service--for services authenticated via a web browser this is precisely what happens. But the choice means FIDO doesn't work well for building a generic, federated PKI system.

FIDO has a laser focus on solving user authentication problems for website operators, all managing their user databases independently. The saliency of this approach has at least as much to do with removing degrees of freedom that vendors could abuse to fragment the hardware space than in the technical security of things. Traditional smart cards never lived up to their promise precisely because companies like Saicoo actively sabotaged interoperability and ecosystem simplicity in attempts to leverage vendor lock in.

[1] Or those services must all be able to contact a shared online user database, or a certificate has to be distributed separately (e.g. as with OpenSSH). (But I don't think a FIDO token can even sign something like an X.509 certificate, at least not without defining a new signature algorithm OID.) Both are problematic for use cases like CAC or national identity cards.

I agree there were all kinds of other considerations. The education required to write, and the cost of hand-copying books, meant that the market was nonexistent and those who wrote anything worthwhile were intellectuals and had some other job or patronage. The cost of contacting most authors might've been impractical, even more than the cost of the scribes to copy books, even in cases where the authors were still alive. Still, there was a thriving intellectual culture, and nobody thought about this modern "moral right of the author" to extract rent from the transmission of knowledge.

By modern standards, there's hardly anything more anti-copyright than forcing someone to let you copy their personal library. It disrespects not only the modern rent-extraction copyright by the author, but also the idea that written material in any form is anyone's property at all.

Most of the "experiments" done in Nazi concentration camps were actually very bad science by any metric and was just a manner of torturing and disfiguring prisoners. The remaining handful of experiments (the hypothermia and high-altitude experiments you mentioned) have been argued[1] to be full of experimental issues that make also them simply bad science. Very little (if any) science is based on their experiments (some papers did reference the Nazi data, but doing so these days is exceptionally controversial).

The idea that we got a lot of science out of the Nazi regime is a laughably absurd piece of literal Nazi propaganda. Not to mention the Nazis actively drove out and murdered their most prominent and skilled scientists (because they were Jewish, communists, or both).

The fact that the lack of a headphone jack was normalized by Apple with the release of an iPhone 7 doesn't mean it's any less of a nonsensical idea. Unlike storage media, wireless can't supersede wired simply because each of these options has its own strengths and weaknesses and whether one is better than the other is highly subjective.

With all the respect to the author, any experiment should be reproduced.

I would argue that the claim that "No one knows the origin of Ulster’s ‘Red Hand’" is somewhat inaccurate.

The wikipedia page[1] covers a lot of its history. Because it's very old, dating back to at least the European dark ages, the initial origin is fuzzy indeed but there's a long historical record of its use. It clearly pre-dates the Normans in Ireland.

Interestingly I get a sense among most young people in Northern Ireland that they are pro-union while very distinctly categorising NI as a country in itself.

There is a party called the Alliance party that is attempting to offer an alternative to tribal politics of DUP/SF and they did quite good in recent election.

Even with that being said, I think most younger people see the Union as a good thing, if even in just the economic sense.

Somewhat less so than before Brexit but still the finances of NI look dire if they left the union.

Original:" I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,

who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz"
