I learned so much when Spotify came out, the recommendation algorithm was remarkable and I'm truly grateful for the music I've discovered.

But that was many years ago. Haven't used it in probably two years. Every time I try to it only suggests me crap. I don't know what happened.

YouTube is my go to when I want to find something new.

For listening to stuff I already know, I'm old fashion and have folder with my audio files. My most precious backup.
These were my thoughts as well. The article has nothing to say about being engaged at work. It's all non-work suggestions.

The best interpretation I could infer was that if you are engaged outside work, you'll be able to be more engaged at work?

My feelings about cause-and-effect are the opposite. When I'm disengaged at work, I'm less engaged outside of work. I'll try to do hobbies and stuff outside of work but it makes the contrast more drastic, which makes work less bearable.

Compared speed to Python 3.9 using python-speed for those who want a simpler, more straight-forward benchmark. [1]

Basically one can expect overall 24% increase in performance "for free" in a typical application.

Improvements across the board in all major categories. Seriously impressive.

Stack usage and multiprocessing had the largest performance increase. Even regex had 21% increase. Just wow!

And this may be the first Python3 that will actually be faster (about 5%) than Python 2.7. We've waited 12 years for this... Excited about Python's future!

Google has 4.3B users, so 1% of that is 43M. With a $5 subscription, Kagi would have $215M in monthly revenue, enough to pay for 14,000 developer salaries.

A more reasonable target might be 500k users at, let's say, $10/mo.

I'm expecting her to complete October. I'll try and encourage her to
to apply to CCC or Blackhat Euro, so if that happens I'll post here.
Why? Because it’s higher than you’re used to seeing? You don’t even know what role that person was applying for. Is your position that 380k is just “too high”, period?

That number (or higher) has been the norm at a huge swath of stable and profitable tech companies for a decade+.

I am making an assumption that 380 is total comp and not base salary. I don’t believe that Coinbase is paying 380 base salary for any non-executive position.

Categorized search results are also data. Bloomberg is no different to Google in this regard, it doesn't generate the data, it just fetches and aggregates market data from various sources which anyone could technically do with enough effort and yet people pay for it.
I really appreciate posts like this. Learned so much from reading it. Engaging writing style too!
Excellent point!

Tangentially, to prevent scenarios where generated code becomes out of sync, in your CI you should always re-run generators and check that `git status` shows no entries (and fail the build if it does).

Go to https://www.fidelity.com/mutual-funds/mutual-fund-spotlights.... Pick any fund. Look at the prospectus. Note that there is a link to the "Monthly Holdings Report." [1] Which is a list of every single investment the fund makes, including the CUSIP (basically serial ID) of every bond.

If people aren't willing to tell details on what you're invested in, that is considered one of the red flags that you're investing in a Ponzi scheme.

[1] I'd link directly, but the final link is a downloaded PDF, so it's not as easy to copy the link.

I still use Google every day. I was really hoping this advice was for real.

Python is so slow that I ironically don't care about performance improvement that much, because if you are writing any performance-sensitive part of your software in python you are screwed anyway, 50% faster code isn't going to help that much.
Did Biden ever have a serious climate agenda? It seemed like a bunch of fluff to help sell a progressive social spending wishlist. The climate provisions I recall were investments in EVs, a citizen’s climate corps, and public transit investment. Apart from accelerating the EV transition, I doubt these things would amount to even a drop in the bucket (investing in public transit is mostly for people who already use public transit—very few people would switch to public transit if it were available because it’s hard to beat the convenience of driving outside of congested big cities). What other climate initiatives did I forget?

I would expect serious climate policy to look like carbon pricing or at least more considerable EV and renewables investments.
If Tether had sufficient reserves, they wouldn't be fighting to hide the details of those reserves.

It should be obvious to any observer that they have little reserves and have basically taken the money and run.
Just being in the mainstream kernel, instead of an out-of-tree module, already gives a couple of benefits. The code will always be kept up-to-date with the internal kernel API, so you won't have a situation where the kernel is updated but the out-of-tree module fails to compile due to an API change. And if you're running a signed kernel (for SecureBoot), you don't need to have a complex setup to add an extra key and sign the module whenever it's rebuilt. Also, as others have mentioned, being in-tree means it's better integrated with the rest of the kernel; this includes making changes to core kernel code when they could help the module.
I expect Oracle still holds copyright on a lot of the OpenZFS code, so probably not very feasible.

This law will be the death of topical forums. I mean, one man's off topic is another man's censorship. We saw that in usenet back in the 1ate 1990s/early 2000s.

If you can't remove posts for being offtopic, all forums are just a sea of unrelated, meaningless things.
Do big companies like that really design better software or do they just have more resources and can afford to hire more and smarter people to keep terribly designed systems running?

Could better design be a competitive advantage that a resource-constrained B2B company can wield?
I think a subscription model could succeed for a niche group of people if the price was right, and the quality was good enough.

Also, I think Google could make a ton of money if they sold one ad per language at a time. As in, for the next 5 minutes the ad for all English speaking users will be for coca-cola, and then it will be for boscovs. Just like TV ads.

That is to say, a search engine could sell advertising without betraying it's users or compromising its own quality. It is possible, but would need constant vigilance against the temptations of greed.

In general: when reading, one may normally want to maximize contrast while minimizing "beamed" luminosity (meaning, the amount of light made to directly hit the eye).

That is for eye comfort.

So, yes: we adjust text for maximum contrast (#000 to #FFF) and adjust the light accordingly. This is expected behaviour.

Which, by the way, is also in general energy efficient.
Usually there’s loads.

However, there are lots factors which cause this issue, partially repeating the previous things:

- devs want to work on fun / sexy stuff

- or they want backend work and there’s a lack of staff on the client side (because the hardcoded shortcuts or the random beeping are entirely client-side issues)

- PMs want to design new whizbang stuff they can wank themselves over or add to their portfolio or whatever, triaging and fixing papercuts and usability bugs is not sexy unless an n+x hit them and tells you to get them fixed, this is even more of an issue if development is PM/manager-driven and deviating is risky

- you may not want to put your finger in that trap if that tags you as the person who fixes the shit bug, doing it once in a while can be nice / interesting / rewarding, doing it all the time less so

- discord is a social network (or at least social-network-adjacent), meaning they probably have a lot of staff involved in mitigating abuse (spam, scams, fraud, …)

- discord has received a lot of investment (500m last year), I don’t know how their cashflow is but the issue of investment is growth chasing, chasing network effects is more useful than fixing minor usability bugs here and I doubt anyone’ll leave discord over random beeps
Because Facebook sucks.
I fully think there's something shady going on, but the best “devil's advocate” opinion I can come up with is that stablecoins are in a pretty precarious legal position wrt. money laundering laws, and knowing which institutions they bank with gives the US government more parties to put pressure on.
Psuedocode means ambiguity which means misunderstandings. As soon as you remove all ambiguity any Pseudocode just becomes a language.
The question they seem to want to dodge is who is the issuer of all that Commercial Paper. They'd like people to believe it's a diverse group of blue chip companies. The reality is it's probably Binance and a few other crypto companies.

Variable stock compensation for engineers does have the benefit that it fluctuates with investor perceptions of company performance. In theory investors may not care about compensation in a flat/growth stock, but seeing a 10% decline in personnel expenses on a stock down 25% is definitely appealing to investors.
I was appalled when they removed long-press to preview. I cancelled because of it. Yes, I'm that petty.
I think you might want to dig into what you find unpleasant about them, then see if other people have the same issues and are willing to go through the trouble of changing platforms for it.

It will definitely be a huge challenge and I think "native apps" and small memory footprint is only relevant to a small group of people.

> I don't want to build it - and be the only one to use it - so I'm hoping I can get enough inspiring comments to go for it.

In that case you should think about your marketing/sales plan first. How are you going to get users? Why would they switch? Who will you target? Why do people choose certain tools? Why will your tool be better than the existing ones? etc etc. Validate these things cheaply before you start building for months.

I can give you my personal 2c: I use both Zoom and Slack and am quite happy with them. Tbh I am unlikely to switch because my clients use them + they are performant enough; I rarely have any noticeable issues. So for me, just a native client would not convince me to switch.
Not only that. Why the text submited in the starting post is grey? That's a strange decision to me.

There are only two choices. Either Google are no longer interested in finding the best answers to your queries. Or as you point out: They don't care, that is no longer what they do.

I cannot imagine it being easy, but I find it hard to believe that Google aren't able to weed out the worst offenders. For a large number of queries the results are all SEO spam. Try searching for anything related to health and get a useful result. It's no longer possible.
Its objective is to generate "growth & engagement" to justify those designers/marketers' salaries as opposed to being a tool to pay for & listen to music.
Yes. They're readily sold (in large, predictable bunches) to other banks if necessary.

It's not a perfect system; see the subprime mortgage crisis for an example.
You are right. And the actual number is lot smaller. We just need 0.001% of Google users to be sustainable with the current team size. (or about 50,000 users out of 4.3B Google users). And if you find 50k users, you will find 100k. First 5k is tricky!

When interest rates are low, there's a lot more money sloshing around in search of better return, instead of just comfortably getting a high, low-risk return. When more money sloshes around, higher-risk investments like VCs get more money.
Some years ago there were some serious Warnings issued from Google: Make your website fast and small! Popups will be PUNISHED! as will mobile-unfriendliness!

But in hindsight, this was a ploy from them to try and upsell AMP, which was in a lot of cases heavier than non-AMP websites, and it was a means to keep people inside of their ecosystem - and inside of their advertising network, because not all websites Google linked to had Google adverts on it.

They've given up on AMP. They've given up on improving search results quality. Dare I say they've given up on improving the web? I mean they're still putting some money into Chrome and HTTP/3 and the like.
I just realized that the authors suggestion is basically to implement a custom bang (using !g on ddg will send you to the google search, !a to amazon, etc.) for .edu.
Market value and revenue/profit are not the same thing but they are very related.

Netflix's market value falling 72% means the market has a negative view of Netflix's foreseeable ability to sustain or grow revenues and profits.

You are right in that it is possible that Netflix has the market fooled and in reality is growing its revenues and profits and cash flows at an even greater rate than expected and it is all just one big misunderstanding.

If that is the case, Netflix can always choose to 'go private', where it no longer sees a need for public market funding and believes that savvy private investors combined with its revenues and cash flows can fund its operations and growth.

But as a public company, its stock price and market value also signify access to capital. The less capital Netflix has access to, the less it can invest in its existing and growth operations, like the 100s of shows it creates every year.

With access to less capital, Netflix will keep on fewer of its 'dream team athlete' workers, even with their all cash and no stock compensation, which is why we are starting to see layoffs.
The scenarios described here are familiar even though I've only spent a small part of my career doing formal OKRs. If your next blog post continues to mirror my experience, it will paint a picture of a quarterly OKR debrief meeting where half the people didn't work on their objectives and it just doesn't matter because they got good work done anyway. People who really like process and checklists will nail their OKRs, but they probably would have gotten the same work done in the quarter regardless so, again, it doesn't matter.

Upon reflection, it makes me wonder if OKRs are better used as a corrective tool for a team than as a formal process for already high performing teams.
Given the rapidity which people move around at FAANGs just slowing down hiring can be enough to be an effective reduction in force.

The problem with people leaving voluntarily is that they’re often your best performers (and so have the best outside prospects) whereas the people who “have it good” are less likely to rock the boat.

The irony is that the garage is doing a fantastic job up until that point.

If someone is so clueless about changing a tyre that the best place they can start is google, then organically taking them to the garage's page is a win. Maybe they'll find the information useful, maybe they'll decide they're out of their depth and call the number on the screen.

For them to show up as the first organic result is a huge win. All they have to do with that win is not screw it up. And 9 meg of trackers, a page full of popups, and pointless CTAs (do you want to hire someone who can't change a tyre?) is screwing up that easy win.

You don't have to be scummy to turn search results into profit. That garage came so, so close of being a great example, before they threw it away and made a bad example.
OpenSSL could change the license on most of the initial code base. AFAIK, ZFS is the exact opposite, with the majority of the core code having been owned by Sun and nobody can change its license now but oracle. I'm pretty sure that you're talking about a nearly complete rewrite.
That’s what it always was.
Welcome move from my opinion. I was hoping to have USB-C everything, but the Lightning port has been a stickler there. Looking forward to people complaining about having to use adapters with Lightning ports and how we should go back to Lightning or that Apple should ship the iPhone with both USB-C and Lightning. I also didn't like the addition of HDMI and SD back to the Macbook Pro but it's not a huge deal.
If you show an example of something that pops up right after the initial load, and that a user actually desires, we'll think of ways. I can't think of any right now. Things should pop up in response to a click, generally.
I dunno about "who links to" functionality in the search engine itself, but this information can be found if you set up Google Analytics, which is probably what they want you to do anyway because that data is worth a lot to them.
Just about every browser has this.
No you are incorrect. That 224k is base at google not including equity. Staff engineers at google get a bonus and the majority of their comp is in equity, just like coin.

Source, I have a lot of friends who are former/current staff engineers at a variety of Bay Area companies. I also was a staff engineer at coin.

Also if you want to earn something like this in cash go work at Netflix when they start hiring again. They give you the option to be paid in cash.
