It is true that Twitter employees are very left-wing. [1] However, TBH, this is a little bit sus. I searched the name of the "senior engineer", and he doesn't seem to have any presence online.

Maybe it's just a guy capping on a date?

I guess you’re shocked then. Seeing lips is essential for me, even works in poor quality streams.
That's true, but it is a recipe for looking like you're getting shit done and claiming credit for the other people's work.

Side note, look how much is written about Musks crazy work schedule. Without going down that rabbit hole too far, you can see why he makes that information public.
> It makes sense but on practical terms it's expensive and uncovenient to buy MP3s.

I don't identify with this comment at all! How is it expensive and inconvenient?

I prefer to buyt the CD and rip it if possible, as then I have built-in backup. But if not, I'll buy the MP3 online, from amazon usually. Very easy.
I'm sure this is very interesting but I couldn't make it past the first sentence. I'm sure there's a term for someone who writes like this, but all I could think was "redditspeak," or otherwise stale tryhard wacky. Forcibly inserting so much 'character' into your sentences that your syntax implodes.
> How big is the group of people that want a smaller smart phone but aren't willing or able to switch to Apple?

It just feels like surely capturing 100% of the market for premium small Android phones (there really are none right now) must be at least as good as yet another large Android phone entering a market full of large Android phones.
RK356x has a different PCIe controller, which works better.
I was actually thinking the opposite. I got quite a way through the article before I realized "Hang on - None of the paragraphs and sentences start with uppercase letters!"

As a father trying to teach two small children to read and write, I've begun to think it's kind of annoying and unnecessary to have two different forms. It's easy enough to teach when they are just bigger glyphs, e.g. O -> o, C -> c, S -> s, etc. But having uppercase and lowercase that are entirely different is just a pain in the ass, e.g. A -> a, D -> d, G -> g, R -> r, etc.

I do wonder if literacy might be improved if we got rid of uppercase, to little to no detriment elsewhere. (I'm sure someone here can probably sight some data on that!)
>The uncoupling of work from the office – something that long preceded the pandemic, but has been accelerated by it – has meant work could be done at any time and from any location.

oh look, yet another piece of propaganda pushing the idea of ending working from home in favor of returning to the office!
It's not that hard when you remember that many of history's biggest liars were lauded as visionaries up until the point they were exposed.
I'd prefer the mini, but want a better camera.

If the camera were the same, I suspect many, many more people would buy the mini.

less has a flag for that: (the gnu version does at least)

-F or --quit-if-one-screen
Causes less to automatically exit if the entire file can be displayed on the
first screen.

So one could just pipe everything through `less -F`. If a different $PAGER is preferred, well that'll be a little more involved.

(Also handy: add in `-X` to leave the contents on the screen when you exit less)

Cryptocurrency is not even 1% of global energy consumption. The environment is being destroyed by China, western nations, fossil fuels. If anything cryptocurrency is just a very small drop in their bucket.
>And in a world where we're unable to continue exploiting fossil fuels, whether due to the environmental impacts of their waste, or the lack of future supplies, the present mode of operation will end. What that means in terms of the set of factors affecting human impacts on the planet --- per-capita wealth and total population --- one or both factors must move.

Thanks for the book recommendation. Over time digging through history books and trying to wrap my head around how supply chains and agriculture work I've come to more or less the same conclusion. I feel so alone a lot of the time in understanding this stuff and it's refreshing to know that I'm not the only one who takes a look at things and goes... wait a minute...
I don’t think the subject of software correctness in practice is itself well-studied enough to say conclusively that my conjecture is false. I think what can be said conclusively is that at scale people cannot write memory-safe code in an unsafe language or type-safe code in a dynamic language, but obviously these are not the only kinds of correctness.

> In particular, you learn that it's not true that more soundness is always a good path toward more correctness.

I’m still curious what definition of “correctness” you’re using here. Formal correctness? Bugs per line of code? Generally I’m thinking in terms of formal correctness, in which case I think it’s basically a truism that more soundness leads to more correctness. At some cost, perhaps.

> I gave you an example of where they are.

Yes, but those bugs are not unique to static languages, and I’ve never claimed that static languages eliminate all kinds of bugs. As far as I could tell from reading the study, it’s not evidence that static languages encourage this sort of bug more.

To be blunt: I think the set of kinds of bugs that can be written in dynamic languages is a strict superset of the kinds of bugs that can be written in a static language. Maybe I’m completely wrong about this! But this is the root of my reasoning.
The articles is a bit dramatic, but if, say, over 40s, folks with kids or elderly parents, they tend to avoid the risks.

If I have to isolate a few days, and then my kids too, even if we're not worried for our health, it's a major annoyance for work.

That being said, I don't like virtual events at all, but I'll also be picky about in-person events, because of time and travel environmental impact.

This reminds me of Salvador Dali's quip that "the first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot."

It also reminds me of Marcel Duchamp, who (speaking of his tremendously famous and influential Nude Descending A Staircase[1]) said "This idea of changing, not repeating myself. I could have done ten nudes probably at that time if I wanted to. I decided not to go that."[2]

> The "valuable" employees (engineers) for these companies don't even want to unionize.

I know many engineers that want to unionize. It's not that hard to convince people once they stop drinking all of the anti-union kool aid that has proliferated in the US over the last several decades.

Look at pro athletes that are contracted under a CBA. They get to negotiate profit-sharing, minimum salaries, guaranteed raises, etc. Roughly half of the revenue generated by the NBA is allocated to player wages.

Apple generates somewhere around $1.9M per employee[0], with a median salary just shy of $160k. One of the most common criticisms of unionization is that it would cap salaries and people would earn less. If Apple employees were compensated like basketball players, the average salary would be somewhere around $1M.

Race _is_ a spectrum but genetic differences themselves are distinct (SNPs). It's trivial to train a classifier to distinguish race from genetic data, hence, I'd argue they are distinct groups.

You can draw an analogy to colours in the rainbow: a rainbow is a spectrum but we can still draw lines that demarcate colours. Colour definitions are fuzzy at the edges but this doesn't mean coarse colour labels are not distinct.

Yep, there are undoubtedly companies that really expect people to work unreasonable hours, but I think this is the common case. I very much don’t normally check work communications out of hours, but my boss has my phone number for emergency situations where I’m really needed (has been about 3 or 4 times over the 3 years I’ve been employed at the company).

You don't need terminfo until you need to redirect those fancy outputs to a file, or you see a lot of weird [M; in your CI logs, or your ssh session does not display full 256 colors, or you question why we don't have true images in our terminals when we have bitmap escape codes for decades now[1]. No terminal was created equal and never will. terminfo is about future as it is about the past.

Color ansi codes might be everywhere today, but that's no reason to disgrace terminfo, there are a ton of other features that need checking and are not universal.

It's just about pay isn't it? If you're fine working less hours for less pay, that's fine. That was always the choice. Of course there is a threshold below which you get no job at all but that isn't the case mostly. It's about pay vs. peers.

There's a really interesting gem in technical planning for games on the memory-mapping logic for Disney Games[1]. Or, what was assumed to be an antipiracy measure was in fact attempting to rescue a game that didn't do any planning for memory budgets.

At the time, hardware bumpmapping was an inconsistent mess, and despite lofty promises, they didn't end up delivering what was promised. It wasn't until the "bump map" was torn down and replaced with the "normal map" in 1999 by Kilgard that the stage was set for the future. I suspect that they stopped talking about it to distance themselves from that association. The specific hardware feature in the GameCube was also getting retooled, and the "bump texture" unit eventually turned into the much more powerful "indirect texture" unit, and that thing is a beast. It was used everywhere, as it should have been. If you've seen my video on displacement maps [0], the indirect texture unit was what powered that.

Nintendo reused bumpmapping in a few places in Luigi's Mansion, but their primary trick was spherical-mapped environment mapping, which they basically mastered the art of. They also later developed a way of using the indirect texture unit to do normal mapping on the Wii, though I believe that tech was only used in a few places in Wii Sports Resort.

This is true, however extensions are by their very nature different than the thing they're extending.

Exactly - the landscape of decks is extremely chaotic and I can't imagine gradient descent having any real power to discover the few towering singularities of super-exploit power-decks when changing a 3 to a 2 in the middle of the effect description of one card would render the same deck just meh. You don't really find exploits by approaching them slowly from a distance.
rust actually does okay on the BBB unless you activate heavy macros at which point the memory blows up, and it grinds to a halt.

rust-analyzer, for example, could be built (slowly) on the BBB until recently. The last refactoring of it ... ooof ... did something to macros and now the memory footprint is gargantuan.

>Once you build your developer productivity approach on this basis, what needs to be measured becomes much clearer - for example: interruptions caused by meetings, performance of local tooling like local builds, latency of CI, number of on-call pages triggering outside business hours, etc.

But those metrics don't really help management decide how many hours developers must be required to sit at their desks per day, how much unpaid overtime to demand from them, or how many years to wait before giving them a tiny raise! /s
The problem with 'disconnecting' is that you run the very real risk of being fired and replaced by someone who disconnects less than you. Don't want to pickup your phone after hours at 11pm on a Friday? OK, that's your choice, but it can come with consequences such as being reprimanded, being passed over for promotions or bonuses, being treated poorly, or outright being fired. Unless your skillset and value-adds are truly unique and both indispensable and irreplaceable (not true for 99.99% of us), disconnecting is not an option for those of us who can't afford to lose a job.
That might actually be what Apple is doing, skipping mini for 14, but not stopping mini forever. Sony did the same, there where Compacts of Z1, Z3 and Z5.
Yeah it's pretty odd what most of the commenters in this post are saying. As if they've forgotten not everyone in a workplace, even at the same level, have identical goals. In fact in a big enough workplace, almost certainly there will be at least 2 very opposite goals.

Same for management as well. Some drive their subordinates hard but are willing to fight for big bonuses and fast promotions, others don't care as much and probably will also not be keen to investigate promotions, etc., either.
Actually RockPro64's SoC RK3399 SW support is fully open and mainlined... from DRAM code, to low level suspend to RAM code, to bootloader and platform firmware with development originally mostly supported by Google. So if you think that SoC's support is in embryonic state, I don't think your standards are reasonable. :) You can pretty much just do a common builds of unmodified TF-A, U-Boot and Linux and get a working system.

I can count platforms with lacking SW support on all my fingers, easily, but RK3399 is not it.

An analogy that just occurred to me: I have some really good organic dark chocolate right now, that is 90% cacao. I love it.

While I agree with the sentiment of your post, I'm not sure if Pixel are the best example, as they have demand that they don't satisfy.

For example in Spain, the Pixel 6 Pro was only sold for a few days in February, then sold out, then returned a few days ago - so it only seems to start being consistently available now, and it's a 2021 phone. Oh, and only the 128 GB model is sold here. I had to ask an Australian friend to mail a 512 GB one to me!

And at least, they do sell it here. In most countries, you can't even buy it.

Compare to iPhone where you can get every model with every storage capacity consistently, in Spain, and in the overwhelming majority of countries in the world.

I've even seriously considered switching to iPhone for this very reason, by the way.
