Do you have a source for the work hours? I had the impression that he very much tries to not ask for more then he pays for. Do you have a source that the compensations at LTT are somehow unreasonable?

As for not having a YouTube channel, i find that a reasonable demand for employees of a company running YouTube channels. They are allowed to do game streaming stream on Twitch and stuff like that.
Article forgot to mention secure boot shenanigans. I actually own a laptop that literally refuses to run anything except win8 that come with it and doesn't let me disable secure boot. People say that it is a bios bug... but there are no plans to fix the bios.
I assume so. But this is not a legal attack - complying with the law isn't enough to keep hosting or payment providers from blacklisting you to safeguard their reputation.
Yeah fair enough, I'd agree with that assessment and I think that definition of "full stack dev" makes it a much more attainable target.

I'll second this comment- I'm definitely not in the top quartile of men in terms of attractiveness but on Hinge I regularly get dates, in no small part to being able to write messages when liking. Tinder and Bumble are meat markets, definitely, but Hinge (and probably others, I haven't tried that many more) do work with some effort put into crafting a thoughtful introduction message.
I’m not sure the analogy to gravity works. At least in the case of gravity we have a model which (largely) explains the planetary orbits. As far as I know, we are not even close to a model in the case of consciousness. And even if we had a model for the “easy problem” it’s possible that the “hard problem” would still remain.

Edit: to be clear, I’m agnostic on this problem. I just don’t really like the emergence “model”, where we have a bunch of supposedly non-conscious matter and if we put enough of it together in the right way consciousness just pops into existence.
Some big&powerful might hope so, I do not think nor hope so.

Some dream a sex-less society to control and command populations better, leaving of course sex to them, but we are human.
>Here in Europe, in many countries like Italy, Germany, Austria, and so on, it did exist. Concerts, operas, etc, were popular affairs, at least from middle class and above.

Precisely, the mass consumption of literate (i.e. notated music) was created in the 19th century. Only two of Beethoven's piano sonatas were played _in public_ during his lifetime; the piano recital as we know today was invented by Liszt. Orchestral concerts and Opera also enormously expanded in popularity in the 19th century with the rise of the middle class and their cultural aspirations. Previously Opera has been the only truly "popular" art, and even then it has to be heavily subsidised as it can never survive on the support of the population at large.

The 19th century is a tiny slice in history for notated music in the West which stretches back to the Carolingian empire in the 9th century! Throughout vast swathes of history notated music was limited to chant and then polyphony which was cultivated by the musicians and their circle. Even the hugely democratising effect of printed music only brought in amateurs, who need to learn the notation and play or sing for themselves. This is not comparable with the situation from the invention of the recording when any person can access a large slice of the entire repertory of notated music at leisure.

>Public music, in festivals, churches, rituals, celebrations and so on, was the norm throughout history. And folk musicians has been a job since forever - even in rural areas. Here in Southern Europe, for example, its a tradition lost in time...

Precisely, and because they were not notated, it's very difficult to get an idea of what was played. We have the notation for literate music and we still debate endlessly on how they should be played! Those ephemereal music played in the taverns and markets are the true predecessors of "popular" music made for and by the people, not music for musicians like Mozart or Bach; Notated and unotated music form parallel traditions which intersect but remain distinct. You will note how I painstakingly repeat the terms "literate music" and "notated music" because that is the one distinguishing factor that unites everything from Perotin to Poulenc, and is a coherent topic on which discussion is possible rather than the much more amorphous idea of just "music". A lot of confusion surrounding this topic arose in the first place because no such distinction was made.
Exactly. I trust businesses/people that are transparent about their mistakes/failures much more than the ones that avoid them (except Apple which never accepts their mistakes, but I still trust their products, I think I'm affected by RDF).

At the end of the day, everybody makes mistakes and that's okay. Everybody else also know that everybody makes mistakes. So why not accept it?

I really don't get what's wrong with accepting mistakes, learning from them, and moving on.
> What's the market like for embedded engineers working on cutting-edge hardware?

Where I work we are always looking for engineers. We struggle to fill positions. And other local companies are facing this very same problem. There is high demand and little supply. Universities here are all focused on theory and most fresh EE don't know how to blink an LED with passive components. Just a few wrote some lines of code or actually produced a PCB.

We have some "cutting-edge" applications, and we have to maintain/update old projects too. You never get bored.

> Is asm still relevant as an employable skill?

It's a plus. I rarely write/maintain asm (like at least for the last couple of years).

> How much of your work requires heavy EE knowledge?

Not much. I mainly code, but I have to know the basics, like being able to use an oscilloscope to find a noisy power supply or a missing pull-up giving me headaches, know how communication busses work, reading datasheets, etc.

I think what I am trying to convey is that it is not an addiction like nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, heroine, where the brain wants the substance itself.

With porn, it is the brain making a cost benefit calculation that putting in the effort for the real thing is not worth the cost relative to cost/benefit ratio of porn.

As in do I make all the effort to get my wife in the mood, or do I open a website and be done with it. Or do I control my diet and exercise, or do I open a website and be done with it.

Having been in the same boat, the take-home problem is... too much. If you show you don't respect the time of your candidates (4 hours of unpaid work is not respecting someone's time), they're not going to be interested. I would try to keep any sort of technical white-board interview or take-home problem small enough that it can be done in under an hour, 15 minutes for a truly experienced engineer.

With such a dismal acceptance rate there is no point in swiping left as a man yet men will still on average swipe left about 50% of the time.

To throw another wrench in the process, swiping excessively to the right may further derank your profile, causing a positive feedback loop. It's an insane system.

One thing I think about a lot is that in a lot of artistic fields, there's often a niche for "art loved by artists". Poetry that mostly people who write poetry like. Architecture that mostly architects like. Painters that most people dislike but other painters love. And I think this is somewhat of a recent thing as well (recent as in last 100-200 years or so).

For classical music, I have a theory that instead of splitting into two, it split into three. To overly generalize, there's the mainstream classical music everybody loves to listen to, mostly game/movie/tv soundtracks. There's the classical music that fans and critics of classical music loves (the subject of the article, the avante garde, the neoclassical, etc.). And then the classical music that classical musicians like, which is mostly stuff written by the old great composers (my impression is that classical musicians aspire to play famous old pieces more than they get excited over new pieces).

Not to go on too much of a tangent, and at the risk of sounding like my employer's fanboy, but one of the great things about working at AWS (I'm being honest, and yes we are hiring SDEs and PMs) is that we 100% focus on the customer. When our customers told us they needed encryption in transit, we figured out we could simply offer them transport-level TLS independent from the application-level RPC protocol. It may not have been the standards-compliant approach, but our customers have been enjoying fast reliable encryption for over 4 years now [1]. It solves a real problem because customers have compliance requirements.

Are you going to release tools to build my own quests on your platform?
Can you point to these jobs that pay 500k+?
Here's another one: assuming that each point on the surface of the earth belongs to exactly one region.

An example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinst%C3%BCcken

Steinstücken was an exclave of West Berlin located in East Germany. It turned out to be inconvenient for the residents to cross borders to get to the rest of Berlin, so a land swap deal was arranged for the road linking Steinstücken to the rest of West Berlin to become part of West Berlin, and some other land elsewhere was given in return.

This road, however, crosses a railway on a bridge, and the East Germans didn't want their railway to pass through West Berlin. So the border actually runs under the bridge and above the railway, and if you stand on or underneath the bridge, the actual region you'd be standing in depended on your altitude, even if the latitude and longitude was the same. This is still true today - although the regions are the Bundesländer of Berlin and Brandenburg.
Uh, shouldn’t there be a staging environment for these sort of changes?

Run your own experiment if you don't believe me. On the Internet, nobody knows you are a dog. Burner SIM cards for verification are cheap too.
Nah, they'll just cripple the graphics, gaslight everyone into claiming it's better, strongarm tmsc into giving them exclusive access to the next node, and then claim that their gpu design is literal magic.

Plus it will probably break if you get a hair stuck in it or accelerate at over 0.1g, and everyone will blame the user for wearing it wrong when it happens.
Because it hardly takes more than 2-3 seconds to swipe, and there were so few matches you couldn't probably waste too much time on handling them, it looks like about 5 hours of work gets you 1 date. I think it's more than OK. A date itself takes more time and more money. This is efficient.
Wait, having no DIV instruction will result in faster code than having a DIV that traps. The compiler picks up the code that happens in the trap and can optimize it. For example, the code for an 8-bit division can be a lot faster than a 32-bit DIV on a microcontroller.
Neuropsychology offers a nigh-insultingly simple, drab explanation. Sex isn't simply a matter of stimulation. Sexual arousal is controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system, which becomes more active when the organism is relaxed. Everything is stimulating, nobody is comfortable.

I could spend all day listing possible culprits. It's not hard to turn this into an opportunity to take shots at the left, or the right, for any of a thousand petty reasons. But that would miss the point: stop being mean.

Stop gossiping, stop leering, stop groping, stop cajoling your partner to try that thing you read about, stop comparing people to each other, stop being a show-off, stop being "provocative", stop imputing sexual insecurity in every third argument, stop putting naked models in advertising, stop writing songs glorifying exploitation, stop cheating, stop lying, stop cat-calling, and stop making jokes about rape, literally, for fuck's sake.

It's interesting how entities are societally not allowed to change for the better. Somehow, though, entities can change for the worse. It's a never forget situation.

What will it take for you to actually believe that they may genuinely be changing? Or you will always prefer to remember the dark times of CEOs past and a workforce that is probably half gone from those days? You want them to change their name, open source Windows?

Just because their path to cleaning their name has not yet passed through your preferred Open Source project does not mean they do not mean any good. The mere fact that such a large behemoth which you admit was blatantly against OSS but is now embracing and even backing some projects should tell you that entities can change, in either direction, good and bad.

> Amazon is definitely not a monopoly by any reasonable definition. All of the fields they are in have multiple other major players as well that they are in fierce competition with

I can't agree with that.

1) Amazon self-preferences their own products

2) Amazon makes knock-offs of third-party products that succeed

3) For third-party sellers, Amazon is just about the only marketplace that matters. The rest combined don't come close to matching it.

Definitely not the case in some countries. I am confident that there are a good number of failing democracies where you could easily conclude that FACEBOOK=INTERNET. I have deep knowledge of one where this is very apparent, to those in that country who stop to think and care.

I agree with you here. In itself best would be to not use online banking at all. As I said, this is hypothetical and doesn't apply to my personal situation (anymore). I just realized it the first time after degoogling and seeing this being a struggle many have when transitioning to a degoogled device, it kept me thinking.

Nevertheless, using a banking app is very quick and convenient and is therefore used by many people. I don't see privacy education going that far, that people would abandon this convenience.
Therefore I was wondering if an open source application would be possible here and bring the benefits that OSS usually offers in other circumstances.

While I agree that the matching experience is completely different for men and women, I think (many) women find them just as disappointing (and abusive) as men. Tinder pressures women to expose themselves to strangers who primarily are looking for sex and will just swipe if they aren't satisfied.

Is there even anybody who wouldn't be positively affected by some limitation on sexualised content and online dating?
