What's the state of arm64 booting like? Last I looked at early boot process on arm (which was admittedly a while ago) it was kind of a mess w/o a broadly adopted standard like uefi and every processor/soc/board kind of did its own thing. Has that improved to the point where I can expect _any_ arm64 board to just work? Or do I need to worry about the specific hardware, too?
Disclaimer: I work at Notion.

I think Notion works well for tasks if your organization is small, or you are happy with lightweight process. There is no way to ensure all updates to a Notion page follow a strict state machine like Jira. Notion just doesn’t have those kind of validation / restriction tools yet.

For our 100ish engineers it works well especially because planning docs flow seamlessly into project specs and then tasks… but we suffer a bit from loosely defined workflows around 2-week sprints that take more clicking than anyone wants.

Thanks, that is all very coherent. I would like to read your version of the article :)
Depends on where you work I guess. In reality, reporting really has nothing to do with SWE state tracking. You can also just write a report in a letter and mail it to the board. It's not like they are going to log in to JIRA or even have an account or SSO-allowed credentials since they don't need to be there.

On the other hand, like almost copy-pasted here, if a top-down 'unification make it worse for everyone' effort is started, no vendor or tool is going to stop that and your work will get worse.
My contention isn't that it won't happen only that it's irrelevant. Smartphones are just UI. They don't really make anything new possible. An absolutely perfect smartphone will be marginally more convenient for some modalities than a laptop and much less convenient for a lot of others.
I’m a staff engineer @ a big co, and my guess is the assignment is filtering out senior people with day jobs already. I hate take home assignments since they aren’t fairly timeboxed and offer no opportunity for me to ask questions or get info about the company.

There is nothing realistically preventing other applicants from spending 12+ hrs on it over the weekend or whatever, and so I feel pressure to also “cheat” on the time box. Not to mention this is competing for weekend or family time. Timed interviews, even if they take all day are a much easier pill for me to swallow, I just burn a vacation day.

I also get something out of the much-maligned leetcode+behavioral style of interview- usually 5-10 minutes depending on how long it took me to solve the question to ask them about their role, tenure and pulse on the company. These quick chats with the potential team members are incredibly valuable and missing out on them is an understated cost to take-home assignments.

I’ve only done take home assignments as a junior eng for startups that sounded really cool and wouldn’t do it any other way, (and I never actually ended up working for any of them afterwards making the roi kinda bad).

Do you trust Linus, though? He often promotes himself as without bias, but he very clearly hates Apple (except the watch). He also loves things he already understands (anything Microsoft). He's got heavy duty fanboyitis. And he's clearly someone you can buy demonstrated by his flip flopping AMD/Intel/NVidia praise.

I don't think he outwardly lies (at least not in a way that matters), or anything, but he's got pretty good soft selling skills which he definitely uses for evil/to make money.

I'm probably like many other people who live in an expensive city: stuck in the middle income wasteland. Fair market housing is too expensive for me (unless I'm ok with roommates and eating canned beans every day) and I earn too much to qualify for "rent controlled" housing. Honestly, this whole industry feels just like a huge scam and I'm thinking of moving back in with my parents, even though I have a decent tech job. At least, I think it's decent.
Is quadratic funding better or worse than quantum liquidity?
I have to give you credit for going this far into proving whatever we're trying to prove. However, who the hell in the real world infinite scroll this much? Some people do things that would make any QA team more valuable, and you're starting to sound like someone I'd love to have on any QA team I'd work along side.

This really sounds like one of those issues a dedicated person finds where the devs look at it and say no reasonable user would ever do this. The issue if not closed as "won't fix" gets deprioritized so low that it never gets looked at again. Even as a dev, I'd not have the patience to recreate the problem. It's just such an outside edge case from expected behavior/usage that I don't even know what to say in response.
In browser or on mobile? I really don’t like either, but it is especially buggy/unintuitive on ios.

This seems really cool, I like that it seems to be compatible with the existing twitch APIs in regards to webhooks for automation, not that I've ever used those cabibilities yet on twitch but knowing that the workflows could be written once & work both on twitch & owncast which means migrations are possible for even popular steam channels.

California has "test only" smog stations, though this was mainly to combat stations that would "just pass everyone" but they couldn't prove it.

I'm Brazilian, lived in Portugal, Germany and Australia for a few years each, and can attest that dental care in Brazil is at least 100x better in every way. It's much less bureaucratic.

Many universities offer free-of-charge consultations, although in a limited fashion. In big cities, I've seen mobile clinics helping the homeless. It's just part of the culture now. I'll even risk saying that Brazilians don't smoke because it stains the teeth. Lots of people do drink black coffee but they'll brush their teeth afterwards.

A private company called Sorridents has taken over dentistry in Brazil with more than 500 branches. It works like Subway/McDonald's. It's affordable.

Yes, there are many more dental professionals in Brazil, but the population also spends more on it (relative to income), so it balances out. You can even get dental insurance through your energy company, but I believe the vast majority of the population doesn't have any [1].

As an anecdote, I've waited TWO YEARS for Bupa (Australia) to tell me that my wisdom teeth extraction would cost 7000AUD and they'd need to move an entire team to a hospital to do it, and I'd need to pay for general anesthesia too (some 1500-200AUD more), which is absurd. I've also consulted with three other top-rated dentists in Sydney who told me the same. I flew to Brazil, paid 500AUD in a top-notch clinic, and the procedure took less than an hour.

In both Germany and Australia, dental cleaning felt rushed, polishing wasn't done properly, they always came up a thousand little things that added to the final cost. It's ugly, it's scammy.

In Portugal you can get decent dental care due to the large amount of Brazilian dentists.

I've gone over 200 tabs while researching something. Firefox handles the load just fine, and Tree Style Tabs provides a terrific interface.

But I suppose 40 is a rounder number than 640, which used to be "all anyone will ever need" number.
Oh I agree - I would suggest that most companies are if not corrupt then corroded. Weirdly I see Elon and SpaceX as an example - NASA found itself unable to escape its own corrosion so intelligently found ways to put its own engineers (I mean who else did SpaceX hire?) in a new organisational form. For ten years that managed to avoid "corrupting" the original vision, probably through sheer force of Elon firing people who weren't drinking the kool aid. Which works fine as long as his is the right kool aid. And something something unions, employees rights, decent conditions.

But anyway - getting out of the wrong organisational form is well hard, and staying out seems ... impossible.

Perhaps the simplest solution is to make a limit to the amount of time a company can exist for. Ten years and then tear it down and return capital to the owners.
It might force rebuilding and recreation into staid forms.

It's unlikely but there we go - I am just amazed as Inlook around that we have a mono-culture of organisational forms globally.
Those authorities on "good typography" are wrong. They prioritize text looking pretty over text conveying information clearly and accurately, and the world is worse off because of it. Two spaces as the sentence delimiter is superior in every way that actually matters, and I will die on that hill.
This might be a naïve idea and you didn't ask for any advice, but have you considered doing free/reduced cost work for children or the impoverished? I'm sure you'd face a similar range of responses, but that last line - "no good deed" - made me wonder if using your considerable skills for a bit of charity work might help with the burnout.

Side note: I've had to prepay for appliances and night guards in the past when the cost exceeded some threshold - the latter wound up being supremely disappointing considering it was ~$600 and broke within a fortnight, but I didn't bother complaining to the dentist since the staff would just have to argue with the fab.

sure, but wearing glasses also weakens your eye muscles. we're living, dynamic, nonlinear, and stochastic systems, not automata with orthogonal settings that we can tweak simply. glasses can actually make the problem worse (i've personally experienced this in my younger, naiver days[0]). optometrists don't question orthodoxy because doing so could threaten profits.

note, that's not to advocate the other extreme of never trusting anyone about anything, but every decision is a trade-off and has drawbacks. the visual acuity afforded by glasses should clearly outweigh the downsides, rather than outsourcing your brain to a hammer-wielding optometrist.

[0]: i still have dry-eye from an eye infection that was likely caused by contacts. that was actually the impetus for getting rid of corrective lenses altogether and the subsequent realization that i didn't need them in the first place.
That seems crazy to me. Word produces such ugly documents (poor line breaks, poor kerning, poor quality rendering, etc.). I would never publish something formatted in word just on an aesthetic basis, not to mention the downsides of using a propriety format without a proper typesetting engine.
What is your endgame?

If you want to, you can not give him any equity, let him leave, replace him, train the next person, and continue to be on call 24/7/365.

I'd be tempted to give him a few percent if that's what he wants, let him be on call 24/7/365, tell him he needs to hire and train some new people, and you can concentrate on new projects, work/life balance, or selling the company as something that does not require your ongoing involvement.

Don't think of it as whether it's "fair" or "morally right" compensation for past work, concentrate on whether it is the right thing for the future, and whether it you can have any of your needs met in exchange for it.
I mention this in the blog post. It doesn't fix the big problem. If fixes a smaller problem only.
> The big pitch was that you could have non-copyable items which you could move between virtual worlds.

The whole "moving objects between virtual worlds" thing is one of the most ridiculous concepts I see pushed by the crypto/NFT/web3 community.

As you've outlined there is a potential for this functionality in non-game/metaverse environments - even if NFTs fail to do it properly.

However, when this gets applied to video games at large, I really start to roll my eyes. Even if you could magically hand-wave away all the technical issues that go along with trying to implement something like this - why would developers even bother? Game economies have to be tightly controlled to combat things like RMT, botting, and unsanctioned item trading. Letting people transfer in any item they want basically makes that impossible.
It's not inevitable for the masses until the only way to do it is a headset. It will be only a tech for specialized markets and in controlled environments. Gamers, engineers, doctors. You're not going to do AR/VR while walking or when killing some time waiting at the restaurant. One reason is that not many people will carry a cumbersome headset with them. A phone is a better device for those scenarios.

Glasses or contact lenses could change that. I can't wear contact lenses anymore but I wear glasses all the time. Light glasses, not heavy ones.
I was actually very interested in their product when I first read about it...until I got a 14" M1 Macbook Pro.

If she does more activity, she gets hungrier. This will pressure more eating. Fighting that is a losing battle for majority of dieters.

Sure, I guess. There is a lot of fancy words there so I'm not sure I follow what you are saying.

If you are saying that lvt is the amount one would pay if someone else owned the land and you were leasing it then ya.

I would be happy to swap all my taxes for the cost to lease "my property". I cost way more to build my property than it is worth. When we took a year to travel we had to pay someone to live there.

This is not uncommon in rural America and I would be happy to swap this for my taxes.

Just know that doing this would kill most rural schools and defund most rural governments and related safety services including the volenteer ones.
> Boo hoo, you need to spend four hours of your life to take home multiples of the median American family's income. It blows my mind how conceited some people in this industry can be, and I'm glad I don't work with them. This is one reason why the take home is a great filter.

Point is they don't need to, and companies that insist on it are hurting only themselves.

I think we saw the same behavior with Microsoft in the early 2000s. When a company becomes more preoccupied with "shoring up the moat" to keep the stranglehold on the market more than it cares about innovating what's best for their consumer, the internal decay starts to happen.

Fortunately I think for both Apple and Microsoft, they still have internal resources in the upper-ranks that truly care about what's best for their customers. If those people end up being the prevailing voices they will succeed. I think a lot depends on whether the CEO has control of the vision, or if they're actually just managing operations. Cracks are shown in the form of who they are able to retain & hire and who is leaving.

I'll note that most other competitors that are engineer (rather than management) focused don't use a jira workflow approach and instead tend to be more of an adhoc "apply labels" and "we trust you to apply the correct labels".

The Jira complex state table tends to be something that isn't replicated as its part of the "we're not Jira" value proposition.
Oddly enough, I doubt you'd think that it sounds dismissive when you turn it around:

"I worked really hard on this, and then I got sick and everything fell through"
"Really sorry you had some bad luck, I know you worked hard on that"

Simply bringing up - in a public forum - that luck and hard work goes hand in hand isn't dismissive. It is just pointing out how things simply are. No one is dismissing that folks work hard on things. Working hard simply isn't enough for success.
I promise I am not a shill: Our team is on the verge of switching 100% to ClickUp. Are we crazy?
