> Cosmetic digital items (e.g. non-gameplay-impacting) are like a hundred-million-dollar+ industry.

Exactly. If I were a game studio given a choice between letting my users bring in objects from anywhere or forcing them to buy my objects, I would pick the latter.

> > US is >50% urban

One variable is that it really depends on the definition of "suburb" each person is using.

Take the greater Silicon Valley area. There's only three small urban cores, San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose. Even within those, a lot of the area is suburbs and even semi-rural and agricultural. So by that viewpoint, most of Silicon Valley is suburbs.
I think the way devops is right now is that a few great tech companies have it as an interesting role where there is time to write code and improve things. Most companies treat devops as regular ops, as in developers do all the interesting work and expect ops to be on call 247 to keep all the crappy bits running.
> As something of a counterpoint, a literal 4-hour assignment isn't that bad--especially as an alternative to a day of interviews.

Don't forget to multiply that by however many companies they're interviewing at.
There are some mapbox employees replying to comments here. I think some appear to be defensive of their employer, but if there are some who are in agreement with the article, I can't tell.

It's hard to know one way or the other. Might be nice for employees to identify themselves.

Personally I was intrigued with the formation of the union and knew that many of their employees were quite liberal:

The company evolved from something called Development Seed - basically a progressive humanitarian and development focused company. It is different from most SV companies. And based on open source and open data. Them stopping key open source projects and charging for use of just their mapping JS library (not data usage, any use of the code anywhere) was shocking.

I'd love to hear from an original principled humanitarian employee on what happened to the company and/or them. Maybe money is better.
Maybe they left?

We don't hear much about the union at all. We assume from the usual SV unions that it was all about identity, inclusion and diversity but perhaps it was more about this conflict of their humanitarian roots and money.
Why do people keep talking about something that doesn't even exist?
Who is making these rules about what jokes can be made, and by what mechanism are they enforced? I've never seen anything about that.

There are social consequences to making certain kind of jokes. Like there always have been? But which kinds of jokes and what sort and degree of consequences are changing.

You can have an issue with that and resist it, but the mechanics of this institution are not new. These unspoken rules about who can say what and what will happen if you transgress them are the invisible infrastructure of social connection and ultimately society. The rules are changing fast and by different players than is traditional, but the fact that there are rules and consequences for violating them is as old as us.
They can do that with actual cash and precious metals, too.

And have!

Jira's web interface I can live with. I've internalized the workaround for the UI bugs and I've learned to live with the slowness. Sure it reflects all the worst aspects of your organizations structure and process but that's not really it's fault.

What is it's fault is their REST API. In theory it's a well architected API. Follows REST principles. You can tell they read the whitepaper. But you have to jump through a ton of hoops to get any data beyond surface details.

Example: Want to find what epic a User Story is part of? It's a custom field. Which one? depends on how your instance has evolved over time. You'll have to scan through all the fields to find the field id.

This is what happens when an API isn't designed to fulfill a particular need but instead is meant to be infinitely customizable. Ergonomic APIs are impossible.
Right, that works until you need more funding (unless you can raise from employees, but that also has consequences and limits). I'm guessing that Mapbox is angling for an acquisition or more funding at some point.
That difference is from his comments on the toy model of 1000 cubic feet room and 100 cubic feet per minute recirculating air.

In an operating room or chip fab, the room would be over pressure and the new air coming into the room would be filtered. The cleanliness of that air would be determined by the quality of the filter.

Also, if you need air that clean, you need to have strategies for all sorts of things besides filtering.

The point is, you need to be very careful when you put numbers on the internet, and when you read numbers on the internet. Numbers make things feel more real than they are.

For me to actually trust the numbers here, I would need to see the graphs for multiple runs of each filter.
Good. I’d also like one of these but with Citrix.
>I’m pretty sure they told you how they feel. Why are you assuming things not stated?

Again, was just pointing out that this article about 'Political Activism' is getting a ton of traction on the one day of the year when we (in America) recognize the historical oppression of both LGBT and black people.

Am I missing a trend of app icons that recognize other 'political' causes? Because if the author is mad about rainbow or Juneteenth coloring of their apps, they should just say that and not self-censor to the point of ambiguity.

If a bunch of apps are changing their icons to support random propositions, then I agree with them, but I don't think that is what is happening.

>Also, there is a Juneteenth flag? It’s a full time job to keep up these days.

Keep up with what exactly (By the way, no one is asking you to take on this job)? Flags? Because I can guarantee that the rate of flag-designing is multiple-orders of magnitude lower than it was even in the early 20th century.
I’m kinda surprised, I’d have guessed Smaug if people were going to associate him with a Tolkien villain.
Our process for an SME in the UK:

CV screened.

30 minute call with engineering manager

Tech task < an hour for a senior level applicant. Nothing here that’s difficult at all

Technical interview where we ask questions based on the content of that exercise

Offer

Even with that we’re struggling, but we’re loathe to reduce it because the technical exercise has shown that a lot of people talk the talk but can’t walk the walk. We’re doing it in a way that’s “write an API end point for something real world-y” so no leetcode and it’s incredible how many people say they know Framework X but can’t even do this basic task.
> Four hours of focus time is A LOT for a candidate with family responsibilities and heavily restricts your recruitment pool.

4 hours is probably OK for a single role. However if you're interviewing at 10 different companies it adds up to a lot more.
I'd rather do four hours of a take home exercise on my own time, than block out an entire day to interview with 5-6 people in a row.
I mean at $35/user month it better include SSO. That's insanely expensive for the limited scope of this service. I'd rather buy Jetbrains at $32.45/mo (after annual and 3 years of membership) and get a full suite of IDEs including remote pair programming that's compatible on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
And even if you allow that there are families with more kids, three bedrooms is kind of a minimum if you put the parents in one, the girls in the second, and the boys in the third.

Of course, for many people today kids sharing a bedroom is tantamount to child abuse.

Not OP, but I have a lot of experience with Merino wool.

My opinion is that it's great, but expensive and not durable as outerwear. It snags easily and if you're wearing the thinner stuff, you will end up with runs and even tears after a while. If you can afford $60 t-shirts, that might be fine for you, but I haven't had a wool t-shirt that it didn't wear through the armpits on after a couple of years of regular wear. The thicker stuff holds up a bit better, but is obviously not as nice in hot climates. If you're wearing it as a base layer in a cooler climate, I love it.

It's a fun little inexpensive hobby to get into if you find fungi fascinating. Oyster mushrooms in particular are very easy to grow.
It can be a matter of perspective. I go by the necessity -> comfort -> luxury scale.

Where, necessity = roof over head. Comfort = a warm, safe place with simple amenities, people sharing bedroom and so on.

So, for me, Luxury = anything beyond that, as in no one shares bedroom, guest bedroom and so on.
Well, Zoom dynamically adopts to whatever connection pipe you have, you get "Your internet connection is unstable" when the net is really really bad - several seconds pings and packet loses etc. If you see it too often then the test is failed :)
"Pair Programming" is underappreciated. It's such an effective tool at both development extremes; learning or onboarding, and challenging programmatic or strategic development issues.

WFH makes it much easier to open a shared window for collaboration and it's the one thing not mentioned in most of the literature

Ah, that's pretty brutal. Thanks for the information I will keep that in mind. Seems less funny now. :/
I tried giving atlassian some feedback recently when they asked for it (via email). Unfortunately the very end of their survey had some fancy widget to upload a recording (which was absolutely unnecessary). The widget didn't load, and because of that the form didn't allow a submission - so I didn't bother figuring out how to give them my feedback, even after i had done a 3 page survey.

I hope it was a widespread issue.

You're not using tcc, because the language literally tells you so, you get a GCC error, and you get 10x slower compilation time.

I think it's pretty clear.

Anyway, now that we are clear on the compilation speed claim, can you please list a couple of those extraordinary claims?

This.

The idea that it's somehow morally lacking to put less value on performance on machines are literally thousands of time faster than those used for early programming has always struck me as rather odd.
For the record, I was referring to 3-4 bedroom, and not 1-2 bedrooms. If one is looking for subsidized housing, isn't kids sharing room a reasonable compromise?

Regarding 3-4 bedroom, yes for most of the world they will be luxury.
> As something of a counterpoint, a literal 4-hour assignment isn't that bad--especially as an alternative to a day of interviews.

As a counter counterpoint, that only makes sense if the candidate is applying to a single place.

If the candidate has lined up 4 interviews, they're not going to get 16 hours in the week to complete them. The fifth place that has no 4 hour interviews will get the candidate.

Yep, good tip
Ah yeah, I had forgotten about the issue of presenting separate views to each eye, good point.
By normalizing this, scammers may start impersonating Meta and easily convincing people to send them a photo holding their license etc. and maybe even trick them into holding up a social security card.
Couldn’t they just give them a public/private key combo and solve the exact same problem without maintaining a blockchain?
I was asked during a merger, which work management tool do you think we should keep/use? I replied, don't ask me, I'll hate it anyways.

It's not because I hate Agile, Scrum, or even Waterfall (although I do hate SAFe). I just know these tools all suffer from similar drawbacks, and somebody will ultimately codify all our organizational problems into the tool. Then, rather than spend an hour a week of their own time, they'll create a new mandatory field and ask thousands of people to spend an hour a week each populating that field.
Yep. We often talk about enterprise software, and how it's often bad and, has superfluous features and almost no UX design because it is made for buyers rather than for the real users. Well, guess what. We're the users now.
I don't disagree, but just to point out the issue with transitioning, even in a basic sense, is that Jira allows and can invisibly create new states for pretty critical pieces.

Your case might be in a "Closed" state on the UX, but internally that can be "custom state 48083232" because some wingus decided to first start by naming it "to be closed" and then changed it to just "Closed". That can be different for every project.

This is why an import tool is a complex thing to figure out. You have to translate all the potential custom states into the "we're not Jira"'s states that make sense.
A E12 filter filters out 99.5% of particles above 0.3 microns.

An H13 filter filters out 99.95% of particles above 0.3 microns.

Assuming a volume of 10000 particles above 0.3 microns:

An E12 filter will leave 50 particles.

An H13 filter will leave 5 particles.

The "rootlocus" filter would leave 0.5 particles.

So yes, I would say your filter is 100x better because it literally is.
The basic premise of web3 is decentralization of value transfer and digital ownership. Examples of value transfer: payments, swapping assets, escrow, auctions, crowdfunds. Examples of digital ownership: limited-edition art ownership, domain names, collectibles, game assets, shares, access tokens, user accounts, private keys, and maybe eventually other assets.

Real-world use cases could replace parts of PayPal, Patreon, Bandcamp or Kickstarter with a crypto-native solution to decentralize some parts of payments, user accounts, and ownership. Where is the killer Web3 app? It's only been a ~year or so since Web3 has entered mainstream consciousness, and the few-years-old tech is still far from a usable state. Crypto has a long way yet to go: Proof of Stake, rollups, zk privacy preservation, light clients, and a host of other solutions need to be first solved for it to be widely usable. In the meantime, most current Web3 apps are best to view as high-risk "beta" experiments.

> The Web was about making information accessible to all, Web 3 is trying to provide value to a few, where everything is done for the benefit of the few rather than benefit of all.

This is a gross misunderstanding of web3. Take a look at NFT art world, almost all the media and information is freely accessible, to the point that it is regularly ridiculed with "Right Click Save" by the out-crowd. This is distinctly different than Patreon and Bandcamp models, where artists might put digital media behind a paywall, making the information only accessible to a limited few. See more here[1]

>Because in 10 years, what currently exists as the only option on iPad and iPhone will be the only option on MacBooks too.

People love to say this, but there's no evidence it's true.

Both Windows and MacOS now have features that can limit the sources of software to vendor-approved channels, but they're also very very easy to turn off. You can still run whatever the hell you want on a Mac, and on Windows -- by downloading from vendor sites, or even by building from source.

Neither platform is EVER likely to block this. There's no upside to it. But having the OPTION to lock down either platform is GREAT because, well, we all have an Aunt Millie or whatever who clicks on everything and can't be arsed to learn to use the web safely, etc.

Is iOS locked down? Sure! I love it that way.
> but it would be trivial to let people transfer in cosmetic items (think stickers, color schemes, etc.) based on another ecosystem/game/achievement/etc.

It would not. Every one of those items would need to be intentionally added by the game devs. Every piece would need to be created, modeled, textured, and animated.

I suppose it would be trivial if you created a pile of uninteresting and uninspiring games with the exact same engine, assets, and art style, like so many NFT's of depressed-looking monkeys

If you count places like Evanston, Yonkers, and Pasadena as Urban - then you get ~56% urban. If you pretty much only count places where the vast majority of buildings are multifamily - then you only get ~30%.
Yes - I understand the theory, but, it is not exactly clear to me how private property rights - the things you actually buy when you buy land - are an issue for collective justice, and it is less clear how charging the a land value tax change this.

I think the core of it is that taxes are for the people to pay the government for services, and the value of land does not correlate to the amount of services used.

for example, a single person, dwelling on an acre of land may consume very little water, school usage, police assistance, etc. A 40 story apartment on an acre will consume a great deal more of those services. The value of the land is not taxed right now because it is understood that the improvements to the land dictate the cost of the services that the government needs remuneration for.

The government derives its mandate to tax from private property owners' demands that they provide services. Not vise versa.
I think you are just out of touch. Don’t kids already spend tons of time in Roblox, Minecraft and Fortnite? Fortnite has concerts by artists like Travis Scott that are massively attended, fashion areas where you can shop virtual clothing, etc. You really think this trend will dissipate as the tech gets better?
I'm 4 months into a 46L bag trip and can see a lot of things I can cut down on. Head home in 2 months to reset and head off again!
I disagree with this. Minds don’t changed based on one interaction. It changed based on your observations from the world.

Pride logos and icons in companies have made it so you can’t “not think” of LGBT anymore for example. This is HUGE for a lot of people. I’ll give you a specific example, before pride no one in Iran dared speak about LGBT. Now it’s unavoidable when all the apps and services you use have a pride version.

This has already lead to more acceptance privately re: lgbt. The next steps are pushing acceptance to welcoming to them “you’re not going to be treated differently”.

It’s one tool in your entire arsenal.
Well that's what it literally says on the website:

I've only owned merino wool socks but they're fantastic (as long as you get ones with a fairly high percentage of merino wool. 50% is ok but >60% is ideal). I can walk 10 miles in my Darn Tough wool socks, take them off, and they have no smell the next day. If I tried the same thing in cotton socks, they'd smell like feet until I wash them. Wool is pricier but IMO better at thermal regulation, and merino doesn't have the scratchiness that a lot of people associate with wool. I haven't tried shirts because they're pricy and I'm a bit worried about durability, but if you have to carry your wardrobe maybe it's worth it.
> Seems like a good way to weed out people that are constantly taking time off to deal with kid issues.

It’s possible to interview at a company and decide that it’s not for you, and frankly I wish I’d done that more often over the years. I used to be more inclined to ignore the little voice saying “aren’t these warning signs?”, accepted the offer anyway, and quickly realized the little voice had absolutely been right.
I'm super happy that you found such a fulfilling role!

Was wondering if you could elaborate on this a bit:

> I set up a small company, so I could buy toys, and started following my own muse.
That's a nice theory, but in practise people have been mailing to Slack, using meetings to read emails and using JIRA to track Git commits.

Tools are just slaves to reality, not the other way around. If a legacy top-down organisation wants you do to a certain thing a certain way, and you have no recourse but to do as you're told, that's your organisation's fault and nothing else. You can either gain a position where you can make changes, or leave the company. Complaining about a tool that has no influence over your work process really doesn't change anything.
Ooohh. That pg_blocking_pids(blockedpid) function is a nice one to add to the arsenal.
