There are a few things I've learned - or not learned - from releasing software.

1. People like to VENT. Some people are going to post nasty stuff even though they would normally act different in person.
2. Can you turn the nasty things into something positive? People vent because they are annoyed, or angry, or confused about something. Can that be fixed? Can that be improved? There may be a legitimate issue that could be improved even though they are not expressing themselves positively.
3. People vent because they care. They are invested enough in your software that they would like to see change.
4. For every person venting, there are probably 10x that are happy but just aren't commenting. Sometimes it seems that everybody is just unhappy, but really it's just the vocal minority.
5. Some people just need to be ignored.

People who work at FAANG calibre companies are professionals, perfectly capable of finding new positions that suit their skills and level of commitment. I think it’s infantilizing to take the CEO’s comments and imply that those employees are being mistreated.
I wish you'd include this information in your blog post as I was wondering the same thing and would be more inclined to contribute.
This thread has revealed an interesting cultural difference, with me being in the minority that gets hot water from a remote provider, as opposed to having a heating system and heating it myself.

Churnalism at its' finest
It's so interesting hearing from someone with a similar experience, thanks for sharing.

The CAT exams were the same for me, always scored really high and above my grade level. I aced the 12th grade one by age 14. My parents took that as evidence that I was doing well, and I didn't trust them enough to confide just how desperately lonely I was. The CAT (and SAT) ended up being incredibly poor indicators of preparation for college level courses, many of which I failed my first semester despite also being a self-starter who reads voraciously. It was just too much of a jump for me from the unstructured way I'd been teaching myself previously, and I was missing too much background knowledge.

Even with my high SAT scores it was really hard to get into college. I ended up at a tiny private religious school (I'm not religious) because they were the only one that accepted me, and one of the few I was even able to complete the application for because many admissions offices didn't make allowances for homeschooling in their application process (this was around 2001). After a few years there I managed to bring my GPA up high enough to transfer to a state school.

In retrospect, I believe things could have been really different if I'd had access to a councilor with academic experience to explain how the system worked and tell me what paperwork I would need for college applications or what subjects would be necessary for the program I wanted to do. Even in 2001 with internet access I just wasn't able to navigate that on my own and ended up making a lot of costly (time, money, embarrassment) mistakes. And I was a pretty smart kid, I taught myself to code for one. It turns out being smart didn't make up for that much of a knowledge gap.
I disliked the logging levels

I really wanted to have an app with a reasonable default level, then allow flags like --debug, --verbose plus --quiet and it never seemed to map like I wanted.

maybe it's obvious and I just don't see it.
Object Detection: Some Gory Details
Nope. They are both scams. One being a platform for larger investors facilitating and dumping on retail and a debt collector masquerading as a 'friendly' interest-free and financing platform for consumers with soft credit checks.

So yes, both are scams.
I agree with you, but that is how the situation will be sold.

"Go the Chinese way and you do not have to worry about nosy journalists and unexpected election losses. Rule at your will and be respected, or at least feared, by everyone underneath. And provide those subject with enough material comfort to become a bit complacent and afraid to shake up things."
It's not a valid source if the New York Post cites it as one /s
I would argue no-fault divorce is at least as responsible as social pressures. When someone can walk away with half + alimony + 20% child support even if they were at fault for breakdown of the marriage (i.e. adultery or abandonment) there may be a big incentive for them to do things destructive to the marriage for a payout.

HRL Laboratories, Quantum Software | Malibu, Calif. | ONSITE + WFH | Full-Time + Interns | https://quantum.hrl.com/careers/

HRL Laboratories is one of the longest-running groups working on quantum computers. We are driven by a research agenda (think Bell Labs), not a bottom line. We specifically work with silicon dot qubits, a kind of qubit technology that uses ordinary electrical pulses to control the computer, making it quite friendly and intuitive to generalist software engineers (unlike alternative technologies with which use lasers, suspended atoms, photons, or RF circuits). We are a full-stack research laboratory, starting at the bottom with fabrication equipment in clean rooms.

We run ourselves as a professional software engineering shop, so no hacky Matlab scripts on shared Dropbox folders you often find in academic labs. Software engineers can work in a variety of domains, from the lowest level control software in C++, to the mathematical rigor of quantum compilation in Common Lisp, to experimental physics software scientists use in Python. We even have a team dedicated to internal tools, written as small, well written web apps, to help the various engineers work more efficiently.

We accept interns year round. We just celebrated the success of our spring internship, and our summer internship is in full swing. Seats are limited.

Tech stacks for different quantum projects:

* Quantum Compilers: Common Lisp, Coalton, SBCL

* Internal Tools: JavaScript, Vue, Node

* Experimental Physics Software: Python, NumPy

* Low-Level Control System: C++, cmake, laboratory instruments :)

* Infrastructure: GitLab, Artifactory, Conda

We try to write portable code. Most developers run Mac or Windows, and we deploy to Linux or Windows.

We have a straightforward 5-step interview process:

1. (Optional) Screening call with recruiter, able to ask questions about compensation up-front for the role and level you're applying for.

2. Talk with an engineer, high-level background and tech talk.

3. Take-home coding exercise. One of our take-home exercises is to tally the top-100 words of a text corpus. They are truly exercises, not projects.

4. On-site interview, no whiteboarding, no quizzing. You interviewing us is just as important as we to you.

5. Reference checks.

The positions are for US citizens and US residents only. Company has a baseline WFH policy of 50% time, but we can be flexible.

Either apply through the front door on the website above, or email me via my profile.
> salaries I'm seeing are really good for the area too.

That I don't get. It should rather be good for the skills you have on offer, not where you are based. From my experience the offers are pretty sh*te and only gone up slightly. You also need to take into account being caught in the higher tax bracket. So if the offer is £120k you'll only get £73k, which these days isn't that much considering costs of living are not the same as 10 years ago.
That being said, I have received a couple of offers for over £150k recently so at least the trend is upwards. Still not enough for me to consider.
> some of you might decide that this place isn’t for you, and that self-selection is OK with me

Of course he's ok with it, no need to pay severance to employees that "voluntarily" quit.
I think a lot of the comments in this (HN) thread are falsely assuming that he is reacting to the tone of the comments, rather than the fact that they don't seem to like what he has shared. Having read only a small sample of the linked comments, they seem to be overall civil but negative, which is probably even worse news for an approval-hungry creator than a rude response. There is a ready-made narrative about the badness of user-posted internet commentary that a subset of internet commentators love to post about, but in this case it doesn't seem to fit. This is said as someone who has absolutely no investment in the trailer's particular art-style or whatever their issue is.

In any communication, regardless of the medium of transmission, a positive reaction on the part of the recipient of the message is not guaranteed.

Uzi Nissan (nissan.com) died of covid July 2020 and the website is now down
The thing that seems so weird to me about the current state of the economy is that you have lots of "smart people" shouting pretty loudly "A recession is coming! Is going to be bad! We may already be in one!!" I don't remember any recession - not the early 90s recession, not the .com bust, not the Great Recession - having anywhere near so much foreshadowing. Sure, there were people during the .com boom saying "Umm, you know, 'eyeballs' don't pay the bills and at some point you need to actually make money" and during the 00s housing bubble "I'm not even sure lenders are using the 'can you fog a mirror' test anymore when making loans", but it wasn't particularly widespread, and large sections of the economic and policy elite actively downplayed the possibility of recession.

Now though, I see the exact opposite. Tech moguls, central bankers, VCs, etc. etc. have been warning "this is going to be really bad" now for months. But, in actuality, it's not that bad (yet). Yes, inflation is really bad, but unemployment was 3.6% in May. It still feels like many companies are having a very difficult time hiring and keeping workers.

So why the difference? I don't want to go into "conspiracy theory territory", but I do think it's pretty undeniable that there is a marked difference in "warning levels" between the current time and recessions in the past 40 years.

I’m not sure I’d blame management for not having a crystal ball and seeing the market downturn in advance.

I can see them getting fired for not hitting their hiring and spending targets when the company has aggressive expansion goals.

And the idea you can hire thousands of people and exclude all potential deadwood is just fantasy.
> Even if you use a service that does depend on one company, you'd also want to run your own DNS services somewhere else.

So you asked for a better source, got one, then don't like the source? Would you prefer having heard it first-hand from Zuckerberg himself?
Where do you live and what is the political influence of your police? Be mindful of hyperbolic reporting, but definitely avoid interacting with our police. Chiefs of police, sheriffs, prosecutors - they run for office, get more funding, have more guanxi, and win at a higher than average rate. This ends up with entrenched systems of cronyism with those consequences. Sometimes the entirety of smaller municipalities are funded by traffic violations and the like. These things are super regional though. The nationwide police union is shameful.
That is true (and pretty obvious), but the attitude to separatism was not remotely relevant to my argument, which is the whole point.
Here's a meta review of Life Cycle Analysis that says otherwise.

Different countries, different methodologies, different assumptions but recycling being better than burning which is in turn better than landfill across a range of environmental impacts is fairly consistent.

> Overall, this review found that for all the studies which aiming to compare waste treatment
technologies, mechanical recycling comes out as the environmentally preferable option in
most cases

Hopefully this:

> And once people do find out how badly they have been mislead they tend to have a backlash and turn completely against anything an environmentalists suggests.

also applies to you finding out that you've been lied to by people who have a vested interest in generating exactly that backlash against environmentalist.

This is one of the main reasons I was happy to leave the game industry after eight years of doing it.

Working incredibly hard to build a product served to a group of people that are often hurtful emotionally stunted man-children is just a deeply demoralizing experience.

Obviously, many gamers aren't like that. But a fucking whole lot of them are, and they are extremely vocal, and it doesn't take many of them to suck the joy out of the job.

Imagine a bar where every time you walked in the door a half dozen dudes invariably turned around on their barstools and told you your clothes look like shit, your face is disgusting, you hair style is stupid, you smell like trash and, you should just fucking kill yourself now. How often would you want to go there?

Unfortunately, I think games themselves often encourage this mentality. Most games are about making the player feel empowered inside a virtual universe that exists purely for their own exploitation and satisfaction. The whole point of playing games is to get an escape from the consequences of our actions.

People that are strongly drawn to that or spend too much time in that mindset are basically training themselves for a toxic mindset when it comes to interacting with actual humans.

I think a lot about this talk by Max Kreminski: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvlZinAvpwg

In there, if I remember right, he refers to many games as "entitlement simulators", which is a profound truth.
