I don't think that's at all right.

EE is hard. Bad EEs are unemployable. There's no demand. EE is also beautiful and absolutely fascinating. You get to:

- Do beautiful math

- Build things and get your hands dirty

- Do super-creative design

... and so on. It's just fun!

I have a Ph.D in electronic engineering from a top school, and I don't regret one minute of the program. I graduated during a downturn, and finding a job was neigh-impossible, despite being one of the best graduates from probably the best EE Ph.D program in the nation. Industry wanted experience. SE jobs were easy to find and paid better. I eventually found an EE job but many didn't.

I noped it out of the field after that. The core problem is EE companies are no fun. Employees just aren't treated well. IC design jobs mostly have all the accoutrements of Office Space and Dilbert: cubicle farms, rigid bureaucracies, limited vacation policies, button-down shirts, and so on. None of these things make people more productive or contribute to the bottom line.

I do EE only as a hobby now.

I don't think the trick is to water down schools, so much as to make the industry less oppressive.
Physics Data for Machine Learning
Yeah, my friends and I have used a low-traffic Slack channel for about four years. The era of the “free lunch” is over. Time to move on.

The reason he's thinking of is that they want to annoy people into enabling 3rd party cookies for tracking purposes, with security/performance/etc. as the excuse.
Thankss :)
Deep Learning Papers Are Kinda Bullsh-T
They can't work well together because they speak different languages (like React vs Figma), thus the friction.

One thing they can do is they can come up with a design system. Let them do the case studies together and came up with the solution together.

A design system, in essence:

- is a common language they can communicate with.

- is their consensus that they could agree upon.

- if they do the case study right, it will be a set of sane designs that works great on the target platform (Web, mobile, etc.)
The trouble with the NIMBY/BANANA labels is it basically amounts to saying "you care about something I don't care about". I know it's hard to believe, but other people do have different interests than you.

I don't think anyone sees the gender disparity in incarceration and thinks "this is fine and normal". There is a lot of research going into understanding the causes, and effort going into programmes that combat young male delinquency etc... .
The article does not mention how the attribution to employer is done though...?

Could it be that some Oracle employed contributors are using a different email when submitting pull requests?
Software development is completely abstract and is one of the most difficult things humans do. An average codebase can easily hold millions of lines of code with millions more hidden in libraries that all have to work together. The complexity is incredible really.

This post in no way diminishes the complexity of the hard sciences.
Installing AC everywhere will make things worse, because of the massive polluting production and energy demand.

I believe changing the way of life and enabling old customs like siesta would be a much more climate friendly short term solution.
This. One cannot post anything on Glassdoor today without first establishing an account. Nearly all companies that create accounts use services to “enrich” your user data via the IP, email address, etc. so they grab and keep that data. It is certainly no longer anonymous if it ever was.
I graduated as an EE, worked as a digital designer (writing verilog) but the job felt perilous and pay didn’t compensate for that.

As a software dev, I can find a job seemingly anywhere. As an digital designer, there seemed to be 10 or so companies I could work at globally.

Given the boom/bust cycles the chip industry experiences, and the few employers, the pay should be way higher.
I used "Winnie Ille Pu" to achieve a grade 9. I was told it meant I spelled my name correctly on the top of the paper.
> You don't have to live in a tiny apartment, you can live anywhere you want but you'll have to commute.

Running the numbers I couldn't afford it. Property is very expensive in the UK. We have a few of her relatives come visit and they kept telling me how big my house is, they kept bringing it up and I thought it was British sarcasm and they were being assholes because my house is less than 1200 sq feet on a third of acre. They were being genuine. My house is one of the smallest in my town, I don't think you can even legally build them this small anymore.

> I don't think there's many owning their own houses in NYC or DTLA, it's weird to compare like this.

I don't live there for the same reason, I can make more money but it will all go to paying rent for a tiny apartment.
> The US is more "employer-friendly" if you like

Understatement of the year.
You don't mention what your preferred field is, which makes it a bit harder to answer your question.

Having said that, I would personally focus on algorithms first and Leetcode/HackerRank/etc second. Those websites are amazing for putting the theory into practice and for getting used to coding a small problem from scratch, but some problems will go from hard to easy just by virtue of knowing (or not) a single algorithm (yes, Breadth-First Search, I'm talking about you).

Always "seemed" a lot cleaner to me.

I dont see why it doesnt accomodate SQL just fine.

JSON was never intended primarily for user readability. It's for sending data over a wire. Its focus was on parsing simplicity, ease of serialization and deserialization and to be incidentally readable.
I was speaking strictly about access of differing view / value systems to the voting ballot, not judging the systems a whole. China sucks more.

Just about every EU-based company allows for network defense and visibility to include things like SSL inspection and egress monitoring. Some may consider this surveillance, but what needs to be stated from a governance standpoint is that this monitoring is reasonable from a risk mitigation standpoint and the expectation needs to be written within acceptable usage policy.

Even more restrictive countries like Germany are fine with this.
Lookup product management. They typically do this.
Nobody is saying that. They just don't want Facebook to play an active role in making things worse.
Most services have a "radio" station based on that song/genre that gives you almost endless listening time for that type of content.
Alternate interpretation: Nutanix is fully compliant with the terms of Apache 2 and refused to be extorted into paying MinIO money.

The press release is high on FUD (can’t revoke an irrevocable license, no evidence presented they have deployed the AGPLv3 version) and low on details why it took them three years to issue a press release when an injunction would have been granted pretty quick if Nutanix were truly in violation of the Apache license.

I don’t claim to know the details but I do know a little bit the rights under Apache2 and (unless my understanding is incorrect) MinIO’s claims are baffling.
You're not bombing me with uninteresting rethorical questions are you?
> Does inflation include rent?

Inflation is measured by the changing price of several things. Yes, rent is one of them.
Sadly, there are some landlords who do feel entitled to be making a living from renting out a single house. OK, this may be an extreme but it pretty much sums up the parasitic nature of our dysfunctional housing market.
> they ask algorithmic questions and leetcode.

What kind of companies have you applied to and which roles?
I don't really agree (and I'm happy to bash on Google).

This is basically the poster child for a case when someone should be using 3rd party cookies: A single entity manages multiple domains and shares cookie auth across them.

It's not like the other flow is somehow making you less identifiable - they're literally just passing the same information in a more round-about, less usable manner.

I genuinely think the current approach of blacklisting everything with essentially no recourse to enable a fine-grained whitelist related to cookies going to an alternate domain is fundamentally web-hostile.

The web worked because you could link to 3rd parties. We're currently throwing the baby out with the bath water because our government is dysfunctional and unable to regulate tech privacy.
Contracts between two parties exist to serve the interest of those parties.

First of all, kudos to you for building and shipping a product that you can charge for. The website looks really good and polished. I don’t mind the countdown and introductory pricing. If people find it useful, this should definitely help with conversion. Good luck!
As a result of climate change you get more extreme weather, but how does that automatically result in dire times?
It's definitely NOT illegal in EU if the user is appropriately informed, usually in your employment contract you sign a clause about that. Even the government does it to their employees.
That's literally true, though?

To make the analogy work for you, you have to add something about doors being unlocked, or somebody else having the key to your home.
Why Upwork is NOT the best place to find offshore Developers
Agreed that #1 is due to it being an AWS service. There are a number of issues with Cognito that are shared with other AWS services.

That doesn't necessarily disqualify Cognito for all situations. But certain auth providers (including my employer, but also many other solutions) can be deployed elsewhere (in other clouds, on-prem, etc).

> knowing the laws of their professions is "mudane". That's why no one takes programmers seriously.

You cannot know laws that are not there, and the very definition of a lot of software positions these day is ‘do evil’.
Headline implies falling wages and rising inflation. It's really rising wages but faster rising inflation. So to be clear, it's just real wages falling.

I'm amused there's no mention of brexit. I feel that's left the public conscious already even though the economic effects will ripple across the country for decades.
Win95 was the OS/2 workstation killer.

OS/2 Lan Server was the direct competition to Windows NT. When NT 4.0 hit (with the hardware discovery and Win95 interface) that was it for Lan Server.

OS/2 Lan Server was a dream server OS for IBM environments. Those things could crank out File/Print and 3270 Gateway etc services for months without a reboot. They were great during the time, and could collect dust in the back of a branch back office for years, kind of like the AS/400s.

Geez, this point of view of humanity makes it sound surprising that our species still exists.
Seeing by myself how the Korean kids hack out gold medals in international math/physics olympiads by drilling the hell out in cram schools (and then most of them going to medical school with these credentials anyway), I really don’t have a good impression for these contests. Often the problems seem incredibly contrived and its connection to the real world (or at least higher-level academia) seems dubious. These contests might seem to test creativity in a superficial glance, but these cram schools have a database of past/potential problems in their “problem bank” and once high schoolers grind away thousands of these questions for a long period of time they can solve these like robots. (Obviously you still need to be smart enough to do this, but I really don’t believe it is a good nurturer of creativity.) I’ve seen lots of friends passionate and skilled in math and science but either fail to do well in these contests, or
don’t give a single fuck about it due to the problems I’ve described.
Don't fall down that rabbit hole.

Why? Because you won't get much surprise from a static recoding. This is dynamic which has its charm for some.

There is a dimension that is missing on tue conversation on pay:

The farther you are from the end customer, the lower your pay is going to be.

There are too many levels of abstraction and distance between EE work product and the end consumer.

Reduce that distance, and watch EE pay skyrocket.
It's not worth worrying about but it's worth caring about IMO.

Buying a sandwich from a sandwich shop who's landlord will likely donate to politicians that want to make your life suck is the smaller stakes but closer to home version of nations buying oil that funds people who hate them.

Most of developed countries except the US.

People have legitimate expectations of privacy in the office and/or during working time.

Employment means selling your skills and effort, not becoming a servant or a slave in a feudal society.

Additionally, having delicate information in the hands of the company in general or sysadm/security engineers create a ton of liabilities.

There has to be a balance between security needs, corporate surveillance, privacy and worker rights.
I don’t trust online reviews in general.

I read 1 and 2 star reviews to check for anything I may need to be cautious about but I generally assume that 5 star reviews are intentional padding.

Do you find yourself leaving 5 star reviews regularly? Leaving reviews at all? Are you more motivated to leave a review if a bad experience or a good experience?
UI/UX has to be treated as an iterative process. Collaboration between multiple parties (eng/dev/design/pm/etc) is almost orthogonal to the root problem I've seen: "design" gets treated as "this is it" and the moment you start being 2-3 pixels off, or a shade of red isn't what was in figma/ps/etc, "you're deviating".

"These were already signed off/approved/whatever".

"But... you ONLY did a wireframe of 3 screens, for iPhone 13 only, in portrait, and ... we already have to support desktop/tablet/mobile."

"Stop deviating - we already interviewed customers!"

"But... you don't actually show what should happen in various hover/transition states. You haven't accounted for multiple lines of text in these screens. You haven't accounted for different font sizes... etc"

"Stop deviating".

I've had a couple of good experiences working with a couple design folks in the last year, but EVEN in those cases, "design" was sort of treated like "one and done".

Once the product is in the hands of real users, feedback - implicit and explicit - comes in, and there should be processes in place to make rapid adjustments - possibly multiple iterations - to deal with the feedback.

That's one of the biggest hurdles I've seen, even when there's decent collaboration and respect.

Embedding the authentication in the link is both a security risk and more complex than simply relying on the cookie.

They could have opted to do what Twitter does: Leave everything accessible wide open even if the file was created in a private context such as Twitter DM:s

Locking down access to static files that you ideally would like to serve and cache straight from storage is a tricky thing in regards to performance, security and maintenance complexity.
The assumption is that every single thing Google does is a dark pattern to track you.

In this case you are probably right, but surveillance is Google's business model.

I think for them it makes sense as they are 100% dependent on imports and food can hardly grow outside. In the UK or US doesn't make much sense I agree as we have plenty of fertile lands. What do you think?
I now get where the confusion is coming from - custody and child support are two totally different things, legally speaking.

I'm only talking about child support, not custody. Whatever the custody arrangement, a person can't walk out on their financial obligation to a child they fathered. This means that yes, even if there is no visitation, the child is still entitled to child support.
As soon as doing morally questionable things becomes illegal I think you’ll find that a lot more people are willing to take a stand.
Also, SPARC was one of the rare processors which had an integrated Ethernet interface, which allowed it to interface itself with outside worlds with negligible latency.

First generation Niagara swept the floor with Intel chips on server and XML tasks without breaking a sweat. With massive number of cores and Unstallable Pipelines (extremely fast context switching for its time IIRC), it was a drool-worthy architecture to read and indulge into.

It was good.
Finally, a comment thread who GETS IT
That’s one perspective and while I understand it it’s not one I’ve agreed with. An alternate view is that it forces all parts of your tech stack to be open sourced even things that have nothing to do with, or at most ancillary relation to the relevant service. OSS software is valuable but AGPL steps (in my view anyway) waaaay outside of what’s reasonable to try to prevent servicifying OSS. I think most companies would be fine with a GPL-like license that forced you to share the source for that code even if it’s behind a service. The viral nature of AGPL makes it toxic to almost everyone unless you’re willing to pay the copyright holders for special permission. That’s certainly fine but to me it’s less OSS and more like a viral source available license.
Link? I want to test my rusty German comprehension
Nice one! Is it just me though, or is he becoming quite repetitive in what he says in interviews these days, e.g. retire Javascript?
You comment a lot about calculating performance, but this is not engineering.

Engineering is about suiting the needs to the means. In the realm of widely-used webapps, the need is 1. speed to market, 2. features and 3. maybe stability against errors 4. if successful, scalability.

And our engineering is perfectly successful for that. We are able to output features after features, we’ve factorized the boilerplate, and we publish our apps before they’re even ready.

It is folly to think that "Install Chinese government spyware on a phone" is the same level of effort as "Force the Chinese government to work on advanced persistent threats and install massive exfiltration malware on some of the most secure networks on the planet".

If your job is to pick the dependencies, your job is also to understand what picking those dependencies means.

It rings hollow to throw your hands up at the license part and say - “not my job”. It is. Understanding the legal risk of that dependency is as important as understanding the technical risk.

If your company doesn’t have a license policy, ask for a lawyer to draft that. But I’ve worked at some pretty penny-ante companies before and even they had an acceptable license policy.

If yours truly doesn’t have one, part of your job as the person building the software is to get one drafted.
Thanks a lot for the support, @sbm15!

The issue is the benefits system broke down during lockdowns. The sanctions/checking if you can actually work part was suspended and the civil service never really restarted it. Now more than 5 million people are claiming out of work benefits despite there being an abundance of work.

Employers are complaining because they are competing against a benefits system that theoretically acts as unemployment insurance and encourages people to find work, but in reality is currently just giving out free money. It's a sort of real time experiment in UBI for the lower paid classes. The result is predictable: many firms cannot compete against the state paying people not to work.

Lockdowns have had all sorts of weird side effects like this. COVID became a sort of wildcard justification for anything at all, and government departments used it to do whatever they secretly wanted to do anyway (give out free money without the "being mean" parts, working from home even as backlogs at their departments soar, etc).
Alternative point of view: opensource isn't the same as freeloading
It may not be a myth but no one has turned up any evidence that it is true. Ice cream in the modern sense--a frozen custard churned during freezing--is not known to have existed before that time. The first published recipes came out of France, though of course, the French cribbed many of their best ideas from others.

Before Nancy Johnson's machine, the churning was done laboriously by hand.
one of the most annoying things about smalltalk/pharo is that the "marketing" tell you it's simple and the syntax fit in a sheet of paper, yet all the times i tried to try it i had to go through a lot of pharo introductory tutorial before i could even start to type an "hello world".
