If you're familiar with Clayton Christensen, he has a theory called "jobs-to-be-done".

The basic premise is that you "hire" an object/person for the "job-to-be-done" which is usually the outcome you're after.

I like to use this thinking in problems like this.

Developers are not designers and vice versa. You don't want them doing each other's job in most cases.

You cannot give too much of a solution to these two specialties or it makes it near impossible to work together as there isn't enough slack / autonomy to do their actual job.

What they both can share is a common "vision" for the sought respective outcomes. With the stage set, it is usually worthwhile to have the developers consult the designers and vice versa throughout the process. The more each side educates each other, the more "correct" and "true to the design" the result is.

The one thing I have noticed in a big tech career is that people simply just don't communicate with each other. Majority of these problems can be solved if you put the two disciplines in the same room and give a challenging problem to solve with the common vision set. You'd be surprised at all the amazing ideas each party has when they can express them to each other.
This was actively discussed in the US prior to March 2022, so I don't understand how you can hold that belief.

No. Intel can sign arbitrary binaries which get executed in a more privileged mode and without leaving any traces. That’s the problem.
Just a reminder, this is who we wanted to put in control of the Internet.

Ah, did you want to compare it to Azure AD or Azure AD B2C? As you allude to, they are different solutions aimed at different spaces (IAM vs CIAM).

I'm less familiar with Azure AD B2C than with Cognito, but from my research and tinkering, Azure AD B2C has similar limits on UX customizability (basically CSS was the only way to change the look and feel when I checked it out), but more flexibility around workflows, using custom policies: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/...

Azure AD B2C wins on pricing (no SAML surcharge, I believe and the per MAU beats Cognito's until you get to 10M users for p1), but, as you'd expect, is less straightforward.

As far as regions/availability, I couldn't find a straightforward answer. This: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/... indicates you can choose one of 4 places to store user data, but it isn't clear to me if there are multiple regions/data centers that apply if you choose, say, France. Cognito's availability story is much clearer.

This.

There's such a vast catalog of human-composed ambient music, that I just simply don't see why someone would prefer to listen to this algorithmically generated soulless muzak.

Same goes for the "lo-fi beats for study" channels. There are so many good instrumental hip-hop albums. MF Doom instrumentals (Special Herbs series), J Dilla instrumentals, Boards of Canada, Madlib instrumentals, etc. Why listen to that trite crap? It's the equivalent of "eating out" in McDonald's.
It made sense at the time. It was too big for Sun to handle alone (well, with Fujitsu, IIRC). Sun had a lot of things on their plate at the time. Sadly, chip architecture was something they could drop without much loss.

Also remember, this was the era when Apple needed to switch from the PPC to Intel too. There was a major shift in the server market from older architectures (Sparc, Power, Alpha) where everyone was standardizing on x86. It’s only been recently where ARM has been performance competitive. Only then could the power savings from ARM be a killer feature from a $/unit work point of view.

And ARM gets to leverage many different users/fabs for chips. It’s a very different ecosystem than having a single company drive an entire architecture, regardless of how great the tech was. (And support software, porting, etc.)

That's essentially what I find contentious, is whether "subject to the terms and conditions of this license" it is irrevocable or it is irrevocable irrespective of whether the terms of the license are being violated. With its phrasing I assumed it's the latter.

I think a large part of it is that software engineering is barely _engineering_, in the traditional sense. And I do not mean that in a derogatory way, I have an EE degree, but write software all day long.

There are extremely few EE jobs available to be people with only undergrad degrees, and literally zero available to those without college degrees. This is a huge limit on the number of potential job applicants.

So you'd _think_ this would drive salaries up, but...

There's also just fewer companies doing EE work, where basically every company on earth does something with software at this point.

So there is a supply/demand component, but there just aren't that many places people who want to do EE can actually work. If you're top-of-the-field in EE/low-level CE, you will be paid handsomely.
Given the role of a jury as ground truth to the legal system, it's rather dangerous to hold that a jury can "misbehave".

This is what I wrote in response to the "What is your biggest frustration with free software?" question:

> I would have to say my biggest frustration is not with the software but with some people in the free software community, who take the four freedoms as a religion, to the point where they cannot see when these software freedoms can be a problem for people. For example, the CoopCycle project is developing a bike delivery platform, allowing its users to organize as a cooperative company, and their license disallow usage in other company settings. I strongly believe this is a good decision on their part, otherwise they would just be developing software that some people with a bit of technical knowledge could use to exploit others, just like companies as Uber do. But some free software zealots disagree with this choice because it is contrary to the freedom to use the software for whatever purpose. These people forget that what's important, the goal of the free software movement, is the freedom of people, and certainly not the freedom of software, which is only a mean, not the goal. Sometimes those people make me wonder if maybe we should just stop talking about free software and start talking about "emancipatory" software instead. But I really would prefer if we could just, as a community, grow and adapt to our society, to take into account the evolution of capitalism and what are the requirement for software to support freedom, to help us be free.
I don't think the world is as flat as you think.
Someone wrote something very shitty, and damaging about (it wasn’t 100% clear - i suspect on purpose) me or some of the people i worked with. It was categorically false for me to be included in these allegations (i believe the entire claim was untrue but i guess i only really know my truth), and i had no way to even ask the person to omit me or why they felt i should be bundled in. At one point this became such a stress i was having panic attacks. I had zero recourse. I hated the job but stayed longer just to prove me leaving wasn’t related to that review which became the topic of the company all hands when they hired an investigative lawyer to look into the allegations.

So yeah…Screw that person but also screw glassdoor for facilitating their narrative.
Every article I found suggested different versions of Python, like Anaconda. They all suggested different virtual environments too. Rarely was an explanation given. At the time, the mix of Python 2 vs Python 3 was a mess.

I attempted to get into it based on good things I’d heard online, but in the end it just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Oracle isn't a hardware company like Apple and Sun. And while RISC has had a renaissance there's no guarantee that would have applied to SPARC given that SPARC's licensing is very different to ARM (and RISC-V).

So I wouldn't say it was a bad management decision to kill SPARC -- putting aside my personal love for the architecture and Sun's technologies in general.

He was eventually hired by Redis-the-company, allowed them to use the trademark (originally they were Redis Labs which was a compromise with him), went to their conferences, trained their Redis developers (who contributed to Redis-the-open-source), etc.. I assume he was happy with the deal as he spoke positively about them and chose to spend a lot of time with them, and eventually retired after I presume getting a nice amount of money from the decade-long adventure.

I think state constitutional amendments or state ballot initiatives are the current best possible way to reform this. Of course not all states let citizens pass stuff without going through a gerrymandered state legislature.

And of course it's not just gerrymandering, but the electoral college and a host of other things that are just done badly.

These are all fixable problems, even if they are difficult. In fact both the electoral college and gerrymandering at the federal level would be improved if we just doubled or tripled the number of representatives in the House. The smaller the districts the harder it is to gerrymander effectively. Course to do that we probably need to get rid of the filibuster.

Even if you want to remain anonymous and don't deliberately reveal your identity you can almost always be identified anyway.

That's why services like HN aren't truly anonymous but pseudonymous.

The only way to be sure you're never identified on the internet is to never use it at all.

> For those working in tech/software development teams - do you also find that there's a lot of tension between developers and designers?

Quite the opposite: I typically tend to get along quite well with designers. Perhaps one reason is that I am myself a little bit on the "artistic" side of programming (e.g. with respect to elegance in code).

So, assume that in most cases the designer knows a lot more about what (visually) does look good and what does not and trust his judgement.

This, of course, assumes that you work with a designers whose artistic style is a good fit for an artistic style that you, as a programmer, appreciate for the project (e.g. should the GUI have a minimalistic, or skeuomorphic, or abstract, or realistic design?). I think that sometimes conflicts between designers and programmers are rather about having a very different opinion/vision on this topic.

What value does a designer bring to a project if he is not trusted in his design judgements and design drafts (at least in most cases)? He is intended to be the expert on this topic, and this is part of his role in the project. If such a trust does not exist, the designer simply cannot fill his role in the project.

Just to be clear: a quite similar statement holds in my opinion for choosing suitable programmers for your project(s) (even though I think that the very different programming styles that do exist are much more difficult to distinguish for non-programmers than visual styles are to distinguish for non-designers).

P.S. "Managers", on the other hand, are often a lot more difficult to handle for me than designers ... I can imagine that my "rather hands-off and trust" approach that works well when working with designers might violate some vanities of some managers. ;-)

Nope. EEs still earn relatively less here despite electrical and infrastructure projects in general not slowing down yet.

If they were saying how big your house is at only 1200sqft it's not because that's such a huge building we in the UK can't imagine such big houses, it was almost certainly a specific comment about your personal situation feeling that you didn't need that much space (or they were indeed assholes and being sarcastic, if it is one of the smallest in the town then maybe they did want to tease about that).

Not to say that UK properties aren't smaller on average as not only are we obviously a much smaller country but we also have a greater proportion living in higher population density areas, as less people here are happy to live outside towns/cities than in the US.

I do the same as you, check for lower ratings to be informed. I have found it helps if I talk to current/ex employees on linkedin. So far that has been transparent and helpful. The usual 5 stars are just generic "awesome team/great culture" which is useless.

I have left both 5 star and 1 star reviews. Unfortunately some of my 1 stars have been removed. I leave 5 stars when it's good (ignoring any usual corporate politics that might exist, these exist anywhere regardless). My 5 stars are usually descriptive enough to make it authentic and not like "good place to work, friendly ppl, awesome culture". I leave 1 star when things get really bad, like really unethical backstabbing sort of bad.

But then again I don't understand how companies are able to get them removed off of glassdoor. Like, my current company has done everything from removing reviews to having good publicity on glassdoor/linkedin/any social media but they have not tackled one single negative review head on to change their culture. Lol.
