The biggest lie I ever got told at work was "all teams have equal opportunity for impact". They don't, and team+org is about 80% of your potential performance.

At the time my org had a "mission & building" group and a "maintenance & operations" group. I was placed in the maintenance group.

Every single project in the maintenance group went the same: good idea, planning & initial prototype, gets noticed by management, you get permanently blocked or management pilfers your star players and you start again or scope down. All our projects were tiny or failures. Meanwhile the people in the mission group got showered with raises and promotions.

It was soul crushing, I had never been so unhappy. I had no (opportunity for) impact on the business, so my reviews were always that I was technically strong but didn't demonstrate impact. You can get stuck in a real feedback loop there, you get burned out at constant failure.

I'm sure we all looked lazy from above, I certainly felt lazy, but the org structure simply quashed any attempts at progress and we were all powerless against it.

I ended up leaving that role, it gave me a strong focus on impact only roles which was the best career move I ever made.
At the same time Apple and Google have lists of hard requirements for applications that can be extended to include these - especially if part of this change over is presenting unified shared objects for apps to use to launch browsers.
GFC! Australian?

Australians are the only people I've heard referring to the 2008 crash as the "Global Financial Crisis".
Right now the model people use in the closed beta is really permissive, it can create NSFW, famous people, gorish images, etc. I don't think (I hope) that the model will change much. They will probably release all the weights from the different training phases.
What they really should ban and make a crime is intentional and proven disinformation.

Did any of those companies win FCC rural development grants?
Yes, I know that the project hasn't got a bright future unfortunately. What I was more interested in was its current stability and correctness. I wouldn't mind using it if it was relatively stable and free of bugs.

> You stated we removed their profit by sanctioning Tornado Cash. For one I don't think you have evidence sanctioning Tornado Cash eliminates profits of North Korea

The profit from the crypto that they stole or received as ransom payment. I thought that was very clearly implied.

> I paid with LTC where my transaction costs a penny, plus or minus a penny

That addresses one of the two problems with paying with BTC, remaining worse than tradfi payments.

> That's nice that credit card premiums include fraud protection, but I'm not interested in paying for that with this vendor. It is one I very much trust,

That's nice that you trust the vendor, but fraud costs are about whether vendor trusts you. If you pay them in stolen goods, those will be seized, and the vendor will be out bullion plus transaction costs.
My Gates belt probably has >10k miles on it and is also silent. Coupled with a Rohloff, it is an essentially maintenance free drivetrain, save for changing the hub oil once per year.
My wife struggles with the social expectations on womens dress.

She’s a geeky engineer at heart just like you and me.

It’s cost her promotions.

That's one take, but if you hang around on Blind (which is an anonymous forum heavily populated by FAANG), you will find many who gloat about how little they work.

As someone pointed out already, Twitter does a good job with this. Reddit does a fine enough job, too.

However, tiktok doesn't allow users to break out of their in-app browser. This is especially frustrating when you wish to follow an artist on Spotify WITHOUT signing into Spotify in the tiktok app.
Fucked up 503s, Batman!
You mean "foot" instead of "feet" here surely?
Indeed. The problem is that all of us who already know "degrowth" is bad are going to have to suffer through the result along with them.
I’ve tried to search for supported Samsung devices, especially the S20 FE, and it’s a nightmare to find anything relevant using Google. Google Search ignores /e/, making it all but impossible to find anything about the /e/ project.

I can relate to the OP, /e/ is nit a very handy name for Google searches. It’s like it doesn’t exist. What’s the point of a name you can’t Google, or pronounce?

In case someone might have the same question: the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is not supported. In fact all recent Samsung devices are not supported. Support for new Samsung smartphones seems to have halted, most recent model in the S-family is the S10, released more than 3 years ago.

Does anyone know why recent Samsung devices are unsupported? After all, Samsung is one of the biggest smartphone makers. It seems odd to ignore such large user base.
That's a great perspective, thanks for sharing that. What would you like to see as the best interview questions then? I'll probably adapt my future interviews based on your ideas (not that I ask any real algorithm questions anyway).
Buy early in the product cycle and decide before it’s clearanced out.
I don't see what the infinite sequence of contingency buys you. Seems you might as well say there is fundamentally no reason why anything is (though I think that's untenable).
When I used to work in mobile advertising, advertisers and tech vendors were always so desperate for this, because it would let them track users across apps and not just websites, so I’m not super sold on enabling it by default.

> Seem familiar? This is framing, merely in app form. But this time, the framed website has no way to framebust.

Click the safari button. It opens it in your normal browser. Better behaved apps (shout out to Apollo) will let you set a config that sends off links to safari directly.
The only apps I know of that don’t have this button are Facebook messenger and TikTok, to nobodies surprise, 2 reasonably badly behaved apps. I think Instagram still does as well, but that’s not a surprise.
You can still escape the app context via the sharing menu though, although that is somewhat more involved.
I've used Direct2D and DirectWrite to render vector graphic and text (basically various HUD displays) in one of my products ( game like application) and was overall happy with the quality / performance.
How did I arrive at it?

Well you quoted a bit about boycotts that included a question about alternatives. This type of quoting is often a technique to declare "the text after this before the next quote is a response". So when you then responded with a point about wanting them to make arguments instead, and emphasized it with "not ... violence", you sure seem to have equivocated them. If that wasn't your intent, my bad and I have no idea what you were intending to say.

The second conclusion assumes you made the violence point of course and is basically substitution:

boycotts = violence = not spending money

People are generally entitled to not have violence directed at them.

(becomes)

People are generally entitled to not have not spending money directed at them.

(can simplify as)

People are generally entitled a revenue stream.
I did vector graphics using SDFs in this library (https://github.com/audulus/vger). Works pretty well for my uses which are rendering dynamic UIs, not rendering SVGs. But I can still do some pretty gnarly path fills!
Perhaps the reason Starlink is being held to this scrutiny is because of those previous attempts being failures and to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

The solution to “the old people weren’t being vetted enough” is not “the new players should also not be vetted enough.”
"Economic activity" is a basic concept in Economics.

An online dictionary defines it as "the activity of producing, buying, or selling products or services".

That's about the time I'd expect for a new hire to ramp up on the codebase and submit a PR behind a feature flag and probably experiment that makes it to production. It takes a day to even set up the environment and be able to start looking at and running the code locally. Four days to read through a brand new codebase, identify the changes that are necessary, write a small tech spec (optional based on how small the change is), submit the PRs, get them reviewed and approved, and then merged sounds reasonable to someone who's never worked in the codebase before.
You just have to use this to push your ideology that leetcode style of interviews don't work, don't you.

Seems like you're thinking of precomputed SDFs that are stored in a texture. They don't have to be :) (for example, my little library: https://github.com/audulus/vger)
Many autistic people prefer to say they are autistic. Hopefully it's become clear that I think this way, and I can't just not think this way. Thinking is my main way of interacting with the world, it's not just "a trait".
Doesn't work in the face of real-time dynamic transforms; 3-d, smooth zoom, etc. Atlases are also a bit heavy, so now you need a cache replacement policy, and you have annoying worst-case performance...
Well, there's not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol is sure doing its job.
"Metaphysical realism is the thesis that the objects, properties and relations the world contains, collectively: the structure of the world [Sider 2011], exists independently of our thoughts about it or our perceptions of it."

This is _necessarily_ true, to believe otherwise is to make an absurdist claim that humans are somehow special. It's "the earth is the center of the universe" all over again.

Of course, you could always take the truly absurd way out, and claim that _you_ are what is special, and everything else is mere simulacrum for you by you. By all means, admit to this.
I think it does exactly that, which is supposes a one-time exception to get out of infinite regress. But, I mean, if God exists, that's how it is. So the story doesn't seem incoherent. As for asking why is God necessary, I think that is a misplaced question. God's necessity wouldn't derive from something else, because then it wouldn't be necessity (just another derived contingency). The starting point is that something necessary has to be the basis of the rest of the stuff, that's it.
Thanks for your work! Reading the article, seems like the main debate is on whether this should be included in pip. Fwiw, as a user experience, including it seems best. I think the experience npm (tries to) provide is a fine goal. However, whether it's a priority for pip and burdening maintainers is another matter.

In any case, I'm more concerned with not repeating npm audit's mistakes. Abramov's blog post linked in the article [1] popped to my mind right away.

Can you say any more about how pip-audit won't "cry wolf"? Especially since Python doesn't have great packaging standardization around tools, dev-dependencies, build dependencies, pip-tools vs pipenv vs poetry, etc.

> Unless most of the population takes these exams you have only identified generally, it’s not going to reflect the average person

Is the sample size of "all final-year high-schoolers in a country" big enough for you?

> So the evidence you claim exists would not even be capable of supporting your argument.

What makes you think that?

Also - I will not be playing defence here: the burden of proof is on the side that put forward the hypothesis, for which no evidence has been cited thus far. So much for wanting to have a "good faith" discussion
I blame managers.

In my (middling-long) career I have noticed the following cycles:

Company grows and takes on new projects. Workers start getting stretched thin.

Work starts to suffer as people are thrashing, there's no more concrete focus.

Company responds by hiring (or making) more managers.

Each manager now thinks they have to justify their existence by inserting themselves into every possible process, gatekeeping, etc.

Decisions start to be made by committee, as nobody wants to stick their neck out.

Now decision-making suffers; productivity declines even more.

Company responds by shuttering entire divisions, firing employees, etc.
Facebook has regular, systematic performance reviews and a PIP process like most large companies. Nobody is talking about firing people for temporary performance lapses.
Sure but physics wasn’t “this thing in your country is cool, I’m taking it home with me”

There is a clear difference there.

You should verify the original commenters statements hold true in your target environment(s). Office has started heavily relying on WebView2, any enterprise using Office should have WebView2 updating working properly. Ditto for Windows 11.

Not sure what time period the original commenter is referring to, this story has developed quite a bit over the past year, even into last month - https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2022/06/27/delivering-th...

What about the law of conservation of matter? When have you seen anything cease to exist, and not merely transform?

Isn't the question about the universe existing really asking where energy/matter came from? How the energy and matter are configured is a different question entirely, it seems.

I find most of the wear e.g. collar wear also comes from the drier. Line drying seems to keep shirts in good condition much longer.
In school I was embarrassed about the clothes I wore... also the calculator I had and my shoes and my lunch and my trapper keeper and my pencils...

Kids being embarrassed at school is unavoidable, being embarrassed is practically the job description of a teenager and younger students often have their own insecurities. There's an interesting debate as to whether these embarrassments are good or bad for us in the long run but we can side step all of that... not having access to a smartphone is important - it's important enough to warrant the slight amount of embarrassment.
Starlink gets 40-150ms, more often erring on the faster side. If they can get their peak load under control, I don't think I'd ever pine for hardwired internet again.
Microsoft Excel world championship is as brilliantly entertaining as it sounds
I’ve held a job ever since I was 12 years old. And I worked before that under the table to pay for my things as a child. I’ve worked at many multinationals now that I’m middle aged. Yes, I’m American. And my view on this is completely contrary to conventional wisdom. Private enterprise is not only less efficient than government, it’s destructive.

Private enterprise doesn’t care about doing a good job or delivering quality product. It only cares about making money. It’s a perverse incentive that drives everything down to the bottom almost every time. The only way to circumvent that perverse incentive system is to have someone in charge that cares about something other than profits. And there just are not enough Steve Jobs or similar characters out there that cared about quality and legacy enough to make blind participation as a buyer in your favor.

Of course someone will say, that’s how you make money is by delivering quality. But that’s not true. You deliver money by monopolizing, putting in barriers to entry, or simply by cutting costs. By definition, if something you buy was cheaper to produce than the price you paid, you’re getting a bad deal. People just don’t see this because they have no other choice.

Now all that said, I also believe that it is the worst system, except for all the others. I think with sensible regulation to counterbalance abuse, the system is as good of one as I’ve seen.
I think “turning up the heat” is just going to add pressure on the ones already doing most of the work. And some of those people will leave. The ones not doing anything aren’t going to suddenly start caring and aren’t probably all that motivated to find something else.

This is a faliure of some management to not motivate/correct employees who are not meeting expectations.
Support for Applied Intelligence: Incident Workflows
All of this can be reason to reject an app during submission review. Google and Apple could update their guidelines and start enforcing them.

I mean if I would Apple I would go even stricter. In Info.plist you declare list of domains which can be accessed with webview and reason why. Just like you declare reason why you should have access to photos or a camera. Everything other would straight open in browser.

Also there is a solution to make component which acts as a webview, but in fact is blackboxed main browser which app has no access to, just like PHPicker photos select in ios 15
On some derailleurs, you can remove a pulley to get the chain off as a closed loop. Still a pain, but in my case would save a $5 master link that isn’t supposed to be reused at all (sram 12 speed).
I really don’t see what the big deal is? Generally the only time you should be returning or passing around a unique_ptr is when you’re actually transferring ownership of the referenced object. Otherwise just dereference it and pass around a reference to the underlying object.
My understanding is that detachable collars are that way to allow for starching (which is quite uncommon these days), as well as certain styles which are otherwise difficult to create. Many people wear shirts that have differently-colored collars for stylistic reasons, men's dress shirts like this are called 'banker's shirts', so I don't think this is socially taboo.
As long as you're in town, the density of stop signs/lights is relatively constant, whether you're going 0.3 miles or 3 miles, so your hoped for "less efficient driving" is a fantasy you cooked up to try to save your argument.

The difference between city and highway mileage isn't enough to save your argument either.

You tried to argue that someone can save a significant amount of their gas usage by using bikes for short trips. That's wrong because those trips are a small fraction of their gas use.

It's wrong no matter even if their car uses 1Bgallons per mile. (Ratios and percentages are like that.)
I think the issue with slug is that it requires a fair amount of pre-computation. So it's great for its use case: rendering glyphs, especially on surfaces in games.

I do something a bit like slug, but I'm sure slower, since slug is very optimized. (https://github.com/audulus/vger)

My take is the following:

I don't think that "existence" is an actual property of $whatever, an actual property in the sense that it could be either way (either exists or not) without logical contradiction. Because if that were the case, both a reality where $whatever exists or where it does not exist would be conceivable, or in other words, whether $whatever exists or does not exists would be arbitrary, without explanation of why it is one way and not the other. Because, if there would be an explanation why it is one way and not the other, then effectively it would be a necessary consequence and not a freely choosable property. So, if on the other hand it is arbitrary, then that means that effectively there cannot be an explanation. Another way to put this is that anything "existing" must either mean it is an (necessarily arbitrarry, in the sense of freely chosen) axiom, or that is a mere implication.

Now comes the subjective part: Necessarily arbitrary axioms are highly unattractive, because they cannot ever be explained, by definition. If we accept such a thing, then implicitly everything is arbitrary (within the realm of what is logically consistent) due to the arbitraryness of the axioms from which everything derives, and thus there cannot be an explanation of the specific "existing" reality. Therefore, by Occam's razor, it makes much more sense to me to not assume that reality is based on such inherent arbitraryness, and rather assume (which is really the absence of an assumption) that everything that is logically consistent "exists". However, labelling it as "existing" is meaningless, because in that view that is just a synonym for "logically consistent". So, that's why I don't think that "existing" is a property different from "logically consistent".

Based on previous experience at a SV "unicorn", more often than not, a ton of work was not done. The "specs" were vague and poorly written. "Lacks attention to detail" is how I would describe most PMs at that place. I think they had a 1:1 ratio of PMs to engineers.

Well, I guess Irwindale finally got what it wanted [0], and it only took climate change and supply chain shortages to get it. This is just another demarcation of where we are in terms of climate change, given the most recent thread on the matter I fear that while many are aware very few will actually do much to change their consumption habits until something like this takes place and supplies just run out.

It was mentioned that Humans never learn from foresight, but mainly learn from reactionary consequences. I fear that for those of us who spent so much time and effort in order to avert this situation that we may find ourselves in this situation regardless.

For those of us from SoCal it will be odd to pass by and not get a whiff this place from the freeway for a while, but it's also a stark reminder of how things change.
