Me to Julian, one of our senior devs the other day: “How do we attract another really top developer? It’s unlikely that many people will have heard of us and we really want to be able to compete with anyone for the best talent.”

Julian to me: “I’d actually love to be able to tell someone how much I enjoy working with the people on this project, the technology, and who we’re building it for - but you can’t really put that in an advert can you?”
(Julian - Berlin and Wellington NZ - 8 years at Evergiving)

There’s quite a few meaningful things you don’t usually put in a job advert that are really important.

So here’s a letter to you from each of our development team https://blog.evergiving.com/lead-front-end-developer-9e45698...
On the contrary, I only buy older used cars - the savings on a car with some warranty isn't near as much. I've always had good luck with merely taking a car I'm considering to a mechanic to get it checked out. One day the luck will run out, but whatever that will cost will come nowhere near the amount I've saved over the years.
I thought so. And then the prime minister of Finland got in trouble for dancing!
That's not the point you originally made. Moving the goalpost.

> Consistent with Payload's goal of making you learn as little of Payload as possible, customizing and using the Rich Text Editor does not involve learning how to develop for a Payload rich text editor. Instead, you can invest your time and effort into learning Slate, an open-source tool that will allow you to apply your learnings elsewhere as well.

I have to say, this callout from the JSON-based Rich Text Field docs [0] really resonated with me. Rather than build out something yourself that would further lock folks into your platform (and force them to customize yet another bespoke tool), you leaned on an existing, mature, and capable framework for rich text editors, Slate [1]. And your stated reason—to “allow you to apply your learnings elsewhere as well”—was really appreciated. It shows a lot of respect for time and resources of the individuals using Payload.

I don’t have a specific need for a headless CMS right this second, but I can promise that Payload will be my first candidate to review when I do. Previously, it would’ve been Strapi, as I’ve used that tool already for several projects. But that one paragraph really struck me.

> Market some relatively common item to an out-group of individuals at stupid markup based off brand recognition alone and reap the rewards.

Yes, but is that really so bad? I mean you can get cheaper T-Shirts with better quality than the ones at the merch stand at concerts. People don’t buy them because they are under some delusion that their great value for price. They buy them to support the creators, and to be able to show and talk about their support of the creator to others.
Right. For PRETENDING to grope a co-worker.
You will generally run into different types of latencies in this case since you have the general connection latency when those are getting established plus the regular physical/network latency between where the database is located and your own servers.

For connections, since a TLS handshake is required, the impact of physical distances can have a greater impact on the connection time. The following article: https://sking7.github.io/articles/44961356.html actually provides a good 3.5x-4x figure which correlates with some connection tests I've completed.

In other words, if an initial TCP packet takes ~100ms to get from the database to your server, then establishing a TLS connection to the database will probably be around 400ms.

Once the connection is established, running queries over an open connection is generally going to be quicker, at least for simpler queries. More complex queries will still take whatever time they need to process on the database end before they can start sending results back so results will generally vary there.

But going back to that 100ms example...if the amount of data being returned from a very simple query is minimal than the response time here would be very close to that 100ms figure over an already open connection and likely would go up from there depending on the complexity of the query and amount of data needing to be returned.

Since the connection hostnames are publicly accessible and TLS is always required for connections you can easily test from your own provider's location. So long as the general physical location isn't too far away from a supported region, the latency overall shouldn't be unusable.

I may have mangled some terminology/analogies above but hopefully that helps provide a bit of a ballpark for you. If you have specific to/from regions in mind I might be able to try and collect some specific numbers for you!
I have sub 5ms latency with my RME sound card, could probably go lower. What will hurt after a long while is the bandwidth at 192khz plus some other protocol on top (clock syncing, midi…). But we’re speaking of more than 64 channel in AND out.

So USB is pretty good, and for most sound card, USB2 is enough. Otherwise you can go Thunderbolt, which offer on par experience with PCIe.

What a consumer sound card offer now a day is better dac compare to the one of your motherboard or better output for headset.
> If a whistleblower makes disclosures to the SEC that result in a judgement if the SEC successfully sues the subject of that disclosure. This can be worth tens of millions of dollars.

I'm not sure what your point here is. That the lawsuit can be worth a lot of money doesn't take away from the fact that the SEC has to prove their case in court. How does the value of the settlement raise any question about the legitimacy of the judgement?
This is great! Expect the EPA and the FAA to finally ban 100LL, which will be a great boon for everyone.
Note, you will require an STC, but not poising yourself with lead will probably net out the costs in the long run.

* I am a pilot of piston engines, and I really don't like 100LL being the only option

This is good advice. I discovered by accident a really good technique. Just tell them you don't make any big decisions without sleeping on it. Then don't budge. Once they know they can't get you to sign that day, a lot of the tension goes out of the process. They have to switch gears and be respectful to entice you back tomorrow.
> One thing I don't like about Apple's approach to security is locking the user out, making the OS like a black box.

You can still turn off an awful lot of the security features in macOS. Some require a reboot, but still, the option's there for developers and power-users, if they prefer or require riskier operation.
Oh... I used dealerships for the test drives. I had a price from Carvana on each of the models I wanted to try and I went around and tried them. Once, I landed on make and model. I gave the sales guy a chance to beat the Carvana price he didn't.
> My current and previous companies will not let me install what I want on my laptop.

I've worked for companies all along that spectrum.

I've found that the locked-down companies tend to be heavily bureaucratic in other ways as well, and in general make my life as a developer less satisfying. I gravitate towards the more liberal companies.

Amyris | Senior Software Engineer | Full-Time | REMOTE | https://amyris.com/ | https://jobs.lever.co/amyris/5d05c4f2-b6ef-4cfe-89cb-6c866bb... | Senior Software Engineer
We are searching for a talented, curious, and self-motivated engineer to join our software engineering team in building the most advanced production-scale synthetic biology platform on the planet. R&D at Amyris is a highly multidisciplinary effort, where we need brilliant contributions from every area of the life sciences and engineering disciplines in order to take projects from concept to market.

From hacking directly on DNA in the lab to full scale factory production, every aspect of our work is facilitated and accelerated by software and hardware automation. Our tools integrate the activities of scientists, engineers, and industrial robots to enable the rapid optimization of genetic designs and laboratory processes.

Among the tools we have developed are a CAD/CAM system for genetic engineering: a compiler toolchain whose target architecture is life itself. This stack physically integrates high level genetic modules into microbial hosts. We also derive novel strains through random mutagenesis and directed evolution. Using our custom control platform, we then subject these experimental organisms to high throughput performance screening in our state-of-the-art robot labs.

Responsibilities: Design, develop and maintain web based application written in Python. Collaborate with scientists to transform an understanding of their workflow into designs and implementations of appropriate data models and user interfaces. Effectively communicate with research scientists. Apply best practices of software development throughout your work, while staying abreast of advances in the practice.

Qualifications: 8+ years of professional programming experience Strong coding skills in either Python or a similar language. Ideally deep experience in multiple languages. In addition to Python, Amyris has codebases in F#, R and PHP (phasing out, but still have some important legacy code). Experience with full-stack web application development, including coding skills in Javascript, CSS and HTML. Relational database design and coding experience. We use PostgreSQL and SQL Server, though we also treat plasmids and chromosomes as datastores. Experience developing software in a Unix environment. Dev tools are chosen at the developer’s discretion, but most of the software development and all production deployment is on Linux (Ubuntu). Fluent Linux command-line skills. Interest and ability to communicate with scientists Excellent written and verbal communication skills

At Amyris, we believe that diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) is essential to our core values. We embrace and encourage an equity-minded work culture, knowing that it is the driving force of innovation that positively impacts our employees, consumers, and communities. And for Amyris, a sense of belonging is what drives our mission forward and is the foundation of everything we do, ensuring a healthier, more sustainable future for us all. Make Good, No Compromise.
I don’t see this case as a reason. It seems the system worked as intended here. Defendant made very specific claims in their review “charged for goods not ordered”, it went to the judge and the defendant could not prove what they said was true.

Just be careful that when writing a review you don’t lie or embellish the facts. As well as making it clear when you are just stating an opinion. “the goods I received were not of the quality I expected” (opinion based) vs “the vendor intentionally gave me bad quality goods” (speculative and not easy to prove).
Inequality itself is a strong sign of collapse. Near collapse you always see local maxima, a sort of unbalance. In this case a minority keeps using their gains to attain gains faster by cannibalizing the system. Normally such gains would be reinvested into the system, what is good for you is good for the entire community, but these days it's all a big zero-sum game. If a few people win, millions lose. It does not trickle down as they say.

if you are able, add your project folder as an exclusion, and maybe msbuild.exe or maybe cl etc. cant hurt

tho i have to say ive never had defender (or any io hits) cause audio to stutter outside of impending bluescreen from garbage device driver tier crashes
In general I agree, although the scale of software would mean there has to be some pretty significant flex in this sort of thing. The Twitter/Facebook/etc. of the world can afford having civil liability hang over their heads. But we don't want to live in a world where this kind of thing destroys the incredible software innovation our field has today, mostly from startups and small companies that eventually grow to the size of a Twitter.

I feel similarly about the Section 230 issue - past a certain size, orgs are large enough to actually be able to be held to account on matters of speech on the platform - but defining that line is challenging and potentially very destructive.
> I've heard worse stories from bigger, more important places than Twitter

I think everyone with experience has, which makes me wonder who the target audience is here.
AC97 (1997) was the first blow - this was Intel's improvement on the defacto SB16 interface (and not compatible with it) and was around the time audio started being integrated into motherboards.

This is also around the time it started to be common for pre-built systems to integrate functionality into the motherboard, such as VGA, audio, USB, and in some cases even AGP video all as part of a chipset.

The peak of PC audio probably matches the peak of the "HTPC" wave that happened in the first half of the 2000's - PCs designed to be put under your TV and replace your stereo.

But also, laptops started getting cheaper and more popular as the late 90's turned into the 2000's and beyond - where integration of components was even more valued. Then smartphones started to take over in the 2010's.

The culture is different now. These days, the young people don't have stereos anymore, they might have at best have a TV soundbar or some really good wireless speakers, or a couple of bluetooth speakers, and the phone is the centerpiece of the personal audio experience now.

Hi-Fi that's not dedicated to making your car rattle or be \blasted at 500w-per-channel volume over a bar/club PA speaker is dead.

Desktop PCs are for businesses which need only good enough audio for business purposes, and gamers who probably want to spend money on a GPU over audio.
There is a big difference between privacy and security.
>at the same time, youtube is really bad at exposing you to new channels that you would enjoy. they bombard you with similar videos ("here's 15 more toilet seat review videos for you!") but they're not able to extrapolate channel tastes for some reason. it's left largely up to the user to dig around for collaterally-themed channels.

This is exactly why I am working on a team to create alternative YouTube recommendations. Our algorithm is designed to surface smaller more obscure but relevant channels.

Search a channel to get a list of channels making similar content. Our recommendations for Project Farm include other tool review channels like A Concord Carpenter / Toolboxbuzz and Thrifty Tool Shed. Click through to A Concord Carpenter's list of similar channels also reveals Tools & Stuff. Thrifty Tool Shed is a great example of a very small yet relevant channel that the algorithm surfaces (~15k subscribers).

Our list of channels similar to Project Farm:

https://channelgalaxy.com/id%3DUC2rzsm1Qi6N1X-wuOg_p0Ng/

Of course there are dozens more channels on PF's list that are about more general carpentry, metalsmithing, and home-engineering projects. And you can use the search bar at the top of the page to search any other channels you watch to get their similar channels lists.
Interpolation here meaning one smooth motion transition is all that is depicted. An entire episode of television requires things like cuts between scenes, possibly discontinuities like flashbacks, scenes that take place days, months, or even decades later, and characters should still look the same, but might be wearing different clothing, or grow a beard, or get really old but still have similar facial features and the same skin color. If one ages, they should all age about the same, unless it's a story with time travel or humanoid immortal characters that don't age.

I'm sure these types of capabilities will come at some point, but no current model can do it. It requires more than just projecting motion into a scene.
>it should let you look at edit history though, because there are certainly interesting (and potentially terrible) implications to letting people edit stuff after the fact.

It won't though, I think we all know that. The only way it can work is if editing is restricted to within a few minutes of the tweet being posted.

I can already imagine the drama and awkward situations that will inevitably arise from things like editing tweets in response to replies.
No. That would be absurd in my opinion.
I sit reading this in a village in central Portugal, and I have a very different perspective than the OP.

What I see are vast numbers of uninhabited, decaying or wholly uninhabitable structures. I see 50+ age men loitering around the town, drinking beer at 10am, and playing scratch-offs.

On the roads I see absolutely bonkers drivers who have old cars which obviously have binary gas pedals. They go super slow for no reason, but at some point they flip the switch and drive like maniacs, blind curves be damned. These cars, by the way, are 80s and 90s soot-spewing diesels.

They start fires more often than mother nature does. Sometimes it's because they are crazy, but usually it's because they want to clear a natural forest so they can grow fast timber like eucalyptus (which greatly exacerbates the fire risk since they are so grow fast and are highly flammable).

VAT here is 23%. This thing about foreigners not paying tax is bs. Locals widely use a tax scheme whereby they can make tax claims on their purchases, getting some of it back. Without that tax number, you pay the full 23%.

And if you want to use a visa to live and work here, you will pay an incredible tax rate that's even higher than Netherlands (which is already 20-50% higher than the US).

Many of the "rich" foreigners coming in and buying property are Brazilians, some of whom got their riches through corruption or outright criminal activities.

There is also still good old fashioned corruption here. The laws regarding many topics such as land habitation permits vary by jurisdiction, and the common way to deal with them is to get cozy with the mayor or other important figures. Take them to dinner, buy them some gifts, play nice. You can be completely legal, but if you don't play the game right you can be denied a permit.

This is all pretty bad news, but that's not to say that Portugal is bad or Portuguese are bad. There's a lot to like here. There's a lot of charm, a lot of history, some great beaches and villages and mountainous areas. The climate can be nice, but imo it's not great and rapidly getting worse (many days this summer over 40C, and so, so many fires).

My takeaway is, to put it very bluntly, that the average Portuguese person is quite ignorant. They either don't know a lot of important things, or they know a bit but don't care (because they don't know why it's important). It feels like time stopped here in the mid 1900s.

Porgugal was once the king of the world. Then it had a several hundred year decline, reaching bottom in the latter 1900s. The younger generation learned it was better to move elsewhere to earn money, so progress ceased locally. But 10 years or so ago, the younger people who are now middle age began coming back, starting businesses, and revitalizing the country. It's going to take a few more decades before Portugal reaches the point where it is not a poor shadow of its former self. I'm not sure it will ever make it though.
Exactly. Another important question is-- how often will this change? These kinds of regulations can also provide a 'moat' for larger companies by keeping smaller companies out, leading to monopolization.
