Oh interesting! I didn't know that bit of history.

From the engineering side, the software was beyond horrid. Different versions of their software would re-use the same column in a database for different things! They'd do things like if id>=5000 { do something else } in their code. I always wanted to rewrite it and produce something that was actually sane.

But, being in the p0rn industry, it made it super difficult to hire talented engineers because people were afraid to talk about where they worked (or just had issues p0rn) and I myself left without ever having the chance to do so. Funny enough, I see a similar hiring issue with crypto today.

Unless you have a company-wide monorepo, you'll end up needing to vendor the same dependencies on separate occasions in multiple projects. If you use vendoring as an opportunity to review code of dependencies you're adding, you end up with multiple PRs that include the same code you've already reviewed.

In some cases you may remember you've already reviewed code of a certain dependency and can skip it next time, but human memory is imprecise (have you reviewed this exact version or an older one?), and harder to share between team members to avoid duplicate effort across the team (if someone else gets a vendoring PR, how will they know what you've already reviewed before?)

Tendency to "LGTM" grows with code size. If you get a massive PR that vendors fifty deps at once, it will be an intimidating wall of code, under pressure to quickly accept the PR to unblock development. A tool that shares and "recycles" prior reviews may reduce amount of code you review. It lets you review one package at a time, and split that work among team members. Depending on your threat model you may also review deps asynchronously, not blocking PRs.

It would be interesting to know what type of jobs were you looking for if you're willing to share? Without context we can't really tell whether you found a good gig impressively quickly or settled for below the market rate to start something sooner.

I know experienced contractors who've been looking for software development gigs around that level for much of this summer. Some crazy proportion of the roles being pitched by recruiters or advertised on the boards seem to end up just being imaginary. Even for the ones that are real it sounds like multi-week delays for each step in the process have been common because everyone's been going off on big holidays again this year. So much time wasted even for good people who normally have no trouble finding work.

I could probably write a book with all the excuses from recruiters I've heard about too. Possibly the most creative so far was some new government initiative that was due to run out of the Cabinet Office where apparently no-one actually knows which IT projects are still going ahead after the change in government.
> That's your assertion, but what is your reasoning? This is an honest question, because it's not at all clear to me why it should be considered theft.

it's theft to me because you're taking things - the product of effort, labor, electricity, etc - without any payment when requested, in this case, ads. same reason I think sneaking into a theater or amusement park without paying is also theft.

> I disagree that it's fraud, too. I'm not deceiving anybody. And the "personal gain" aspect seems strained to me. "Personal gain" typically means "material gain" -- that is, being materially enriched.

are you not materially enriched if you get access to sites without paying? if you don't gain anything, then there would be no reason to do it. the preference is the indication that something has been gained.

obviously you can believe whatever you want, but there's really nothing different about avoiding ads and cracking software, aka piracy. and if you're OK with that, fundamentally there's really nothing special about digital goods, including money whose existence for many exists primarily virtually.

there are people who think theft is OK, all land is stolen, etc. that's fine, I guess, I just have a different opinion.

Yup, at a previous company I managed the IT department and reported to the CFO. In a 1:1 meeting he said "I want employees I can yell at and not be worried that they'll quit". He was referring to accounting staff when he said it, but it was the final straw that got me looking for other opportunities. I gave notice a few weeks later.
MIMO antennas aren't transmitting in your direction unless you get their attention by transmitting in theirs. Also, they might be transmitting by default with barely-enough power, in a narrow band, in frequencies everyone generally agrees to not use for anything important; but once you establish a circuit with them, they could start transmitting in your particular direction with more power, in wider bandwidth, or in more-likely-to-be-reserved frequencies.
I've used the mag stripe tons of times over the last couple of years. Most of the time it's when I get "CHIP MALFUNCTION" errors at a card reader, or sometimes they just tell me to swipe for no good reason. I wouldn't kill the stripe unless you've got a backup with you, at least for a while.
I do honestly prefer using vim over emacs for a bunch of reasons, but I wish it was configured with lisp instead. Emacs seems like a fun playground.
> Apple did an amazing job already of hardening iOS by severely restricting which applications can use JIT (and this is their justification for why non-Safari browser engines are not allowed on iOS)

I think it's probably inaccurate to conflate these two things: the JIT was not even allowed in third party browsers when using Safari for a long time, and they still didn't allow other browser engines. If this was the only reason, surely other browser engines without JIT would be fine?
> but as a digital simulation from 1x and thereby only at 12MP, and so it isn't fundamentally different than my existing phone

My understanding is that it's even worse than that, as the 48MP sensor isn't a regular sensor but a Quad Bayer sensor. While there are some benefits over a 12MP sensor, based on what I've read it seems that the image quality is more comparable to a 12MP sensor than to a 48MP sensor. So cropping to 2x would match a 3MP sensor.

That's currently the main reason why I'm planing to keep my 12 Pro a little bit longer. A 2x lens seems more useful than 3x to me and if the assumption above is correct the 2x quality on the 12 Pro should be better than on the 14 Pro. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a lot of discussions regarding this topic, but there's a YouTube video that comes to a similar conclusion: https://youtu.be/u9sJb_E6h5E?t=588.
This is generally my attitude towards OS software updates, previously a topic I’d follow closely. I get where you’re coming from!

My interest in hardware revisions has only grown in recent years, particularly in mobile devices. I’m not gonna go rush off and buy a new iPhone, I’m quite pleased with my 13 Pro Max and upgrading now would feel horribly wasteful. But I’m continually awed by advancements in mobile camera technology, and whenever I do upgrade it feels as much like magic as when I got my first newer game console (NES -> SNES) as a kid. But to be clear, my interest here is almost completely in the camera, and I pretty much view my phone as a really nice camera with convenient computing and network affordances included for some almost inexplicable reason.

To a lesser extent, recent advances in chips has also had me pining to upgrade a perfectly good laptop which again would feel wasteful to do now, but I expect when the time comes it’ll feel similarly revelatory even if that’s more incremental just because I’ve been upgrading the same sorts of things for much longer.

It’s okay, probably even good, that you don’t feel the same way about the device upgrade treadmill. A slower upgrade cycle would be objectively good for a lot of more important things. I’m not going to try to convince you a new iPhone is something you should want even for “free”. Just offering personal perspective why I find the new one exciting even if I’ll skip it.

If you go anywhere where they hold a tab open, such as a bar, you can't do that with tap/chip. Not that that's a blocker, since worst case you do a bunch of single transactions, but it's an annoyance.
1) That makes sense because the $600 threshold has never existed before. The first time this will ever be reported at this threshold is this year. According to Secretary Yellen the threshold was lowered to $600 because people earning that much are high-income billionares that need held accountable.

2) In non-business "mode" it's still not your choice if the sender tags it as 'goods or service.'

3) Customers and Workers may be wary to potentially violate ToS by defrauding Venmo and/or the IRS by falsely tagging a transaction that there is an easily electronically auditable record of. Venmo ToS explains your account may be terminated and funds 'held' if you do this, and tons of random people sending you money on a regular schedule is easily identifiable as not 'friends and family.' This is far easier to trace than someone spending putting $200 in singles in a drawer at the end of the night and spending $20 x 10 at the grocery store.

4) Your 'pass-through' rent situation is far less falsely identifiable as goods and services income. 2000x people sending $5 over a year is far more identifiable to a computer than the exact same few people sending you $1k a month or whatever. A very large number (high hundreds to thousands) of nodes sending small amounts over the course of the year easily 'sniffs out' someone providing goods/services and can be bet on to be found out by Venmo compliance sooner or later.

ever expanding spending for a site that, while big, probably has the same traffic patterns (for mostly static content while at that) year by year, and with no visible software improvements in the past few years (so they are not spending a fortune in developers) leads me to think that it’s just political money being channeled through them.

I've actually been using BeatMatch (https://www.beatmatch.app/) recently. I've used it to meet people, but you also get to see and listen to their favorite selections, which are frequently newer or more unique finds. You can browse profiles, discover what people you're interested in are listening to and vice-versa, strike up conversation, and maybe make a connection. It also lets you know about concerts and events going on in your area.

Is the microphone embedded? If not:

Should be qualified by
"since the mic is on the receiver, if you were to situate your head at the receiver's mic position and accounting for the mic's ADC circuit there is a chance that your human ears would hear something like a flat response."

But of course that can't be generalized across the room, different points in the room will have different acoustic response because of the unique positioning wrt other reflective surfaces.

The closest you can actually get is to use something like miniDSP and a umik, position the umik where you would usually sit, and then let the DSP run and calibrate.

Anyhow--I'm not knocking you. I'm all about better audio through such tricks as well. It's just we can't probably say absolute things having a flat response, because at the end of the day people hear different things (both physiologically but also psychologically). One of the things I do for fun sometimes is run a flat signal that sweeps through the frequency range and edit the equalizer until I _perceive it_ to be a flat response, then compare the EQ to the FR chart on audiosciencereview if they have reviewed it or if the product has included it in their marketing :)
>If you turn on your electric stove at 3pm, when the grid is stressed from the afternoon sun, your electricity is almost certainly coming from a peaker plant (unless you're in California, at which point the peaker-plants are coming on at 6pm or so).

For California, you can check the actual generation mix:

Hydro | 1529 | 1178
Imports | 6216 | 778
Batteries | -23 | 183
Nuclear | 2241 | 2240

...so at 3PM ~31% of your electricity was produced by natural gas, and at 2AM ~40% of your power was produced by natural gas.
Because they are not paying for the power, you are! The more computation they can migrate from their data center to your browser, the better.

That’s an odd takeaway from the article. You can trivially switch between 12MP and 48MP. Why not just… switch to 48MP when you want the extra resolution, and otherwise stick to 12MP. Perhaps switch to 48MP when you would otherwise use your DSLR…?

The Last Song I'll Ever Write on Proof of Work
Most social media sites lack self-moderation, which leads to problems like this that aren't curable in the long term. Sure, Twitter shouldn't allow checkmarks to change names, but there will still be bots. Facebook of all things is really the cleanest, since your "friends" on there tend to at least be acquaintances IRL and most of what you see just comes from them, but it's gotten corrupted a bit over the years.

I've been developing a site a bit like Twitter except for sharing links only. If it had millions of users (which would take a miracle), it wouldn't have these problems. There are no top accounts, trending topics, follower counts, algorithmic recommendations, etc. Instead, you just follow whoever you know personally or seriously care about, and if you like something, you repost it since there's no plain "like." So you can get links from many hops away, but it has to go through a friend. This establishes a self-moderated network similar to how people in real life behave. In closed beta, I've discovered a lot of interesting content (mostly news) that I otherwise wouldn't have, but the project has ways to go.
Ooh this is something Ive been pondering too. Perhaps a transformer model like GPT but focused primarily on language semantics and such. Especially the point about cognitive load - which I find to be quite undersaid
Some of them created that, a whole lot more just did regular jobs and voted for things like neighborhood preservation or fixing property taxes when a property is exchanged.

One reason I am in this position to begin with is that Bay Area municipalities approved huge office projects without increasing housing in tandem. Those policies were explicitly to attract people like me - high income office workers who would generate payroll and sales taxes while stimulating the local economy as I buy goods and services, without a large net increase in public expenditures since the static housing supply also keeps the population relatively static.

I have no reservations in calling that out as a mistake. I understand the rationale behind those decisions and if I hadn’t seen what it led to now, I may have supported them. I can understand why people who aren’t affected because they are longtime homeowners, or who were affected and bought in at high prices, really don’t want to rock the boat.

But those policies are reaching their breaking point and materially affecting people’s lives negatively. Because of high housing prices many people are living in smaller/older units, crammed in with more people than they’d prefer, or living very far away from their job. Besides high housing prices this has plenty of other negative effects like bad traffic, social spending on people with what would be middle incomes in the rest of the country, and definitely a contributor to homelessness (something like half of which have jobs and live in unstable environments like their cars - not talking about the addicts at 7th and Market).

It’s systemic - you can rationalize the pain by saying any individual could move away if they don’t like it, but that doesn’t change the imbalance in jobs relative to housing.

Also, I can easily pay for as much housing as I want. But I’d like to stay here and have room for children, not deal with high priced everywhere because rent is too high and it’s too hard to find low skill workers, and not see my neighbors suffer. If you don’t like my presence in this area why don’t you move?
