> My personal viewpoint on this is that - depending on the range of offences committed - there's some professions / occupations that should get closed off for a good while.

I agree, but I also think this is also a judgment call (e.g. how long is a "good while?"). Should a company be vulnerable to a billion dollar liability because of a judgment call that didn't work out? Hiring anyone is a judgment call. Going down this path, for example, one could imagine a world in which society pressures companies to screen for mental health, and to not hire people who have such issues (e.g. "Who knows? they might go and kill someone!").

> You don't want your fraud-convicted individual working in finance or accounts, nor someone convicted of theft, assault, etc. working in people's homes, particularly potentially vulnerable individuals.

Keep in mind that Holden's criminal background check came back clean (in particular, no legal record of assault), and verifying employment might have turned up "forgery, falsifying documents and harassment of fellow employees." Even believing the former employers (since these charges were not proven in court), I personally would not have expected someone like that to have murdered someone else. Hence, from the limited information that I know of the case right now, Charter seems to me to have made a reasonable decision to hire Holden (not one that I would have made myself, but within some realm of reasonableness).
> Linux is absolute freedom, but that comes with the cost of having to do much more than install, plug and play. You need to be a computer geek, or you need someone else to fix things for you.

Hard disagree. Linux works extremely well for the person that only does basic computing. My mother, for instance, used Linux for years. Folks that need to do things like recompile a kernel in 2022 are way in the tail end of the technical distribution.

The fish shell, makes using the shell feel almost painless.

Hammerspoon, I use it to automatically switch audio devices based on context, so every call uses the best microphone currently available, window management via keystrokes, limiting media keys to Spotify, tons of other things. Indispensable.

Arduino, I don't think I would be able to tinker with microcontrollers as much if I had to write C and use obscure toolchains directly.

Solvespace, a limited but usable free CAD for simple parts to be 3d printed. Wish there was a real contender to the commercial ones though, or a free tier that doesn't smell like it's going away any time. Still very thankful that SolveSpace exists.

The Scala 3 compiler and the VSCode plugin for v3. Absolutely love the language and the experience is so much better than with IntelliJ, haven't had as much fun writing code in ages.

This will be a bit controversial, but Kubernetes, because if people use it via GKE, EKS etc. then I won't have to learn their organically grown solution to the same dozen-or-so operations problems, and I have yet to see one that isn't a hot mess in some way or other. Also anything running on top of Kubernetes won't be built the very old-fashioned vi-edits-on-server way, great for sanity.

Various modern messenger apps (Telegram, Whatsapp, Instagram's direct messages, ...) because I would hear a lot less from some highly cherished and very non-technical people in my life without these incredibly slick and fun and convenient apps. As one who's old enough to remember being dependent on landlines and payphones and letters, this still feels like a miracle.

Batteries are a bit too expensive to make sense as stationary storage outside of some specialty cases right now. But EVs have been economical for a while. So while we wait for battery prices to drop, two way EV charging absolutely make sense as a transition technology. Most of those EV batteries are sitting unused for large chunks of the day, and the entire capacity of the battery is often only needed by the driver a few times per year. Adding two way charging is not a prohibitive cost, and that installation can be reused if/when an onsite battery is added in the future. The rest of the program can be managed with software.
But the problem arises, I think, is when they say they can't read them: "WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption is used when you chat with another person using WhatsApp Messenger.

Blindly not trusting the impressions your brain gives you based on connections and information you've gained in the past is wrong, however being cynical when specifically considering the root of why you think a certain way and considering then correcting internal biases is useful (meditation!)
I kind of like your first idea. The motherboard would be vertically mounted, and then have 90 degree PCIe risers that are structurally reinforced somehow, so that the heavy GPU can also be mounted vertically. You could have 2 of them, one for the GPU and one for additional cards. The whole thing would be mounted via the VESA screw holes on the monitor.

Would probably mostly work for people with quite large monitors though. 40+ inch 4k monitors rock!

... or we just stick with tower cases and some kind of structural reinforcements for the heavy GPU.
I was taking intel's 80486 promo materials at face value. Plus 486 ALU may be 1-cycle but loads and stores are not 2-cycle like they are for C-M0 so it'll still lose :)

> use a machine that has an ssd -- a bad or corrupted sd card will drive you bonkers

I've seen this said many times, and it matches my experience as well. But why should an SSD be more reliable than an SD card when the underlying technology (flash memory) is identical? Or is it not identical? Or it is due to the more sophisticated controller of an SSD?

Greg Egan's Permutation City comes at this question from several angles simultaneously.
Windows GUI still has the same bugs that it had in Windows XP.

The whole system control panel has been dumbed down so much, that it actively tries to prevent the user from finding certain settings. The system still suffers from simply doing everything slower than GNU/Linux. After logging in, it acts as if all is loaded and ready, but when one wants to do something, things still get loaded and icons added "next to the clock". Right click in file browser still feels slugish. Windows stops me from doing the simplest things by asking me silly questions, of whether I want to do, what I just told the system to do.

Very specific to my systems: The closed source graphics card driver crashes often, while the open source drivers have not a single time crashed noticably on GNU/Linux. On Windows this is noticable, because the whole screen freezes, until the driver has restarted. Never happened on any of my GNU/Linux systems.

It is simply not funny or justifyable any more.

Given that Holden was apparently previously fired for forgery (and did not have any felony on record), it seems more likely that Holden would have committed forgery in a call center job than murder as a technician.

Jumping from forgery to murder seems like a big jump to me.

Additionally, going back to an earlier counter-factual, suppose that Holden actually did murder someone before and finished his sentence and now further suppose that Charter agrees with you that it would only be ok to hire Holden for a call center job. Suppose that Holden then murdered a supervisor that he was angry with... don't you think that people would have expected Charter to have been held liable for the second murder?

You could imagine imposing additional restrictions (e.g. "only virtual call center jobs where he would work remotely"), but at some point, the restrictions would be sufficiently outside of Charter's normal workflow that it wouldn't be worth hiring Holden... leading to a chilling effect of hiring former felons.

Airline pilots are also exploited for their passion (most people don't rack up the needed flying hours by accident).

It's also a false dichotomy: I am both passionate about my work and could do it for free (which I do with F/OSS contributions), but I also care about my compensation.
Yes. You can call me smug/elitist, I deserve it for that unnecessary belittling.
This all seems fair. Just a note: we don't generally expect our users to "set up" WireGuard --- we bake it into `flyctl`, our CLI, which automatically brings up WireGuard sessions as needed. A month or so ago I merged a PR to add sftp support to our SSH server; sftp probably works now with "native" WireGuard, and when I get unburied I'll work out an sftp client interface for `flyctl` itself.

It's a rough edge, to be sure! I just wouldn't want to leave it as "we think the status quo is the right way to handle getting files to and from instances".
GSM did support multiple numbers for a single SIM via ALS (Alternate Line Service), but at least in the UK it seems to no longer be offered by the operators. Orange marketed it under the "Line Two" brand.

Although "client computing" is still the largest source of Intel revenue, and its scale was what made the x86 architecture able to crush legacy server architectures, I think Intel takes it for granted relative to the data center.

It would have been very interesting to see an "all Optane" tablet device but it would have been hard to make work: a modest amount of storage would be affordable but it would take a clean sheet OS to maximize performance and economics.

I was skeptical about Optane DIMMs.

Optane SSDs were the fastest SSD you'd ever seen, but the DIMMS were the slowest you'd seen in a while. Although they were faster than Optane SSDs, they were slower than RAM if you replaced RAM 1-1. Optane was denser and cheaper than ordinary RAM so you could pack your machine with a huge quantity of slow RAM.

If access patterns and cache behavior permit, you could build systems of a certain problem size that perform well with Optane. Advanced programming techniques can help.

For every big problem there are many little problems (don't need Optane) and some problems are too big for Optane. Many problems in the size range for Optane can be implemented to conserve RAM and have access patterns that stream well to mass storage. Thus Optane faced fierce competition.
You may see it applying to managers and execs as well, but it's (almost) never applied to them. It's always "growth didn't meet expectations, gotta lay off an entire division", never "profits are down, gotta cut the CEO's salary from $300 million down to $125 million—hope he didn't want to buy three yachts this quarter!"

We've spent far too long worshiping at the altar of Number Go Up. That is not the purpose of companies. They exist, fundamentally, to improve life for real people, and too many people have lost sight of that.
I dont like it.
I am sorry if I misunderstand something here – to be honest, English never was my forte, so I may miss some subtlety.

I did not take your post as a form of hubris. What I meant when I wrote about perspective is that personal experiences shape our assessment of reality. I agree that childhood should be innocent and pure. But sometimes, it is not.
There are moves and lines that only Super GM’s will calculate. Not IMs, not FMs, not GMs. It’s not arrogant, it’s the level of play.
I suppose where my assumption could be wrong is that consumer vs gov spending sort of cancel each other out, i.e. fluxuations in the two are quickly negated because they take place in the same overall "market" and eventually anyway end ups in non-gov hands because there's a lot more of us in the market

Is that backed up by evidence?
No matter how much you love it, 12 hours a day will never be healthy long term. This is what pro level athletes do to compete and get into the Olympics and they regularly burn out after a few years of it.

I strongly urge you to take the time to establish a long term pace that will allow you to regularly decompress from work, learning, and stress every single day as well as whole “step-away” moments for weeks at a time to allow you to completely disconnect at regular intervals throughout the year.

Based on your description, you’re young and your youth is powering this ability to keep going. Even if you take perfect care of your health, this energy will decline with age, more health complications will arise merely by being older, life will put more expectations on you, or conversely, a lack of life due to grinding too hard professionally will bring depression and loneliness.

Think carefully about how maintainable your perspective on work and life is for what will be at minimum the next 20 years.

Stay safe and take care of yourself.
If the original post is true and Facebook is leaking message based data into systems that produce ads (3rd party or 1st party), they have a responsibility to diagnose and resolve the issue. Despite their responsibility to do so, they are not aligned with doing so.

Excuses like "the user did something bad" aren't productive.

A warning that the users expectations (secure communications) do not match reality (3rd party keylogged communications) seems like the minimum level of responsibility:

If WhatsApp derived information is being seen in advertisements, it is Facebook's responsibility. It is in Facebooks best (next quarters profits based) interests to not be responsible.

I really like this take. There are moralistic arguments to be made when it comes to compensation, and I personally have my own viewpoints on what is fair that are rooted in morality, but at the end of the day for the sorts of high-demand, high compensation tech roles that we're usually talking about it's 100% a contractual agreement. It's like selling a car – the price is whatever you can get for it.
Do you roll your eyes at yourself whenever you, say, drive a car?

We're surrounded by things that have their company's branding prominently plastered on them. Hell, stuff like luxury bags (eg: Louis Vuitton) exist specifically to flaunt a company's branding.

Of course, it would be nice if we weren't surrounded by marketing and advertising everywhere all the time, but that's beside the point.
If AI can't solve the captchas, we can just hire people to do it. Services for that already exist and they are fairly cheap.

> second phone number for all my online accounts and 2FA stuff and anything impersonal that is likely to result in getting spam texts and phone calls down the line.

Unfortunately, that will not stop spam texts nor spam calls to the "friends and family" number.

The reason why is that while a subset of phone spammers target specific numbers, a huge majority simply "dial all numbers". I.e., if they are spamming texting a "car warranty expiring" text, they will simply send the same text to all numbers within a given exchange. If they happen to be targeting 202-555-xxxx they will simply send a text to every number 0000 through 9999, because it costs almost nothing to do so. The same goes with the robo-dialing boiler rooms, the computer driving the operation will simply dial every number 0000 through 9999 on a given exchange, and any that actually get picked up get the 'robo recording', and the very few who "press 7 for more info" then get connected to a human who then tries to extract whatever it is they are really after.
A new book by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, called Don’t Trust Your Gut, argues that our “gut” — or whatever you want to call it — is usually wrong. And it’s wrong because our intuitions are often influenced by false impressions or dubious conventional wisdom.

The continued existence of homo sapiens over the last X years would be evidence undercutting SS-D's conjecture that intuitive decisions are wrong more often than right. Of course, to understand the relationship between claim and evidence it would be necessary to understand what SS-D means by "wrong."

As an example of right/wrong, he cites the relatively short lifespan of record stores compared to a dentist office as a method of deciding what kind of business to open. It isn't clear if SS-D is being facetious in terms of business opportunity options, but it is clear that SS-D deals in very low dimensional data, not information, knowledge or wisdom.

Skipping to the summary statistical result is a short-sighted decision method. To get Tower or Waterloo or any other cultural institution, many other ventures opened, innovated and failed as part of an evolution of innovation. To get evolution there must be mutation and selection. Survivorship bias makes the post-hoc claim that if only we did it the "right" way we need not have had all the short lived record stores. It doesn't admit that the "right" way wasn't known at the start.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias
This is an incredibly lame and uncreative vision for the future. Imagine wishing for additional bureaucratic overhead when we have technologies like formal verification which can achieve greater things at lower cost.

Industries should play to their comparative advantages. A huge and mostly untapped comparative advantage of computers is that they reify formal systems, completely unlike a suspension bridge or an office building. If your vision of the future of computers doesn't take that into account, it's worth little.
Yeah but that in the IDE
My main problem with Milton Friedman's philosophy is the assumption that people actively investigate every product they consume. For example, if something says baby formula on the tin, most reasonable people will believe that it is baby formula, and not something terrible like drywall dust.

If the parent investigates the company and realizes that the company is fraudulent, of course they will switch to a company that is safer for their child. But will they do the same for every other product they take into their home? Of course not! There isn't enough time in the day for that.

Even if its just a little bit, some government oversite has to happen to protect the rights of consumers. Not to the point where it keeps the free market from innovating, but enough to make sure people aren't eating literal plastic and putting radium in makeup.

Here's some good advice on what not to do, which you might be doing:

Your problem is not that your "mental state is affecting your ability to learn effectively" as if you were a robot created only to work and learn. Look at yourself with some dignity and compassion.
I think you need to answer what it is you like about your career, independent of your job. Like, I just simply love understanding problems to the point that I can identify a solution that makes it easier for everyone to understand. That's independent of my job, but I get good-enough satisfaction if my job allows me to scratch that itch.

If your job isn't allowing you to express what you love about your career, then you have something to go on in terms of changing your job. But if you're finding you actually don't love your career, that that would imply a different path entirely.
