> If any given role can prioritize profit, pace, learning, prestige or people, then this is a good time to be focused on working with good people in a role where you’re learning

Prestige comes from past endeavor therefore prestige can end up depreciating fast. I'd argue that one should always focus on learning, or more generally, on growth. FAANG companies do give their employees prestige, yet prestige alone does not carry too much weight, especially during an interview. It is the combination of the growing success of a company and an employee's contribution to the success that gives the true prestige and handsome reward to the employee.

Case in point, a Googler 18 years ago would automatically get tons of respect because Google launched a slew of groundbreaking products and popularized a slew of amazing technologies. GFS, Big Table, MapReduce framework, draggable and zoomable Google Maps by AJAX (even though XMLHttpRequest was invented by MS), 1GB of Gmail storage, amazing search infrastructure that goes way beyond the classic methods in the book Managing Gigabytes, large-scale machine learning for both universal search and semantic understanding of Google search, large-scale Google Ads, and the list goes on. FB employees 15 years ago would likely (likely as there will always be exceptions) got a lot more prestige than today because FB scaled its business to hundreds of millions of users, invented a novel architecture for social networking especially for serving feeds, scaled MySQL along the way, invented technologies like Tao, Haystack, React, HVM, Scruba, large-scale memcached, and the list can also go on. Netflix grew its subscribers from a few million back in 2008 to 70 millions about 7 years ago. Along the way, they showed the world how to be productive with merely a few hundred engineers by building tools. They popularized the concept of circuit-breaking by giving the world Hystrix (yes, I know the concept was quite well known to readers of Release It! and Netflix mentioned that they learned that concept from that very book). They built Asgard and later Spinnaker. They built predictive autoscaling service years before AWS built the same feature. They built discovery service and fast loggers and RxJava and Iceberg and a long list of other systems. Along the way, the Netflix in that era enjoyed prestige.

I'm sure people can come up with equal number of negative examples, like the dude who was L6 in Google but spent the last two years solely coordinating teams to using his team's user embedding, and therefore wondered why other companies kept down leveling him after interviews. Of course, I made this example up but you get the idea.

So, chase growth and therefore prestige in the near future, even in the downturn.
I think the trick with some of these debates is just stepping back from the media cycle. I really noticed this with Captain Marvel where for a few months any criticism was suddenly seized-upon as evidence of the person undermining the future of girls/women worldwide, but now, a few years later, nobody thinks that the movie needs defending so vigorously.

As an aside, I noticed a couple days ago that in the live-action Lion King, the person voicing Simba sings, "everywhere you look, I'm standing in the spotlight" in place of just "I'm standing spotlight" in the older version, which is almost a metaphor for the differences since that little verbal error in the animated version feels more humanistic
Employers want you to care about those things though, especially as you become more senior. That doesn't mean you have dedicate your life to work, but someone with 10-15 years experience who doesn't understand the big picture of how the software is used will make bad decisions. Don't let an overly mercenary attitude lead to a perception that you're a liability.
You misunderstood them. "Period" does not refer to the entire argument, as in "no one can change my mind", but to the sentence "people do not buy books", as opposed to "people do no bus books because they [...]"
And yes, I recognize that most of those are Pixar, but Encanto from Walt Disney Animation is extraordinary in every way. Yet the worldwide box office was less than the Dumbo remake. I respect Disney bc they make money and art, even when art is less commercial than what the masses want. The author is dismissing the art that remains.
No, I think Ant-mans and Captains America is correct. Ants-man would be that thing from Rick and Morty.
Is it too late for any significant improvements to email? It seems like, to our lament, we're headed in the direction of proprietary instant chat services and protocols.

Also, you can't overlook that a significant number of people use Gmail/Google Apps and Outlook.com/Office 365 which each use a proprietary communication protocol that is unlikely to change in the future.

So, it does make me wonder, who does JMAP benefit?
Does that imply it was used by someone who knows how to use it?
People that are too dumb to understand satire while pointing out why it's satire are indeed dumb, and should laugh at their own stupidity. But people on HN care more about being smart than self-aware, which is why this site is full of the funniest comments.

As a millennial who grew up watching the great Disney movies of the 90s, I just pretend the remakes don't exist.

Disney (classic Disney-Princess-Disney, excluding Pixar, Marvel, and all the "properties" they've acquired over the years) has made a great movie once every 3-8 years for the past few decades. In between, they've always made utter garbage to squeeze every dollar out of the great ones. Almost every Disney sequel has been a turd. Doesn't anyone remember how disappointing it was? This is just more of the same.

They're still making good ones: Frozen, Moana, Encanto. Just watch those and pretend the rest doesn't exist.

Fertility issues. Luckily we came out the other side (IVF) and our baby is due very soon. But never underestimate how much it can shake the foundations of your world.

Each month becomes an absolute rollercoaster of emotions, and you have absolutely no control. You fill yourself with hope (this month is different, I can just feel it!), only to be absolutely crushed time and time again. You curse yourself. You curse the world. It's the worst place I've ever been in.

- We both faced the issue head-on and considered every option. Don't keep things in the dark just because the truth is scary. I know a couple who delayed seeking help because they were fearful they might be told they can't have kids. But now they're both 39, so IVF will be much more difficult.
- Taking time to reflect and keep my negative emotions in check. It's very easy to become bitter & resentful, and begin to hate others. For whatever reason exercise is my "reflection" time.
- Keeping busy with rewarding hobbies (learning guitar, woodworking, etc), so I had things to look forward to.
- Spending quality time with my wife that wasn't just about baby-making.
- Fostering relationships with family & friends. They can be an incredible support network, and the people who really matter will be there for you. But also make sure you're there for them. You're not the only one going through stuff.

The experience has completely changed how I view people around me. You just never know what people are going through.

And never, ever ask a childless couple when they're going to have kids.

I’ve found that the archive.org OCR generates epubs that might work for an emergency but can’t be read for leisure because of all the errors. The formatting is also often off. Libgen books don’t have that issue.

a lean version of Qt sounds impossible to me. it's the nature of that particular beast. the available/planned features made me realize that the author and i have a different idea of "lean".

i mean, threads, IO abstraction, collections... i have always wondered why Qt has a tendency of re-inventing everything.

anyways, i hope it works out for their Oberon project.
Can't help but think that both would look a lot better w/ text-align: justify on paragraphs.
That’s not even close to accurate, first the clearance rate has actually been falling.

The actual numbers are terrible: for every 100 homicides, 61 percent are cleared, and then 70 percent of those—43 cases—lead to conviction. And this assumes that the correct person is convicted. According to some estimates, four percent of inmates on death row are innocent. Wrongful conviction rates are assumed to be higher for lesser crimes since officials are less rigorous in establishing guilt when capital punishment is not on the table. https://fee.org/articles/most-violent-crimes-in-the-us-go-un...

On the contrary. Unsolved heinous crimes are still common. Here is one that disturbs me greatly. It is still unsolved to this day.

RSUs are a very different story from options. That $300 RSU still has 33% of its value left; the option is worthless. This is one of the reasons the industry is moving toward RSUs. No repricing drama.
I'd also highly recommend Misumi for extrusions.

I had a question about a bracket and its datasheet. The secretary put me on hold for 45s, and someone with a Japanese accent answered and said he was the lead engineer of that line(?!?!)

Like within 1m total, I had the authoritative answer down to the .002 deg, and the head engineer answering me.

So, I buy Misumi.

I also find McMaster is also in that top list of "Just buy from them and not worry!"

I love my Garmin Fenix 7 watch. Built in surf session tracking is superb. Lots of other cool features, solar charging and over a week of battery for my use. I ditched my Apple watch for it.

Having said that, one dangerous area where Garmin is missing a boat is their Garmin IQ store - that ecosystem is basically dead with very few useful apps.
2019 box office versus 2021 will never be comparable. COVID has to be factored into almost everything when doing time series analysis but movies more so than most as it was devastated by the one two punch of not wanting to go to theaters and streaming existing now.
I just setup a wireless bridge this weekend for a farm that needed to stretch their starlink.

I found some interesting behaviour on start link..
Using the starlink in built speed test app I would easily get 150mbps
using the ookla [1] speed test on a desktop machine I'd get no more than 55mbps and on a mobile phone I'd consistently get 20mbps slower than the desktop.
ookla tells you where you're getting your speed test sent to but the starlink one doesn't... is it a speed test just to the satellite in LEO?

Also the minimum repair cost ($499). The Apple repair pricing may work for laptops and even phones, but for a not for a watch designed to be taken diving, skiing, mountaineering and trail running.

Garmins repair costs are much more reasonable and for things like broken screens there are third party options.
This. Fire 50% of the administration and use the money to increase salaries for teachers/hire more teachers.
I'm not going to disagree completely with @pavon. He's stating his lived experience and I respect that. Maybe people are different in this regard. I'm more in line w/ @hardware2win. More smaller functions just seem to add to the cognitive load. But I am a fan of cascading a bunch of message sends / method invocations. I've never had a problem with that.

People seem to be passionate about their answers, now I want to get the programmer psychology book and see if there's data about people being more effective with or without a lot of small functions.
Neat! While on the "note names" mode it would be great to have the notes colored by note instead of by finger (i.e the G note would be always red)
I just find it weird that in their reveal event they portrayed all these people doing extreme sports in the middle of nowhere, climbing some huge mountain with the watch, and then you find out it has a battery life of 36 hours at most.
You're supposed to carry a power bank to your climbing expedition and charge your watch constantly? How impractical is that.
This website is really good

The exception for Graviton here is because every ARM vCPU is a full core, whereas an Intel/AMD vCPU is one hyperthread (i.e. half a core). They're not saying Graviton2 cores are shared. For Intel/AMD, you always get allocated both hyperthreads on a dedicated core; that's why hyperthreaded families start at 2 vCPUs. Only the "T" families feature shared cores.

Never need to charge/fuel it. A coaster brake model out of the weather can go years without any maintenance. Will work for decades with $50 worth of parts. Some models fit anywhere wheelchair accessible. Cheap enough that you don't need keys. Stores anywhere.

In an industrial setting they are extremely useful.
Burn everything important onto some old CDs or DVDs, that should be good enough. Filecoin seems cool too, but you have to pay in filecoin.

I straight up don't hire people with repeated short tenures. Their ego is always far beyond their capability, and there are plenty of now doomed VC-backed startups to fuel their path.
Just look around at lots of how-tos, particularly ones that tell you how to generate and set up certificates.
Not at all, Garmin is not fashionware like Apple. You buy Garmin because you are an athlete that needs an actual complete product that is tested and bullet proof; where you own the hardware, and you’re not ‘renting’ it from Apple. If you want to flash how fancy you are to your coworkers and have a second iPhone, you buy the iwatch.

Apple does not hold a candle to Garmin’s software for sports and training… they have everything from an actual desktop app that works (gasp) without an internet connection, an online portal where you can freely download all of YOUR data (gasp) if you choose the connected option, and the sports and training analytics is light years ahead of Apple.

And besides, Apple can’t receive ANT+ signals from connected sensors, and BLE battery life is abysmal in comparison.

The only thing Apple has on Garmin is the have app stores full on apps, but that’s it. Nobody is using their Garmin to play Candy Crush but that misses the point.

This seems like a super simple way to spread the idea and have it available to anyone.. put it on phones and smartwatches...
apple products are not sunset for _years_. the iPhone 8 i think is being sunset NOW. 6 phones later and it still got sw updates

Eh, we all want things. In a practical sense, if the company wants me to stay, they should make the environment, where I want to stay. Staying just so that it looks good on the resume is a disservice to one's own career, but truly depends on available options and whether one can deliver in the short tenure they are at a given place ( and depending on what we mean by short tenure -- I think 2 years is acceptable ).

We are all mercenaries. If you buy into the mission statement, the management is actually good at selling their vision, you buy it because it resonates with you, you are the owner in some way or you are new to the game and are being used. Sadly, it is that simple.

I also disagree with the premise of "someone with 10-15 years experience who doesn't understand the big picture " example. Person in that example is an idiot. Doing something for over a decade and not knowing what they are doing after seeing different setups in different roles? I have yet to meet a person, who moved a lot, who does not have a well of experiences to draw from.
Here's the rub: the "bad situation" you are in is not independent of you as an individual. When you're young and early career you simply don't have the experience to judge what is good or bad (this is one of the reasons employers like hiring young people). You also haven't demonstrated what you are capable of, so why should anyone else hire you? Short of obviously toxic environments, the best bet early career is to put your head down and see what you can deliver in each job, build a network by impressing your colleagues, and keep an eye out for the next opportunity whenever the time is right.

It's very easy to fall into a self-pity or entitlement trap that can work against you. Just as bad employers sabotage themselves by not caring about employees, individuals can sabotage themselves by not recognize what they are being paid for.
How does it work exactly? This sounds pretty cool
How short is short term? 1 week? 1 month? 6 months?
really wish Hiking Project did, as that's what we usually use for finding trails, with CalTopo for backcountry / backpacking stuff.
This is what I'm going to use when the next time someone asks me to explain what tech debt is.
Yes. If you are moving around in short bursts, you have to show up with enough convincing results to make it seem worth hiring you even for a potentially short time.

It's a dead strategy if it takes you 6 months to get familiar with the company, 3 month to start delivering some small improvements and proceed to leave after one year.

JMAP was stupid when the Fastmail CEO or whoever was here pushing it, and it's still stupid.
Good point actually
Hmm I was curious about the durability part when comparing the trucks. As an ex-skateboarder (lies I still ride around for fun but tricks are hard on my older body) I can say my trucks typically “grinded” away in the middle from, well, grinding. The only breaks haven’t been around the kingpin but more on the sides of the “T” near the wheels.
Really? Admittedly I haven't used them in earnest since before the plague ...

However, a quick look shows them to be dead on price for Mitutoyo dial calipers. Boring heads look a bit more expensive than I remember. Milling bits seem normal price-wise as well.

Who is your go to? Machine tooling is always expensive and I'm always looking for places that are cheaper.
> Let's start from the main domains where we know people don't change their minds—politics or religion.

> In politics and in religion, the main driver is social. We believe what the people we love and trust believe.

Except I've changed my mind on both, despite enormous pressure by people I love not to.

Also this article seems to be self-defeating: if we don't change our minds, why attempt to convince us of that fact? If we truly don't change our minds, no amount of evidence will help us change our minds about this topic.
It generally depends on the paint that was used at the time.

You'd probably need to test a small chip of the paint for lead content.
Sure, but would Encanto have surpassed more of the remakes? I’m not sure. No recognizable IP, no big explosions, trailers didn’t exactly lend themselves to an event movie. Not exactly characters for the theme parks either.
Agree on every point except sunsetting in 12 months. What are you referencing there? They just this year sunset new OS versions for the Apple Watch 3, which was released in 2017 (the 4 came out in 2018).
I'm interested in how you view consultants and contractors. They will be on the job for a few months, or a year or two at most, and move on to the next contract. How do you handle them compared to people with short tenures ?

(vice-versa: how would you deal with a full time employee that you know might not be there a year or two but could be valuable in the meantime)
