> The flattest possible would be to have peer review of salary

I've worked in several "flat" companies that tried various democratic things like this.

It always turns into the ultimate game of politics. In this case, it would instantly become "I'll vote to raise your salary if you vote to raise my salary".
More data or access to the data would be nice but I believe this was addressed:

> In the spirit of not giving away what we were doing and potentially compromising the experiment, we told both interviewees and interviewers that we were slowly rolling out our new voice masking feature and that they could opt in or out of helping us test it out. Most people opted in, and we informed interviewees that their voice might be masked during a given round and asked them to refrain from sharing their gender with their interviewers.

Women couldn’t be sure they would sound like women and thus be judged as women.
Nope, the input framework picks up the layout XML from all packages that export a BroadcastReceiver with an Intent filter for the android.hardware.input.action.QUERY_KEYBOARD_LAYOUTS action.

However, it looks like I am wrong, and this is only for hardware keyboards, not software IMEs. It looks like there is an API to pass extra data about layout via InputMethodSubtype, but it's basically a key-value map and thus is completely not standardized across IMEs, if any IME even supports redefining the layout through this API.
Thing is, if that applicant comes in that we just can’t refuse then we might create an opening. Which kind of goes back to my original question.
Peer review is not supposed to be a Twitter popularity contest so these numbers are indeed astonishing.
Which is true for all hierarchical orgs I’ve ever seen as well
I am increasingly unable to distinguish The Onion headlines from the actual news.
Not sure why you feel the need to respond with that sort of hasty, passive aggressive suggestion.

The way I read their comments is that it's akin to hearing that someone learned Spanish (which has different ordering than english) as their first language and asking, "So you can't read a book?". It comes off as wildly naive, with a flavor of offensiveness that you seem to be accusing me of.
hwers's comment lacks some context, but there is some truth to it. Consider Carmack's comment:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnSUk0je6oo @33:50 onward "A closed platform doesn't deserve to be called a metaverse, or does it?"

Making money in the Metaverse is a pillar of what makes a virtual world an actual world. (Ignoring of who does the money making for now) Scarcity is an integral part of it. Skins, models, rare items. In the virtual world it all scarcity is artificial by definition. Just like with second life and the linden dollar making it to real exchanges. Second life sold worlds as some kind of virtual realtor in the past, VRChat's users sell custom created skins and rigged models today and Meta wants to be the platform facilitating that tomorrow, but on a grand scale.

I also highly applaud Meta's contribution to FOSS btw.
Yep. And the more independent rotors you have, the less excess thrust you need to have good performance in a single failure; but the more you have to consider multiple failures.
I really like qtile under Linux. I don’t use windows regularly but would highly encourage an abstraction layer such that others can implement their own manager using your tiling abstraction layer. It sounds crazy but the ability to extend a wm is something a small set of users will use, but will be a great value to those users.
just curious: what about telephone calls? are international voice calls allowed?
I know that people love to deride Zuckerberg and Facebook, but he is completely correct.

Its just not obvious to people because the headsets are bulky and awkward and the virtual reality is not very real yet.

But the new headset is a big improvement in terms of comfort and performance.

But as they shrink down and become more capable, VR/AR headsets, goggles, glasses will almost certainly be the preferred interface for a majority of people within 5 years or so.

If I had an extra $1500 to spend on the Quest Pro now I would, and would try to use it to replace my screen with virtual screens. Might still be too uncomfortable but I will try it out.

To start to understand, think about whether you would like 3 free 42" monitors that could magically hover over your desk. Or if you would like to be able to teleport to your friend's house without actually moving.

Within a decade, using completely 2d interfaces for many computing tasks will be outdated. People will interact with 3d widgets and representations. A lot of the trendiest places to meet will be completely realistic locations in virtual or mixed reality.

The First-party data madness – why it matters?
How bothered have you been as a consumer seeing all those targeted unsolicited ads from brands that you never interacted with? The good news is, you will soon start seeing your privacy is respected and your consent matters on the internet. That's all. Period.

(Only continue reading if you are a marketer or entrepreneur)

The good ol' days of ads and using 3rd party data are going away. The only way to stay competitive in the coming days will be to keep your customers engaged with your business in a meaningful way - not just treat them as money machines.

It's a good thing too. You will get the opportunity to grow as a brand instead of just another internet business.

*What's 3rd party data?*

When you browse the web or use apps on your phone, websites and apps collect your data such as name, email, age, etc. They keep track of you using cookies (browsers), IDFA (iOS), and AAID (android).

Later these aggregated data are sold to entities who may not have any direct connection with you or you never gave them consent. That's 3rd party data.

Advertisers can create comprehensive audience segments based on these data to show targeted ads. The process is more complex in general.

*Why it matters?*

Apple starting from iOS 14.5 made it compulsory that every app needs to display a pop-up asking for the user's consent to get access to IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers). It's that small "ask app not to track" that you always click I can guess. A recent survey reported less than 20% of users allow apps to track.

Google is following the privacy route too. They delayed a bit for COVID but not any longer. They are planning to retire both AAID from android and 3rd party cookies from Chrome by 2023.

While consumers love personalized experiences, they absolutely hate tracking. Now it's up to marketers and advertisers either to increase ad budgets or rely more on first-party data to respect privacy but offer personalization.

*How first-party data can help?*

First-party data is the information you collect from your audience directly. Your audience generally gives their consent and you can reliably engage with them.

In the coming days, to make ads efficient, you would need to attach a first-party data source. Doing so will also help you to portray a complete image of your audience, understand how they interact with your business, and finally communicate with them through personalized messaging.

First-party data is valuable and thus difficult to collect. Being reliable, relevant, and robust - first-party data is often called First-Rate data. A scalable first-party data collection strategy will help to grow your business as a trustworthy brand.

Advergames, lead gen campaigns, content sharing, surveys, etc can help you to collect first-party data at scale. 2nd party data from beneficial partnerships can be helpful too. But all these for another write-up!

There are a fair number of answers about it being old, and I think that it's really important to contemplate what age means for software: the most obvious answer is that you can now use newer standard APIs for a lot of what jQuery did (which, to be clear, is great!) but also that there's been a lot of time to build a ton of projects using jQuery and for those projects to follow the common trajectory of starting simple and growing more complex over time.

Programmers tend to love building new things more than maintaining code and we're _really_ prone to misattributing the causes of problems, especially when that would mean admitting that we're not as good at managing complexity as we hoped. When Facebook's marketing push really got rolling, it started a fad of people crapping on jQuery and talking about how amazing React was — and I saw almost none of them built something which was either faster or, within 6 months, much easier to work on. The only exception I remember was a time where the React rewrite was what gave them political cover to slow feature development enough that they could fix a known design flaw.

That's not to say that newer tools are bad but the teams who did see benefits were already relatively mature: they actually measured performance, had a stable testing approach, refactored regularly rather than letting technical debt pile up until is burst into flame, etc. They would have been successful with almost any tool, and tended not to trash-talk jQuery when they left it behind since part of experience is understanding how much your choices matter.
Most children and many adults do, though this may be more a socially learned reaction than an autonomous one.
The "like" thing means make friends with the folks higher up and help them out work wise so they see you as a trusted ally.
Carrying pocket notebooks was common in Renaissance England and I think throughout Europe. One popular homemade type had erasable pages made from linen stiffened with starch.

Pocket notebooks have a very long history of being used as a sort of buffer memory. Use it to record random thoughts during the day, then transfer to organized journals. I believe I've seen reference to this practice as old as ancient Greece.
I believe the 3060 has taken the 1060's crown: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-rtx-3060-begins-its...

This is why we nudged the moon in this asteroid pair. Overall the change in the entire system is much smaller and less of an effect on the overall solar orbit of the pair.

Rust was still changing quite a lot in 2013. It sounds like you used it back when it had a garbage collector, baked-in green threads, and "~" and "@" sigils everywhere. Rust 1.0 may as well be a completely different language.

Here's a blog post from the same year that proposed removing the garbage collector.

I read the opposite. Their operation is so tight and so efficient that one pledge drive a year gives them 4x their operating budget. The product is better than ever. I don't think there's anything unethical in raising funds with a brand name that inspires so much admiration. If they whiff on a few of their grants that's just life in the real world. I doubt the board sign off on or are even aware of how every penny is spent.
I can't think of reasons that this exist other than they might have fundamental, architectural, philosophical disagreement with VRChat that neither parties cannot tolerate but Facebook/Meta is on the losing side, like over real-name-real-face policy vs having none of it.

I've also never quite liked the term, but I guess they wanted to go with terminology that gamers were already familiar with. For voice chat people would have been used to Vent, TS, or Mumble where you actually did connect to individual server instances. It seems unlikely to me that causing confusion over ownership was their intention even though that has been the effect.

(Interestingly it seems like the choice to call them servers must have come late in development, because in the API they're called guilds)

EDIT: A comment elsewhere in this thread is implying that they were officially called guilds initially but then changed because users kept calling them servers. I don't know if that's true. I don't recall ever seeing them called guilds even in the early days of Discord, but I also wouldn't have been reading their official user-facing docs and support page for pleasure.
I initially thought the same, but using even the current gen avatars for multiplayer on the Quest 2 feels great and is surprisingly convincing. The speech to mouth movement detection looks natural and combined with the body language being accurately represented with reverse kinematics I felt like I was colocating very realistically.
I do think legibility is actually very helpful, especially as organizations grow in size. I'm wondering why you are saying that legibility isn't healthy in and of itself.

Say, for example, I am working on a task and I need something done which is not normal. For example, I may need to make a change to some service that is running, or get permissions or ownership of some object assigned to my account. Because of the legibility that bureaucracy brings, I can find the relevant team with ability/authority to solve my problem, or I can discover that no such team exists.

If the team exists, then that's great. I can talk directly to people with experience with whatever problem I'm solving, who know the relevant policies / risks / recommendations. If the team doesn't exist, I can still just make the change myself. If the team exists but won't help me, I can hand the problem off to my manager. If the relevant people are on vacation, I can find out who has power in their stead. (There are some cases where this doesn't work--my experience is that this usually involves some inflexible legal requirement, or some essential technical expertise, and the relevant person is on vacation.)

This legibility brings a sort of "mindlessness" to the bureaucracy. I have high confidence that soon, I will either solve the problem, or the problem will belong to somebody else. I don't have to think too hard about what the right thing to do is when it's outside my domain, except in the exceptional cases.
Optically maybe, if that’s what you’re aiming for. Just assuming that the “group of white men” are “all the same” is not very deep. The truth is that they’re all individuals with individual stories strangers who judge them by their looks know nothing about. It used to be understood as a good thing to not judge people based on their gender or skin color, including the nowadays declared “evil” white men.
I'm pretty skeptical - that's 30 year old data and I doubt the programmer category corresponds closely with the profession today.

What kind of intellectual capacity would the average programmer lack compared to an RN? Physical/energy/personality demands I could see being a barrier, but not cognition.
I would love to see the Steam Deck release in Australia mind you. Still kind of wild to me that it hasn't been. Conspiratorialy, I always wonder if it's punishment for the ACCC forcing Valve/Steam to handle refunds via Aus consumer law, but I have no evidence of that.
This is all true and correct advice. I’m reticent to add this because, but for those curious about how close you can get to native <button>/<input type="button"> without the native form control, tabindex=0 gets you pretty much there. They’re all effectively useless without JS and all have the same styling capabilities these days, however, so better to just use the thing that’s designed to be a button unless you have a really special use case that you really understand (you don’t).

The average programmer fails miserably at being a programmer. Most of the value in the industry is generated at the top.

I'd guess the average nurse is pretty good at their job. I've only been in a hospital once so tiny sample size, but everyone looking after me there was great. I can't imagine it's an industry with boatloads of cash floating around that lets people cruise by with mediocrity.
Sounds like it's based off wired connections but that functionality is built into some enterprise wifi solutions, too. You can overlay a wireless site survey on top of a floor plan with Cisco and the WAPs can "triangulate" clients and show where they are. It also shows 802.11x auth details and some other neat stats like signal strength, retransmits and interference.

The one I'm thinking of is called Cisco Prime and you can see it here https://youtu.be/xrtGXg5ICa4?t=2235 (when I saw it before, they had 802.11x auth info integrated so it could pull Active Directory/LDAP info, too)

I admit, I didn't read all 92 pages of that doc, I just skimmed to the chart at the bottom. I guess you are using "computer occ" value for programmer? If so, there's a lot more interesting things in there than what you pointed out. For example, the lowest scoring "computer occs" on chart 7 are way below that of "administrative occs", as well as high school teachers, service managers, social workers and clergy. Hard to tell, but looks like clerical-other also has higher minimal requirements. Am I missing the real data or misunderstanding that chart? Because frankly, it looks pretty implausible.

About power structures arising spontaneously: indeed, that's the topic of a very insightful and well known essay about supposedly flat organizations (from the perspective of a feminist author), "The Tyranny of Structurelessness" [1]

The gist is that in officially flat organizations, there always exists an unofficial hierarchy that arises organically, and that because it's unofficial it's unaccountable, unlike a formal hierarchy one could theoretically dissent with or challenge.

>Armed with the ability to hide gender

I listened to the examples and I don't find them convincing at all at masking gender, which is the first thing that would explain to me why they don't find any difference in their outcomes. Unless I missed something they didn't even ask the interviewers to take a guess after the interviews to get an indication of whether their pitch changing is sufficient to throw them off.

In general I'd say voice modulation isn't even remotely enough to mask someone's gender. In particular people who interview for a living can probably tell from the tone of the conversation.
