I've been doing 2 jobs (1 FAANG and 1 different startups for almost a decade). My FAANG performance reviews are either "exceptional" (highest rating) or [worst case] positive (during feeling-down quarters).

I thought it's not ethical at first, but I really have nothing else to do and doing the same thing every day at FAANG could be boring at times. TBH, sometimes we work on something I'm certain won't exist/will be discontinued in 18 months anyways. I still know I'm doing more than many of my peers who slack around more than I find ethical.

I do _not_ break the law, and in fact some of my FAANG peers know my little secret and almost decade later - nobody really cares about this it seems. I just don't talk about this much.
But does it scale?
Liz Truss was elected Tory leader by the party's membership. MPs were, by and large, not very happy about it. Sunak was expected to win. Truss did what she did, her MPs turned on her, and she was forced to resign. Then there was another leadership contest with different rules which, after some horse trading between potential candidates, didn't give party members a vote and resulted in the uncontested appointment of the person the MPs wanted all along—Rishi Sunak. This does not sit well with some party members, although calling it a coup is excessive.

According to the Diataxis model of documentation [0], the linked project is a "reference", not a "guide".

It's a reference because it's information-oriented, and serves users who want to look up something based on category or keyword.

A "guide for getting started" would be a tutorial, serving the needs of the user who is at study. It should provide a successful learning experience.

The project would also benefit from how-to guides, to serve the needs of the user who have a certain task in mind that they want to accomplish.

I wrote about training my TikTok a while back:

My take-away was there's good stuff on there and awful stuff on there. Similar to the internet itself. The HN comments on my post were very split between loving and despising TikTok:

The Bogdanoff brothers, before their time as rulers of France and the crypto world with a fair, but iron fist gained notoriety by publishing works which were largely gibberish:

NFTs and the like were especially fascinating because it was a game of rock-paper-scissors in terms of cunning, meaning someone could be so cunning that they appeared gullible to those ostensibly one level of craftiness higher, so you never knew if someone was shilling something because they were that gullible or that cunning.

> For example, one plus I find on Windows vs MacOS is I use Chrome with multiple profiles. Windows is able to display an icon per profile in the dock. Mac is not (not idea if this is a limitation of MacOS or Chrome on MacOS)

I have a strong feeling that this is Chrome's limitation. The builtin Activity Monitor on macOS can even plot a realtime graph of CPU usage in the dock icon, and various other apps (including third party) are able to alter their own icon as well, so this doesn't look like a private API. Having two separate instances of an app in the dock is achievable with minimal hackery (I managed to do this a couple of times by accident, just by poking at and exploring the system).

Of course nothing helps if the app doesn't want to go the extra mile to integrate with the platform, which is how we keep ending up with the lowest common denominators for everything.
However, there may be legitimate concerns about a Scholastic "Aptitude" Test where you can increase your score by simply cramming with a guide book. Of course, since that is how most (?) college students operate anyway, maybe it is appropriate after all.

Will be interesting to see if this PM's financial savviness will affect the war in Ukraine, i.e. by reversing or slowing the stupidest financial decision ever made by Europe, that is the decision to sanction Russia before winter. A softer take on Russia sanctions and warmer Moscow-London ties may mean peace, sooner, with less damage to Ukraine and to Europe.

>I hear that it's worse elsewhere

Out of curiosity where is it worse? What if it's like the "grass is greener" effect but in reverse, where people use the "it's worse elsewhere" argument to comfort themselves for their bad living conditions or other discomforts in life.

I mean, I'm sure there are cities where it's worse, but like you said, that doesn't improve the situation for those wishing to live in Berlin so it's kinda pointless to look at places that are worse instead of fighting to improve the location you live in.
There are actually benchmarks that allow measuring search relevancy objectively, e.g. BEIR[1]. Manticore Search team did an effort to make a PR to include it to the list. The results are here [2]. Unfortunately the BEIR team seems to be too busy to review a whole pile of PRs including about Vespa. Nevertheless it would be nice to have both Meilisearch and Typesense there too since it's interesting what performance those non-tf-idf based search engines would show compared to BM25-based and vector search engines.

I am not sure how it's done with cosmopolitan libc, but on MSVC++, when compiled with a hotpatching, every function had a `mov edi, edi` instruction at the start, so that there were a few useless bytes that could be safely removed. Avoid the need for a trampoline.
> A former senior App Store operations lead, who requested anonymity fearing repercussions from Apple, says the guidelines are designed to work on precedent, similar to some aspects of law. New reviewers generally get about two months to become familiar with a database of previous app rejections and approvals chosen to set precedents for each guideline.

Unlike law, you don’t get direct access to this precedent as an App Store developer. Nor is it easy to actually invoke it when you are aware it exists. Calling out a reviewer when they fail to interpret a vague guideline in line with what Apple actually wants it to mean (which you have to do the hard work of understanding) is incredibly tedious and not guaranteed to show results. And if you don’t actually understand how the rules work, you’re basically stuck :(

Is Sunak not an MMT-er ? I heard him waxing lyrical about reducing the deficit early this year on i think it was Nick Ferarri's LBC show. He was pushing all the buttons for monetarism aficionados.

If he is an MMT-er then we might dodge austerity but i can't see him standing up to the bond markets after what the UK has just been through so that will hold him back. Also if he is an MMT-er there's the need for higher taxation and no-one has figured out how that side of MMT should work fairly yet i don't think?
You sure? I know that (for practical reasons?) my contract states that I have to work 40h/week as an employee. But in reality I do not spend such time working, I do work less. How much do I work? Whatever amount of time is needed to accomplish my team's goals, and in any case not more than 40h/week.

I think it's somehow implicit that (especially) knowledge workers do not work counting the hours of work, but towards goals. My managers, colleagues, and pretty much anyone in the IT industry I know (Western Europe) all agree on that, and that it's not unheard of that almost the majority of us knowledge workers, do not work 40h/week, but less.
Yes, especially on the east coast, vast swaths of what was once farmland and pasture is now forest again. For example, most of Connecticut's forests were cut down for not very productive farms before good transportation infrastructure allowed that activity to be moved to more suitable areas. It's now forest again and atlantic salmon are back for the first time in a century.
I downloaded it from Rumble, put the unzipped full content into my Gdrive. It didn't filter it. I'm assuming if it's being blocked, it's only from the original URL and not actually content filtering.
It depends on who you see as the key stakeholders. If my kid were put in an incompetent teacher's class, and the school told me "she's only been incompetent for 2 years so she doesn't deserve to be fired" or "she'll be fired in 6 months or so", I'd be pretty peeved.

This is SO not new. Outsourcers have been doing it for decades. I knew a guy who had 4 full time jobs for 10+ years. He also had about as many girlfriends so i think had something to do with his personality disorders lol, but in any case, he was independently rich before he hit 40 never owning a business, so maybe not such a bad thing.

I'm doing this solo for a variety of reasons.
I used to think that too. The problem with that formulation is that corporations control much of what was previously either unregulated or the province of government in the sense of legal restrictions against government power.

The public square is the internet these days. Freedom of speech is important enough that speaking in the public square should be protected, even when the square is seemingly owned and operated by a corporation... and probably especially then.

I don't know how you can say "this is just done out of greed and disregard for coworkers" based on one bad experience. You might be surprised to find out that lots of engineers aren't well-utilized. I've never held multiple concurrent jobs, but I've been in positions where I'm only 25% utilized because of blockers and poorly thought-out plans. If the business doesn't regard me or my team members highly, why should we be obligated to sit and twiddle our thumbs? If we find something productive to do apart from our primary employment, are we "only doing so out of greed and disregard for each other"? I can subscribe to the "lying about it is reprehensible" bit, but I don't think "making yourself productive" or "maximizing your income" or "not slaving for your employer" is bad.

It's not like employers are committed to their employees; I don't see why employees should be faithful to their employers.

I was thinking about getting a part time job at a coffee bar for the weekends (mostly for fun). I'm a little glad I didn't pursue this because I'd hate to lose my primary job as an engineer just because I wanted to sling some espresso again. I doubt that would happen because...

It's a much different scenario than what is usually talked about with these stories (2x full time vs full time + part time). Still, I wonder if there is (or soon will be) someone who has a part time job and will get fired for it?

Again, I doubt it because I don't think people looking into the scenario would think that's the right outcome. But you never really know I suppose!
Ask them to be design partners.
Contemporary "Lunch with the FT" columns show exactly what items were ordered and the total cost in a little summary box (including cost of the various items, like a restaurant bill). This format did not take hold until 2003, according to the linked Twitter posts, so there is no way to discern from the 1995 column how much was spent.

The linked posts indicate that the FT recently checked with the its accounting department but could not quickly find the record for a lunch more than 25 years ago.

It would have been clearer if the posts/FT said "menus and prices were not printed until 2003" instead of "menus were not printed until 2003", but perhaps this was seen as redundant as most menus include prices.

People signed up for Facebook/Instagram/Twitter with the expectation that they'd get a reverse-chronological feed of posts from the people they follow. People were bothered by the algorithmic feed because it wasn't what they signed up for (and those sites' feeds are often quite bad at showing quality content). TikTok never promised that kind of feed, and by most accounts does a pretty good job at surfacing videos people will find interesting. It's an important difference.

> But just like the overwhelming majority of lung cancer comes from smoking

This is true.

It's also true that less than 30% (in Europe as low as 15%) of smokers get lung cancer. [0]

I point this out b/c I always believed that "if you smoke, you will get lung cancer" whereas the data was "if you get lung cancer, odds are it's from smoking"

I wish that more information was presented this way but I also get that if your goal is to stop smoking then saying "smoking == lung cancer" is a better persuasion play than "odds are you won't get lung cancer if you smoke"

I would love to semi-retire with a role like that. It's not like I'm going to instantly turn off my Internet and forget how to do software when I'm 60. But, I'm also not going to be interested in running at full throttle grinding and chasing promotions, either. I would love to wind down my career with a role like "Grow a beard, answer E-mail questions, be available to help with emergencies, and mentor junior employees." I'd probably only ask for 25% pay for a job like that.

We're looking at the super-low-bar of doing things like removing known invasive plants as published in the state's DNR. They maintain a yearly list of nasties to remove.

We also don't use any chemicals to do the killing, as so many of those have terrible side effects. Killing larger invasives involves something as simple as "black contractor bag enveloping and tied at base". It captures all the seeds, kills the plant, and provides easy removal.

We also see that a lot of "lawn grasses" are also pretty invasive especially to forests. So, we also try to keep the lawn encroachment from happening..... as much. Ive done the high tech solution of "lay a slab of plywood on the grasses at the edge of the forest"!

We're also designing our garden with local plants in mind, including rarer plants for our area. If/when those flower and seed, we're seeing natives with natives. And the non-natives we bring in are checked for invasiveness.

Basically, it's being low-key stewards to the land.

> That Mary has all factual knowledge is a premise, the conclusion that she could deduce her qualia does not necessarily follow

It's not a conclusion; to a physicalist, it's part of the premise, since knowledge of her qualia is "factual knowledge". You can't just declare by fiat that this is false; that's a circular argument, as I have already said multiple times.

> you have provided no proof

The burden of proof is on you, not me; if you want to make an argument based on the claim that knowledge of qualia is not "factual knowledge", then you have to prove that it isn't. You can't just declare it by fiat.

I understand that non-physicalists, like you and Jackson, believe that knowledge of qualia is not "factual knowledge". But physicalists, like me and Dennett, disagree. Given that disagreement, you can't make your belief a premise of an argument and expect me to accept it. All you're doing is restating your position. Fine, I understand that's your position. But it's not the same as giving an actual argument for it based on premises that I must accept.
