I love the resume itself: the non-fussy font, wording, and layout is refreshingly straightforward. It makes me want to take your dad to lunch and hear all his stories. My grandfather piloted a B-29 in 1945, and his brother was an early computer scientist; maybe their paths overlapped. Warm regards to your dad!

I understand the environmental reasons for a company to do this, it’s very important and would you happen to know the business incentives for them doing this?
I was curious, but this website asks for your email to even look at the job listings.
> "not safe for work" (NSFW) content, which includes nudity and pornography, are the highest-growing topics of interest among English-speaking heavy users, the report found.

This helps clarify it, especially the bit about NSFW content. Twitter is essentially going the way of any other poorly moderated public space: It is becoming a haven for the types of content that it allows that other spaces don't. You absolutely can't post NSFW content on Instagram or TikTok; even a hint of it can get you banned (though it's always a roll of the dice) and people who produce NSFW content but have totally SFW Instagrams still get banned all the time for just mentioning their job exists.

I wonder what percentage is hardcore left or right politics as well, as in, the kind of stuff that's inflammatory enough that only people you agree with engage with you on it. That's the other big thing I associate Twitter with: hot takes about politics from the most unreasonably radical people imaginable.

The problem is that as communities of people that the majority of humans don't want to engage with grow in size on a platform, the number of "normal" folks decreases. Unless Twitter gets its act together and starts enacting consistent, clear, predictable moderation, this is just gonna get worse.

(Note: I am not saying sex work or adult/NSFW tweeters should be moderated away. I am just saying that they are on the platform because other platforms won't have them, not because they like the platform or would choose it if everything else were equal, and that Twitter's interests are adverse to theirs.)

Don’t take away admin rights for devs. I gotta file paperwork every time I want to elevate to admin.

I develop. I iterate incredibly fast. I don’t have time to wait 2 weeks for security to sign off on a tool that I want to use.
That makez perfect sense. If you know it and can assist, why not.
The WEA alerts use a pretty high threshold for whether or not to message people, and it's only been in place for a few years. It's possible you haven't been in an intense enough location during a 5+ magnitude earthquake. You might be interested in the ShakeAlert after action reports[1] which include maps showing roughly who was notified, how much advance warning someone potentially received, etc.

One downside with WEA is that it doesn't give a ton of granularity, so in theory they only issue them in areas where the alert will potentially save lives (despite latency concerns). One thing that the Android alerts do which I think is smart is to send out lower-priority alerts for non-dangerous earthquakes that still have enough intensity to be felt. Having that lower prio alert helps build confidence and trust in the system. Turns out people actually like advance warnings for smaller earthquakes, and unlike a real "oh shit duck and cover" alert those ones don't bypass Do Not Disturb mode.

Technical detail, amber alerts refer specifically to missing children. The other ones aren't amber alerts. But seemingly all of them trigger a loud sound.
The point is that we’re not actually recycling plastic. Never have been. It’s all been a sham and being burned or shipped off to other countries (and many times those bins on the ships “accidentally” just get dumped in the ocean.

Secondly, if you’re personally generating that much plastic per day, I think the first step in your personal journey should be to re-evaluate how that’s happening and change your habits to reduce it. Making that much waste isn’t normal or healthy.
i dont mean this singular method in particular, just the ability to run automatic conversions to 3d or generating 3d assets without needing to hire modelers
If there's no way to get close to it in a certain amount of time by starting from scratch, chances are there's no chance to do it with a rewrite in the same amount of time.

And again, SQLite is used in places that Rust has no compiler for. This is a hard constraint that precludes using Rust.
Over the years i've had debates with co-workers when someone changes roles with less responsibly, or goes from managing people to not but increases their salary on if that is a "promotion"

My Position has always been "More Money, with less responsibility, is the best promotion one could ever get"
About the diesel: it's mentioned indirectly in the post.

Of course there are going to be co2 emissions caused by the products. The factor, even the workers are causing co2. Some of it is unavoidable and they recognize this. Still a lot can be saved.

What can't be saved by Apple('s partners) will be saved by avoiding to burn oil, wood, etc in poorer countries, offsetting the co2. This is how many companies already call their products co2 neutral (by offsets) right now.

By contrast: other companies (Stripe) invest in co2 capture, but this is wildly less efficient than offsets.
No, "we" cannot just ignore patents by implementing them in software. Maybe you can but that doesn't scale.
Gee, if the market for your engineering degree didn't evaporate by middle age then maybe there would be a larger candidate pool.

The half-life of an engineering/STEM degree in the US is about 10 years. 10 years after graduation, half of those with a degree are no longer doing engineering. Another 10 years and the numbers of those that remain are cut in half again.

In other words, by the time a graduating class reaches age 45, 3/4 of it has some other job --- and a lot of this isn't by choice.

I know all this from first hand experience. I had to start my own company in order to remain employed in the field.
Downvoters: prove me wrong… what’s your recourse when the shop refuses to corporate?
Yes, you could go and mint NFTs claiming to be authentic.

The same way you can try selling fake Rolex’s or picasso’s.

Any serious buyer would attempt to vet the items provenance to make sure it’s authentic. You might be able to pull a quick one on some, but that’s not unique to crypto.

This form of steganography, of course, can't survive virtually every image transformation and format conversion and thus can only be used for limited cases. PICO-8's .p8.png format is one such example [1].

It seems to boil down to taxes, credits, and getting things done in places with poor controls. Everything electronic requires copper, the less pure the more it needs to be refined using massive amounts of energy provided by diesel and coal. The large trucks (400 ton behemoths) burn ~92gal/hour or 350liters/hour and run 24/7. Solar panels come from China, China uses coal and questionable labor to produce the panels. Everything is shipped across the world using oil. Minerals for the batteries and minerals for the wind turbines. Turbines use about ~5tons of copper, half of which is copper wiring. The amount of refining and how dirty it is I don't think people really grasp. The refining process is really something. Here's a neat thread on it: https://twitter.com/mining_atoms/status/1584306032653717505
Gotta DeMorgan's that statement to capture the true essence: Being not-incarcerated and not-dead is high utility for most people.
Eh, it depends on context. If all your build servers are *nix boxes, no point in spinning up an NT machine just for building those images. In a Microsoft shop, controlling *nix boxes with powershell is probably a decent idea.
The Fed Funds rate was 0.25% one year ago, now it 3.25% or >10x higher…
Not sure about that. I read one mega container ship produces produces the same amount of pollution as 50 million cars and emissions from 15 match those from all the cars in the world
That part of the ruling, too, was based on the arbitrariness of the order (in particular the fact that the rule was indefinite rather than temporary, and applies only to city employees and not private employees once the private rule was rescinded).
That may be, but it is really difficult to see how anyone will honestly make a case this was not government overreach, and an arbitrary overreach at that. We'll have to let it play out...
Because they're deciding to try improving their driver API compatibility layer to import the Intel drivers directly from Linux instead of reverse engineering like OpenBSD is. Time will tell which approach is better in the long run.
The median age of a Covid-associated death in the US, with its grossly obese and unhealthy population, is more or less the average life expectancy. It's absurd to dictate public policy that affects everyone on the basis of keeping the elderly around for a couple more years.
I used to write a lot of code on my beloved HP48 while I was a student.

The keyboard was good enough, nice tactile feedback and relatively good software handling of multiple and rapid key presses, contrary to the TI calcs that had horrible keyboard handler (only one key press at a time)

I miss the way I was able to simply relax and write code without having to sit in a chair.

I believe that thumb typing keyboards can be good and high quality.

I wish that a company like Teenage Engineering would follow the exact same recipe as Clockwork Pi with with a higher quality finish and keyboard.
So, thinking you KNOW a semi-hidden or non-obvious TRUTH about the world combined with opposition (from other non-KNOWing people) drives fanaticism?

I suppose that makes sense, even if we take it out of the political arena people have been becoming fanatical about things like religious locations and iconery, music and arts, ufos / aliens / bigfoot, all sorts of things that allude to the mystical / beyond / bizarre pretty much since we started recording history.

I would say its more like an "aborted hero" complex, they're so close to being "The One" who knows "the TRUTH" and therefore will have a lasting impact on the world beyond the scope of their own circle of influence that their inability to cross the final threshold drives them mad.
But we want Macs. We want iPhones. We have the tech which is a large part of the solution, then invest in it.

(yes, the European taxonomy is not great. Different countries, different opinions, better some conclusion than none I guess...)
Maybe the science on this has changed? The display I saw when I visited in 2016 says they attribute significantly accelerated deterioration to the choice to spray the vessel with PEG.

Some discussion on this at https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/pressroom/presspacs/2012/....

But I'd certainly believe them if they've changed their estimates.
Yeah, I did one of those interviews with them circa `93 and got that exact question!

Speech to text is still really bad, Cloud costs are real bad too, checkout https://text-generation.io or OpenAI whisper which will fix that fairly soon I think. Over 8x cheaper than Google.

There's lots of other cloud cost stories like CloudFlare R2 egress saving people millions on large file storage.

I'm surprised decentralization hasn't hit cloud providers as hard yet either.

With that hotspot example my Telco in NZ (spark) blocks me from using a Wi-Fi hotspot on one of my android mobiles, which is ridiculous that they can turn off an Android feature on my phone for profit.
I agree with your general point, but medical doctors are the very last example I would have ever picked.

Ok, to actually add to this instead of just a one liner…

My current employer is a prime example of this stupid mentality causing issues.

They’ve gotten better about it but since I started little over two years ago they’ve had probably 60% turn over of full time team leader and higher staffers. Our poor VP spent the last 3 years arguing with our Japanese President and others about the need for retention policies as we have such a high staff turn over that it was/is costing us money in overtime etc. we were in a bit of a death spiral last year that we’ve luckily pulled out of but we lost so many people due to COVID and similar that we were working people mandatory 12 hour shifts with mandatory OT and kept having /more people/ quit. For obvious reasons. And then new hires wouldn’t last through their first paycheck.

They had to up base pays and bite the bullet and hire a ton of people all at once to try and get shift times lower.

It’s one of those things that makes me glad I’m IT. I’m a critical employee and they bend over backwards to accommodate me when I need it. I try to not abuse that though :)

We are a tier 1 parts supplier for Honda and we operate damn near 24/7/365
I share this position fully, but we need to consider the benefit of a standardized test despite its flaws. Other paths to success need to exist (e.g., university admissions take people on other merits besides SAT and similar) but it can be more difficult to assess the validity of any claims regarding level of experience without a well-known certificate.

When a job doesn't focus on what LC asserts, and I think we'd agree about how huge that segment is, then naturally it should be a small or non-existent consideration.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work. It just means that some people are going to overestimate their competence to make those changes. I would be happy if it could only be turned on via Terminal, for example.
AV1 would be ideal to support. It is resource intensive for software, but with M2 MacBook Pros, for example and upcoming iPhone A17 processors, the AV1 decompression and compression codecs could be put in the hardware.

AV1 reputedly is 30% more efficient than HEVC, important for a number of cases, such as more efficient use of bandwidth over cellular. For FaceTime over cellular Apple today uses the HEVC codecs if available on source and destination phones.

In software AV1 is very resource intensive.
Many moons ago I lived in Cyprus and rather enjoyed windsurfing. I recall a rather lovely session off Evdhimou beach in around 1986ish. The wind was 4-6 and nearly directly onshore, surf about 3 foot, so ideal conditions for seriously fast blasts for miles before a gybe and then more of the same. I was sailing a Fanatic Bee - semi sinker and a 5.5m2 sail.

I was doing a broad reach at full belt, bouncing over wave peaks, spray everywhere. That beach is very shallow - 1.5m (5') for about 1/2 mile or more and it is also basically quite flat. That means that waves are quite stable when you get there.

I came in from around 2 miles out. I'm hooked in, poised over the water about 18" from my bum doing around 20 knots. I'm perfectly balancing a shit load of forces and feeling absolutely invincible. I then see a dorsal fin rise up out of the water behind me and I came close to voiding my bowels. The Med doesn't have many sharks but there are some. Great whites turn up from time to time.

It was a porpoise.

I ran for around a mile with several porpoises bouncing around in my wake. I would twitch my board and they responded and pissed about in my tiny wake. They would probably prefer a bigger wake to play in but I was the best offer at the time.

For me it's less war scenes like in LOTR and more longwinded action movie scenes, like people fighting or elaborate car chases or what not. One of the many reasons why I'm really not a fan of the superhero genre that seems so pervasive nowadays.
IMO (and I'm talking from a perspective here that I believe aligns with their incentives) it's basically at this stage rational self interest, and I'm not talking about survival lol. Straight up makes sense investment wise because companies are starting to be shamed (rightfully so) for not being green, so there's a business case for increased investment returns on your capital, also with some of the carbon credit type deals (an area I have little knowledge of other than it being "important"), being able to trumpet cleaner production processes means that your product will be chosen over another. I figure there's a fundamental shift in the market coming, and I (and others who want to see their investments grow and not shrink) want to be on the wave.
> Correctly stating that the risk of aftershock on today's event was minimal

We’ll this is terminologically correct due to that fact that if a stronger one follows then the initial one is a foreshock and the stronger one they prepared for is not an aftershock but the main event.

Anyway, I gave unsolicited feedback. Reject it or embrace it, no matter.
No? Mercedes obviously isn't the only other car manufacturer.

They're are many others and they nearly all have worse 'quality' reputations. Obviously the sum total of all their sales is way higher than Toyota's.
This is true, but only because a cryptographic binding to the OIDC JWT would be meaningless. Fulcio could conceivably hash the JWT and add it as another certificate extension, but I don't see why it would (since nobody is expected to "burn" the JWT by publishing it after expiry).

> Why not just sign your software's hash and put it in the log, "binding" it as you say?

That's exactly what it's doing. Is the objection you have solely to the fact that it can be done with short-lived keys?
Fostering good will to prevent future violence.
> The two are not always correlated

Not always, but still I would assume that people with complex tasks generally become more experienced and accumulate specific knowledge over time that makes them better at what they do. Therefore, it should be the default for employees to get a raise every now and then, unless there are clear signs that someone is not performing and the employer is not interested in keeping the person.
> Articles like this are being misleading on purpose.

Maybe your complaint should be with the State of New York for having such a misleading name for their lowest-level trial court, and not the OP for literally referring to it by its name ;-)
Rewarding seniority works if you have a fair system of performance management in place. Assuming your tenure at a single company is directly correlated with your ability to perform well, and grow and improve your value to the company over time, it would make sense.

That being said, when somebody finds that fair system sustainably in place at a company, let me know. Fair and accurate measurement of an employees performance, free from bias and favoritism ... I'm just not sure that's how people work.
dd is a straight razor, and if used well it can optimize disk transfer speeds for the specific hardware you're running on (for large data transfers).

Don't believe me? Use DD to create a sizable sample file (let's say 2 gigs or so) from rand and try copying that file to your disks with different block sizes (powers of two). Write a small script, and run all your tests with the time command to compare results. Go make dinner, and by the time you're back you should know the optimal block size you should run your fucking huge disk transfer at.

dd is perfect as it is. It does exactly what you tell it to do.
You could run the web server (or other long running processes) within screen in the terminal, but yeah, that's stretching it.

I look into i3, thanks!
Yet taxes will go even higher. 25% corporate profit tax? Get out of here.

It is confusing because NY likes to be confusing.

Almost every other state the State Supreme Court, is the top court of the state, just like the federal court

And the Court of Appeals is lower than the State Supreme Court.

Why NY needs to needless complicate everything is beyond me

MP4 is seriously one of the easiest binary formats to parse, and even if you couldn't use an existing parser it would probably be the simplest part of whatever you were actually building.

Under their accounting scheme, how could it be possible to shift emissions to other sectors?

If you figure that out, you should definitely share the specifics, as it would be a major flaw.

But if you don't have a specific way this could happen, then I suspect you are falling prey to the fallacy that decarbonization is impossible.
How would you define "shared prosperity" then? How would we compare it to some other time or place?

Increasingly escalating 'No true Scotsman'/appeal to purity arguments are sure fun!

I say let's just assume people are not by default acting like a villain in an episode of Captain Planet.

Partner and I have dabbled in Veganism, it was detrimental to our health. One diet can't fit all and we should not apply morality to one or the other, within reasonable limits of course.
No. And this is what everyone gets wrong about advancements in technology “replacing peoples jobs” What will happen instead is AI will augment the job to be more productive/ efficient / or give an ability to produce something not possible before. GitHub co-pilot is a good hint as to where programming jobs will be going.
Stress can also cause serious permanent damage, not only transient symptoms that might be mistaken for something else.

If I see a colleague who's too stressed, I'll impress upon everyone the importance of correcting that.
In my experience this is a challenge because everyone believes they are a key contributor.
By calculating it based on seniority and role, or based on experience and role.

Both the janitor and the SWE get more valuable as they get more familiar with the company, but it's still a different role.

OTOH, a SWE doesn't need to be promoted to Principal Engineer to be more efficient at IC work because he knows your proprietary systems inside out.
I could be that apple added hevc and heif to their phones

Sounds a bit like what Google does internally for promotions. Except their execution is failing so badly it is starting to affect the company. And also that I have no faith in this concept any more.
