As I see it, you need to factor in the chain of employers too.

For example, its easy to be a "dead wood" employee at a large employer. You can stay there as long as you like, and get away with not doing much - in relative terms, I'm not talking literally twiddling your thumbs as the years pass by !

Meanwhile long service at SME size companies is worth more because there is nowhere to hide.

On the short side of the spectrum, absolutely without any doubt whatsoever, anything less than 2/3 years pattern is a MAJOR alarm bell.

Why ?

Because less than 12 months basically means you keep getting fired on your probation periods and you probably should not be touched with a bargepole.

Less than 24 months and it sort of smells like itchy feet syndrome.

So (IMHO) 3–5 years is sort of the sweet spot in tech. It shows you have a degree of loyalty, but also want to keep one eye on career progression - assuming your CV clearly reads like career progression, not ship jumping !
My previous experience with Windows (~3 years ago) was that every single update took ~2 hours to complete, and they were asking to update weekly.

I used to game weekly with my friends, and because of the above problem, I would have to turn on my computer the night before and start the update so I would be able to reliably play a game the following day - otherwise, there was an extremely good chance that they would start gaming at 8pm and I wouldn't be able to join until roughly 10pm due to the Windows updates.

At the time, this was Windows 10. I eventually just switch to an old Xbox (ironically, still Microsoft), which was far more reliable (although XBox updates take forever too), because we could cross-play Apex Legends. But that is an 8 year old XBox One and it finally has crapped out on me.

I'm currently finishing up getting parts for a new PC build, which will have Windows 11, and I really dread it. I wish Apex was for Linux because I just want to have a Linux-based gaming environment.

Anyway - all this to say... macOS major updates might be slow, but they happen so infrequently, that it's not nearly a big deal. Minor security patches are almost never that slow for me, especially compared to Windows.
I didn't get anything from that. My question was not about WASM but Docker+WASM project. Why problem does it solve?
Does windows on arm have emulation for x86 programs? I'd think something like what apple has done in the past with rosetta would be a necessity.

It doesn't have to be super fast, just work well enough.
For all ARM64 Windows devices, UEFI Secure Boot is end-user configurable. And yes that includes Surface Pro X, Pro 9 arm and this devkit.
Physiologically we know the brain keeps developing until age 25. In particular, the prefrontal cortex which is responsible for decision making isn’t complete until then.
Doesn't that require a monopoly or an oligopoly among the competitors to exist? What does it matter if 10 landlords collude to double rents if they only control 10% of the rental market?
This is great. We’ve been chatting with Docker for a little bit (I’m Syrus, from Wasmer) and it’s great to see that they are making progress on improving the developer experience around WebAssembly.

However, I see Docker (and thus, Kubernetes) is as technologies of the past (I don’t intend to start any flamewar, I really believe this by heart).
Metal compute (Web 1.0) lead to VMs which then lead to Containers (Web 2.0 / Cloud) and now we are seeing what the next wave will look like thanks to WebAssembly.

Of course, there’s ton of profit that has been generated thanks to the added complexity of current technologies and abstractions.

We have now the opportunity to rethink what the future will look like. Long live Wasm
At much of it, the OS and even applications actually seem to be running. I remember a macOS update with the full-screen progress bar, where a few minutes in, a browser tab suddenly started playing music, with no way to turn it off...
Thank you! The prices aren't even that bad.
They’re largely phased out in large swathes of Californa due to ‘spare the air’ days lining up almost perfectly with days you’d ever want to use them.
I have trouble communicating to my parents, who are in their 80s and worked for the same company for 35 years, that me switching jobs every couple years is the norm for my industry, and not a sign that I'm a troublemaker, or anything like that.

A lot of people switch jobs frequently because they feel it's the only way to advance, or at least the most cost efficient way. That's not the case for me: I would love to find a place to work for the next 20 years, and if they give me cost-of-living increases and the occasional attaboy raise, I'm not asking for more than that. I make plenty of money, am not looking for a fancy title, and run the other direction from leadership positions. I don't even care about "solving interesting problems at scale" or whatever people say they're chasing.

BUT, the reality is, I haven't found a good company — one where I think I'd like to stick around due to culture and stability and so on — and in this industry we have the option to move on without penalty. So, why not do that, until the right company shows up?
This does seem to be a case of the RNC just not using the tools provided to them.

> "However, the publication noted that the RNC has not enrolled in Gmail’s spam filtering pilot program which is designed to alleviate these kinds of errors."

> "The ability for political campaigners’ emails to bypass the email service’s spam filtering was granted by the Federal Election Commission in August. When the feature rolled out, eligible committees were then able to register their participation subject to terms and requirements set out by Google."

Seems like quite an odd thing to sue over.
I know it is besides your point but the thought of going through all that and then running windows on it made me laugh.
It's so simple, I don't understand why everyone's grandparents don't do this.
I don't think it's fair to say it's a NoSQL database. It's very much a transactional, consistent SQL database.
I am so envious of you right now, to have even tasted this.
A "senior" engineer who has moved 5 times in 10 years staying less than 2 years in any company has five times the experience of a junior engineer. So, they have no understanding of making longer term decisions and seeing things through. Absolutely a red flag if you want to do something longer term. A few < 2 year stints are OK, mistakes happen. Serial jumping is bad and was only possible in an environment of zero interest, free capital madness from 2009 to 2021.

On the other hand, if you just want something done in a short term frame, might not be a bad deal. Don't pay "senior" salary or put them on strategic longer term projects, they are a very experienced junior engineer.
And 21.5 years ago, we were (or at least, I was) celebrating mere multi-terabit photonic switching:

From the ProtonDB dashboard. Top 100, ProtonDB click play ratings system. 26% of those games are tier 1 or tier 2 (no way to give a direct link here).

You could go by the old the medal system, which looks promising at first glance, but "gold" basically means "playable". Platinum is the real metric there, and can be understood to mean "plays as well as it does on its native platform". There are game issues in gold rated titles that would lead to mass complaints and refunds if they existed on the native platform. That is kind of my point. "Playable" is way too low of a bar.
Wait until you buy a NOS Windows PC for the first time. I had a T495 take nearly two hours to run all updates in. About 20 minutes of that was it fannying around working out what to do.

My MBP took 10 mins to update earlier. That's fine.
Every 4-6 years is about right.
What can you do about it. Outside of Apple hardware running macOS you just can't get the same. We can demand all we want but no one can offer what is available from Apple yet. I'm certainly not surprised Qualcomm/Intel/AMD want to add more fire to their feet by talking up their competition.
Domestic pigs will grow tusks and thick hair if left to go feral. Curious how much of the visual change in medieval pigs is due to the fact that they were free range, more or less.
All three links that you posted appears to be either broken or malicious. Are you just trying to explain a concept using example domain names? Consider ".example" or ".example.com" (see RFC 2606) instead of potentially malicious domains.

Hopping around is a red flag for our hiring process across every role (especially enterprise sales, which is my area of expertise). There are lots of little things it can indicate, all of which have legitimate exceptions that the folks on HN can point out. Ultimately a judgment call on your part. For every rule, there are many exceptions. Choose wisely.

Because the techniques don't work, and when people are conned once they are likely to fall for the next con artist selling fundamentally the same thing but with different branding.

A lot of the marketing behind these scams is that they're different than everything you've tried before - the point being is that the number of people who fall for these scams isn't enormous, but they will fall for scams over and over again. Just probably not from the same person selling it.

It's the same as any kind of cult messaging. It's not surprising that the size of a cult designed to exploit people has an upper limit, but it is shocking that the same people will join multiple cults time after time.
With games, it is brutally competitive and the end user cares about performance.

With web dev, there is often total separation from customers so huge resources are expended on things that add no value for users but that create lots of work for devs. Then you have people using inefficient bundling solutions, not splitting UI up, using huge imports, etc.

Also, UI is tricky which can lead to a general over-engineering that adds to package size...even if there was good knowledge of customers, I think devs often find it hard to produce clear/functional UIs (for example, stuff like change of behaviour on hover...bad idea).

I think project managers are unnecessary. If your devs don't understand your business, then there is nothing that a PM can do. It is like polishing a turd.

The whole industry has a massive issue in that developing software is inherently a commercial venture, but 95% of devs leave college understanding very little about business. That is fine when Google wants to flush billions a year down the toilet for some software dev/bureaucrat...but the RoI at other companies is clearly being interrogated more closely now.
Yes, both 32-bit and 64-bit apps should work, as long as they don't rely on low-level x86 stuff.
I liked Jonathan Blow’s ‘Preventing The Collapse of Civilisation’ talk on the same topic from 2019. [1] Although, it’s more related to software engineering. Previously discussed on a couple occasions. [2][3]

You say that as if Apple will become some sort of PC-market hegemon, driving consumers and professionals to use its proprietary ARM hardware and OS despite having traditional Windows- or Linux-based workflows, simply because Apple's ARM is just so much faster.

Here's the third option: nobody cares what Apple is doing over in its corner of the PC market; the PC market remains an x86 market; and it continues to be driven by the needs of corporate buyers buying 1000+-part orders of PCs to outfit entire (non-IT!) businesses with; where those businesses don't care about having the fastest computer, but simply need "a" computer, with support and parts their internal IT department can swap out when needed; where the biggest factor driving purchases is TCO; and where TCO is driven down by commoditization and competition, not by vertical integration.
> One example of these new technologies are aerogels.

And, to be fair, if you could use aerogels, you should use aerogels. They are way better at insulation than asbestos. They are simply cost prohibitive in most cases.

Despite what it may look like, I'm not trying to shill for asbestos :D. I just think it's a microcosm of a problem with society.

The same reason there’s no Apple™ calculator app for iPad?
I really don't think it was that bad. I'd put it in a DIY category with self-install of internet service or hooking up your own car alarm or other such "beneath the surface" technical things non-technical people manage to do for themselves every day by following youtube videos or whatever.

Either way do we need a new post every hour making this same point from yet a different angle?
No, in the non-Apple world, Microsoft doesn't drive the computing industry. It's market-driven coordination between a multitude of manufacturers and retailers where no one instance has control over the others. Apple is a vertically integrated monopoly that effectively rules all its partners (from apps to hardware) with an iron fist and can push its decisions on users (and partners) unilaterally.

So no, I don't want Microsoft to become another Apple.

From my point of view, Microsoft failing to do what Apple does is a good thing because it means there's some semblance of a working, competitive (if imperfect) market. They can't force other companies to dance to their tune.

Loadouts in most RPGs are so absurd even with limits. I'm surprised no game (that I know of) capitalizes on this issue by giving you access to stuff but making you stage it strategically, eg leaving ammo along your line of retreat so you can surprise your pursuers. Maybe designers have found that it's too much prep and planning whereas players want action, but then again the From Software * Souls games suggests many players enjoy having to work at it.
Yes that is a good point. But my overall point remains. I ideally want to see a Senior Candidate gone through the entire lifecycle.

Aye. While plenty of desktop editors exist, having the same UI on desktop and mobile would be valuable, especially for someone learning before they set out on foot.

Western landfills are amazing technology that affordably and safely lock away garbage. Most of the land can be reclaimed for parks or golf courses or other public spaces.

Recycling programs often end in plastics being sent to Asian landfills which are little more than open dumps susceptible to rain, flooding, and contributing to the Pacific garbage patch.

The ending doesn't quite work, and I'd say neither does the article as a whole really.

First, we didn't really forget "greek fire" or "roman concrete" exactly. We don't know what the formula for "greek fire" was exactly because it wasn't recorded. But in modern times we have an amazing chemistry and can come up with a hundred formulas for napalm -- we just don't know which of those matches "greek fire". Nothing was lost but the association between a formula we almost certainly know and a name.

Same goes for roman concrete. We know far more about concrete than the Romans did. We just don't bother to engineer everything to last forever, because that costs money and has little point to it a lot of the time. Yes, some buildings are works of art, but many things just have a function to fulfill, which is often temporary. Nobody is sad that the millions of mass-made soviet residential crappy buildings aren't still as good as new. If they were made to a better standard they'd still be ugly cookie cutter things.

And I'd say the same goes for the Saturn V. We didn't forget material science or heat shielding. We launch plenty rockets and even landed car sized robots on Mars -- that required excellent understanding of heat shielding. If we had any reason to build a modern copy, we'd use whatever shielding is required, after accounting for modern improved materials. We wouldn't be dumbfounded that the thing melted down on the launch pad. That in the popular consciousness we see the engines without the asbestos covering doesn't really mean much of anything.

People routinely cross the threshold from thinking about something and processing it on their own time into a state of nonproductive recurrence of said thoughts in which no real processing is done. Managing this kind of symptom is often the first step in successful long-term recovery; the goal of psychiatry is never just to sweep problems under the rug instead of helping patients process their world effectively.
It's surprising that efficiency is barely mentioned still, in all the latest AMD / Intel reviews, maybe it's even a point that early reviewers have to avoid or something?

To me, the performance per watt is increasingly important not only as we start approaching branch circuit limits (1200-1500W max in the US), but also as (in many places) energy prices continue to rise.

Both idle power consumption (e-state, core sleeping, etc.) and max power consumption (with a few measures of work per watt) should be highlighted in any serious review, probably on par with whatever other benchmarks (like Cinebench, Blender, etc.).
I know. I was just saying that because the person before said the plaintext was "terabytes".
Alternatively things like ‘proper window snapping/tiling’ are pet issues of a vocal minority and 99% of Apples users don’t care about them.

Micro-mapping manholes and benches seems like something that would really benefit from the precision of RTK/PPP GPS. The built-in GPS provider in my phone is absolutely not up to the task.

Suppose I have a bunch of hardware sitting around, a base/CORS reference, etc. Is there an accepted best-practice way to pipe it into my phone to let this app use it? Or to take logs in my backpack and post-align the data when I get home?
Microsoft's CosmosDB (their DocumentDB clone) has a SQL-like (yes) interface.
The mention of Roman Concrete is interesting. Was it that we forgot the recipe or didn't know what was special about the recipe in the first place? I can't find the article now, but I remember reading a while back that part of the reason it was lost was that the materials to make it could no longer be found and apparently equivalent materials didn't work the same.

LUKS is the de facto disk encryption in Linux. For file system encryption, use fscrypt and ZFS native encryption. For backups, use restic or Borg. For encrypted synchronization, use cryptomator, gocryptfs or rclone. File encryption is rarely needed anymore, but GPG works fine for that.

Depends what you want to encrypt.

I've started a draft to your comment 3 times now and it always becomes a "not your cloud, not your data" rant :) But better writers than me have, and continue to, bang that drum so I will not right now.

I could write 100 blog posts about this but let me give you one good example: Years ago when many people still synced their iPhones via cable, you could sync all the major "iLife" apps -- photos, music, contacts, calendar etc. When Apple released Notes.app, it was around the time the iCloud push got really big and more people started using that. To this day, you cannot sync Notes.app via cable. It would be a trivial thing to implement, but it prevents cloud adoption and is so clearly in the "wontfix" category that the only conclusion is that it's intentionally left out. Want your Mac's notes on your iPhone? Get in the iCloud, citizen, and maybe we'll let you.

Bottom line is that if you go back and look at Steve Jobs' 2001 digital hub strategy, the futuristic view was one where the Mac was the ground truth for your data and your apps. You were in charge. You owned the machine, it did what you wanted, and you bought neat peripherals that interfaced with it like mp3 players and cameras.

But today the "digital hub" is the cloud, and the Mac is just another peripheral. Today by default Macs and iPhones need to be "activated" via internet connection to reinstall the OS, and any peripherals you buy (looking at you, fucking HP/Epson shit) will likely force you to create a cloud account which means they own it, not you.

<insert cloud rant here>

Side note: Windows is a worse offender, you need look no further than Windows 11 and its removal of the local account except via extremely technical/hacky means. This is an intentionally malicious push to their ecosystem, and one I hope Apple does not follow (but essentially has on iOS and I won't be surprised if/when macOS follows suit).

PPS. One of the next big pushes here will be passkeys. If they can tightly couple your online services to their devices for authn then the ease and freedom to migrate systems is reduced further, and "knowing" your credentials for an online service means nothing. The cloud provider decides if you get to access it or not.

They do similar job in the sense they both generate data for hardware rasterizer, but I think the differences are rather large.

That PS2 coprocessor is similar to a single ARMv7 core with NEON.

Mesh shaders don't run loops for elements of the meshlets, they do them in parallel, on different threads of the same thread group.

It's worth pointing out that the "historical accuracy" comes less from a medievalist perspective and more of an appeal to tradition. The characters and setting are often amazingly historically accurate in some parts while following the same old revisionist tropes in others. Given some of the political statements of the developers, this isn't all too surprising.

It's a bit like reconstructing a vision of the 1950s US by exclusively looking at 1950s TV ads. Yes, you'll get a lot of details right to an astonishing extent but the result will not at all be representative of what living in the 1950s was actually like.
