Yep.

Other articles I've read have said they are somewhere between Microsoft and Sony as far as gaming revenues go.
I have not read the article but I disagree with your last statement. When I contracted for the federal reserve, every new engineer was required to moonlight for 6 months on support rotations. Doesn't matter if you were hired as an AD architect or Weblogic admin, you were only on call to assess system failures for that time. Why? Because then you have intimate knowledge of what users were experiencing and that colored your experience to think of how users interact with your system. Lots of engineers rage quit by the second month, but everyone who stayed provided great design and strategy input to their areas.

This is what made me customer obsessed and to this day I will meet with the support team at any new company I work with to understand the plight of the customer

I think that a lot of people in this thread are expecting too much. Spinning up REST services and some kube clusters and maintaining them isn't why FAANG/MAANGA whatever make 300k+ a year and like 450k+ at the staff level. They make that because they're architecting and scaling services to literally something like 50% of the global population, and theoretically with deep knowledge of the distributed systems algos and gotchas needed to do so. And because of the difference in profitability of these tech cos compared to typical industries.

Like if you have normal modern tech skills you shouldn't expect to make top 0.1%th percentile of the industry salaries. People with those normal skills make 50th percentile and up salaries. Which are high relative to other industries, but not top of our industry high, sorry.

Your (the general your, not you in particular) labor is valuable but not that valuable :P

Not to mention that the available amount of positions at these top tech companies are limited. Not everyone will get to them, because there just aren't enough.

Edit:
However, I'm a big believer in the idea of "You can eat what you can catch." So if you can otherwise raise your earning power to that of a FAANG Eng for doing normal work -- more power to you.

I definitely agree the mass market appeal to VR is yet to be proven. This is a big part of why I say if Apple chooses to launch a VR headset. It may never be proven to be a successful mass market technology, and if so, I imagine Apple may never release a VR headset.

The main use cases I see are gaming, and of that market only certain kinds of games. Then on top of that its challenging having the space to play those games safely. Personally, I really enjoy my VR headset, I love playing games like Star Wars: Squadrons in VR.
I have tried a lot of stuff, and I believe Lego Marvel Super Heroes (or other similar Lego games) are absolutely perfect for a small kid. There are infinite lives, and you can play co-op where you can do all the hard stuff while they enjoy the ride. Eventually they will learn by seeing you do stuff, and they will learn and want to do it too. It is truly amazing, a very forgiving game for a 4yo.

As a side note, my son learned this using a fight stick, since "move the stick in that direction to make your character go to that direction" is easier for them to comprehend and associate than using a dpad. Also way easier to hold with hittle hands.
And I guess that means we won't get any more cable interface innovation for a while. Are we really that certain that micro USB -- I mean, USB-C -- is the format to standardize on for the foreseeable future?
I love asciinema. A key difference between these two tools seems to be that asciinema records a human using the terminal, whereas VHS generates output based on a list of steps to execute.

I can see VHS being nicer than asciinema for a lot of applications, since you can avoid typos and fumbling, and you can easily re-render the same output with different settings.

Right. Take their annual report, divide the net income by the number of employees. Call that 'X'.

Then do the same for some big tech companies. Call that 'Y'. The employee count is way less than for Exxon.

Most likely, Y >> X. Vastly greater.

So to a corporate bean counter, the "value" of an Exxon employee, X, is about what they're paying them now. Hiring one more, even a brilliant tech guy, will have a negligible effect on any numbers they care about. Especially since he'll be frustrated by the dinosaur culture and his inability to have any impact.

You can say "you're wrong, what about <new energy thing>?" Well, this finance guy understands Exxon's numbers pretty well.

All the more reason to not dismiss them as for "people with nowhere else to go" and simply make sure that they are well maintained and people aren't using them as their personal poop graffiti space.
It should be clear that working at a fundamentally harmful company, like Exxon, Marlboro, or Peabody is going to self-select for certain types of people [late clarification: in leadership roles] and those people are simply not care about the wellbeing of others as much. I feel for the people highlighted in the article, and everybody wants to feed there family so I don't begrudge people working hard on land rigs in the Bakken, semi-submersibles in the Gulf, or even the development teams writing Exxon's reservoir modeling software or IT teams running them. But it is a company that has contributed to unbelievable harm to the planet and I would expect them to treat their line employees worse than an average employer for the same reason.
Indeed, it promotes inaction because the goal is so impossible you might as well not even try.

Better to set a goal we can still actually achieve and take the consequences of that level for granted.
I think you only need to track financial transactions, advertising companies would have to report and be taxed on income. The government has shown moderate competence at being able to implement things like this (maybe there are some areas where there is a lot of tax fraud, but generally it works).

It is an interesting question you raise about second order effects-- would there be ways to work around this to get advertising for free?. For example maybe spam would become more common and intrusive and be used by more reputable companies. Note that ideas such as "hashcash" were solutions to effectively put a fee on email spam.

The root of what is troubling about this all is that free speech isn't a sufficient framework in the modern world where attention and time are constrained.
What I would do: Dry learn a few new techniques then shut off the brain. Fun practice in flow state then revise a few sessions later. You may have misused some of the techniques but nailed a few and may as well have come with an original hybrid. It is imperative to have fun and dial down on pressure otherwise it gives rise to frustration which is valuable in itself when self critiquing but it is also an enemy to productivity. I apply the same philosophy with learning instruments and it works quite well. Is it slower than other approaches? Maybe, but my goals are to first have fun then to get better. Also it is a productive disconnect from programming and work. But also keep in mind that this works for me and may not work for you. But in order to find out you have to give it a try. Good luck:)

Those actions were not the result of a national security letter. NSLs can only require the production of existing records. They cannot require the release of the content of communications nor the collection of records which don't already exist. They must also specify the time period the records request covers which can only include up to the date the NSL was received.
Out of curiosity, how did you spend the remaining 99% of your effort?

> s6 is a small suite of programs for UNIX, designed to allow process supervision (a.k.a service supervision), in the line of daemontools and runit, as well as various operations on processes and daemons. It is meant to be a toolbox for low-level process and service administration, providing different sets of independent tools that can be used within or without the framework, and that can be assembled together to achieve powerful functionality with a very small amount of code.
I doubt it, though I only have the audiobook. The subtitle refers to an in-story book.
FWIW, I did google it, and in Caravaggio's case we know some of the women's names who he used as models (and their occupation did seem to line up with what's suggested by the factoid).
Now do that again, but this time the regular expression is controlled by 2 command line params, one which gives it the substitution, the other one is a boolean switch that tells it whether to ignore case. And the script has to give a good error if the substitution isn't a valid regular expression. It should also give me a helptext for its command line options if I ask it with `-h, --h`.

In python I can use `opt/argparse`, and use the error output from `re.compile` to do this.

Of course this is also possible in bash, but how easy is it to code in comparison, and how maintainable is the result?

And all because Apple refused to play ball and just adopt USB-C like the rest of the industry. They're too used to US regulators that just roll over and don't follow through with their threats.

For over a decade the EU has tried to get the industry to adopt a common standard without mandating it in law (we got microUSB on all phones instead of the previous proprietary ports thanks to the 2009 voluntary EU memorandum of understanding that had no problem with manufacturers upgrading to USB-C when it came out), and only Apple kept on refusing to do it.
Many countries tried this, even the ones we consider the "modern world" (like france, more than once). Some even prohibited export of encryption, so they could more easily decrypt foreign traffic (usa). Some protocols were even designed with "alternative" encryption, intentionally weakened (GSM).

It’ll be nice to see USB-C across the range.

Though the timing is uncanny because when Lightning was announced they said it was going to be around for ten years.

Obviously that didn’t factor into the EU ruling, but 2022 is the tenth year of lightning. So if they switch next year that’s an amazingly accurate prediction.
If you don't want a framework, why do you want a framework? Picking an old, barely-used framework because it pitches itself as "fat-free" is a mistake: either use a good, modern, widely-used framework (like Laravel or Symfony) and benefit from a cohesive framework experience OR skip the framework altogether and grab best-in-class packages for each of the individual things you need and wire them together yourself. You could probably get all of what you need out of PHP League's packages: https://thephpleague.com/

> The problem in my opinion is that we have reached peak advertising. Advertising is ultimately a doomed business model as it works against your users' interests, yet requires those users to willingly use the product and engage with the ads.

Isn't the problem much simpler.

It's a shift in users attention to other social networks like TikTok, plus Meta already capture the total addressable market.

It's hard to continue growth when you've essentially plateaued and now users are spending less time on your site.
I think the security concerns are a lot closer to a notebook than they are to other digital devices. It really doesn't do many things. It writes notes, and has ebooks and pdfs.

A smartphone requires different security concepts than a flashlight because access to a smartphone can open up all sorts of risks- identity theft, bank account access, etc. But that's not true for the reMarkable. It offers roughly the same capabilities as a notebook. If someone got into my reMarkable they would have access to exactly the same stuff as if they got into my old notebooks.
I think there are definitely wrong answers to syntax if you want people other than PL nerds to use your language. Agreed that a library shouldn't start its tutorial talking about how nice its interface is. But at a certain point, you should probably come around to a syntax that is fairly standard. There's a reason a lot of UI libraries standardized around JSX.

Basically, syntax might be your last thought, but that doesn't mean you should neglect it.

Yeah, I didn't learn money management from my parents, I learned financial anxiety from our parents. I learned to fear scarcity. I didn't learn how to use money efficiently, I learned that I needed to figure out how to use money efficiently[^1]. If you are financially secure, I think the best bet for financially-secure parents who are trying to raise frugal kids is to teach gratitude and contentment. Teach them to look with compassion at people who are lower on the social ladder rather than looking up with envy. Maybe try to help them understand how precarious and insecure you feel when you're poor, but also how happiness is divorced from wealth--deep joy comes from relationships, the natural world, etc. The happiness from purchased things is fleeting and superficial. To summarize, before parents can teach kids how to manage money, I think parents need to build the emotional connection around "why they should manage money". At least that's sort of how it worked for me.

[^1]: This sort of contextualizes how I feel about student loan forgiveness--it's ostensibly there to help people in need, but I lived frugally and worked my way through my engineering degree to minimize the amount of loan money I needed to take out, while the overwhelming majority of my peers partied, skipped class, lived in the dorms, paid for meal plans and then ate out at restaurants all the time, and majored in unmarketable programs. They didn't work and they got money from their parents every week. I never resented them for being able to afford their lifestyle or anything, but loan forgiveness feels like it's mostly bailing out those spoiled kids in the name of helping poor kids (although I'm sure there are some poor kids who will benefit). Lots of poor kids didn't even go to school in the first place, and many who did were frugal. If this really were about helping poor kids, there are so many significantly better approaches.

And mind you, I benefit from loan forgiveness because frankly my wife was one of those spoiled kids (with lots of debt and an unmarketable degree) and we didn't pay off her loans because the interest rates were so low it was better to use the money for other investments, especially during deferment (which is why it also irks me when people refer to student loan interest rates as "predatory"--there's lots of predation in higher education, but it's not interest rates). But (and seems to blow a lot of minds) just because it benefits me doesn't make it right.

Honestly, I'm kinda surprised Apple isn't switching to USB Type-C... but only in the EU.
Companies are trying to move to wireless charging anyway, so innovation would have been expected to be in that direction, and that will not be hampered.
This is a great example of how math is generally weak at types (constantly doing implicit casts and conversions with ambiguous notation, all the way back to Liebniz notation for calculus, and probably further), and the computer scientists add clarity.

It's also an example of how "making it simpler" by dropping types (old Python, Bash, typeless vectors and matrices) ends up making it harder to get work done right when the ideas are non-trivial.
I, surprised they hadn’t changed over yet, only major manufacturer not to yet, and they went all in on USB-C on iPads and MacBooks.

I don't see that happening, and my guess is neither do they.

The nightmare scenario is that we can't even do that in time, because we're too busy arguing about it.

We're going on 2 years now and enforcement has become a complete joke.

Fat-Free might be your best bet if you really want to go with a framework, but another possibility is using libraries that will do what you want rather than a framework, e.g.:

Routing - FastRoute

Templating - rolling your own is pretty easy if you feel you have the discipline not to stuff business logic in there
