How do you measure how much MS Teams sucks compared to Slack? All the CTO knows is that they have an enterprise license for Office along with Teams and the salesperson they talked to showed them how great it integrates with the rest of the suite.

In the EHR space, all the CMO (chief medical officer) cares about is it helps keep them in compliance. Why should they care if it’s hard for their office staff to use?
It's not possible to build a car that strong under Nascar rules. The cars are mostly standardized with only minor differences allowed between teams.

The gig economy boosts GDP. If I work as an employee, I am just an expense to a company. If I setup an S corporation and contract my services to that same company, I am now growing the services sector and increasing GDP. I am still doing the same amount of work but just increasing transactions. I seem to be incentivized by pay and taxes to work as contractor, and this may be because the government is trying to pump GDP.

Overfitted to what? If the whole point of economics in a moral sense is to get people more value, than what does the question of if person A will buy item 1 at a higher price than person B for item 2 for better or worse reasons get the average person/company except for a distraction from their goal? Make item 1, sell it to person A, and go enjoy your more prosperity than you would have gotten for selling item 2 to person B. This proposal needs to be much more concrete to mean anything.
The speech in your link sounds very different stylistically from the speech in the parent comment. In my opinion, the one in the parent comment doesn't sound like it was extemporaneous.
Wow this is beautiful. I love it when a complicated process can be simplified into such logical steps, that you know work in isolation, so you know the strategy will also work overall. Thx for sharing!
It's funny to argue on one hand that GDP is broken because it tracks only economic metrics and not social ones, and then push another index (GPI) which claims that "genuine progress" peaked in the 70s and went only downhill from there.

If "back in my day..." was an index this would be it.
Entertainment is positive value ("I want to watch/play/whatever this because I enjoy it"), healthcare is compensation for negative value ("I got injured and want to feel a little less shit"). Nobody goes to the doctor just because they felt like doing it that day.

Counting the positive contribution of healthcare without counting the negative contributions of the injuries that lead people to seek healthcare is going to lead to a metric that looks better the more injuries there are!
Where are the politicians today who can quote Aeschylus at will? What happened to our national discourse that we’ve filled it with dimwits?
>The downside of employee protections is that it makes companies more reluctant to hire. And also once hired, the salary to be offered is reduced to cover the estimated current value of the future employee protections.

Yep, that why software engineers in California and New York, where there are a lot of employee protections, don't get paid as much as SWEs in the Midwest or the South, where there are less... Right?

Or maybe the real economy is more complex than the kiddie models you were taught in Econ 101?
I've found most elucidation come out of labs and practical work.

I learned a lot about FIR filters by trying to do room audio correction on my own. That was where the latency tradeoff made itself apparent to me in a very obvious way.

Reading it in a textbook is one thing, seeing/hearing live signals pass through your own filters is another. I think audio lends itself better to experimentation. You can actually construct passive filters and validate your assumptions with live equipment and not spend a dime. You likely already have all of the required gear in your office, short of some spare inductors, capacitors, etc.

Image DSP work can be done entirely on a MacBook on an airplane, but I have personally found the added dimensionality to be less intuitive than with a time-domain signal.
I'm sorry, I really did try to read your link. But I laughed too much at this:

Anyone can spew unfiltered thoughts. It's the refinement of the editorial process that distills those into something valuable.
Listen, it's fine to have outside engineers audit the source code of a newly acquired company, but literally requiring them to print out their code is insane. It is entirely possible that the article was wrong about that point and he just asked for access to their github repos or something, but if it's true it points to incompetent leadership on a truly impressive scale.
By definition, the monetary value of something is what people are willing to pay for it.

To use an ecological analogy, it's about as meaningul as the gross biological productivity of an ecosystem, which in the vast majority of systems means the amount of carbon converted to biomass by plant photosynthesis.

However this tells you very little about the health of the system - it could mean a river choked with invasive weeds and toxic algal blooms, or it could mean a river full of insects fed on by trout that local humans harvest regularly as a local source of protein.

Additionally, some ecosystems (like deserts) have low gross productivity, but as deserts go, are healthy ecosystems that just support less life than tropical rainforests do.

Hence, you just need a lot of other numbers besides GDP to make sense of how an economic system is doing overall. Proably about a dozen at least, but that's too many for simplistic propaganda and click-bait headline purposes.

I am! I do love my job. I’d say seeking out a job that lets you go to conferences is absolutely worth it - they are invigorating and keep me engaged in my career.

Alternatively, many employers are surprisingly open to paying for conferences if you can demonstrate the value - for example, explaining how it will help you grow in your career or how it would help you find something useful for your (e.g. new technology or business process). Looking for local conferences reduces the cost a lot and makes it more palatable.
The article is garbage. It just throws lots of things at the wall.
> Precedent is when there's case law backing something.

No, you're thinking of a restricted version of the second definition from Merriam-Webster, while it was clearly the first definition that was meant.

precedent. noun

1. an earlier occurrence of something similar

2. a : something done or said that may serve as an example or rule to authorize or justify a subsequent act of the same or an analogous kind a verdict that had no precedent
b : the convention established by such a precedent or by long practice

> A relatively unknown company that isn't posting salary info is kind of a red flag

I feel like I'm living in an alternate reality than others in this thread. Even in tech I've had to put in a ton of legwork to find salary estimates for jobs and often the data was very incomplete. Combine the weirdness with roles/titles that companies can have, how do you search for salary info for "assistant to the guru of front-end"? Am I a devops engineer, SWE.Is there different pay for being on-call?

Not to mention it being even worse for everyone I've talked to that doesn't work in tech. Basically everyone I know has gotten the best salary info from the source, during the interview process.

In the rare exceptions, they are actively looking to leave their current job and are worried about cash-flow or even more extenuating circumstances like deciding whether or not to change careers.

I've _never_ seen a company offer salary information (numbers) in the job listing unless it was explicitly required by law (CO, soon to be CA and NYC, government jobs, etc).
“Cross-continental” reach but the world is a smaller place. Rumors and lies spreading like wildfire through the populace have caused major countrywide social unrest and even revolts in the past.

They spread just as far, just more slowly, because you couldn’t get it all directly from the same person instantly. The government reaction also therefore took longer. But this factor for obvious reasons made “misinformation” worse!

So no, this is still not substantively different. The primary difference is still that we are returning to the way things were before broadcast media controlled by a small number of people. Unless they can stop it.
Very strong agreement on that. I'm hoping that this is changing, especially with younger generations having less financial margin to soak up the cost of private vehicles. The amount of money we spend trying to indulge that 1940s commuter dream is unsustainable.

I would propose that part of the loss of productivity is the lack of staying power in employees. Employees are getting trained working a year or two and then moving on to something else.

The efficiencies derived by working 10-20 years in the same field and even the same position are lost with the modern workforce that barely gets trained to competency before leaving let alone staying long enough to build true efficiency and thus greater productivity.
You could even put two little extra wheels on the door handles...
I'm glad to see Darin working solely on the browser, and excited to see him in the SWE role!

When I was working on Chrome I had a strange leftover 1:1 with him (was a VP at that point.) He always impressed me with the deep understanding of the Chromium code stack and he did unblock my work as a SWE with that - An example: At at time I was struggling with an extra latency some callback incurred. He rightly pointed out that the other one (that backs the JS microtask) had smaller latency...and that was right! My problem was solved, by a VP, in the code!

Clearly he was wasting his time as a high-level manager, but I loved that fact. And that's why I cannot help but cheer this move.
There is no enough workers

> Arc, which has been in an invite-only beta for more than a year, is trying to rethink the whole browser UI

no one is ever going to dethrone chrome unless they start selling hardware filled with their crapware at a loss solely to suck ppl into the ecosystem and/or start giving away laptops as fast as possible for the same reasons

&

no one is ever going to compete with firefox or brave on UI alone, because the ppl that have the wherewithal to move away from the edge and chrome apps that are thrust upon them with every hardware purchase, care more about if your shit is secure and privacy respecting than if your 'tabs are on the left' :|

As a New Zealander, I can say that the one thing NZ does really well is marketing, both externally to foreigners and internally to our own citizens. While it is true that NZers love getting out in nature, when it comes to protecting it we're frankly pretty terrible (see here: https://interactives.stuff.co.nz/2021/this-is-how-it-ends-ex...). We have the highest proportion of threatened native species in the world, our fishing industry is out of control, and intensive agriculture is destroying our natural environment (65% of our rivers are considered unswimmable). Our climate record is appalling and not getting much better (see: https://climateactiontracker.org/countries/new-zealand). Jacinda Ardern gets a lot of press for her climate-friendly rhetoric, but the fact is that the UK under Boris Johnson did immeasurably better on climate action than we have under her.

Our ruling Labour party (supposedly-but-not-really left-ish) does talk a lot about wellbeing budgets, but both our major parties are stuck in a neo-liberal trap where they refuse to allow national debt to get over 30% of GDP (crazy low by international standards), and also refuse to allow the tax ratio to get over that figure. This has meant that all our public services have been systematically underfunded for three decades, which has had a terrible impact on our poor. We like to smugly think that our Aussie neighbours are run by a bunch of knuckle-dragging troglodytes, but they have a vastly fairer tax system (see: https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/07-09-2022/lets-copy-and-p...) and welfare system. The British High Commissioner recently said it very well (see: https://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/climate-news/300178615/o...): "You have Scandinavian ambitions in terms of quality of life and public services, but a US attitude to tax. The brand 100% Pure New Zealand lulled many into a false sense of security, when the environmental reality is far more challenging". Add to that the least affordable housing in the developed world (which politicians of all stripes refuse to touch), and the wellbeing of our less well-off is in a terrible state. If you are lucky enough to own a house, and have some money, you can live in a little bubble and pretend it's not happening to others here, but sadly you would be mistaken. God forbid you might need some of the dustier corners of the health or education systems, like having a kid with special needs.

Is this happening everywhere? Yes, it is, but I think there's a general perception that New Zealand is somehow better than a lot of other places, when in a lot of concrete, tangible, measurable ways it's actually significantly worse than most countries that we would like to compare ourselves to. I would struggle to recommend NZ as a place to move to for expats.

GNP and GDP are very close measures. If people spend a few minutes reading instead of trying their hardest to comment first with what little knowledge of economics they have rattling around their skull, they’d know that GNP does not make any sense in the modern economy.

It’s a business expense that you can deduct, no different than if you were renting it.

Net income = rent - expenses

If it’s not rented out you can still deduct the expense, and if negative you might be able to carry the loss forward.

But it's crappy because you have no rent to make up for the expense, so you're still losing money, just less than the full rent.

It's not like it's some magic trick or some perk landlord's get that magically gives them free money.

Today a yuppie can get off an airplane, demand Google maps tell them where the overpriced cocktail bars are, demand Uber take them there, demand the locals speak English, and demand an overpriced pretentious Old Fashioned.

No knowledge of local culture, customs, knowledge, etc needed in any city in the world. The exact same hollow experience over and over again. And yet these people pat themselves on the back for it. They instagram every moment of this manufactured and repetitive experience.

We're losing a lot of culture with globalization. A lot of what makes the different places in the world unique.
Yes of course! What works for one group of developers might not work for another group of developers. The projects and experience levels in this industry are too varied to make one-size-fits-all work.

So any practice/idiom that doesn’t carefully spell out the context in which it works should be ignored or at least treated with caution.

And any developer who makes claims about X being “always best practice” or “always best solution” are basically self-identifying as inexperienced/arrogant/not-smart/treat with caution.
> Go ask your team lead/CEO/CTO how recruiting works.

The point of laws such as these is to change how recruitment works. The fact that the hiring manager/person will offer more to a 6'4" person from their alma mater[1] more than a random person of average height with the same skillset is problematic - even if it is "how recruiting works"

Having read through the email exchanges linked elsewhere in this thread, I don't think the issue is with having to explain what changes do. There appears to be 2 main conflicts in the thread. One is a reviewer who appears to not be taking a large picture view of the patches. It appears multiple points of concern for them are addressed, answered or given relevant context either just a few lines up or down, or in a different part of the file. The frustration here appears to be not that things have to be explained, but that little to no effort was put into understanding it at all. This I think was compounded by the fact that the reviewer appeared to reject multiple suggested revisions while not providing any context for what they're actually looking for, and when the reviewer did make a suggestion, their suggestions apparently weren't even valid C code.

The second conflict appears to have occurred around a dispute over the logical organization of the changes, and how they would be called and where the code would live. In this case, it appears the Asahi people organized it in a way that made sense based on their understanding of the hardware in question, the current structure of the code, and in a way that other parts were already laid out. A different reviewer objected to this layout, noting that while they had indeed followed the model of some other code, that was wrong and apparently shouldn't have been there in the first place. Again there appears to have been an amount of back and forth that was ultimately a series of rejections on proposed alternates without any real explanation of what they were looking for and why they thought given the hardware design, this layout didn't make sense. This argument included a directive from the reviewer to just do it "proper" without (to my reading) any real guidance to what "proper" would look like given nature of what is being submitted.

While I appreciate that reviewers don't necessarily have all the context and will be asking questions, sometimes on stuff that is answered within the file, I would certainly expect them to not return a review that is almost entirely answered by context within the file. I would equally expect that if they are going to suggest I do something a different way, that suggestion should be valid code, or at least pseudo code that can be made valid. I would honestly also expect a review to include some feedback on what the reviewer would like when the disagreements are about logical organization or coding choices that fall outside the documented code style requirements.

Isn’t the better question “what should Meta employees do?”

Shareholders have zero power given the corporate structure. Employees can leave to greener pastures and leave Zuckerberg to wallow with the B-players that are only in it for the paycheck. How many A-players want to tilt at windmills with him?
> I don't usually go in for conspiracy theories, but this one seems pretty clear-cut

Ouch, this petard with which I have been hoisted is chafing awfully...

The commenters who suggested reviewing my privacy settings were on the right track. At some point (most likely several years ago) I set everything to ‘Contacts Only’. Then, when I migrated to Signal as my primary messaging app I denied the WhatsApp app all permissions, including access to my Contacts. As anyone who has tried to use WhatsApp without letting it slurp everything can attest, the app then goes out of its way to be a pain in the ass, such as by showing all chat participants as phone numbers (even when the person has set their own name) and refusing to let you message anybody new.

So it looks like WhatsApp decided that as nobody was my contact any more, nobody got to see my profile picture and ‘About’ text. I've now changed my privacy settings and can confirm that they are both appearing for others again.

Conservatism, by definition, opposes change. It disapproves of new ideas and philosophical innovation in favour of tradition.

Universities have always been hotbeds for change, research, vanguard and protest against the standard. I'm not surprised there's so little conservatism there; it's an environment that attracts open-mindedness, not people who shy away from deep analytical reconsideration. For the latter, there's churches.
I think it's to the benefit of the vast majority of job seekers, reducing the economic power imbalance between employer and employee, and I'd personally consider that a worthwhile reason to pass a law in and of itself. In addition, I suspect it's also to the benefit of most employers, many of which are not actually large enough to squeeze any appreciable benefit out of salary secrecy but who would gain from having more information about labor prices.

To put it more simply: the socialist in me thinks it's good for workers -- the liberal in me thinks it's good for fairer competition in the labor market. Win-win.
