Absolutely, you'll need developers and testers.

To think you necessarily need thousands of them, though, is a stretch.

I think people have drunk the kool aid over the past decade of 'growth-driven' startup where the game was to hire as many engineers as possible as fast as possible. This is what is partially fueling the current job reduction cycle in the industry. There are simply more engineers on the payroll than needed to deliver a profitable product.
Not everything is about US :) In Europe they passed EU wide legislation, I think, around the end of 2020? Can't remember, really, and I'm too lazy too look. Either way, energy prices here were already very high in summer 2021, a full 8 months before the war in Ukraine started.

> A recruiter from Google reach out to me about an Engineering Manager position - I’ve never managed anyone in my life

There has to be a first time managing a team, no?
Some people view changing roles from IC to leader as career progression.

Maybe the recruiter saw something positive on your resume and thought: hey, this person might make a great leader and maybe they’d be interested in a next step in their career.

However, judging by your reaction, you probably aren’t / weren’t ready so win/win.
Wat? If the "ordering hotline" in this instance didn't know what to do, surely they should tell their manager? That's how it works in most businesses. Why is it suddenly different for hackable pizza stores?
Weird because that's the strongest setting used with the fewest (zero) vulnerabilities there.
what's app has e2e encryption, on all platforms including web. Which requires strong constraints on delivery ordering.

Operating on almost all native platforms, at this scale, with those constraints, isn't something i find much easier than building a feed.
that same problem has gently corralled me into mostly working on projects that are useful to me. Some lisp to make my editor do better things here, a mnemonic keychord database there. It can really help to motivate when you have a deep and intuitive understanding about why you're building x y or z thing.

The most recent thing I'm hacking on is a gui to sort through and rank stable diffusion outputs. it's not technically complex or advanced but it'll solve a problem I have so I keep coming back to it.
I love my little set of transitive dice.

You should read the linked blogposts about the "speaking with bugcrowd". (TL;DR: it took a few months and a minor social media shitstorm after they banned him for them to notice that their processes suck)

Attempting alternative contact paths in parallel is entirely valid.

> Need to write a nice email, even if they don't have "security.txt", to some manager or someone else you could contact

That's clearly what he did: contact those who he could contact. If the only contact info you publish is your support team, then your support them has to be able to handle everything people try to contact you about. So yes, it's an entirely valid expectation that the publicly provided contact for a security company can handle requests to please be directed to the security team. It's your choice as a company to not make your security team directly available, and your problem if people thus can't reach it.
Absolute gnostic horror! Interesting how ideas cycle over millennia.

The current potential exit from AI dark winter has made me go from; "the singularity is very very far away" to some rather dark philosophical extrapolations becoming relevant.

I mean if you play along with Bostroms theorising, who's to say we, or I am not living in some "trickster god" reality.

Lol. That's the only answer to that question.
That depends. In math, you can say a function f(x) has “one zero” if there exists some element z in the relevant domain such that f(x) = 0 iff x = z. Since z is arbitrary, you can even have the value of z be nonzero. So, “a zero,” in fact, need not actually be 0, and, one can speak of “the zeros of f, so there may be more than “one zero,” none of which are actually 0.
Yes, 55 employees iirc. I don't think it was 'surprisingly small', though. It's just that cash-rich startups have had the habit of hiring as much as they could instead of hiring the minimum required, which is actually the sensible way to manage a company.
I have the same question, but with a catch: how to move the other way without halving your income?
I think ultrasound already has replaced the stethoscope in the ED. ED physicians in the US basically all get pretty extensive training with POCUS. I truly love and practice the physical exam, but even in my 30s feel like some kind of dinosaur in this respect. I've written letters of profound gratitude to my ultrasound director, as probably the most impactful training in preparation for my rural practice.

I have literally never had an inpatient colleague -- from rural to academics -- admit a patient for eg pneumonia without an X-ray, no matter how young and otherwise healthy or how convincingly the history and vitals match my carefully documented auscultation, egophony, and percussion. It's a waste of everyone's time to even try. As a result, many of my colleagues skip the middle man and don't bother with much exam. Some don't even bring a stethoscope to work anymore.

Which makes me sad.
I think the lesson is "stop asking for permission and just do want is right". It's rare that a manager needs to approve a PR - would be a culture smell for me in an org.
My story time! Shortened tho..

In mid 2010s I was fresh college dropout with little perspective in life but had lots of self-thought skills in general IT field.
Worked odd jobs as a student, labor jobs, fixing computers on a side, being jack of all trades but master at none.
Then decided to emigrate from my southern European country into NW Europe.
Within two weeks I got entry position in major cloud provider, a job I was dreaming to get in a span of 5-10 years, but there I was.
9 years later I am managing couple of said cloud provider facilities, have direct reports under me, and my current life is unimaginable compared to where I was ten years ago.
Every single year since I emigrated was substantially better than previous one. There was a promo or at least solid salary increase every 12 months, did some side moves to different teams and eventually navigated to what I am and have at this moment.
Imposter syndrome still kicks in from time to time and kicks hard, but that's something I need to live with. Lack of college degree doesn't help a single bit

> A rocket, like s Javelin or an NLAW, apparently moves fast enough to hit s tank or an APC. You don't necessarily need much-much faster, but it's important to pack a punch.

that's also what I thought but it doesn't seem to work that way. For the NLAW at least, all the missile does it to position the explosive charge above the tank. The missile doesn't hit the tank from the side, so the kinetic energy isn't contributing to the destruction.

So from a logical point of view, I assume you could position the same warhead with a slow moving consumer drone and get the same result.

Chrome Dev Summit 2018: https://youtu.be/AB9qSUhlxh8?t=754
I agree that he really dropped the ball (I moved to nostr because of him not allowing links to nostr). I think it was because he lost tens of billions of dollars because of the amount of leverage he had, the market downturn, and advertisers dropping so much because of the political uncertainty that Elon brought (advertisers are risk averse by default).

I think all of us have an idea of what social media should be compared to what it is now (looking at what my friends and people I'm interested in it are doing), but it's not compatible with the amount of advertising revenue that needs to be generated to justify a $40B valuation.

There's a deep conflict between the value provided to the users and the value created to advertisers, and Elon highly underestimated that conflict, so now he's (and Tesla investors are) paying the price.
The app I'd like to install is Chrome. The iPhone is only for testing. It doesn't leave the house and I don't use it as a personal device so there isn't really anything to protect on it.

Maybe I'm being unnecessarily stubborn, but I don't with to sign in with Apple ID on it.

I don't think Chrome would be region locked.

> Also, it’d be easy to ruin someone’s life by downloading

That could be restricted by requiring the user sign in with their device unlock credentials. I don't see how requiring the device be associated with online Apple ID helps protect you. After all, if someone malicious got their hands on the phone and wished to install something contraversial they could create and sign into a throw away Apple ID.

It's not going to disappear overnight, but you can see the cracks. The 2fa went down in multiple countries for hours, Oz and NZ lost access for almost a day, people reported "looping" timelines of the same 7 tweets, notification issues, and some other things I already forgot. Sure, they're up, but things are not 100% ok. The number of broken things is not even close to what we've experienced in the last few years - this was an extremely reliable service before.
That's so cool. It's stories like yours that kept me going when I started to question my sanity.
>> Someone is is genuinely mentally unwell in a way that results in them harming other people must still be kept away from society!

> That is extremely poor and dangerous argument for putting them in jail in bad evidence.

Who made that argument?

Here's what I said:

>> the sanity/insanity of an individual makes no difference to whether they are guilty or not, it only changes the specific nature of the charge (i.e. premeditated vs culpable) and the sentencing (asylum or prison). Someone is is genuinely mentally unwell in a way that results in them harming other people must still be kept away from society!

Why on earth would you snip away my text about ASYLUM, and instead warble on about putting those people in JAIL?

I'm genuinely curious about the motivation to pretend that my argument is different to what I said, and then argue against your pretend version of my argument.

Genuinely curious.
There's a lot of WASM in GUID-named binary blobs though (most of those have one JS file and one WASM file included, some only a JS file).

Does three.js make heavy use of WASM and bundle them in blobs with GUID names?

PS: yes it appears to be three.js, looking at other three.js demos they also have those blobs with one JS and one WASM file in them. I'm surprised three.js uses so much WASM!
Good article. I stand corrected.
There’s definitely something going on, in non-English it sometimes emits words which don’t exist in any dictionary and are used by absolutely noone, but they’re based on existing words and convey correct meaning (humans understand and are able to say which existing word should be used instead).

It's a tip of the iceberg. The part you see - the UI - is a small part, the complexity is in the backend (advertising/marketing tools, content moderation, metrics, devops etc).

Musk being the archetypal Mr First Principles Guy, he probably thought just the same: "it's a simple webapp, how hard can it be?"
I think some of this boils down to people who are lonely and want some form of connection. -And, there be a good percentage of people in tech, especially in 'visionary' companies that feel some for of identity fusion between they life they spend in their startups and the product the produced. It's unhealthy.
Oh but the help you'll get.

I'd recommend avoiding talkspace.

And for the love of god, if a therapist isn't working for you within 3 sessions, For fucks sake don't "stick it out".

You're worth it. Get the help you deserve, not what the system is willing to give you on it's first try.

There's nothing worse than a therapist that you know isn't listening to you, and you keep going, because your actual problem is that you can't tell the difference between what's your fault and what's not.

And they never let you or helped you get there.

And you could see it. And you knew that was your fault.

So you didn't say anything.

And besides, you were a rich tech bro, he was employed on a gig platform. He's more economically dependent, ergo he deserves help, ergo I'll stick with him and try to be an easy client.

This is the product of a diseased mind that can't fucking stand up for itself.

So. Fuck TalkSpace.

And whoever reads this. Yes. Find someone else. It's not your responsibility to stick with a therapist that isn't working for you.

If you've gone through five therapists, maybe you're the problem, I don't know. Then open that box.

But you have _my_ permission, to go through five therapists before asking yourself that question.

You also have my permission to ignore that, and believe that you can go through any number of therapists.

I affirm your right to choose.

Despite all of these reasons, it still strikes me as incredible, and that labs wouldn't try to create a customer-oriented sales process. Where I live, in my country, anyone at all can go and get any number of lab tests for any reason they please at very competitive prices that are widely advertised. Doctors also often prescribe tests, but you go get them yourself from a commercial provider and don't need to prove any doctor prescription for them. Overall, it's great simply because the pricing is low through competition and getting a professional lab test done is very quick and easy.
I think it was during the Depression that there was a campaign by the national association of traveling salesmen to eliminate tipping. There must be studies on why that failed.
Could also be for IP reasons. There are legal technicalities that I don't pretend to understand: One contract I worked on required the work to be performed in a specific Canton in Switzerland. Once the work laptops had IP on them, the machines were not allowed out of that Canton. Had something to do with international IP law that was never clear to me.

At most they would refer you elsewhere, but most probably they would kindly ask you contact someone else so they can serve people looking to order pizzas. They get prank calls and all sorts of nonsense. They get customers asking all kinds of weird questions constantly, and they can't distinguish them from Mr important security researcher here that's not even a customer. They will just get confused, return an automated reply and move on to next request because they are paying them to handle bulk requests. They are not meant to escalate to manager, it's literally their job not to do it. And their manager is just another customer support person.
That code is buggy. It also counts how often each die beats or losses from itself, and that happens more often for the 222555 (9/36 win, 9/36 loss, 18/36 tie) die than for the other two (5/36 win, 5/36 loss, 26/36 tie)

Working for Google is not the goal for all developers.

I personally know enough who are or have been employed there to know that the gauntlet to get hired is stressful enough and unlikely enough for a skilled developer to get through that I'm not sure I would even ever give it a go.

From those same personal connections, there have plenty of stories about feeling like a tiny insignifican cog in a giant soulless machine (which any giant company like this would be) that I wouldn't want to work there. Let it also be said I have heard great things from individuals working at Google (it is a large enough workplace that any kind of situation will be found there).

It just doesn't sound like the place for me.

My perfect employer would be a software development company, focusing on a product or product range, with product market fit and an actually profitable, with hopefully no more than 300 employees (not gotten too big).
I would hope that Google has more sense than to hire someone as an EM with absolutely no management experience and no experience working at any large company. They would have never hired me. It’s more speaking to recruiters than the hiring practices.

Besides my LinkedIn profile where I was reached out at is purposefully sparse.
For those wanting a short dip into this feeling should look into the chapter titled "Abstract War" of that book.
Yes, the language that Typescript emits is Javascript. I can write Python code that emits Javascript, but that doesn't make Python, itself, Javascript.

Languages can be structurally or idiomatically similar but still not be the same language. And there are more differences between Javascript and Typescript than just the type annotations (although that, alone, would be sufficient.) Typescript has generics, ffs.
