You've always been able to hire a pilot to take photos from a small plane, for much of the populated earth.

This isn't any different. Just cheaper and easier.

Nobody has any expectation of privacy from the sky, any more than they do from a public street.

Also, I'm not sure taking a single photo at some arbitrary time over the next few days is particularly useful or cost-effective for "stalking".
Using DPDK not only requires dedicating one core to it, but also very often dedicating the NIC to your app. It's also a very heavyweight and complex framework, and disables all kinds of security.

io_uring is a compromise with a lot of advantages over that, and can be configured in different ways depending on how hard you want to optimize things.
I understand that for new images but for existing images I expect them to stack multiple images into a cloud-free image, just like Google Maps does. Otherwise, at least calculate the cloud cover and discount me the money proportionally.

> a minor coordination failure across an enormous company

We are talking about the CEO announcing the firing of 5% of the workforce.

If you call that a minor coordination failure, I think there is some massive recalibration you should be doing. At that point, I think it’s unlikely we will ever find a common ground.

This is not and will never be an innocuous issue.
It’s worse than a government censorship org, because it’s all backroom pressure. It enables right-wing idiots to invent conspiracy.

That part about "write down the question" and the "what are you looking for" is a rather important part that most people ignore and just wing it.

By having that rubric down it becomes easier to make the objective choices (that can be backed up with HR). Additionally, that same question (with the same rubric) can be used by other interviewers for other candidates and overall, you would hope that the same candidates would get the same thumbs up / thumbs down evaluation no matter who asked the question or considered them.
What do you use primarily for writing integration/end-to-end tests? Do you have any specific strategies for it? I’ve been using cypress but not having a ton of success with it, it just feels like everything is permanently broken, and generating/maintaining mock data is exhausting.

He listened, but he probably doesn't care.

He uses whatever software helps him gets his job done and that's it. Software developers and enthusiats in general usually care about free software, other people not so much.

And also we can't pretend that free sotware projects like octave are not playing catch up with its commercial counterparts, it's not like hundreds of paid developers and billions of dollars getting thrown at the development of new features don't make any difference.

THIS!!

Having run small businesses in several technology industries, I cannot emphasize how much this is true.

I very well understand that pricing can be complex.

But if you cannot give me even an order of magnitude as to whether your prices are even remotely feasible for me or my customer's project, I likely don't have the time or motivation to find out.

Yes, I get it, you think your likelihood of sales is better if I talk to someone and they can pitch me on how wonderful your stuff is.

Bullshirt. Maybe one in 500 times is that true. You are wasting my time and yours.

And, no this is not a filter to weed out the small players. My small shops have done work for anything from individuals to the largest multinational corps and governments. If your product is a fit, I can get the budget. But putting in that kind of wall is just offputting.

This is very much like how the real estate industry used to treat the address of a property as a state secret, as if nothing is ever a 'drive-by', the sale will be lost if they can't talk with the customer, blah, blah, blah. Then the dam finally broke, and now they all put addresses and maps, and guess what? They save themselves tons of time because the buyers self-qualify! They check out the places themselves, and only call when it already looks like a good fit.

Sales and marketing types really can get stuck in naive wrong ideas for decades...

> But because the income distribution is such that the median income is greater than its simple arithmetic average, the median income of taxpayers who left San Francisco would probably have been around $250,000.

What? That would be extremely unusual, if true. (The long tail on the upper end is unbounded, while on the lower end income is bounded at 0. So for income, usually mean >>> median.)

Did they get mean and median reversed?

= = = = =

Edit I drew a random sample of incomes for 1,000 people (between $0 and $1 million) and used Pytorch to update these incomes to achieve mean $196,000 and median $250,000. (I also heavily penalized income < $0.)

The shape of the distribution of incomes to achieve such a feat, as one would predict, is absurd. X axis is income in $, Y axis is the number of people with that income out of 1,000. (First image.)

If instead the economist got his understanding of mean and median reversed, you get the second image, which is zero-inflated but otherwise uniform in income.

It probably depends somewhat on the religion one follows.

That said, I have always been fascinated by the fictional religion of Bokononism, which is centered around "Foma". Foma are beliefs that are acknowledged to be untrue, but which will make your life better if you believe them (or act as if you believed them) anyway. I find the metacognitive aspect intriguing.
This ignores the possibility that the scan results could be collected and uploaded at a later time, possibly obfuscated within the payload of some other benign process. I fully accept that the sum of engineering and thought by Apple is much smarter than either myself or the average security researcher, and in an adversarial situation such as this, it's far from an impossible scenario. Ultimately, with a closed source OS, we will never really know more than what Apple wants us to know.

>but who reads the edit history anyway?

Every time I look at a controversial article, and I'm unconvinced by the implicit narratives, I will look at the history, and more often than not there are interesting details lurking in the past versions.

And sometimes it's just fascinating looking at how details on a situation unrolled over time. Like for instance, go look at Jeffrey Epstein's Wikipedia history: there was an article on him preceding the publicity of his abuse.

I am under the impression right now that Wikipedia history is quite permanent unless an article is totally deleted, and that people do not prune the history of content they wish to censor. I hope it remains this way, cynically I don't think this will always be so, prove me wrong Wikipedia!
No major American city has failed at the same level as Detroit, whose population dropped from 1.85 million people in 1950 to about 630,000 today. Move over Detroit, here comes San Francisco, which lost 6.3 percent of its population between 2019 and 2021, a rate of decline larger than any two year-period in Detroit’s history and unprecedented among any major US city.

The word "app" is a bit overloaded and I really just mean a buttload of client-side JS. What you're describing there is app-like but can be easily delivered with server-render HTML with minimal client-side JS enhancements.

Cycles on (X, A) really can connect parts of A to other parts that look remote if you are forced to stay within A. This is visible in the long exact sequence; when the third map is nonzero, you have cycles in A that become boundaries when you allow chains in X.

A moving quad is really hard to hit by gun, see the yearly DARPA challenges. A racing style quad is way more nimble than any winged aircraft I have ever flown or seen. A quad tasked with knocking out an Iranian winged style drone just needs to foul the propulsion, no need to carry anything aside from some trailing weed trimmer cord or durable plastic sheet. The only practical limit on quad max altitude is the FAA/DJI control limitation which is easily bypassed on my quad. Also, all the cruise missiles style winged drones fly relatively low.

The only real challenge is getting in the flight path of said Iranian drone.

I really hope someone is working on this as we have been told that we can take out freaking airliners with cheap drones, on accident, for a long time now.
I agree. I personally find XCode absolutely bewildering.

The several times I've tried to do anything with it, I just gave up and found an alternative. My guess is that if you've been using Apple tools for years, then it makes sense, but to me it's indecipherable. The menu options don't seem to match with the GUI, resource views don't seem to match the files, random panels appear with unnecessary information, resources are needed for unclear reasons and more.

It's all very Apple, but in the worst way possible. It's like the IDE version of AppleScript - seemingly useable but based on a logic which totally escapes me.
San Francisco empowered some of the most wealthy people not only in the US currently but in all human history. When working from home became not only possible but necessary many left. Most of those who left ended up nearby in other less dense parts of the roughly eight million strong metropolitan area of which San Francisco is merely a central part.

The failure comparison context that saturates this piece is based on analysis that is mistaken about the composition and goals of urban areas. This is because this piece is not about analysis, but political slant. The Hoover Institution has a very strong agenda and beliefs that drive its actions. This is perhaps most clear in the final sentence that explains that all these problems can be changed by voting differently. This conclusion is not clear and not supported by the piece. Much of what is going on in and around San Francisco is driven by the population and commerce there over which the government has limited control.

It is difficult to make progress with complex social programs when one's agenda is preset in long static beliefs and prevents taking the situation seriously.

SkyFi is an easy-to-use mobile or desktop app that allows you to get satellite imagery of any place in the world at any given time. SkyFi is creating a marketplace for businesses and consumers alike to capture earth observation data to make better informed business decisions, capture life’s most precious memories, and more. The SkyFi App, thanks to its satellite partners, allows customers to either order a New Image, where a satellite in-orbit is ordered to capture an Area of Interest for a date in the future, or select an Existing Image from our database of hundreds of previously-captured images. The best part? This can all be done from your phone, tablet, or computer.

This is completely unwanted, I agree with the person at the top of the thread.
Yeah I can’t speak much to this I haven’t tried it so I’m not a massive authority but I can share the little I do know. I also found out about HRT through rogan and later just how widespread steroid use (estimated 1 million users in the UK according to an article in the Guardian). The reason I mention it is that there is a widely cited paper out there which basically states that testosterone is so effective that people taking extra testosterone above their base levels can do absolutely zero exercise and will still put on more muscle and gain more strength than someone taking no testosterone and training as hard as they possibly can on an optimised training plan. It’s that effective. Like I always knew it boosted performance but it wasn’t until I found out about that paper that I knew it boosted performance to quite that extent.

For steroids, Derek from More Plates, More Dates seems to be the guy everyone goes to to find out information. He has quite a bit of stuff on his site and well as his YouTube. Over the last few years there’s a class of drugs called SARMs that have emerged that seem to be generally safer than steroids as they only effect skeletal muscle tissue rather than all muscle tissue such as the heart which is what often causes many issues for steroid users. The downside is that they’re much newer so not as much research has been done on them so people don’t know yet with absolute 100% certainty that they are better in the long term but it currently looks that way.

For HRT, there is a YouTuber called Mark Lewis who is mainly an endurance athlete who speaks openly and very positively about his HRT protocol and how it helps him with his training and also helped him overcome depression. These three videos here:

https://youtu.be/U2cRVhwQP4A

https://youtu.be/hJtJOtTKuVM

https://youtu.be/qrIm9ZDBehY

It’s definitely something I will be looking into in more detail when I hit my late 30s. Like you say it’s not generally available through public health care systems and you have to go private to get it which is what Mark Lewis did, so cost is another thing that has to be taken into account. And then also the fact that once you’re on HRT, you generally have to be on it for life. With how unstable the world and supply chains are atm I’m not sure if I want to be tied down to requiring a medicine for the rest of my life unless I really have to. But thought I would mention it as something to look into as it obviously does have massive performance benefits when done properly.
You keep worming your way, distorting your initial statement. You initially stated the following:

>
Though engineering at FAANG in general is overrated. Know plenty of underperforming people at my company that ended up there. All you needed in the past is ~average IQ and willingness to grind
>

You have to be specific here, what do you mean "all you need"? Is this time to study algorithms? Because not everyone who studies algorithms, at the same rate, the same number of problems get an offer after an interview. Not only that, you're implying the interviews for other companies are exactly the same in regards to checking for IQ, which is completely laughable.

You simply assert that someone with average IQ that you know (and even underperformers) made it into FAANG, so you then broadly extrapolate, without evidence, that it means the selection criteria S for FAANG is simply a matter of if the person spends time studying and has an average IQ, and is no different than any under interviews.

Astounding.
My rule is simple: if I want to test something, I have to code it. I don't know if it's full TDD, but if it's worth testing it's worth automating. If there's some edge case where I trust the logic to Just Work, I don't test it at all.

The important thing I find that helps with the mental overhead of testing is a long script of integration tests is better than nothing. Too often "TDD" is interpreted as creating perfect isolation of unit tests on each method -- which is fantastic! But is also a lot of work.

Worse is better. If just checking in some precondition data and loading it in and then sequentially running a script of automated tests that all have side-effects that could impact the next test is your MVP for a test framework, do that! Having a suite that you have to run fully end-to-end isn't great, but it's better than nothing.

When that frustrates you, refactor it into true isolated unit test.
Why not both? That's what I do, it's very effective and nothing about one prevents the other.
Or just turn off "Siri Suggestions" in System Settings as stated in the article.
Perhaps, but I choose to read his first post as saying that the startup he works for isn't capable of giving some people a successful environment, which is often true. Broadly, I see no need to prove myself, if I choose to change employers I'll be fine.

The other thing, of course, is that small companies can afford to be extremely judicious in a way that G/M can't (for example the old thing where Netflix only hired staff-equivalents). But I ultimately agree with you (like I said!) that at that point you're basically saying Google and Microsoft contain the below average engineers only from the index of current-and-former faang employees, which is sort of trivially true.

As for grind, idk I think it's good that my coworkers are below average grind. I am too. Wlb is good. Grind is unhealthy.
If anyone can tell me what the hell I am looking at in image 37, I would be forever grateful.

>I also think that once a better hiring climate resumes, employers are more likely to go to colleges to recruit for entry level positions, and tend to overlook people who graduated several years earlier but lack relevant experience.

That's probably true. There's machinery at colleges to feed graduating seniors into the professional hiring pipeline. Someone who has been underemployed at jobs that may not be professionally relevant has far less access.
If they are innocent, then they may not deserve to go to jail.

Sounds familiar.

Back in my consultant days, we would encounter companies that wanted to be “agile”. They’d insist they were waterfall and it wasn’t working.

Truth is, if they’d actually been doing waterfall they’d have been performing far better. Instead, they were just chaos, reacting to one fire after another with no plan to get out.

Additionally, many teams were simply staffed with poor managers and poor engineers. There’s no consulting-fu or process-fu that was going to overcome that. You can’t win horse races with pack mules, my dad (a basketball coach) used to say.
