A lot of the experience is transferable even if the tools are different. The industry has adopted many opensource products that have equivalents at Google (bazle, Prometheus, Grafana, containers, etc). The strongest asset any xoogler has is likely to be bias-to-action and engineering maturity (used to having to complete work to a high standard). There is business value there for companies hiring.

I think the larger challenge is finding roles with similar comp. In some markets an L5 could expect at 50-60% comp cut (more for more senior roles).

Those large word decks can be useful though. Download deck, immediately suspend all cards, and then start un-suspending cards as you learn the words. I also add notes to the cards as I go.

I have a similar strategy for the Ultimate Geography deck. I want to know where every country is on a map, as well as their capitol and flag. So I suspended all cards, and then periodically enable 20 new ones, and learn as I go. That often means googling the location or pronunciation the first time I encounter the card.

It's not a toy passport. The right to live and work in the EU is pretty valuable for Britons who have lost it due to Brexit. Russian oligarchs pay millions each for Malta's golden passport wheeze, and Roman Abramovich suborned a corrupt Portuguese Rabbi to be declared eligible for reinstatement of Portuguese citizenship for the descendants of Jews expelled in 1492, thus making an end-run around EU sanctions imposed on him.

Doesn’t the BEAM runtime also have operational benefits over “lambdas”?

Also not every application or component thereof wants stateless servers? What about live collaboration, game servers or just generally holding stuff in memory for perf reasons.
That sounded odd to me too, but not being a native speaker, I was asking myself "is that how they call a programming language nowadays if they want to sound cool?". Guess not...
You are vastly overestimating the importance of AWS Lambda, even in web tech circles.

We're not talking about accidentally inventing a machine gun, we're talking about being cautioned about inventing a machine gun and not caring:

"Hey you're inventing a machine gun!"
"No I'm not, and even if I was, machine guns can be used for many things other than violence!"

Edit: Also, Einstein in this analogy is the one cautioning about someone being able to invent a machine gun.
Take an easy solved problem you haven't solve, and instead of looking up the solution you try to figure it out yourself. Starting with unsolved problems is too hard in most cases, you need to build up experience with how to tackle the unknown and the best way to do that is to try with known problems that you personally don't know but that you know has a simple solution.
> Some people walk out of lecture understanding the concepts clearly, whereas some need to spend hours struggling with it to get that same level of understanding.

So suppose there were three people who received the same lecture:

A's mind naturally and enthusiastically is drawn to considering the concepts discussed in class; without any conscious prompting or effort, for the pure joy of it, their brain spends a few hours in the day after the lecture chewing over the content and assimilating it.

B's mind has no such natural draw; their brain only goes over the material of consciously prompted -- but at least when this conscious review is being done, their brain dutifully considers and chews over the material.

C's mind actively dislikes the material. They have to expend willpower every moment that they're studying; and their brain is always looking for excuses and other things to do.

Now, it will appear that A has spent very little looking at the material, because they have spent no conscious study time looking at it; but in fact, if you could measure actual brain engagement time, A has spent hours and hours engaging with the material.

Similarly, it will appear that C has spent hours and hours looking at the material, because they have spent hours trying to study it. But because they're working against their brain's inclination, their brain has actually only spent a fraction of that time actually engaging with the material.

Thus it appears that A achieves mastery without practice, B achieves mastery with practice, and C fails to achieve mastery even with practice. But in fact, A has practiced the most -- driven to because of their natural interest in the subject; while C has practiced the least -- impeded by their natural aversion to the subject.

ETA: I should note this is no moral judgement on either A or C: far from it. In high school almost all subjects were interesting, and thus easy for me; when I got to university, I began to find certain subjects less interesting, the result was that I avoided taking classes in those subjects if I could.

I don't know, curation is hard. I think that 90% of what I read is average at best.

Newspapers quality has been going downhill really fast with the shift to digital first, the pressure to generate clicks and the ongoing move to video content. My few journalist friends lament that they can't do their job properly anymore. Long form is probably the last remnant of genuine quality in the field.

Aggregation platforms tend to work quite poorly. If I'm honest I mostly come to Hacker News to mindlessly waste time and because watching a virtual tally rises feels good to me. Encountering interesting and unexpected links happen but are rarely and I have a hard time remembering the last time I had a trully insightful conversation. Meanwhile, Reddit target demographic skews quite young and the time of life where I enjoyed having long winded discussions with students convinced they are experts is far behind me now.

I think there is a place for a well curated feed. They will live or die by how good it is however and the applications that came before like FlipBoard don't inspire confidence in the viability of the idea.

Ducks and brutality aside, it's obviously best to comply as you're getting arrested. If wrongful arrest, sort out later as it's all recorded.

"Give me your hands," they shouted. He refused. "Lay down on your stomach!" Again he refuses, argues, struggles, breaks free and runs off. No punches had been thrown at this point. Education is needed on how to behave if you ever get detained.

All he had to do was comply with the initial instructions, and he'd be alive today. Same with Floyd who refused to get in the car when repeatedly ordered to. The police brutality comes after the sheer stupidity of these suspects who decide that getting arrested is not for them.
…and? Of course everybody does whatever they can get away with.

I have zero shame about it so I might as well confess: I have no bloody idea how to use Teams with more than one organisation. I just set up a VM for each one. I am smart enough to automate a minimal install (the bar for that is pretty low, if we're being honest) but apparently not smart enough to use Teams.

It's beyond hilarious, two out of three times I end up in the wrong lobby with the wrong people and the wrong account despite doing the exact same thing, based on following the exact same guides on the Internet.

Unless you're using it on your domain-enrolled work computer (which, to be fair, is probably the demographics Microsoft cares about) Teams is basically chatroulette.
This has it backwards - lambda is only suitable for the cloud equivalent of shell scripts, anything more complex and it becomes an unmaintainable rats nest that cannot be debugged.
First of all, congrats on getting to 30k/m. More than many startups achieve :)

Since you have already got users, you need to talk to them:

- How did they find your? What did they search for?
- What problem are they trying to solve?

Would any of them give testimonials? Social proof is increasingly important, even in B2B markets.

Most marketing is a long game. For B2B content marketing LinkedIn is the place to be at the moment. Engage regularly and post regularly as well. This is a lot of work and takes at least 3-6 months till you see first results depending on how aggressive you are.
Wait a bit, it does that for a couple of minutes sometimes.

If you couldn't piece it together, I'm tolerating living here for things other than the sake of my enjoyment...

> within ¼ mile of a Muni stop

So is that why half of your bus lines make so many stops that they're practically unusable?

Most of your comment is about detailed improvements and rationale behind that system... I'm not a transportation planner: instead I just look at the reality that getting 2.6 miles from my neighborhood by the Panhandle to the Mission is a 15 minute drive, but a 35 minute bus ride that takes 24 stops.

And it's not that's some unusual thing, I shared the example above, that Marina District to Financial District goes from a 30 minute with ~3 miles of transit a 40 minute ride ~7 mile ride across half the city to skirt around car traffic.

-

That's what indicates to me that this city needs more BRT lines: Interruptions are one thing, but you're not going to find yourself needing to travel halfway across most major cities in the wrong direction because traffic messes up the direct route every single day

> I think you're conflating New York with most major cities here. Even the London and Tokyo metros don't run 24x7. Most cities, big or small, tend to shut down at night. New York is very much an outlier.

I think you're misreading the comment: The point is that for most major cities "at 3 am you expect a most things to be closed" is a such an obvious concept. But here in SF 10 pm might as well be "3 am".

From my experience you don't necessarily need to use a third party VoIP provider unless you need coexistence with your existing phone system.

My team have an allocated Microsoft provided number which is allocated via the Teams admin centre which is easy to manage and we can just order more numbers if required.

I was honestly questioning whether there was something wrong with the wiring in my house that was causing this (after having multiple MacBooks with the same issue), because the alternative that a company of Apple’s size had such a basic issue seemed so unlikely.
It is not directly linked. Both are linked to employment (sozialversicherungspflichtig, what atrue German word) which gives you health insurance, social security, unemployment and retirement. Lower salary ranges give you health insurance, but sometimes not unemployment or social security (not sure about the latter without looking it up), while freelancing or being a GM at a company (your own or someone elses) can come without retirement or unemoloyment benefits. Except some extreme edge cases, there is no way to be not health insured in Germany. There are multiple ways to not have unemployment, social security or retirement benefits. The prudent path here is to either contribute voluntarily (expensive with the exception of unemployment) or pick privtar alternatives. None of that so is connected to citizenship so.

Anecdotally, this rings true.

However, I also wanted to point out that "Distinguished SWE" != "IC". There are plenty of L8/L9 Google employees who are on technical ladders but whose jobs are mainly -- or solely -- about people management. Those people have Principal/Distinguished X as their title.

This was very common in the olden days and remains true for long-tenured employees. Google's been moving away from this model by requiring that employees move onto a management ladder once their job is mainly about people management. However, I doubt anyone would want to piss off all those Principal and Distinguished SWEs/RSes by forcing them onto a different ladder and replacing their titles.
The argument wasn't "Doing something bad is fine because others are", it's "You're trying to stop a bad thing happening by stopping some people upstream from doing something that's perfectly fine. That's going to be ineffective."

But you're right about me not putting a lot of thought. I didn't think this would need more arguing than that.

I still believe that tech is fundamentally neutral, and as such so is its development. Even if a developer intends to give it bad use, the use and development are separate questions.
> It's not an "up or out" position like L5 and down.

As an outsider to this all FAANG thing that feels wrong to me, it has always felt so.

What happens, or at least what I think happens because of this strategy, is that lots of institutional knowledge gets lots pretty fast and in an irremediable way, because many of those L4s and L5s that ended up not making it to L6, and so got the boot, knew of some parts of the "system" that no-one else did.

Unless a FAANG company only relies on L6s and higher to get a hold over that institutional knowledge over the long term, which I pretty much doubt it can happen.
Stop it Jeff...
Well, that's one way. Monitoring/surveillance cameras in hot spots in nuclear facilities are often known to have horrible fuzzy images (sometimes it's difficult to see what's being monitored).

It's an interesting question how close one would have to get for the CMOS sensor to register notably in this instance. Given the stated radiation signature of this sample it's likely one would have to get pretty close, so it may not be a useful technique.

I can't recall having read anything about smartphone CMOS sensors and radiation thresholds so I'd be interested in hearing from anyone whose knowledgeable about the matter.

I searched that FreeDos can now somehow run Windows 3.1 [0], but the article only shows it on QEMU. FreeDos might be able to boot on a USB stick [1]. As for downloads, there's WinWorldPC where you could also find 16 bit Delphi 1.x.

>The argument "it does not solve any problem I have" must be taken seriously for what it implies

I find it difficult to take it seriously because the people making it do not acknowledge any of the history that has led them to this point.

They are in a point where they can say that the architecture that underpins the web does not solve their current problems because they are building things on top of that solution.

For a lot of people the OS is a wrapper for the browser and that's it. We could reasonably say for those people the OS does not solve any of their problems, except for the fact that it exists to enable them to have a browser and go to the few places they go to.

HATEOAS doesn't solve many developer's problems in the same way because those problems are enabled by sitting on top of the solution that is HATEOAS.

Also I can't remember who it was that said it, it was back in the time when people were arguing about SOAP vs. REST which, well whatever, I think it might have been Tim Bray or Paul Prescod and they said in discussing what was needed to build a world wide network for information sharing they were predisposed to accept the arguments of the people who had actually done such a thing.
3% is the right order of magnitude and if it is +10% more than that that wouldn't make any difference. Static typing would still be twice as bad as dynamic typing when it comes to code correctness.

"What if you already know the majority of your bugs, as logged today, could be prevented by a type checker?"

You would be a very bad programmer, since the vast majority of bugs are logic bugs.

"why does C do static typing" Code performance. It needs them to effective map types to registers avaliable on the machine it's been compiled for.

Rust lifetimes are about getting C like performance without the bugs introduced by using the techniques required for C like performance. You could remove Rust lifetimes and get all the same safety, it's just the programs would run slower due to garbage collection.

"So then TypeScript. Let's assume " TypeScript is an obvious bad example since JavaScript is a very bad language since it was hacked together by browser makers over several decades. You could make a dynamic typed equivalent of TypeScript and it would have the same advantages.

"The argument for static type checking is strong" It's incredibily weak it prevents a class of bugs that only occur very rarely in dynamically typed languages (3%). By both increasing your development time by 2.5x and increasing the total number of bugs in your program by 2.5x.

You wanting to believe in static typing doesn't stop it sucking in the context of scripting languages.
Such nonsense. I wish we had a cutoff for effect size just like we have a cutoff for p value.

The effect size here is so incredibly small that this is a negative result. It shows that this doesn't matter at all to anyone, if it's even real given how marginal it is. These researchers should be ashamed for putting out such junk and selling it at something big.
