What is the basis for this assertion? Is this why OPEC exists?

Is that why in 2010 Department Of Justice had to step in to break up a wage suppression cartel between Adobe, Apple Inc., Google, Intel, Intuit, Pixar, Lucasfilm and eBay

If it wasn't fpr the force of law, they would happily cooperate to drive you into poverty.
Allowing a dominant OS to foist a bad browser on all of us is not a good way to prevent a dominant internet search company from potentially foisting a bad browser on all of us.

I think his point was that it's the job that you signed up for, so either do the job, or don't work there.

> You can "well that's your job" all day long, and you're technically correct, but you're ...wrong.

Working for minimum wage wasn't part of the contract you signed ("your job"), so your example isn't valid.
While I agree with the general dynamic of what you're saying, you're also referencing a lot of the advertising bullet points that are used to confuse consumers to sell crap. Like there's very little point to worrying about a 3 year warranty that you'll have to beg the company to send a service person out for, for an item that is expected to last 10-20 years (like say a TV or appliances).

Also the point of opting for media self-ownership (which may include piracy) isn't to save money on subscription services, but rather to avoid the inevitable rug pulls and other backstabbing down the line. All these articles about Netflix clamping down on account sharing are only relevant if you've bought into their zero sum world. I understand that's where pop culture is these days, but it's unfortunate that the tech community, who should know better, treats it as if it's anything more than a passing fad.

I'm guessing fake foods overloaded with preservatives... much like with increased oxidative stress in general.

edit:

noting: "There’s mounting evidence linking an unhealthy diet—in particular, one high in processed meat and fat, and low in fruits and vegetables—to early-onset colorectal cancer."

Sounds like it's the meat/fat/cholesterol myth 2.0 ... Not that I'm massively in favor of overly processed meat... but the body needs fat... we're still suffering from the hormone production issues a half century of disinformation on dietary fat has lead to... and the heart disease over a century of processed fats in unnatural ratios has lead to.

Fruits and Vegetables are not naturally available year-round, anywhere. If you want to choose to be vegetarian, cool... but to assume it's meat (part what makes us human for many millenia) and not the processed "foods" that didn't even exist 150 years ago is just absurd.
Right, that's what I thought, but wouldn't it be very short for chemistry? At least, to make any kind of chemical observation/experiment? Am I wrong?

EDIT: Also I think it's "microsecond" as opposed to "millisecond" right?

> I wish I could just explain to ChatGPT what I need copied and pasted from one document to another or what needs to be filled out.

Recently, in a conversation with ChatGPT, I gave him a system administration task and told him I was a Linux terminal running bash and I would paste and execute everything he told me into the shell (and respond with the output). It worked okay – I wouldn't recommend it for production use yet – but I think, with future iterations of language transformer models, interfaces like the one you're describing as well as others (AI <> terminal, AI <> X Server, AI <> speakers/microphone) and combinations thereof stand a very good chance of becoming integral to our daily work.
> If coding is beneath you, working in software is beyond you.

> ICs do not need managers, managers need ICs.

Given the level of infantilisation at meta, and big tech in general, I think this is clearly not the case. "self management" (ie bottoms up management) stopped working at meta many many years ago.

> Some managers have negative productivity.

So do a lot of ICs "I'm rewriting x in NEW_LANGUAGE because its faster" & "just read the code, that's where all the answers are" & "no you're doing it wrong, just re-write this major system to make it do something completely different because I've not taken the time to listen to your problem" Meta is a massive pile of "not invented here" tech debt, that was half arsed for impacc and then abandoned. Most of that is IC ill disciplined "oh but I'm BORED I'm going to make a new x".

Don't get me wrong. I've had some complete bellends of managers, but that's not a function of them being a manager, that's a function of no training and ineffective performance management.

Writing code is easy,

Writing good code is not so easy

Reusing other people's code is hard

Making an entire company reuse code is fucking difficult.

Getting prima-donnas to document code so that other people can use it quickly, super fucking difficult.

Managing programmers so they don't start gnawing at the furniture, rebuild everything every six months, wank over the interns and getting them produce a viable product, one that they can't/don't/wont use is top level hard. It's something I don't want to do.

Dude, I'm living in my office working on this stuff 24/7. I quit my $400k/yr TC job because I believe in this stuff so strongly. You have no idea the wave of disruption coming. I'm seeing fundamental breakthroughs every single day. AI Twitter is simultaneously incredible and haunting.

So many people are sleeping on something bigger than the internet itself. This is huge. Pay attention.

Google should be scared to death. They're in a precarious position and ripe for disruption. Even adapting to the new world order puts their primary revenue stream at risk.

Think about it and then think about how you might be able to take advantage of this. Fortunes unlike any before are about to be made.

FWIW ECS supports rolling updated for docker compose deployments: https://docs.docker.com/cloud/ecs-integration/#rolling-updat...
Empire building was a major problem at a local company I worked for.

They got around it by setting up multiple reporting chains and co-managers. If you were a manager at a certain level and you worked with certain departments, you got to say that all of the people in that department "reported to" you.

It created a laughable situation where there were only a few thousand people in the company, but I knew several dozen managers who had 200-400 people "reporting" to them. Individuals could technically "report to" a dozen managers, though they may never interact with those managers.

They all proudly display their number of reports on their LinkedIn profiles.

I feel like this is a pretty naive take.

For all the companies like Zoom and Shopify claiming they thought the COVID gravy train would never end, there was never a chance of that. But they hired as if that was the reality because because of the asymmetry: Your output is .000001% of what the company needs to function.

Meanwhile even if you're saving 50% of your pay and living on the other 50%, that's many orders of magnitude more need

-

So yes, either side can walk away tomorrow morning, but who's more likely to be hurt? Definitely not the company, so there's no real punishment for overhiring knowing you'll need to fire.

If anything you get rewarded by the market: If company A hires in a sustainable way that can weather headwinds (believe it or not, this used to be somewhat common) and company B goes full "feast or famine", the market rewards B for their growth, then rewards B when they lay off a bunch of people. Meanwhile A is punished for limiting growth, and not really rewarded for not having fired people, since valuations are bad at capturing nuanced ideas like "B just fired their best minds, while A has cultivated an effective workforce" (just check out Zoom's ticker today)

> No, I think most of these are usually part of the job of a software engineer, and it's part of developing solutions that work, rather than just gaming individual metrics.

If you speak to people who work in trading or finance, they do none of those things. They view each other as conpetitors and don't help each other. They aim to outgame and outdo each-other.

The culture in software is very different to most other industries. But if you look at other fields of engineering, you don't see people stepping outside their roles as much.
Not ideal but kind of understandable in my opinion, sourcing a nice microdisplay is hard without connections, and possibly some investment.

I’m not sure if that’s true. 1 dev manager for 10 engineers might be tough. The sheer number of 1:1s would be insane, much less keeping track of the career trajectory of 10 different people at 10 different parts of their lives. I guess this would be less difficult if everyone was already at senior or staff level, but you’d still have so much of that managers time sucked into 1:1s, reviews, and team retrospectives. I’m not even a manager and I start to feel neglected as an engineer once my manager juggles more than 6 other people, because I see they start to forget what I’m working on, and those 6 start to compete for attention to get promotions…
That's indeed true for the average worker, but are you sure it is the case for software engineer? How high were the salaries in the 80s?

Ah, Marxism: that 19th century idea that refuses to die no matter how often it fails.

This point feels as though the author intends it to function as a 'defeater' -- C++ and Rust are used, therefore VSCode is a bad example (as a neighbor post says, an 'exception that proves the rule'.)

I invite you to consider that the converse may be true: if you can keep things performant by RIIR or even C++, it makes a great case that desktop apps should resemble web apps, with a native backend talking to a JS/CSS/HTML frontend. It does not function as a cautionary tale, but as a compelling proof-of-concept.

> And as ChatGPT evolves into an assistant that performs actual jobs for you, websites that perform actual services (e.g., online shopping) may be next in line to suffer a decline in traffic.

Or an alternative: websites that perform actual services will be redesigned to facilitate the integration with (their use by) ChatGPT and continue providing the value to the end user (for example, in case of online shopping, users still buy from the shop, even if ChatGPT is their primary interface).

Maybe we are on the verge of developing a new standard for the ChatGPT "programming" interface.

Can you describe in detail how a strategic internal VR initiative "distracts" Congress about election interference?
That kind of makes sense for disaster planning though.

If Gitea discovered some massive CVE, and volentarily went dark to fix it... They would want their code and fix hosted somewhere else.
Its fun to see all the people reacting "Google's Bard shows incorrect information", and at the same time say "Google is done, they couldn't even release a LLM chatbot first".

Think how bad it would have been if Google released Bard first and it returned inaccurate information, or worse was racist. LLMs are just language generating models and may not be fully accurate.
Gitea does not use Github because the software can't handle their load requirements, but because they started using GH before Gitea had all the features they needed. They are actively working on hosting Gitea on Gitea, with the last piece being an importer to move over all their GH data.

Blender seems to have been ok manually migrating some things and abandoning other things, since they weren't likely to ever get a Phab->Gitea importer anyways.

Taking the cynical view, that BS is there for a reason. It makes it easier to performance manage people out very very quickly.

The optimistic view is that that BS enables people to never let their productivity drop below a certain level.

The extreme cynical view is to wonder why you are being performance-reviewed every 3 months but salary-reviewed every 12.
The linked post doesn’t support their conclusion.

This rapid increase is especially puzzling because the rate of colorectal cancer has plummeted among older adults—largely due to regular colonoscopies and lower rates of smoking.

“We don’t understand a lot about the causes, the biology, or how to prevent early onset of the disease,” said Phil Daschner, a program director in NCI’s Division of Cancer Biology. “And that’s important to learn more about because it may affect [approaches for] the treatment and survivorship of early-onset colon cancer.”

Pirate ships frequently had crews of about 50, and the biggest ones never exceed a couple of hundred. Do you have real world examples of large organisations (in the thousands of employees) being managed in a flat hierarchy? Because I don't.

Unlike the sibling comments, I would call this a rolling deployment: you are removing an old host and adding a new one at the same time when you restart.

In a blue green deployment I would expect to see you add backend3 and backend4 with the updated code, and then rename services (or redirect traffic in some other way) to them. The difference is, if something goes wrong, backend1 and backend2 are hot standbys and we can revert the change by redirecting traffic back to them.

Because the linked research does not support the point the poster is making. The researchers did not find a link with dishwasher detergents. They found a link with rinse aids, but at quantities and concentrations far higher than you'd find in a dishwasher.

Also, I think we should all be skeptical of someone who says, essentially, "Don't want colorectal cancer? Rinse your dishes and don't eat at restaurants!" Such a simple explanation for colorectal cancer seems suspicious... at best.

It supports Bluetooth 5.2, up to 2Mb/s.

720p == 1280w x 720h * 3bytes (rgb) * 8bits/byte == 22.1Mb / frame

So video compression is going to have to get more than ~10x reduction to fit into 2Mb/s and that's just 1 frame/sec.
> How do the different outcomes due to different contexts, which obviously will turn out very different in almost every single different context, make my statement less valid?

Because your statement is black and white. By your logic, if we don't provide literally 100% of everything needed to survive without requiring anything back at all for every person the system is evil.

Real life is shades of grey. Society requires some incentive for people in it to work in order to function. Of course, we can argue about the specifics, but you'll quickly release that if we provide everything for everybody that there is nobody left to do the providing (at least with today's technology).

GF support groups are full of tales from people who were able to eat wheat in Europe but not NA.

What they don't tell you about wheat very often is that people figured out that if you defoliate a wheat plant, it will shove its remaining calories into the developing seeds and then die. You can control the maturity of a wheat field by spraying it with RoundUp late in the season.

So where the reality versus PR for the decay rate of RoundUp in the environment leaves a very long safety margin with early season and pre-emergent uses of the stuff, whatever you sprayed a matter of weeks before harvest very much matters on variance between fields and between customer and manufacturer.

We may be feeding ourselves RoundUp here.
Article is total and utter bullshit. For example:

> Scams have been around as long as technology, and even the original Apple iPhone demo was completely faked. The mock-up didn’t work at all; Steve Jobs followed a carefully constructed choreography to mislead his audience into thinking it did

This is totally false. The iPhone demo wasn’t a mock-up. It was alpha software that worked to do exactly the things that were demonstrated. Of course there was some choreography to avoid known bugs as there is in any demo, but in fact Jobs did deviate from the script, scaring the developers who were present, but it didn’t crash.

If the author is willing to lie outright about this story or unwilling to do even basic fact checking, then nothing in the story can be trusted.

What you say is true, but the hybrid wheat rich in gluten has already existed for a few millennia and during all this time it has been the main staple food for hundreds of millions or even for billions of people, who have suffered no undesirable consequences from it.

Nowadays it seems that there are more and more people that are affected negatively by gluten consumption. Because this was much less frequent in the past, there must be an additional unidentified factor that causes gluten sensitivity and which has not existed formerly.
