Well there’s setting the default search engine. That’s not part of the rendering engine, but remember when IE6 was so much better than Netscape? Or vice-versa? If content is way better from one part of the internet, then users will select that corner for search too.

WebGPU is key. Apple has been dragging their feet here while their AR / ML teams catch up to the rest of the industry.

8thwall (https://www.8thwall.com/projects) has some pretty good demos of completely cross-platform AR/VR stuff. All this gets a ton better if iOS somehow supports WebGPU.

And then there is user fingerprinting and ads stuff. A ton of fingerprints today are from CSS quirks and the like. Renderers can favor or disfavor these things.
Agreed. I'm a manager who doesn't write code anymore (at work) and, at best I'm adding log statements or updating documentation. I'm still encouraged to write code if I can, but it just doesn't make sense.

When I had a single digit number of developers on my team, writing code was still possible. When I started closing in on double digits, I realized that I had so many other things to do that, at best, I was only going to have a few scattered 30 minute or 1 hour blocks each day to write code. Also, a lot of my job is to handle the unknowns that come up, so I also couldn't really commit to any hard deadlines.

That means, best case scenario, I could only pick up work that wasn't high priority and that didn't require long periods of uninterrupted time. I still love writing code, but my philosophy has always been to focus on the things that only I can do. Low complexity projects that no one is waiting for can be done by just about anyone. My "staying in touch with the code" time is better spent doing PR reviews or reviewing design docs.
If you live in most American cities, biking is basically a life hazard on par with smoking imo
Samsung products suck. I had everything from TVs, phones, and other devices outright fail under warranty only to find they would not honor it. I finally stopped giving them my money, but I am not surprised to hear that they are using such tactics. Their brand reputation is utter garbage, and apparently they full well know it.
So Big Data isn’t dead. It’s just found it’s place in society….
Seconding a gastroenterologist. In Australia you have to be referred to by a general physician, and the GE will perform the colonoscopy procedure and also consult. I'm in my 30s and had mine done just the other week. The prep sucks but it's for a good cause, and the anaesthesia is divine.

Good on your friend ;) It's important to look after your brain's meat suit, particularly that area considering the growing body of research between the gut/brain
US, Lead Dev position, I just received a 6.5% pay increase this last month. Folks massively overhired last year, they're mostly still doing fine however, and there's a correction going around for that. It may end up that things get a bit worse this near necessitating what I would consider a _real_ round of layoffs, but we're not quite there yet (Zoom and the like being the exception given their reliance on remote/at-home focused clients).

It seems disingenuous to call it open source when none of the hardware seems to be open source.
Thank you. Now whenever I read output of a generative LLM, I will read it in my head with the confidently-wrong often-insane cadence of a toddler.
Honestly our findings from working at scale (Facebook, Google, Twitter, Discord, Reddit, ...) were actually the opposite.

With hand written (not arbitrary) rules it's easier to understand the intent of the attacker and build a system that they can't work around because we're blocking them at their source of income. Sure they can figure out how to post messages but unless they can include their link/payload/etc it's not worth their time.

Machine learning defences are definitely a part of what we did, but they're slower to respond to attacks and generally easier to work around.
> Nobody is going to use a chat-bot if it is (a) constantly trying to sell you something or (b) going to give you biased results that are influenced by advertising spend

I guess this is something that Google/search engines and other media like podcasts have had to navigate.

While it's not obvious how to best do it in this interface, I dunno, you still have a whole browser window to work with and the search engine solution (show the ads separately and labeled at the top) and the podcast solution (read the ads separately and clearly labeled) weren't super imaginative and seem to be working okay. Gmail ads on the right margin is maybe another example to point to.

I imagine there are probably plenty of UI things to experiment with that don't involve masking the advertisement as expert advice.

But yeah while this is all being sorted out I imagine it shrinks the monetizable surface of search a good bit.
If the trucker is the owner of the trucking company, he do not get his money because of the labour, but because of capital. He could even pay someone to run the business, and as the capital owner, he would keep receiving money and profits. Even if he thinks that it is fun to drive the company truck and work with this, it does not change the fact that his means of income is not labor, but capital. Compare with a regular truck driver that if does not work, gets no money.
Parent is just joking. `site:reddit.com` is not used for searching facts, but for finding opinions, reviews, personal experiences, and instructions.
I am a fan of Rust, but I feel obligated to point out the return type of the current function does not provide any guarantees about the type which '?' was used on, even on stable. Since the generic requirement to use '?' with a return type of `Result<T,E>` is just `Into<E>`, you would still need to look at the called function since `From<E> for T` could be satisfied for (almost) any T.
The TOC is our owners team, but three are from the company and three are from the community.

The reason to say it as a disclaimer is because we are going to have some bias.

I am a massive sufferer of imposter syndrome, I do my best to help everyone and smooth over things and set direction in a clear way with as much freedom in execution as possible.

but i am always second guessing myself. I know I am almost certainly a middling manager (if not a bad one), but I would like to improve.

Not because I love doing it, but because I don't trust that anyone else in my position (or who would take my position) actually wants to improve.
american tech leaders are just herding, basically responding to investor sentiment which regards the tight employment market as the cause of inflation, which is killing the real value of their wealth in equities. is the tight labor market the cause of the current inflation? maybe. will layoffs curb inflation and boost equity prices? maybe. maybe not! but the fever has taken hold and if you are in senior leadership of a big tech company you are looking around and wondering why aren’t you laying people off too. japanese companies just don’t have the same relationships, the same board membership cross polinations, the same social circles etc. it’s easier to recognize that it’s better for the health of your company to have happy employees with loyalty and motivation than distrusting workers who are all wondering when the axe is coming for them
When the capitalist class colludes to push down wages, make working conditions worse, and do mass layoffs when the company is so profitable that they have so much money they don't even know what to do with it and are therefore buying back stock, are there any laws that protect workers?

(those are the conditions that the article describes, not me)

Should there be?

Are the laws you're citing currently good, do you agree with them?

Is there a lawsuit that someone that isn't from a protected class can pursue to get a raise? Work less hours? Have enough coverage in a role that an employee can take holidays and vacation time? Have a consistent schedule?
You can use the API to export all of the metadata in a single request:

https://docs.github.com/en/rest/migrations/orgs#start-an-org...

https://docs.github.com/en/rest/migrations/orgs#download-an-...

Using a Github App you get 15K requests per hour. Even with pagination(100 records per request) you should be able to get at all of this data within a couple of hours. I suspect you lack reliable transformation tools to take github metadata and convert it to gitea versus the limitations of GitHub.
The ever growing size of trucks is in part because the government outlawed the more reasonable economical compact trucks, through an absolutely bone-headed combination of CAFE and the chicken tax and various regulation.
It’s not only the checks, but allotted storage. An Integer that’s guaranteed not to be null can be stored in 4 bytes, a “Point” class with two “int” fields that is guaranteed to be not null can be loaded in a 64-bit register, etc. That makes it easier for the compiler to generate good code.
But relevant to the topic at hand, do any of those sources regularly make it onto the search engine results page? Is the quality of Forbes, Cnet, Reddit, Wikipedia and Quora clearly better than these AI generated responses in some way?

I know there are expert vetted information sources, but you generally have to pay for the quality and they do not get linked to from Bing and Google.
Adding more shoulder space induces higher speeds, unless you also add obstructions in the widened shoulder.

If it feels like your car is not squeezed, the natural inclination is to drive faster. You need to resist that inclination to stay within the speed limit. Basically, increasing the perceived width of the lane you’re in increases speed, and speed of crash is one of the core determinants of crash fatality.

James Bruton's videos might be a good place to start.

I've been hearing it for about 5-7 years now, usually in the context of career paths. I think it became popular when companies realized that non all developers are made for management and you need a separate career track for people who want to advance, but don't want to be a manager.

Principal engineer, architect, etc all fall into the IC career path, while, manager, director, VP of eng, etc all fall into the management track.
I will give you a few examples.

The week before my diagnosis and severe attack, I was eating a fatty diet. I was at the office and noticed my stomach feeling slightly queasy. I had just that week brought a box of fridge magnets into the room I work in. This was the first time I had a box of them around me. I could smell the off gassing. I assumed this was the problem, since that was the new thing around me. I removed them and seemingly had relief, until the attack. Placebo...

Ten years ago I would visit my parents house and eat fatty meals. I usually had a slight queasiness when I was there. I did not like going to their place. My subconscious mind had taken the queasy feeling and turned it into disdain. They had mold issues. I blew it off as a reaction to that. I know for certain some molds cause a reaction in me, but it is just puffy eyes in the morning after sleeping in a moldy/mildewy place.

I went to Denver and did some hiking in the mountains. After eating a meal in town, I was quite sick. It felt much like a cold/flu without the respiratory symptoms. I blew it off as altitude sickness. I am not a doctor...

My mother has similar stories. Her first bought she associated with a cat that was in our basement. The cat was gone and her problems persisted. She then began to associate her symptoms with mold. The mold was removed and her problems persisted. She then began to blame it on gut bacteria imbalance triggered by her breast cancer and or treatment of. In the end, she had her gallbladder removed in the E.R. after a stone was lodged in her bile duct. She sleeps great and has more energy than she has had in decades.

These atypical symptoms are not easy for a person to diagnose intuitively. Erroneous associations were easy because our diets are not consistent and the symptoms were not immediate or as severe as something like a broken bone.

As far as sensitive skin is concerned. Laundry detergent and soaps come to mind as irritants. I get spots and itches from dairy.
What fraction of the zoom engineers do you think are working on either the video and audio codecs, the networking code, and the video/audio I/O?
Absolutely. Of all the companies I've worked with, the one with absolutely the most effective management was the one where every manager was also a part-time IC. The head of mechanical engineering had to design a product while managing the team. The shop manager was also working as a machinist for most of their shift, or working on jig design and metrology. The head of accounting, of course, spent most of their time accounting, and only part of it managing the accountants. The head of software also wrote software, although not as much as their subordinates, and they were reviewing the codebase all the time. Of course none of the managers would chew through their IC work as quickly as people who could devote all their hours to it, so they mainly picked up tasks that weren't critical-path to avoid becoming blockers to their team.

The CEO rotated through positions, spending several months working in customer service, inventory, accounting, and even working directly on the production line. He mainly put himself on whichever team was most short-handed, although it was more to learn firsthand what their challenges were, and how the company could allocate resources to solve them. Fortunately he was a multitalented guy who could pick up those roles productively, and also humble and down-to-earth enough to not intimidate his colleagues too much when he took over the neighboring desk.
Privacy?

Not every website I visit needs to know my location.

Not every website with a map needs access to my location.

Only websites I specifically allow to access my location should have access.

On the iPhone and specifically safari I've never had an issue or a steep learning curve to showing someone how to long press the reader view (AA) in the url then select _allow location_ or whatever.

I wonder if you sample all had something in common. Did they not regularly use this web app? Was this an event specific web app? If so it would be nice if the web app detected mobile browser by user agent and displayed instructions for activating location. Might help reduce confusion.

Biking means you’re close to your destination. In most American cities, offices are downtown, where cost of living is extreme. I save thousands a month by commuting 20 minutes.

Until cities get affordable to live in, us “poor” will continue to exist in the reality that is now, and commute for two times the square footage, and a backyard, for less than a studio apartment.
What exactly is progressive about Reddit compared to other tech companies?

And is that the only possible explanation we can think of?
Stack Of never paid anyone though, so it seems possible for Google to launch a service where people answer questions to feed the AI and give back similar tokens as SO.

I mean, they could make a game, where people have to try to beat the AI (and other humans) in making the best answers to questions.
i think the "Story" page might be a better link, i know about busy beavers, but those that don't might be a bit lost.
These fees are usually waived based on spend and often just require a simple call to the issuing bank. Even 400 usd won’t cover hundreds of thousands of airmiles gained by spend.

Thanks, yeah. We have started to look at that alternative endpoint, but it doesn't have the exact data as the api, nor is it always in the exact same format.

Although as I have run the migration myself several times to attempt to debug issues, it takes over 24hours due to ratelimiting.

Among many interesting references, I learned about Lingua Ignota -- "an experimental-pop project launched by the multidisciplinary artist Kristin Hayter, takes its name from Hildegard’s “unknown tongue” and channels her spirit through darkly vengeful chants that unfurl before walls of noise" (from the article)

It literally says the same, the interchange in these is higher.
I once built a series of microservices doing the same thing but with different external vendors. Originally I thought it would be best to add a dispatcher/orchestration microservice that other services would have to go through, because I thought the externally connected services would all end up with differet APIs. In the end, I managed to give all those services the same API, making the dispatcher service obsolete and overengineered. Ultimately I just shipped it because changing the architecture would have meant endless discussions with that one lead architect who actually gave nor shit about anything but pointless discussion and I was out of time. So I shipped all the services.

In the last performance review, my boss complimented the amount of new services I put into production.

I hate software engineering.
And good luck not having your bikes get regularly stolen in places like SF or NYC. You better ride the most revolting beater you can find, and even then.
(This is only a partially developed thought. I'm sure some of my reasoning isn't sound. Please help me to develop it more fully.)

This is an extremely misguided essay. It conflates two types of programmers. There are two classes (as in labor classes) of programmers. It's like confusing the difference between an electrician and an electrical engineer. Many businesses already recognize this fact, but the author doesn't seem to have a clue.

The first, "programmers," do routine things to implement features, which it sounds like the author is advocating everyone turn into.

The second, "software engineers," are a new class of workers, knowledge workers. Creativity and collaboration are core job functions for this class of workers. Is implementation a piece of it, yes, but it is decidedly not the point of the job.

Software engineers ARE "the machine that makes money". Trust is the mechanism that keeps a technology company viable. Apple and Microsoft are great examples. They are ascendent when there is trust in the motives of the company, but when they were headed for rent-seeking or "lost their soul" (for lack of a better description) they quickly started declining and were on the path to bankruptcy or at best irrelevance.

For a software engineer leaving is like leaving a half completed painting. You leave behind the artifacts, but they were never the (most) important part.

When leaving the company is sufficient to change its prospects (taking your ball with you) elaborate strike behavior is unnecessary. Without creative engineers, tech companies will die and creativity requires psychological safety.

Most large subs will curate the content via their opinionated rules and enforce them. There's teams of humans that are basically cleaning up the garbage.
Many Americans would disagree that they "ended the "slippery slope" there" or have anything close to free expression. Look at the Trucker protests during Covid, arresting people for harmless jokes on Twitter, or because a dog raised it paw.....

Come On now. Neither Canada, nor Europe have free speech, while they may not be to 1984 authoritarianism yet, they are well well down that path.

Isn't it [still] rather useless to compare US wages vs other countries?
I mean, I'd probably be on a huge income if it didn't just cost me €90 (ninety euro) for a 6 day stint in hospital. Let alone the drugs, sleep meds, replacement for my regular chems, etc. Plus, a 6x 2x a week physio course after - €35 for 12x50 min courses.
At this rate , with just a couple of car crashes and an accident at work, I'd be a millionaire no time. In America.

Maybe the 80/20 rule applies here: 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes (or employees in this case).

The problem is, that you can never be quite sure which 20% to keep and which 80% to fire.

Big budgets allowed companies to play it safe. Not anymore, it seems.
