I don’t work at Microsoft, but I’m assuming it works very similarly to other big tech companies I’ve been at. Good news is that at a big company promotions are a well worn path! Tell your manager that you’re interested in a promo and have them help you craft a plan and give you feedback. Check out the career expectations for the next level up and do those things (easy, right?).

Basically at higher levels it generally isn’t about better tech skills, but more about having more responsibilities and a larger impact. Some teams have way more opportunity for growth - so try and find a team that suits you. As an older engineer hopefully you have a lot of those soft skills already!

Sometimes the easiest way to a promo is interviewing. The system design interview in particular is where you can help your case in earning a higher level.
I never went into one of those stores, but I'm down in Florida, and my apartment building has what they call a "sundry shop". It's connected to the main office but it's 24 hours - you get in with an electronic key. It's like a little convenience store, like a corner store in NYC. But the checkout is self-service, and there's a camera.

It's amazing, I love it.
The west will only shoot its own foot with such sanctions. World economy melted down after sanctioning Russia. Imagine sanctioning China, the country which the entire world depends on for the cheap consumer goods that keeps the engine of capitalism running.

Toblerone Milk as it can be bought here has only 5.6 gramms of protein per 100 gramms. A good milk chocolade should have at least 7 gramms of protein per 100 gramms (aim for 8 gramms if possible).

So Mondelez cashes in on the brand name and the still perceived Swissness while selling you cheap chocolate.
Well those are some dumbass rich Chinese people, after 2022 they expect what happened to Russians in the west won't happen to them when a Taiwan war starts?

Come on you can't really talk about Rule of law when its as fluid as the west wants it to be right? When it comes to Russia and China they can quickly find majority rule to change laws.

Aah well its not my money on the line :p

No one said that, Myspace was a huge expression of freedom in a time where not many could afford a domain-name or a server with decent connection.

It's Norway, Germany has nothing todo with it since 1945, and no they are not decent, but this is Germany's problems and not those of Norway.

Terrible, having local company's instead of internet controlling behemoths who made it the opposite of a distributed information exchange network (you know the core idea of arpanet).
I shopped at their location at 30 rock. It was a mixed bag feeling. I was in awe of the technology, but at the same time I felt like I was being overly observed like in a prison.. I never went back, even though I work in the building.
This sounds like the same argument used when sites went after PirateBay for hosting pointers to content, even though they never hosted the content itself.
There's the classic Metronome GC. They say they're currently pushing pause times down to 250usecs:

https://researcher.watson.ibm.com/researcher/view_group_subp...

The Recycler GC is measured around 2ms on old hardware, so it's surely less now because IIRC that pause time is only to copy the stack to a buffer to scan in a separate thread:

Java without the Coffee Breaks: A Nonintrusive Multiprocessor Garbage Collector, https://sites.cs.ucsb.edu/~ckrintz/racelab/gc/papers/bacon-c...

A study of 3 realtime concurrent copying collectors, CHICKEN, CLOVER and STOPLESS, all of which seem to "response times" less than 10 usecs:

A Study of Concurrent Real-Time Garbage Collectors, https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.353...

Parallel realtime collector, hard to quantify exact pause time because it's configurable and they make a good point that MMU is a better measure:

http://www.aladdin.cs.cmu.edu/papers/pdfs/y2001/rtg.pdf

Then you have various compile-time GC analyses you can apply to your language, like Perceus:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2020/1...

The problem with maximum pause times is that it's not necessarily a feature of all realtime collectors, which try to do work incrementally and so don't necessarily introduce pauses in the same way as traditional tracing GCs. As you can see above, some of them quantify realtime behaviour in various ways so you can trade off memory use, CPU utilization and max latency.
No. They bought it because the excess capital produced by artificially low exchange rate used to stimulate domestic production and exports is too big to be parked anywhere else.
Maybe they should put the High Tatras on the logo instead now
Like I said, I’m not interested in hearing why you believe other individuals should be forced to pay more money to things that would benefit you. Do you have any examples of government inequality? For instance, does the law require that a white student with the same SAT as a black student be prioritized?

false equivalence. you can run a website without tracking anyone or storing anyone's data - aggregated and anonymized, or not.
This case says something different though. It says you can’t use a test that doesn’t relate to the job, regardless of if there’s intent to discriminate or not.

A standardized test that tests your ability to do the job is still allowable — presumably even if minorities fare worse on it.
Another sad fact, is some open-core projects reject user contributions that add features rivalling the paid product... as you'd expect I guess

Open-core is a red flag to me. Don't expect the OS product to get better over time, more often it gets worse...
It surely is a problem and not everyone lives in the city center or in a nearby street with a public transport stop.

Then there is the whole issue with timetables once one gets a few km away from city center, with only one connection per hour between 7 AM and 8 PM, for anything else there are taxis.

Not every location in Europe is Amsterdam, Berlin, Milan,...

>surrounding them with US-friendly states who then get military support

As is the standard playbook of dictator/authoritarian apologism, you completely reverse causality here and deny non-authoritarian countries self-determination. The US isn't "executing a strategy" or "surrounding [Russia/China]", it's that Russia and China are engaging in terrifying behavior, attacking and undermining their surrounding countries, promoting a pure might-makes-right and historical grievance narrative, making vast claims over neighboring countries sovereignty with their "spheres of influence" and China's ludicrous ocean claims, and on and on. And as a direct result their neighbors are banging on the door to get into Western security agreements they see as being able to defend them! NATO was falling apart. European military capability has massively decayed. Much of Europe was completely content to make occasional noises but otherwise pursue economic integration above all else. What has changed everything has been Russia and China's actions.

Taking that and reversing it into a "woe is me why is everyone so mean" story is gross.

>While I, personally, agree that it would be stupid I can certainly see that situation from the perspective of a hypothetical Chinese military planner. A destabilised Russia would potentially have a colour revolution leading to a US encirclement on 3 compass points. China would therefore have no choice but to support the war effort against Ukraine.

Here's an alternative thought: Russia just fucking LEAVES UKRAINE. Stops committing mass murder, rape, genocide, child abduction, theft, purposeful destruction of civilian infrastructure, and war crimes in general. That China NOT invade an independent democratic country like Taiwan. That they stick to international treaties and norms and focus on making themselves rich and happy. That ever occur to you? Apparently not. Hopefully "Chinese military planners" aren't quite so evil and blind but of course in dictatorships that tends to not be the case.
Look up the Berlin-to-Baghdad railroad, and see British oil holdings in Persia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_campaign_(World_War_I)

Clearly the transition of global navies from coal to oil around 1906 meant that dominating the world's oceans would require secure sources of oil. Read Daniel Yergin's "The Prize".
I've often heard that hysteria, but it seems overblown in my experience in the Washington, DC area. Yes, you will likely see a homeless person or two when you go to the library, especially when the weather is bad, but they certainly haven't "taken over" the library or generally bother anyone using the library for its intended purpose.
Yes, but a world-stopping mark and sweep collector is pretty much a non-starter for anything non-trivial in the modern world with full heaps well into the gigabytes. You'd be talking about multiple seconds of delay.

Heads Up: A Better Movie Seat May Cost You
The Gervais Principle – Read by “Artificial Jeremy Irons”
So most of you are familiar with the Gervais Principle ebook (originally in the form of blog posts) by Venkatesh Rao, since I see it posted at least once a quarter here for the past decade.

I used Elevenlabs and a sample of Jeremy Irons to make an audiobook out of it, I don't know about the legality of making something like this since even if the book is on his blog as articles it's also available for sale as an ebook. But consider it as a demonstration of what has become possible with cutting edge speech synthesis like elevenlabs (best one at the moment in my opinion), and use some youtube-dl variation to download it if you want to since I might remove it if I get a copyright claim on it.

About the gervais principle: it might help younger employees unfamiliar with office politics in my opinion, if you don't like it because of the terms used (sociopath, loser, clueless, etc.) then just keep an open mind about it, there is valuable information behind what you might think are cringy names.
> US helped orchestrate the 2014 coup that overthrew a democratically elected but Russian friendly government.

Extreme corruption and mismanagement had a much larger influence on the ‘coup’. I’m not saying that the current gov is clean, but that’s what leads to regime change. Also the election you were referring to was a complete sham, which is common with most Russian supported governments

> Ukraine has outlawed Russian language, culture, religion, political parties, and jail those who practice them.

This happened after the 1st invasion, and not prior to that
>terminal decline

I don't think so. It boomed epically from Deng Xiaoping opening up to Xi closing down a bit again. But Xi won't be there forever and the place will muddle through. Maybe a temporary relative decline for a decade or so.
Erlang was built for doing that.

It has been field tested at industrial scale and its ecosystem is mature and extensive.

Good luck.

indeed. this is why we should be banning all analytics. user specific tracking or not, it's possible to deanonymize data in aggregate, therefore the only way to truly guarantee user privacy is to ban all analytics.

if people think your privacy is secure because the website is not capturing "user-specific" data, think again.

In the midwest we have a giant store called Woodman's that just does low-tech self-checkout lanes and 24-hour stores... Self-checkout is just you doing the scanning and paying yourself... Aside from a high-precision scale and one worker for all of the self-checkout lanes (to assist in errors), it's more or less honor system that just works for the most part.
> What do you use for managing multiple buffers?

Ibuffer

Some people use Helm or Projectile. There's a whole section in the Wiki about it: https://wikemacs.org/wiki/Buffer_management

> The tabs in emacs are different than the ones in vscode.

Just forget tabs exist in Emacs. Like I said, they are for people who are used to have tabs, but serve no purpose if you use Emacs. It's like if you were trying to use Photoshop to run unit tests for some JavaScript code you wrote for Web browser. Yeah, it has a built-in JavaScript interpreter, but really, it's not meant to be used as a JavaScript runtime.

> tab == buffer in vscode

Not sure what you are trying to say... Do you mean a "tab" in VSCode terminology is equivalent to "buffer" in Emacs terminology? -- If so, that's not true. VSCode has a number of fixed windows, which cannot have interchangeable contents. It has a window dedicated to showing text files, it has a window dedicated to interaction with shells, it has a window dedicated to interaction with filesystem etc. While this is really inconvenient and the lack of generic approach is really hurting due to inconsistencies between these windows, that's how they chose to do it.

> I used to think this, but my mind was changed after seeing many experienced emacs users that do prefer using scrollbars

I haven't met a single Emacs user who'd use scrollbars. I probably met about 2-3 dozens. Most wouldn't even know what they look like. Scrollbars aren't well-integrated into the rest of interaction with the program. It's a handicap if you use them. I cannot think about a single reason, a single situation in which scrollbars would be preferable to other methods of navigation. They are less precise, slower and in some cases impossible to implement (eg. infinite buffers).

Freedom and being a noob are orthogonal to each other. I didn't say you should never use scrollbars. I said that if you are a noob, that's what you will likely end up using... I don't say you shouldn't be a noob, I just say that being a noob sucks.

> For someone disabled

And for some who don't have hands, it's even worse... what's your point? There's the reality of text editors: if you have two functioning hands, you are in a very advantageous situation compared to someone who doesn't. Comparing the two doesn't make sense in the same way how it doesn't make sense to let super-heavy-weight boxers compete with light-weight boxers.That's why those categories were created in the first place.
Plenty of people have not known where technology would take us in six months, for the last 200 years or more. AI researchers have been predicting systems like ChatGPT for many years now, and even successfully predicting their failure modes and pathologies.
I had forgotten about P4 style thermal protection, but that wasn’t supposed to trip in normal operation the way SpeedStep and Turbo Boost is.
But that can happen with any ecosystem, right?

It is expected that you will use only the solid ones for production in any tech stack.
We might have different definitions of "usability." Tooling, package management, compiler messages, language documentation. Those are some of the things I think of when I hear "usability" - and those are all top notch. Were you thinking of the learning curve, or did you have issues with some of the above?

In the US, if everything else is wired correctly but you disconnect the neutral-ground bond, you may end up with rather high ground impedance. Those two ground rods, 6 feet apart, that satisfy code could easily have quite a few ohms in dry weather. This, in turn, could allow a live (120V to ground) wire to short to an equipment ground, drawing only a few amps and making every grounded object in your house quite dangerous indefinitely.

Since the NEC does not require any form of residual current detection except for some branch circuits unless you have a huge service, nothing really protects against this type of failure.
The legal difference is that here the DB (app) only acts as proxy, i.e. you don't buy a DB ticket for the local transport but a local transport ticket through the DB (app).

On the other hand if you get a DB ticket across regions it might include local transportation at the begin/destination of the cross-regional route as part of the DB ticket. And this they are not allowed to provide you if your DB ticket isn't cross regional. E.g. if you buy a ICE ticket from one station in Berlin to another station in Berlin they can't offer that. (Most ICEs passing through Berlin stop at least at 2 stations in Berlin).
No one in the entire world has the necessary economic leverage to bring the US to its knees by applying economic sanctions to it. Even if they had such leverage, they wouldn't use it since the US will simply declare war and use its military might to end the sanctions. They've sent gunboats to other people's countries for far lesser offenses.
What instance are you using?
In most cases it is unrealistically difficult to beat the convenience and speed of private cars. If you are in a very dense urban environments, maybe. Otherwise, no.

That's why making public transport very cheap or even free does not make everyone let their cars at home.
> China's unwavering decision to be friends with Russia with "no limit" is slow changing into "directly giving military aids". US and EU is threatening sanctions on China for this, something that most on this board would consider impossible a year ago.

This is pretty contradictory. If you're friend with no limit, military aid should be clearly on the table. There are in fact hard limits.

China is extremely hesitant to send military aid and have been his entire time. I don't think they will send anything noteworthy personally, but it's more than plausible I'm wrong here.

I'm vaguely optimistic that a Ukranian move to get Crimea within fire control will in fact make the war come to a relatively fast end. Ukraine simply needs to recreate the conditions that led to Russia's flight from Kherson in Crimea. Such a loss will be far more devastating. At that point something needs to give. Fingers crossed for the spring.
> I still am not sure I truly understand what a Monad is but I can see the pattern and use it as a tool. It feels more constrained at first but it brings order to chaos.

Ha, I learned Haskell over 6 years ago and I still can't explain what a monad is other than in programming terms. It's a container which defines two operations: put something inside the container (Haskell's "return" keyword), and chain two operations on the container together (Haskell's >>= operator).

LOL. What exactly, numerically, does "Plenty" mean, and how does it compare to "all"? Of course, both the majority and minority of the Supreme Court in the Dobbs opinion are legal scholars, but they disagreed vehemently with each other.

Your response sounds very Orwellian to me. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.
Hello HN Community. I have written a software synthesizer to explore the possibilities of a rather unusual audio synthesis variant. In essence, it is about modifying the waveform of the oscillators like the paths in a vector graphics program. I think the results are quite promising and I would like to share my experience. Let me know what you think, I really appreciate your feedback. I'm especially curious to learn about similar projects and I'm excited to see if the fact that the synthesizer was written entirely in ES6 gets any traction.
Why would USD dominance diminish? Something like 90% of IP is based out of the US. Chinese education system is a complete joke (as evidence by brain drain).
The next step would be dumping out partial UML diagrams for a whole set of names so you can get a quick overview of how TransactionalWrapper, ClientTransactionalWrapper, and PrototypeClientTransactionalWrapper interact with ThreadVisitor, InfoThreadVisitor, and PrinterInfoThreadVisitor.

Could this be explained by the fact that the bar contains other stuff like nougat? They very well might be using "good milk chocolate", but if there's also nougat in there and it has low protein, then it's going to drag down the overall protein ratio.
Good. US cloud providers are so abusive and monopolistic, we basically need regions that exclude them entirely to give better alternatives a place to develop.

As opposed to what, just allowing the US to dominate you? Some people would rather destroy this planet than be subjugated by a foreign power. I don't blame them. At least they have the strength necessary to present such a credible threat. I wish my country did.
The point that roenxi made is that color revolutions in Russia and Kazakhstan would encircle China from the West and North in addition to the existing U.S. allies Japan and South Korea from the Southwest.

It isn't a moral statement, just one realistic scenario that China is afraid of.
> I think he meant that Russia is pretty much surrounded by NATO allies, excluding of course China

And Kazakhstan. And Mongolia. And North Korea. And Belarus.
I think you’re ignoring the fact that China has been very aggressive with its border claims in the Pacific. Under Xi, they’ve literally invaded small islands controlled by south East Asian countries. It’s more than enough to push countries like Vietnam to the US.
I am 90% sure this is written by an LLM. The last sentence, particular the fact that it starts with "Therefore" really seals it for me.
