I'd say 2 things.

1) I would of course recommend avoiding surgery where possible.

2) If there are other potential medical treatments for this kind of thing, I'd assume they have different kinds of tradeoffs in these respects: pain, risk of complications, length of recovery, odds of success, and cost, among others. It's hard to judge what the best treatment option for any individual is without knowing the pros and cons of all of the potential options. Maybe non-surgical options are much safer, but have far lower odds of success? I have no idea.
I’ll take it a step further: Only make what people have committed to paying for.

I agree that it feels more like 2000 in some ways. Certainly the crypto space was just as bubble-icious.

2008 when the crunch came it was super bad. Tech companies just froze their product plans. Stopped spending money. Lots of good startups failed through very little fault of their own, when they couldn't ride out the year or two before their customers would spend again.

In 2001 I founded a VC funded startup, and while it was a shit time to be raising money, it was a great time to be hiring. I think we could get to that position again this year. Right now it doesn't feel like good engineers are really struggling to find work though, while in 2001 that was definitely the case, and VCs are definitely getting more cautious.

In 2008 I had the sale of that business fall through as a major SV tech company's CFO said "Nope, we're just not spending any money on anything" after lots of work and terms being sorted out etc. People (CEOs & CFOs) were really scared about contagion and problems well beyond just "tech share are prices falling". I hope we don't get to that point again this time.

That's funny. I actually come from VSCode. I grew so sick of it that I decided to try Emacs. I hadn't done it because I always saw it as a meme because I always heard jokes about it.

I was horrified for months. How did no one tell me how much better Emacs is over pretty much everything and especially VSCode?

In terms of brilliance, VSCode is a photon or two. Emacs is the Tarantula Nebula.

Just the comment that I was looking for. Guess I can run it on my M1 Pro 32GB model
I've been a (happy) Lineage OS user since 2013, and Pixel 2 is still supported by them, so you can check them out. But note that the security updates provided by Lineage OS only pertain to the Android part, not the modem part. This isn't something that a third party OS vendor can fix, as the modem/firmware updates are supplied by the device vendor. And even those are reliant on their suppliers, so ultimately unless they have the negotion power of a multi trillion dollar company (not every vendor has that), they don't have the power to support devices for a long time either (see Fairphone's struggles with qualcomm for example).

For Lineage OS, they maintain the kernels released by the vendors and backport patches to them. But this often means that the backports only address the publicized CVEs and might gloss over a lot of changes between kernel versions that might not have had famous bugfixes. A lot of patches don't end up in a kernel, and often while the version number reads of that of a modern kernel, only a small percentage of the patches in that kernel release was applied compared to the upstream kernel. For this it's important to note that the kernel doesn't have a clean separation between "bugfix" and "CVE fix" for patches, this is already a problem that their officially maintained LTS versions have.

From the security point of view you are definitely better off than staying on something that's unpatched, but I have to mirror what parker_mountain is saying. It's way _way_ better to just get an iPhone as that also gives you modem security updates for half a decade. I am really unhappy about the lack of freedom these devices give me, but I have switched to an SE one year ago. It's just such an incredibly good TCO for really good security.
I have a Pixel 7, when I open settings and search for wifi calling it comes up easy with an on/off switch.
Some people attributing their symptoms to long covid may actually have depression or other pandemic-related health issues. The pandemic has led many to reduce social interactions, disrupt sleep schedules and hygiene, stop exercising, gain weight, and neglect self-care. These factors all contribute to low energy levels.

Personally, I know someone who now takes amphetamine salts (like Adderall) for concentration issues post-covid, but they also show signs of severe depression. I don't intervene, because I am not a doctor, though bad enough depression shows itself clearly.

Long covid, of course, is real and can be severe. But some people need to reflect, be more humble, and consider how their own actions during the pandemic affected their wellbeing. This idea will probably be controversial now, unfortunately.
Well, I use a web browser on the phone. Chrome et al. are still receiving updates for my phone, but I'm guessing they use some system components that are not receiving updates? So my main worry is something like an ad network loading an exploit. You don't need to be a high value target to get caught in an extremely wide net like that.

(Yes, I know: get a better ad blocker, etc. — I'd rather have fewer weak links, though, and a lack of basic OS updates is a pretty big weak link.)
If you look around most companies especially with the way hiring has been the last few years, layoffs != gutting.
Single use superblocks? Most Korean/Chinese apartment block regions feature multi-use (without industrial) and do it very well, incorporating commercial slots surrounded by a throng of greenery and apartment blocks for residents, with nearby lower-density, medium-density housing.

Got any examples of China? Because Koreans follow density principles extremely well.
As another person who loves free software, I'm a little sad that after so much progress has been made in other areas, when it finally looks like x86's dominance of the desktop and laptop CPU markets is starting to slip, the most attractive contender for a non-x86 Linux laptop is any proprietary platform, Apple or otherwise.

And I do have a distaste for putting money in Apple's pockets for various personal reasons, from the huge pile of cache they're sitting on to the way they repeatedly updated my long-dead iPod's firmware just to break its compatibility with open-source tools for syncing music to it way back in the day to the upstream-hostile forming of WebKit from KHTML to their utterly cynical use of 'open-source' as a marketing ploy when they launched OS X. So if I do get an Apple Silicon Mac, it will have to be used even though I wouldn't otherwise want it to be.

Because most other hardware vendors suck, too, there are still things Apple could do, short of becoming some kind of open hardware company, that would make me reconsider that general sense of hostility I've gotten from them over the years, which I acknowledged in this other comment on this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35233479

I just wish my interest in the Apple Silicon option could be wholehearted enthusiasm, instead of something complicated by my relationship to a company whose ethos screams that my values are unimportant on a bunch of different levels.

>and I hope my answer makes them reconsider.

but.. their old phone is still operating fine, it isn't even affected by the Samsung modem exploit, and best-of-all the pixel 2 is well supported by many third-party Android roms.

Parent literally has one of the best supported older phones available for third party OS installation (which, incidentally, is what parent was asking about..)

so, in the interest of e-waste/recycling/keeping old things going I hope they reconsider the value of their already-owned hardware and how it may still continue to serve them.
Thanks, interesting because I thought that the styles pictures (available after clicking on the call to action) would serve as samples but I guess I should put them on the homepage directly. I will try that tomorrow (European timezone ^^)
It's the same in every country. It's just that Korea started so late that there were no other cities to build from. Busan isn't a great city to grow.
Meta consistently paid the highest out of all FAANG for it's entire lifetime, only beaten by Netflix at specifically senior, but easily overtaken just by stock performance YoY. How much more could you possibly want? Even if you don't limit it, all FAANG pays consistently well, maybe minus Apple who is just on par or slightly ahead of Microsoft, even then, you are paid insanely well.

I don't believe paying more would instill any sense of loyalty in SWEs.
With a cursory search I found CVE-2021-0316. This one's just for bluetooth, but it's an RCE with no user interaction discovered in 2021. Pixel 2 had its last security patch in November 2020.

> We found 400 people to fire, which sounded like a good number because it's not as big as 500. None of them seemed to be doing anything useful, so we fired them.

> The product will not be affected and as a user you will notice no difference whatsoever.

> Signed, some anonymous guy who took over after our CEO stepped down this week so you can't blame him for firing people.
Consumption, job creation, and wages are still going up (on average). Most appreciating real estate is in high-demand urban centers where construction can't/doesn't keep up.

On top of that, a lot of older people are realizing the equity in their homes or their stocks, and they can buy in cash.

In that environment, you expect high home prices and high debt (as people assume their income will keep rising).
I can only call upon my own experiences, man.

I’m cautiously curious which, erm, quadrant(?) the following fall into: Virginia, Montana, Maryland, New Mexico, Minnesota, Tennessee, Kansas, North Carolina, Iowa.

> This is awesome and has huge potential to improve developer productivity! The only thing that it gives me pause is that it requires a very broad Github authorization. Do you really need to "be able to read and write all public and private repository data"?

Compared to a regular search engine, the permissions required are pretty much the same. Both this & regular search engines need to go through a repo's codebase to be even able to give results in the first place.

Privacy-wise, they could probably make it better by requiring each repo to be approved before they can be searched, but that would make for a more friction-laden developer UX. The broad permissions are likely just a consequence of not wanting to ask the user every time a new repo is to be searched through.

> Rapidly translating UIs into code is a core skill for UX engineers

Maybe I'm confusing the terms, but in our company UX engineers main job is to "figure out" the user flow. It's kinda UI but with mostly boxes (colors, fonts, animations will be added by designers/coders later).

It's closer to product management than programming actually.
According to Wikipedia the Pixel 2 received security updates for less than 3 years. None of their devices got more than 3 years 3 months of updates. That should be illegal honestly, couldn't be more clear that they don't care about sustainability.

Google it

"ThinkPad linux driver reverse engineered" or "lenovo linux driver reverse engineered"

Power management, I2C devices, touchpad, touchscreen, audio, WiFi, bluetooth, etc. Many things besides the GPU. Maybe some of it is open now (Intel parts) but that wasn't always the case.

As another smart person (smoldesu) pointed out here, Lenovo has recently started contributing some updates to the kernel, but the vast majority has been reverse engineered over decades.

The attitude of Linux devs was always to accept that hardware is proprietary/undocumented and get to work on reverse engineering. Then users take it for granted that stuff just works and have no appreciation of the effort that it took to get it working.

> Have you, ceo of wasmer, suggested worked on or seen efforts to make WebIDL an ABI for wasm to work across?

Me, as CEO of Wasmer and son of my mother, have seen efforts in many contexts to try to reuse standards rather than recreate them. Jokes aside, I think it's useful to think on how things that already exist can fit the current panorama rather than creating new standards that might take longer to adopt.

> As ceo of wasmer you must certainly be aware of at least some of the sundry low level details & duties that WIT has to perform

Of course I think that WebAssembly Interfaces can fulfill some part of the picture. In fact, at Wasmer we have been working on that front to make sure it fulfills our company needs [1].
But in the context of the browser, I think WebIDL would have fulfilled the goal of DOM access from Wasm in a way faster way than any other "standard" that is not yet standardized. I'm here advocating for use-case first (product led development), rather than tech-first. I wrote about this in more detail here, in case you may be interested! [2]

Are we ethically ready to set up shop in space?
All I can take from this comment is there are several likelihood thresholds and an array of future Celsius values which can be combined to generate arbitrarily many “final warnings”. Sigh.
And yet Google used Exynos for those designs. Somehow Samsung must have told project zero that they didn't need to release a fix - a project run by their customer for this SoC. But promptly after disclosure a fix appears. I guess it's good that they'll come out for five years, but it's probably worth a little bit of doubt on our part whether Samsung will actually deliver on that promise.
No offer, no worries. Catch the next interview back.
But did they let those people go?
I'm not sure you'll find such a video. Emergence is a phenomenon that's not yet well-understood. (But if you do find it somewhere, let me know as well!)
I would refer to Kelsey Hightower's random twitter space[1]. The last 15 min will do.

On paper it's nice and all but it's just not there yet. I've seen so many hype around WASM since 20 but the promised vision is always "any time soon", this triggers my hype alarm a lot.

Say what you will about Frontend/js ecosystem, at least most js project tells you exactly what value it will bring within 3 screen scrolls. I believe it's better for rest of the SWE community take a page or two from js.

Historical accuracy is not the ticket for broader acceptance. If they want to think anything with violins is "classical" let's just go with it.
> Pixel 6 and later phones will get updates for at least 5 years from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US.

That's not really the same thing as "updates for at least 5 years". The date the device first went on sale in the US isn't particularly relevant. They'll still sell it to you long after that, and then end support not long after it's out of warranty. That's what happened to mine.

The lessons I'm learning here (if I'm running a first party OS) are:

- Check very carefully how long different vendors actually support their devices. Google is pretty rubbish on this front, it turns out.

- Always buy the latest model when buying a new phone, even if it doesn't have anything I need, or I'll just have to "upgrade" twice as frequently instead.
Quoted from the same site in the 2022 study:

"The death rate from fentanyl increased 10-fold from 2015 to 2019. The rate of prescription opioid deaths fell 30% from 2011 to 2019."

"The number of amphetamine-related emergency department visits increased nearly 50% between 2018 and 2020. The number of non-heroin-related opioid ED visits more than doubled in the same period."

Doesn't look like minor changes to me.
Yeah I think it lines up with Davinci being 10x as expensive as Turbo.
fwiw, third-party android roms are only part of the story. And, in an article about the baseband being compromised, I would hope people would take that into consideration.

>so, in the interest of e-waste/recycling/keeping old things going I hope they reconsider the value of their already-owned hardware and how it may still continue to serve them.

In the interest of security, both theirs and the people they communicate with, I hope they consider upgrading their device to something that has a very long lifespan of active security updates.
... but presumably this isn't true for some customers whose network operator is holding this update hostage. Like mine.
The truth of the matter is that companies aren't monetarily incentivized to avoid layoffs.

Layoffs cost almost nothing. Companies aren't required to pay full salaries or provide any healthcare/benefits for any reasonable period of time after a layoff.

I think even the 3 month notice period from the WARN Act is a pretty crap amount of time to provide for employees who have been terminated.

For a software company especially, they can pull a Twitter and leave the business on autopilot with the code that has already been written and axe most employees. It's not really a big deal to get rid of employees then hire them back 6 months later, but it really should be.

Also, companies like Twitter prove that the WARN Act can just be outright violated while employees are left to fight court battles they can't afford nor have time to fight.

Then you look at unemployment benefits where in most states the whole process is overly bureaucratic and wasteful system that doesn't come close to anything resembling a replacement for salary. I think that whole system would work better and be able to send more money to the unemployed if it was just automatic payments without all the overhead of having people on staff processing applications and answering phones to deal with questions, appeals, etc.

Instead, just continue all terminated employees' salary and healthcare benefits for 3-6 months after termination automatically on the employer's dime. Implement something like that and watch as our boom and bust economy gets a lot less mountainous. Companies would actually have to try and make an educated choice about whether or not to hire someone.

Companies should only be able to dispute unemployment in cases of clear and obvious misconduct. I don't even think that low performing employees who showed up and made some level of half-assed effort should have unemployment benefits revoked. Isn't the hiring of a low-performing employee the fault of the employer for not sufficiently vetting the candidate?

Maybe what I'm proposing is too extreme, I don't know, but I think the status quo is way too lenient on businesses.
