> Propaganda piece from economists.

I was under the same impression. The whole article is full of "but what about".
If you follow the money this is not surprising, the managers, who also happen to own real estate in New York / California, want their workers occupying their expansive office space and living near it so the real estate bubble doesn't pop right now. So they had the NYT write an article about it.
Statement on EU-US Cooperation on Turning Public Opinion Against Encryption
They made them redundant already by rewriting everything in systemd.
They're africanized if they are very aggressive.

Recently I saw a talk where the speaker said that if you find any africanized beehives in the wild, you should kill the hive because you don't want the africanized bees to spread. (Or if you have an africanized beehive, re-queen it.) I don't have any, and I'd be loathe to kill bees because I'm quite fond of them, but it's probably good advice.
I think most people in the field recognize this efficiency issue and focus on very small NNs. As of yet I have seen very little promising work on improving efficiency, other than work outside of NNs, e.g. Eirene for PH (which is actually a mess under the hood - someone needs to clean up the code base last time I checked - 9 deep nested for loops, really?).
There are several options for topological NN layers out there now, but all of them are excruciatingly slow and blow up RAM (CPU run NNs, since typically >500 GB for fairly small problems) very quickly when I have tried them out.
You're wrong though. Moderated and unmoderated user testing is more prevalent than ever.
Eh? We kind of make sure to discuss all those things on Teams too (or only, really, since 80% is still remote).
Neat idea, shame about all this misleading information though.

The website very strongly implies (1) the only way to predict words is by uploading every keystroke to central server,(2) every keyboard other than theirs do that and (3) the only way to get privacy is to download their product.

This is all complete lies of course. The prediction database is small enough that you can bundle it with app and run all prediction locally. The "upload each keystroke" part is completely optional -- some keyboards have no such functionality, and some keyboards require explicit opt-it via the easily findable checkbox.

It's a pity that the authors of such original ideas have to resort to lies to promote their product.
Slack Engineering: Tracing Notifications
This will not happen. If the government (or Ofcom if the bill goes through) is seen by the populace to be the cause of WhatsApp being withdrawn from British users the outrage will be deafening.

No administration would do such a thing, even the incompetents in office at the moment. (quite possible is a terrible PR own goal followed by a u-turn, however)
These are just more non sequiturs though. Vague platitudes that avoid actually meaningfully discussing what you're suggesting.

> It's not just an intuition, feeling or belief. It's management, not astrology.

Facts aren't intuition, feeling or belief but their perception _can be_. Being late to work every day for a month _can be_ firable, or not.

> If you have not met a person and "believe" they have bad performance,

If you haven't met a person but have observed their behavior, it's literally not discrimination.

> If you make up or mischaracterize situations as a part of your evaluation, that's defamation.

If you mischaracterize your manager as making things up, that's also defamation, no?

> But that employer operates in a territory where there's legislation, which will often include defamation laws. Your employer cannot do whatever they want.

And as I pointed out in the previous post, this goes bidirectionally (and functionally means nothing).

Especially since EU manufacturing output is significantly bigger than US output.
Thanks for that one. The catalog that they have seems very interesting!
IMO, just make that 3 day retreat during work days so you don't require people to work weekends. With that small change I think this would be great for software teams. Perhaps too, every month is too often for anyone with a family. Consider making the interval larger.
Yeah I think that's a stretch. Likely there would be deaths from hospitals not having power etc. but I can't imagine it being at that scale. Secondary effects from the economic fallout might be worse. This kind of reminds me of the y2k non-event though.
My response to a comment that has been deleted while I wrote this:

> One is significantly harder and has more utility than the other, indicating an achievement in knowledge and application of that knowledge rather than using figuring out ways to sell people status signals.

But which is which? Because this could apply in both directions. Bags are undeniably useful, even if LVMH's are ridiculously overpriced. But people have also always complained that Apple is overpriced, and mostly selling people status signals.

And Apple is the most respectable of the Big US companies, because Tesla is all hype, Google blatantly abandoned its "don't be evil" creed, and Amazon is known for its inhuman labour conditions.

I don't think any of these are companies to be proud of. We need better. And better is probably not bigger.
I guess I was too precise when I wrote "Brazilian Portuguese" and caused some confusion. ;) It is actually quite different from European Portuguese, especially when spoken.
Brand is the raison d'être of luxury good companies. No one wants to spend $10k on a random leather bag. On the other hand, people will use whichever digital service offers the best experience. E.g. people use Google because it produces the "best" search results, or they use Amazon because it has the best selection, lowest prices, and fastest delivery time. That's basically the exact opposite of a luxury brand. In tech, the focus is much more on delivering value. Even Apple, which does have a strong brand, has built their brand around having the best products.
Show HN: I made fast and beautiful text slides software
I used Google Slides to create presentations for when training less experienced colleagues. Presentation preparation was taking too much time. Slide layout/resizing/editing issues was distracting me from the message I was trying to communicate.

So I decided to build tool which:
- allows to quickly type content as a note-list for presentation
- creates nice looking slides out of the box
- immediately show how the result would look like.
So their debt is almost more like bonds (E: maybe bank loan is a better equivalent) than what most people would think of as debt?

Like, if they stopped selling cars today they would theoretically recoup all of that debt once all the cars they've sold have been fully paid off via financing.
If you'd have read the article you would see that it has been used numerous times over the last couple of decades.

Indeed. Also, spinlocks are not that great in userlang where one thread can preempt another thread that is holding a spinlock, which means threads on other cores that also want that lock would spin for a whole timeslice and burn a huge amount of cycles.

In the kernel, spinlocks are typically taken at the same time IRQs for the current core are disabled, which avoids this issue (and deadlocks of course).
Indeed! I've actually needed to say "brains are organs, after all" at a few conferences and presentations. In both examples, the statement is meant to be grounding, not revelatory.
Using startallback for this, no excuse for Microsoft but it seriously improved my windows 11 experience.
If this can help with history across many shell instances that would be so great. I've never figured out what to expect, what happens when you have multiple zsh windows across many session, what to expect for how I can navigate that or those histories well.

Random side point, it frustrates me so much I cant get the pre-substitution command taht I actually type, at least in zsh. I really want to see the history of what I type! Not just what the outcome was, but learn & adjust with what I type.

A while back I hacked around writing vim commands that would run my current line (or selection) in a terminal, and then copy the command, paste it after the current line, & go to the next line (and another command to do the same but not re-copy the output). That let me better see the work I had done, and I really liked that, but it was a pretty drastic hack born of desperation.

Shell histories! Yay! Anyone have other good tools they use?
That's not a better analogy because the soapbox guy is essentially pushing spam. These popups are catching you leaving someplace you visited voluntarily. Like the retail people who stand by the door asking if you found everything you were looking for.
He'll just turn up on one of the even more outlandishly right wing channels like OAN. That's what happened with all the proto-fascist presenters here in the UK, though thankfully over here those channels have about 9 viewers.
Don't know but it's a shame. IIRC Qubes uses Xen, because Xen has a small Trusted Computing Base (TCB).

From the paper:

Our data include peer code reviews of software engineers at a Fortune 500 firm between August 2019 and December 2020.

They studied just one company.

I'm guessing that the company doesn't have a remote-first culture, and that things may have improved in the last 2+ years, as companies have gotten more used to both hybrid and remote-only.
I feel like this is going to have the effect of Obi-Wan's quote:

"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

Some are saying, he'll go to OANN or NewsMax. I doubt that - he drew more viewers than any other host. He draws more views than arguably any other right-wing talk show host, or even almost any left-wing talk show host. (Unrelated, but Gutfeld! is more popular than Colbert, Kimmel, or Fallon.) He could set up his own media company with the money he's made and his popularity.
Are there any examples of what has been built using this framework

I would love to see them
Demand for a product increases when the prices of its complements decrease. For example, demand for mobile phones increases as the price of mobile OSs and applications declines.

To maximize demand for a product, make its complements free. For example, to maximize demand for mobile phones, make the operating system free and add a growing number of built-in default apps for free.

Surely, Amazon is thinking along these lines. Which Amazon products/services benefit from all the free code Amazon is contributing/releasing? AWS.

Both LVMH and in some measure Kering somehow managed to keep luxury margins while having their entry-level bags bought by a ton of women especially in China which is an humongous market for them.

As far as I know, Hermes never played fast and loose with quality like the other two but remains considerably more expensive. Note that I mean that in the context of luxury products - quality remains high and I'm not sure I agree that Michael Kors is currently higher quality than Vuitton.
> if the pop-up appears when the user is about to close the window, it does not even stop a visitor in his tracks. He can still close the window without any extra click.

That's a much better way of doing it. If sites did that, I probably wouldn't put them on my "never go back to that site" list.

But most sites don't do it that way.
Yep thanks. I'm solidly in this group of people for whom this kind of thing is counterproductive. To the extent that I honestly can't even imagine the mindset of people who find this motivating. Making me depressed and anxious about how I'm spending my time is the door into the doom loop for me, not the door out of it.

>Tesla has been limiting how fast older models are able to charge at superchargers, with the stated goal of extending battery longevity.

I haven't looked at this work in detail, but you need more than just hypercalls to run those ancient guests; those guests are expecting to see xenstore, disk and block backends, and so on. Those would be a lot harder to emulate in the kernel (and probably a bad idea to try anyway).
Automatic weapons were in fact in the public consciousness at the time of the founding, and the Gatling Gun existed and was used in the Civil War with no restrictions on who may own one.

I dare say, this thought that people so well read they could architect a country were not aware of the State of the Art in weaponry is rather naive.
Real power doesn't quite follow like that. I'm reminded of how Eastenders actor Danny Dyer found he was a descendant of King Edward III.

Real power flows through those who've maintained their assets, e.g. Duke of Devonshire; those who own the media, e.g. Viscount Rothermere; and just buying your way in, like Baron Lebedev, son of former KGB oligarch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Lebedev
I learned C on the Amiga, and this was one of the most annoying things about it. That and the lack of memory protection. It did make me pretty careful though!
Beekeeping is a business. Much beekeeping business lies in renting hives to farmers (meaning: driving them to far away farms where the bees are then allowed to pollinate for a few days, then on to the next far away farm). Hive renting is pretty stressful to beehives, and farmers tend to use a lot of pesticides. And guess what: pesticides are pretty indiscriminate, so they hurt bees too. So yeah, this particular business has colony collapse issues. Beekeepers who produce honey, queens, and hives mostly only have to deal with varroa mites and such predators.

People just vote for him because he sounds funny, because the only thing the parliament is useful for is its entertainment value.
I have seen it on more than one place. Interestingly, all those places are research-focused universities. (And no, mere research institutes don't seem to enable it.)

In retrospect, it is quite obvious why that happens. Just for a start, if your place is such that a high-level executive announcing a layoff would lead people to believe in him, instead of reacting like "what is he talking about? is he crazy?", then you have no chance of ever getting productive water cooler conversations.

The internet has existed since before I was in college, so I also "grew up" on the internet. But you're vastly overestimating what you can learn from randos in chatrooms and forums. Most of the best, highly experienced people in this industry never post in chatrooms or forums. You're getting a biased sample, and don't know what you don't know.

Will this work for low-value piecework, or learning how to use an API? Yes, for a while. But this will only take you from absolute noob to moderately competent junior. In order to grow in your career, the broader context, business knowledge, connections and intangibles you gain from being around senior colleagues are invaluable.

I say this from hard experience. At the start of my career, I thought I could learn everything I needed to know on the internet. I was wrong. Even if most of the technical details were there (they weren't) and correct (they aren't), in every career, your accomplishments are based on your personal relationships. Always. I can't emphasize this enough.

It's hard enough to make those relationships, even when you're in the office every day. Trying to do it all by video call is just living life on hard mode.

Edit: people seem to keep interpreting this comment as "it's impossible to grow in a remote career". That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm just going to respond once here:

a) I don't know if it's "impossible" to form strong personal relationships remote-only, but it's much harder.

b) Obviously, everyone defines success differently, and maybe your definition is different than my own, but

c) In my experience, all other things being equal, the more time you spend around other people, the better your career will be.
The "problem" (not really a problem in my opinion, but the main contributing circumstance) is that we all speak different languages. We can all communicate with each other using a few common languages but the majority have another native language than English. I don't think true identity-building can happen because of this. We will remain as we are, able to communicate but with distinct nationalities and identities. Not neccessarily a problem, just the way it is.
Weird how Apple is considered a luxury brand when they have half of the smartphone market in the US.

I mean, net/http does it. That's the standard library.

A go convention that I've made up, or that is perhaps a real one, is to always look at the standard library for guidance on how to write Go. net/http suffers a little bit from being a very early library and thus you might not want to emulate its API surface. But in general, the Go team thought "you know what every HTTP handler in Go needs? recovery from panics" and that is worth some weight when considering your own design.

I would personally recommend fuzz testing your code, including HTTP handlers. The more panics you find in development, the fewer customers you lose from panics in production. Remember that recovering from a panic in an HTTP handler still means your user's request didn't get processed. They are not happy about that, even if your program can still service other users.

Not at all. They are first and foremost marketplaces that are actually cutting out middlemen from the equation. Remember taxi medallions?
I don't know why this of all your comments is downvoted. The US Supreme Court is quite strongly analogous to life peers, in that they get to make legislative and even super-legislative decisions while being lifetime political appointees. And, it appears, accepting gifts.

Yes, a simple pop-up only a minor annoyance -- until most sites do it, then it becomes a really huge deal, like a tiny pebble in your shoe on a long walk.
On Bios, the BIOS executes code in the MBR (Master Boot Record) that chainloads the PBR (Partition Boot Record) of the active (or boot) flagged partition in the partition table.

The code in the PBR (Partition Boot Record) chainloads a file named BOOTMGR (which is a boot manager) that looks at what to boot in a file residing in the \boot folder called BCD (Boot Configuration Data).

Q:How do you call the partition (volume) where this stuff is?

A:System
Of the 10 largest US companies, only Google and FB could accurately be described as “advertising agencies”.

For the rest, the bulk of their revenue comes from:

- Nvidia => semiconductors

- berkshire hathaway => diversified investments

- johnson & johnson => pharmaceuticals

- Tesla => automotive + energy
Is the “being in the office really did help me” because you were in the office so figured out how to be successful in the office?

I look at GitHub and I see thousands upon thousands of highly successful highly complex software written by all levels of experience collaboratively without an office environment. I got started with open source in the 1990’s and it was amazing how fast we wrote stuff, and the level of mentoring I got was amazing. When I started working in professional office environments it was amazing how little could get done in such a long period of time with so many people, and mentoring was something I had to eek out of people who were too busy meeting and jockeying.

I think folks see in office as necessary because it was their experience and they don’t have a frame of reference for any other way of career development. That’s simply an emergent reality, not necessarily the singular reality.

Investing time in juniors is a conscious decision. It’s just as easy to ignore a junior developer in person than it is remotely. But I firmly believe asynchronous work habits lead to the best mentoring possible - juniors can ask their questions in slack or whatever, and seniors can answer as they have the chance to. Soft skill mentoring happens just fine over zoom, and that stuff is better scheduled as a private convo.
yep I just realised and edited my comment, I imagine the full question has a clearer description that OP cut down for the blog post.
