Talk to more people. I help people deal with bureaucracy in Berlin. Even in that tiny space, there is a need for software solutions. Software to generate documents, to connect people to experts, to navigate through a flowchart, etc.

Sometimes you don't sell software to people. Instead you use software to connect people to businesses. You help people as much as you can, and pocket a commission if they get stuck and hire a professional.

Sometimes you help people compare products and get a commission from the business they choose.

There are so many problems that are too small for large tech companies, but that still deserve attention. You have many opportunities to be the local wizard, and to bring magic to your community.

Android application development, how is your world?
The world of development is huge, whether it is for PC programs or games, games for consoles or mobile applications, such as mobile phones that have Android, regarding the latter I have a great doubt, how creative and innovative is it? is the world of Android application development? does anyone know? I want to know everything possible about this, do not limit yourself with the size of the messages, if you want to put a lot of text in each of the answers, do it, but I am interested in knowing everything possible about this
I agree. I misread and thought you were saying a product is enough, which is obv. not the case. You need all four things I mentioned.

Not OP but we are forced to dial into the meetings separately even if many of us are in the office and could use a whiteboard in a conference room. Remote colleagues can join the conference room remotely and at least those in office can get to have a conversation of a higher fidelity. But our company bans it for "fairness" - as in everyone must suffer Zoom equally.

Very impressive ecosystem nevertheless.

They are also all more affordable and more readily available than they ever been in the history of this mankind. I couldn’t be happier with these deals… I don’t think you are making the argument you think you are.
It might be more general than that: imaginary problems are at the root of bad___

Where ___ could be something produced like software (or furniture, etc.), or theorised such as scientific theorems (as even though thought experiments are useful, if we don’t go beyond them, we are often lead to bad science), etc.
I agree with your point that whatever the number, they weren’t expecting that surge right now. The actual number is barely relevant.
A quasi- bell curve function, is it not? Could paraphrase "on average, content is average". Not trying to be facetious. But sifting out large quantities of general dross has been a common requirement 'in tech' since before the days of perusing CDROMs full of shareware on dial-up bulletin boards.
I live in Europe. We just use standard bank transfers.
I wonder if lacking this behaviour by default extra incentivizes ephemeral reads and many pages. Though maybe there isn't much motivation for implementing it to begin with because the web ecosystem already heavily incentives this situation so sites don't consider it. It also seems like the most dependable split reading experience of a single webpage is to just offline save because pages online can easily change and go dead on you over time. And so maybe that is why apps for saving the web end up being where features like saving reading position or highlighting are instead implemented.

For comments, I partially dealt with the issue by writing a bookmarklet that highlights the latest comments and jumps to the next one on the page with each click of it. It works pretty well for finding current activity, cutting across deep threads later in a discussions timeline, and seeing what I wouldn't have earlier.
Have you worked with labeling services before? The quality is always terrible. At least with an LLM I can get consistently terrible output, quickly.
> But even us as humans (or anything with biological intelligence) infers the rules from data.

No, I don't agree with this. My point is that we can learn from higher level information than raw data.

I can give you the formula of a complex mathematical function over 3 variables, and provide no data points.

You'll be able to tell me with perfect accuracy what values match the formula and which don't.
> There was no shortage of TiO₂ in the US.

But the article says that the US lacked the ore:

“Back when they were building the airplane the United States didn’t have the ore supplies – an ore called rutile ore. It’s a very sandy soil and it’s only found in very few parts of the world.”

Also, the Wikipedia link above doesn’t show the US to be major producer. It does show ex-Soviet block countries to be major producers.

I mean, you might be right about importing the metal rather than ore. I’m commenting only about whether the ore is widely available in the US.
In the first instance, both. However, i'd take more code that was better reasoned and easily understood over less verbose code that was smaller for smaller sake.

In terms of minimal change, we refactor when there's a clear business case to permit taking on the risk. Otherwise, we make the most minimal, most stable, least risk change to the existing code even if that code isn't optimal/pretty/well-structured/has-errors/...

Like most other engineering in the world really.
This one too.

Interesting, hadn’t seen that package, thanks. The general pattern seems quite useful, is it implemented in any SQL ORMs?

Seems like you could do the same batching/coalesce strategy for async Postgres for example, but I don’t see anything after a quick scan of the docs in SQLAlchemy. (Seems like it would be feasible since they already batch requests in unit-of-work, they just don’t coalesce to bulk operations AFAICT.)
> 400 kW CCS chargers are being deployed while Tesla's chargers still max out at 250 kW

The EVBox literature discusses 400kW per station, but each station has two CCS cables that can share that power. Since the max power delivery of CCS2 is 350kW I suspect EVbox are clickbaiting their headline and the truth is that 400kW is only delivered across both connectors (200kW each), not to a single connector.

Tesla’s V4 Superchargers, on the other hand, can deliver 600kW, and have been rolling out since March. The Tesla NACS hardware can carry 1 megawatt, unlike CCS2’s 350kW.

This person seems to leave out some info. A previous coworker spent some time as GC employee. He would tell stories of each month's jip awards to the employees that brought in the most jip. There's the price on the sticker, and then there's the absolute lowest price GC will sell for. As the comment in that thread suggests, buying from GC is something to not be done without researching first. Similar to buying a car

Same experience with ZITADEL and Ory. Posted more details on ZITADEL below in this discussion.
My practical experience is that there is no way of separating the two things, friendship and co-worker. And I believe there is more to lose than to gain in this arrangement. When a problem comes up I rather not argue with my friend (sorry, co-worker) about how my position is right and his is wrong.

Maybe they funded it?
This has been my experience as well. Some word of mouth counterexamples exist yet are not the norm.

I think it's especially hard to appreciate sales+marketing since they seem so ephemeral while tech is concrete. Sadly there also also too many examples of marketing getting too far ahead of the product, over promising, or devaluing engineering.

Best is definitely a balance, where all sides respect others' work and can see both the effort and its benefits.
What wound proper ideological diversity look like? Or, which ideologies are underrepresented which would make this a better place, in your opinion?

It doesn’t seem like a monoculture to me: depending on the topic there is usually at least two or three significantly different viewpoints. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to have more, but it doesn’t jump out at me as a glaring deficiency.
Thank you for downvoting, guys ...

For the security comment, I was thinking they were talking about authorization.

According to GraphQL, authorization belongs in the business logic layer[1].
A lot of projects ignore this advice and put it into the resolvers. This decentralized approach can be difficult to maintain and keep correct.

Oh absolutely. It's on my contingency TODO list.
What's your favorite versions? I've watched the UK and NZ ones (and I know the US one isn't worth it), but I haven't gotten into the non-English ones yet.
We've used Twilio, Nexmo (now Vonage), and Plivo for years.

Twilio is still our go-to for US SMS.

Nexmo has great international deliverability but is more expensive than Plivo.

Plivo works fine when it works. When it doesn't, their support is horrible. Most times I don't even bother opening a ticket anymore. I just switch the customer to Nexmo.

I tried A2P 10DLC registration on Twilio when it first came out and our deliverability went to less than 50%. I quickly switched if off.

They're all going to start requiring A2P 10DLC registration for US SMS within a few months. It's going to be painful to get timely SMS delivered.
About 10 years ago, I worked on a project where I had to develop some sort of elaborate chain of map/reduce jobs because "big data" and "Hadoop." We were processing about 10 megabytes for each run. Most of the processing was consumed in job scheduling / overhead.
Then you didn't read the SDS.
I tried many books and I think as of today the official tutorial is really good.
If you try self paced learning I recommend to use at least two books and practice. Chatgpt might help with questions as well.
Try to focus ob concepts not to achieve specific goals too fast.
It takes some time and practice to get into it. It helps a lot to understand all the things around like dns, http and how tcp works.

Congrats! Sounds pretty amazing coming right on the heels of your decision to go full time. I have so many questions — hope you’ll put out an update when you’re done celebrating ;)
That is the sort of thing I'd think LLMs (with suitable training data, that's not overrun with promotional material) would be good at. I've had ChatGPT recommend technologies to me before that I hadn't thought of or didn't know (much) about.
Honestly it's hard to tell, but Mullvard seems to be one of the last options.

The problem I have with all the "checks" that press foundations do is that none of them seem to know what they're talking about in regards to what tech is trustworthy and audited, and what is not.

I found a nice article about it, skimmed through it and seems to be true and reflect my own research that I did for my cyber defense network [1]

The US "intelligence" apparatus created a particular cover story. There's no actual information as to what the USSR actually believed at the time. If they weren't particularly interesting in competing in aerial surveillance then it may have been seen as worth the money they got in return. They were already in the business of exporting it, it's not as if we got them to create a special market based on this cockamamie story.

It does make great propaganda for the supposed capabilities of the CIA, though.
Theranos did well for a while /s (but matches that narrative!)
"And also why the most frequent request from the users is: Please don't change anything."

I think it is: "Please don't change anything I did not request"

(who does not hate updates that break your workflow?)

But they usually very much like changes, that makes life easier for them. Best way to find out, is to watch them using your tool and talk with them.
Why would anything still be the way it was 60 or 70 years ago?
"Also there's something really offputting about the 'get it done' phrase/mentality for public companies." This really resonates with me. I work at a larger company and sometimes get pressure to finish work faster. I don't know why I should, what I'm working on is clearly not critical to the company. At lot of this "work faster" is just there to meet arbitrary and questionable scrum practices. The only thing the manager cares is that I got x mount of story points done this sprint.
The word fiefdom (and fief) dates to 17th century French. The older word used in England was fee (spelled various other ways) and it is unclear whether it comes from a Teutonic or Romance language or what the ultimate etymology is. There are some theories of it relating to an Old High German word for wages or a Teutonic word relating to feeding livestock.

In general I think this kind of etymological approach to understanding the law is probably not so good.
> Most of the time if a home user is reinstalling Windows the setup is picking up on the license 'embedded' on the device in the BIOS/EFI so you don't ever get the key prompt. If you're using multi-edition and volume license ISOs you're often asked for the key to select edition.

Moreover, doesn't give you the option. This is a bugbear of mine—it took me half a day to install 10 Pro on a laptop that came with a key for Home.
They're talking more in terms of “if we wanted to maximize the time spent in transit”:

“[…] Several studies considered radiation doses during 500- and 1000-days flights, according to NASA plans (Drake et al., 2009). However, there is still no clear answer about optimal flight conditions that would enable the longest mission duration. In this study, we present the net radiation doses from SEP and GCR radiation as an accumulated dose during a spaceflight, dependent on flight duration and launch date for the time period between 1998 and 2006. […] Our simulations show that for solar cycle 23 and aluminum shielding, the mission duration–assuming a 1 Sv mission limit–should not exceed approximately 4 years.”

I paid Plex for a lifetime pass a long time ago and unless something changes, I will likely never pay them again and somehow I expect more features.

So it’s not surprising they’re looking at other sources of revenue if they expect to continue paying for developers, hosting and the entire company.

I also don’t see how ripping with youtube-dl is relevant. They need a legal source from somebody, maybe with a SLA, that they can sign a contract with, not set up some hack.
Lobste.rs is open source (https://lobste.rs/about), and they say that the software is being used to run some sister sites (list here: https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/wiki). I'm not sure how easy it is to just grab and run, though.

I did not know that Spectacle Island was real.

It featured prominently in Zodiac, the old Neal Stephenson book, but sounded a bit wild to be a real thing.
That's still an utterly misleading headline, as it's talking about the transit time, not the time spent on mars itself.
I recently had issues with getting wifi up to my workshop, i considered several options like wiring up ( roughly 40-50m of cabling) I decided the easiest way ( and honestly the most ridiculous) was a full point to point antenna system, mikrotik has a very cheap solution for ap antennas For external use I would look at that if it’s applicable.
If we're looking at how many pies there are in the world-- yes, that's zero sum.

But if we're considering utility-- how useful stuff is to me-- it is far from zero sum.

Same. The first season was enough for me. Never again.
The problem is when it takes x10 longer is x10 more expensive and sucks. The trick is to align both the short term and the long term.

Deliver that short term faster, and deliver it in a form that aligns and/or informs the long term.

I was curious about the history of the iPod so was reading up on it. Apple took 8 months from zero to announcement and the product was available one month later. That was Nov 2001. The iPod touch still sells today. There's lots of details under that but you don't really see that kind of execution any more IMO.
It eliminates your main use cases for VPNs (and while it's a shame that the feature is being pulled, port forwarding has always been ripe with abuse).

I formerly worked in the consumer VPN space (an older, but once quite big player), and use cases go from content access (including everything from getting US Netflix from Germany, to sidestepping national firewalls), to general-purpose paranoia about IP logging by websites. There are also lots of cases that get marketed a bit too liberally by companies like Nord, Express, and the hydra that is Kape, like that VPNs can add meaningful security to submitting payment information online; this is despite the fact that it's harder than ever to MITM payment sites.

It's generally agreed that the state of public Wi-Fi combined with evolving web standards and sky-high HTTPS adoption makes VPNs largely, though definitely not completely obsolete for protecting yourself against someone sniffing traffic at Starbucks.

Having said all that: if you need a VPN and a lack of port-forwarding isn't a dealbreaker, I wholeheartedly recommend Mullvad. My former company never worked with them directly but our team had immense respect for their integrity, ethics, and approach to developing a quality product.
> Revising the cable and plug IS the complicated bit, actually,

It is not. CCS has had one revision already. You also seem to be misunderstanding that all that's going to happen is Tesla's plug will be put on CCS chargers, just as Tesla chargers have CCS type 2 combo plugs on them.

Tesla's chargers talk CCS. They are CCS chargers. How do you think they work in Europe? How do you think they're going to charge all cars in North America?

> CCS2 hardware is 350kW capable.

Sure, kid. That's why those 400 kW CCS chargers exist.

> Let’s not pretend it would be trivial to upgrade CCS2 to megawatt capability, with so much legacy deployment to upgrade.

Charger cables get replaced all the time.
Absolutely. I knew this project before the inclusion of AI and thought higher of it. I was about to compare it to py-spy and the “use ML to make code suggestions” feature is a turnoff.
"PERIOD"? Really? Is that supposed to somehow convince me?

Your problem is not remote work, your problem is that you seem to work in a toxic environment. And judging by the discussion style you employ here, it could also be that you're used to rely more on intimidation than arguments. That indeed doesn't work nearly as well in an e-mail.

Now, I have worked in remote-first teams, in an office-first team that during Covid was suddenly forced to become a remote-first team and in one of those oh-so-dreaded "mixed" teams. The latter has some challenges but nothing that cannot be worked out. And you will find assholes, that report their own account of events to the boss all the time, in the office as well.

What I never encountered was, that quickly getting a few colleagues together to exchange ideas about a problem would be some kind of challenge. You post to the group channel, quickly explain the problem and ask people to join a short call. Done.
Early Twilio engineer here. There was never really all that much unique ground breaking technology work being done, we used open source tools running on AWS to build the core products. Our differentiators were reliability and user experience. Both of those came from how the organization was built and run. There was an obsession with uptime and DevOps, with a carefully guarded culture of collaboration and blameless postmortems when things went wrong. Empowering individual engineers and product designers to call out when things sucked really went a long way, and is really hard to scale. Initially managers and directors had very little power over the actual makers and maintainers, which lead to a lot of quality. A few years post-IPO we hit a scale where a lot of that culture began to fall apart. That’s when I made my exit/was pushed out.
I haven't heard of any, the classic 'allowed languages' pages of tech companies come to mind.
