Precisely. I wish I could just tell my manager that so we could skip 1 on 1s. If I want a raise, I am going for interviews.
On mixed config, remote people will always feel and be treated as lower rank. They will miss a lot of "inside" information and personal dynamics.
It is the worse of both worlds, because the company ends up paying for an expensive but unused office.

Meanwhile, employees who strive in in-person collaboration suffer in their development.
The whole market is tilted towards "Whale" purchasers who outspend everybody else by a longshot. That's why its all gamepasses, lootboxes, and micro-transactions.

"Whales" present the same problem to video game companies as a single large customer has on a small business or a lucrative vertical in large businesses (see Google, Facebook). That outsized revenue stream dictates where the rest of the product goes because nothing brings in close to the same revenue.
Out of context: The level of detail and the quality of writing in older consumer magazines always amaze me.
When I still read architecture docs like novels, there was a group experimenting with processor-in-memory architectures. Where the
demo was Memory chips doing vector processing of data in parallel.

I wonder how wide SIMD has to get before you treat it like a CPU embedded into cache memory.

Though I guess we are already looking at SIMD instructions wider than a cache line…
You're glossing over the fact that your choice of WFH or in-office affects your coworkers too. WFH when you're the only one doing it and everyone has in-person communication all the time is much more difficult. Or if most of your team is remote, even if you want to go to the office, your communication will still have to be in chat and video calls, not in person, and you essentially end up being remote but from a different location.

So it’s more complex than you’re making it out to be - you can’t just tell people to do whatever they want; you need to align with the rest of your team/company.
Wouldn't they similarly need comparable amount of time to update all 14 microservices?

IMHO unless you have a strong engineering culture, having the same dependencies is the only way to ensure they are all properly updated (regarding security updates, and replacing deprecated dependencies/versions.)

> Unless Sennheiser can prove that the 555s are being sold at a loss, there is no "cross-subsidizing" happening here.

Nope. That's part of the misconception here. It suffices that they are being sold for less profit than the target profit margins of the company. And that's very likely the case, given the situation with the premium-tier offering. Every reasonable company cancels projects not bringing in enough profits, since shareholders want to see a return on investment. Non-zero profit is not enough.

> You talk as if "the markets" and "the economy" are some naturally occuring phenomena that are matter of fact and non-negotiable.

I'd indeed claim that market mechanisms can be treated like natural laws, just like gravity or natural selection. You can steer them with taxes or other incentives, just like you can steer how gravity or natural selection impact you. But the mechanisms themselves work no matter if you like them or not, or if you find them "evil" or not.

And I say this as a lefty who is in favor of radical inheritance tax and such. It's important to understand the thing you try to regulate.
RISC-V is copying wrong decisions made tens years ago. Against any common sense it doesn't trap on overflow on arithmetic operations, and silently wraps number over, producing incorrect result. Furthermore, it does not provide an overflow flag (or any alternative) so it is difficult to make addition of 256-bit numbers for example.
It's not uncommon that companies ask other companies to scrape their site as they don't have the tech resources to build an API / integration for whatever they want to have.
I had a student who was basically performing at a 6th grade math level despite being in 11th grade. I told that student to go through Khan Academy starting from Pre-K all the way to 12th grade and don't continue unless they achieved mastery. That student went from the C math student, to ultimately scoring a perfect score on the SAT II Math. So I highly recommend everyone start for the absolute basics, even if it feels like a blow to the ego
Obviously someone has learned a lot about communication in the Corona crisis, because in this climate thingy the communication continues exactly the same way:

* Presenting models, which allegedly can determine the coming weeks/months/year exactly in advance (I remember "Either you are vaccinated or dead until Christmas") and must never be questioned, because they are consensus in THE science (tm).

* One must fight misinformation and fake news (that is, everything that contradicts these models in terms of facts).

* THE science (tm) is only supplied by a handful of actors in the media.

Actually, every self-thinking person would have to be aware of this Wuhan virus origin theory disaster, which was first defamed as a conspiracy theory and has since been confirmed by the US intelligence services.

Any lessons learned?

And just as little as all unvaccinated people died before Christmas, just as little as the prophecies in the 80s that the children of today would no longer see trees and forests, just as little as all seals and polar bears are slaughtered and extinct, just as little arctic would be ice free 2022 - and the list could go on and on - just as little should one trust models of THE science (tm) that these accurately represent reality and should therefore be considered religious truth.

The basis of any science is critical discourse. Who defames the participants of this critical discourse from the beginning as idiots or being dumb having because of a different opinion, should rather consider whether (s)he speaks here of science or religious fanaticism.

P.S.: 2007 the "Polar View" project adjusted the original model predicting Arctic to be ice free 30 to 40 years to 15-20 years. So today. Oh no - it's still not ice free. But now WWF predicts that the Arctic is not going to be ice free in 30 years but already in 15 years. 16 years later - still predicting the same stuff over and over.
Information warfare is both more affordable, more able to be used covertly, and often more effective.

The tools totalitarian & authoritarian systems - in particular - use to keep themselves in power are often information tools. Their challenge is to suppress the population. The first challenge there-in is identifying who your potential enemies are. No bomb will tell you that. Hacking your citizens phones will tell you that. Israel's special craft here is thus immensely alluring to thr worst of the worst.
Russian IP.

The manufacturing capacity no longer exists in Russia c. 2023 so Russian MICs have begun working on IP Licensing deals with MICs in Iran, China, and India.

For a lot of weapon systems and technolgies (eg. Jet Engines, EWS, etc) Russian IP is comparable to that within NATO+.

That said, having cutting edge IP is useless when execution is badly managed (eg. A2AD, Joint Forces Operations, Logistics).

Btw, this is why you are seeing US strategymakers concentrate on the PRC now - if a mujahid with a rusty AK-47 left over in 1988 can still kill a Green Beret in Ghazni, now imagine if we are facing a nation with the technical capabilities of the US in the 1990s and 2000s.

Net profit was $1 a drink or so, apparently.
15k for a single dev over a month, sure. 15k for a team over multiple months is different though.
Every workplace demand could be cast into this mold. A conversation ender like this is not productive.

Your manager is just as much an employee and so are the leadership. The owners are often a faceless populace or a small team of owners. That's it. The negotiation is between the preferences of 1 set of employees and another set of employees. Every workplace tries to regress to the corporate mean. The employees expressing their opinions and injecting friction is how workplaces gain their identity.

In at-will-employment cultures, the owner does what is best for the company. It isn't entitlement, it is an expression of preferences and future actions. The owner then chooses what's best for him.

The recent 'return to office' push has IMO, more to do with covert layoffs and ageism than anything. The kind of people who do not want to move have social ties and are demonstrating a strong preference towards a balance between personal life and work life. Most bosses are clueless, so the only way they can evaluate employees is by how long they spend at the work place. In their impression, they can use this excuse to fire all the employees who 'would log out at 5' or 'have a family', while replacing them with *equally* talented young employees. Ofc, I think this is a fallacy, because productivity & talent are complicated. Hopefully it leads to some people continuing to stay in their new chosen town, and we see new minor tech hubs develop.
How do you define wealth, and how would you describe 1920 level of wealth ? Sure there where a lower class that didn't have toilets etc, but what about middle class?
Given that their "Command & Control" server already knows the user's IP anyway, this might be a disguise, with the actual intention being to check if Google is working from that IP, as these shady VPNs are often used to abuse the client as a proxy for SERP requests, to bypass IP-based search engine query limits (for SEO etc.).
You seem to know more about it than I do. But isn't Nanite also about automatic and continuous LOD adjustment? A big selling point is to be able to drop-in extremely detailed unoptimized meshes made by artists, and have it perform well by dynamically reducing the polygon count based on the screen real-state they take up. I guess you could call this compression too, but it is lossy compression (automatic mesh downscaling) and doesn't depend on redundancy that much.

Many of these artist-made high-fidelity meshes make heavy use of Z-brush style sculpting and procedural materials, which have similar characteristics to these randomly generated assets.
Probably 20% of fake jobs generate fake content. Startups have long become the fashion of technology and not about tech itself, as it once was. Even PG does not post on this forum because of the unsolvable problem of the wrong/fake commentator. More and more politics and fashion in IT and less technologists. There are only 28 million programmers, and all the other billions of people do not even know how it works, but they have learned how to copy and sell. Market wins!

> The democrats have not been in a position to do that for a long time, if ever.

Well, this is kind of a strange statement in my opinion.

There are 2 indisputable facts:

1) The Democrats have had >50 Senators many times.

2) Those Democrats have not abolished the filibuster.

To my knowledge, the Senate majority leader has never even scheduled a vote to abolish the filibuster entirely, regardless of whether that vote would win or lose.

So, my feeling is that the Democrats have not tried to abolish the filibuster. President Biden (former longtime Senator) has said he doesn't support abolishing the filibuster. The party has never put political pressure on its members to abolish the filibuster. The leaders aren't campaigning on it. To my knowledge, it's not in the party platform.

The inescapable conclusion, I feel, is that the Democrats don't want to abolish the filibuster. Nothing is stopping them, except themselves.
Sure, each person is free to have their own strategy. For me, I've been burned many times when commercial software was abondoned, or changed for the worst for financial reasons, or no longer works on my platform for some reason, or never gets some requested feature implemented, or is full of spy telemetry.

But I am not against commercial software and have no problem with others using it. Just not for me.

I want to cast myself as that. With remote, I don't care if you invest in me. I don't care if I get along with co-workers. I desire no advancement. I am willing to work on the boring dreck of projects.

Give me remote and you can screw up everything else. I am happy being a lifeless drone while remote.
This is where remotes are trying to force the in office people to cater to them. A proper compromise would be better microphones like lapel mics that are used in panel discussions or a single high quality conference mic. One of the reasons people want to be in an office is to have better meetings, taking that away from them is the same as taking away a WFH perk like forcing you to use a standardized work station and chair instead of your own setup or something.
Not really. Utility usage would be a good proxy to catch cheats.
That's right, there are tradeoffs. So an absolute answer isn't the right solution here and we need to come up with policies that meet everyone's needs.

To pick your first example: keeping your old home while you work abroad for a year seems not unreasonable. But demanding that you place it on the market as a rental (or sell it) if you're gone for 4-10 (!) seems likewise like a very reasonable regulation to me.
We seem to have forgotten how much the individual contributor disliked the open floor plan workplace for its sea of distractions. We remember this aspect when enough other people have returned to the office.

Shannon is such an engineering marvel as Einstein is for science. His perennial works, hobbies, papers and theses outlined the fundamentals of modern engineering foundations including digital, computer and communication systems including AI systems of early forms of chess engine, LLM, etc [1]. Kleinrock once noted that he has to pursue exotic field of queuing theory that led to packet switching and then Internet, because most of popular problems in his research field have been solved by Shannon (who was also one of Kleinrock's doctoral research study committee members).

> WFH people don’t have a reason to insist that their colleagues WFH

To insist? No. However, I think there's a reason to prefer that their colleagues WFH. Being the only WFH in a group that's otherwise all in the office together suuuuuuuucks, or at least it did in the several pre-pandemic years that I lived it. What I remember is constantly being informed of decisions that "we" had reached while I wasn't present, of every meeting being full of cross-chatter and lunch-eating so I couldn't hear, of not being able to see (let alone approach) the whiteboard, of being interrupted or cut off more than anyone else because of the latency, and so on. Most of this abated somewhat when the pandemic came along and everyone was remote, though the "hallway conversations" remained exclusive even when they were online. That might have been fixable with enough support from managers and other allies, but only if everyone had remained remote. "All remote" and "only remote" are very different experiences.

> There’s a very “my freedoms trump your freedoms” mindset to this.

Your pun is noted, and I think apropos because this does show up in politics too. The attitude that "freedom" exists only within a certain social structure with oneself at its apex, and that others' (well justified) rejection of that structure is an abridgement of one's own freedom, is unfortunately rather common.
This "feature hell" is often seen in open source projects, when users add dubious features that nobody except them needs, and as a result after many years the program has hundreds of CLI flags and settings and becomes too complex.

See openvpn as an example.
>In reality, a smart business should be grateful that there’s someone that can get shit done in less than 8 hours, it means that they can do more for you in less time, and if they’re doing non-competitive side work, maybe you should pay them more so they don’t go and do that full-time.

In my view, the biggest crime of a manager is disconnecting my incentives from my work as an IC. If I create more value, it should be a manager's top priority to create the positive feedback loop of incentives. Because why else am I doing more, then? It should seem like common sense, but every manager I've had has not been remotely interested in creating that positive feedback loop. Instead "that salary is too far out of the band for this role and wouldn't be fair to everyone else, and you have to do X,Y,and Z to qualify for this other role, and your last self-review was too honest so I'm going to use it to negotiate against you..." I've even had a manager complain about my salary being too close to his salary, as if there was some requirement for his ego that I make less than him!

Every raise or promotion I've ever had has devolved into some form of "you're giving me this or I'm going to leave", and then 9/10 times they reluctantly fork it over. There is no good faith, only power. And power is getting what you want after calling all the bluffs. Managers are adversarial, and their role is to get you to do as much as possible for as little as possible, while at the same time swallowing their pride when their bluffs are called. I hate that it is like this, because it could be a lot better. But nobody seems to know how to manage.

Don't get me wrong, I get the position that managers are in. The upper management demands they get certain results, and if they don't do it, they get replaced. But it's still a failure of the manager for not communicating effectively how creating positive feedback loops with your top performers will make everybody money. Of course this depends on the upper management to actually pick valuable things to work on...

So if you perform badly, you get paid less? Or if you perform exemplarily do you get paid more? How much do you get paid for each unit of output? Can you measure it so it's always the same, for every person, at any time?

If not, you're selling your time - not your output.

Yeah, the library problem has some (ugly) solutions in some languages, like Go allowing multiple versions as you mention, or doing JAR shading in Java. But I don't think there's a (mainstream) language that solves the problem of partially upgrading the underlying runtime. If you've got a Java monolith, it either all runs on Java 7 or Java 8, can't really do in-between.

No offense. The formula is just that easy.

In the 90ies there have been cases of starved half naked people found laying in the sun on gras in, as I remember, Switzerland. The starved ones all belonged to LUX and they believed in light and energy and a state of mind and body allowing them to eat just on light. All dead. So, this is what underpins my theory, without Input your balance is negative. With to much input the balance is positive.
