My CV is styled as a manpage and always seemed to be well received by technical interviewers. I’m not sure how successful it would be with recruitment agents though.

The first time it landed me a job, I eventually went to introduce myself to the CTO and he said “oh I know who you are, you’re the guy with the manpage CV”.
The problem with dedicated IC career paths are that they aren't respected outside of core tech companies. At some point if you want to switch industries you could be looking at a massive pay cut. I noticed this in FAANG. Okay, you get to IC8, you're a master of the universe. Realistically you can only take that credibility with you to other FAANG. If you're a manager/director, you can take that with you anywhere and the comp bands will be more comparable.

There are of course exceptions if you are a true rock star and have worked on/led household-name projects as an IC. But again, if you jump ship, you might end up in a manager-esque role anyway. Once you reach a certain level of seniority/experience you are just way more valuable in the force-multiplying role of "leader" than anything you can do with your hands on the keyboard.

> Software developers, who distribute through their websites, have an economic incentive to not give users malware

You're putting way too much faith in the efficient market fallacy. In reality, proprietary software companies are incentivized to distribute malware to increase their own control and their bottom line. Prominent examples being BonziBuddy, Sony Rootkit, Denuvo, all the crapware that comes bundled with Android/Windows, web ads, web surveillance, etc. Like every other day there is a new HN topic about how some company violated the trust they had built and screwed over users.
That'll be the last we hear of that, if it works, because he won't like the answer.
To make this happen, we need better open source forum software. A group of us have been searching for a good self-hosted forum to replace /r/BuyItForLife and have trialed quite a few, but they are just... Really bad.
Also a lot of projects in sandbox or incubation are “finding themselves” so to speak. It’s what used to happen when a project would release a v1 that’s really mostly a POC, then have some major overhauls/rewrite in v2/v3. At least in theory by “graduation” or v3, you know that this thing has a non-trivial user base, fairly defined in what it does and how it does it. Some independent reviews and established patterns etc.

Nothing protecting them from rotting or dying or breaking obviously, but at least you know you won’t be shouting at it alone.

Does that bother you for some reason? All of TV audiences have plummeted for individual shows, because we're all watching different things now.

But I think the majority of late night viewing may be on YouTube the next day. It certainly seems to be thriving there. At least when there isn't a writer's strike.

I don't know why you personally want talk shows shut down. Many millions of people enjoy them, and if that pays their bills, then what does it matter to you?

It's not like 12:00 am is a super coveted slot that they're taking away from something else that would be more popular at that time.
In theory it shouldn't be hard to block Threads. If they're only using one domain for all their users it's trivial to block it.

But privacy is not the issue with Threads. The issue with Threads is that they're going to attempt to destroy the Fediverse through standard Embrace, Extend, Destroy tactics.

You see this with Bluesky as well. The point is to interoperate when it's in your interests and then break interoperability when you have enough of the audience. Thus, thereby capturing the lion's share of the audience.

Just wait. Threads will soon have a 'new feature' that only works with Threads and that does not work on other Fediverse nodes. Then they'll try and poison the standards bodies working on ActivityPub. They could increase the velocity of new 'features' to ActivityPub so fast that unpaid OSS developers couldn't keep up. Like Google and that cartel do with browsers. Eventually Meta and maybe a couple other large players will control the standards, or atleast make it obtuse enough to prevent new entrants. This playbook is tried and true.

Oh goodness. Let's talk about web-based print.

Over the decades, we've gone from non-web typesetting like troff/nroff/groff-t, TeX to first-gen DTP like InterLeaf to often-deceptively-marketed XSL toolchains [0] to vendors like Prince.

Somewhere in there, W3C created Paged Media Module Technical Group for CSS3, which would - someday!! - integrate CSS @media calls to support true typesetting and layout . . just from the web! Wow!

Oh wait . . that was around 2004.

So, since the PMM TG has been, I don't know, making paperclip men for two decades[1], others have taken that bull by the horns and implemented their own web print systems. Or selling them, for . . for a LOT of money; Prince is basically a closed-source CSS PMM implementation.

Disclaimer: I use Asciidoc for everything, so asciidoctor-web-pdf comes to mind. It's built on Paged.JS/Puppeteer (https://pagedjs.org), so issues might lag because of the Puppeteer dependency. On the plus side, it's integrated into Antora (https://antora.org/), so, hey, hello git-based pdf scheduler. How ya doin?

Back in the day, FlyingSaucer was the tech for web print; I've seen and wrenched it in a dozen different S1000D stacks. Its current incarnation is the ubiquitous openhtmltopdf and its descendants, it still has huge adoption in the Android ecosystem.

ReLaXed is the father of all JS web print implementations, but it's been dormant for awhile. I wouldn't use it directly. Besides, most of it lives on in Paged.js and others.

Vivliostyle is another great implementation on JS , based on the Chromium renderer rather than riding hard on Puppeteer. It's also got a really great widget that allows you to mark up HTML pages for reviews. Very neat.

Sorry, WeasyPrint. You're rad, but you're on Python, and none of my customers have been cool with that. If Python is cleared for your environment though, check it out. The svg handling is tight.

[0] I'll talk about that later. Let's not go into the afternoon angry.

[1] OK OK, I get it: the user base for web-pdf is always tiny in comparison to web frameworks. Most of the rest of the world has moved on from complex print, and, I mean, seriously, why not? HTML + JS + CSS does anything, and without Acrobat, and with control over load, AND without conditionals for print focused stuff, like trimming SVGs, or color profiles, or a million other things. AND AND AND. BUT. Aerospace, though, we're a print-focused business, we need the dead tree simulator. And so I've been riding this stupid donkey for twenty years now.

It's also not a "fair" comparison because twitter was born before smartphone penetration and the "mobile first" thing. They launched on the web first, like Facebook, and probably would love to wall things off more and lock out the web, but can't now. (Though Musk clearly made an effort a couple weeks ago by requiring log in to view any tweets, he's had to partially roll that back, though not fully)

When I went looking at any of the various new social network startups that have tried to get into the market all of them -- except the fediverse/open-source/hacker type projects -- were mobile only, even some after years of being on the market. Clearly highly motivated to keep a mobile-only moat around things.
> A major part of the rise of online streaming is... Lack of ads.

Sorry but ads are the new normal when subscribing to most streaming services.

Netflix CEO in 2019: "Netflix will never have ads." Three years later, Netflix is "excited" to launch an ad-supported tier. This came shortly after a price jump on all of its plans, of course.

We pay for Amazon Prime ($140/yr) more for the streaming than the "free" shipping or other perks. But increasingly, more and more content in the Prime library can only be "rented" or "bought", or watched "free with ads." The quality of the content that is available to watch "with Prime" (i.e. without paying even more) is going steadily downhill. The bargain DVD bin at my local grocery store has a better selection.

We also have occasional access to Hulu, Disney, Peacock and whatever else through friends and family and it seems like the shows on all of these have ads on them. (Or at least most of them do?)

I was quite happy to pay a monthly fee to watch stuff ad-free. Now since that is quickly not becoming an option, I may have to pull my wooden leg and eye patch out of storage.
Could be but it doesn't really need to be the case. Everyone can send many times more customized applications per unit of time, perhaps so quickly that its not worth much consideration of an offer before it is ready to send.
Did it ever go anywhere? I think it just takes a company of a certain size to be able to have a (formal, with some kind of written scope or responsibility anyway) IC track.

Imagine a little start-up with a 'Distinguished Engineer' and slew of Principals and Staffs, it'd seem a bit weird wouldn't it? Even if they distinguished themselves elsewhere. Maybe it's just me.

An observation - many people brag about things like cheating in school "because everybody does it", or other excuses. When other people hear these, they smile and nod and move them to the "do not trust" list in their heads. The cheaters unwittingly miss out on a lot of opportunities that way.

Barbie seems to be in that brilliantly satirical self-aware position. It plays on our expectation of what the material should be and gives it to us in a way that is simultaneously sincere and flippant.

Everyone involved seem to be able to walk that line and have the comedic skill necessary to come across as sincere in absurd situations.

As to the meme. That's just from the hilarity of this and Oppenheimer opening the same weekend. Similar openings happen all the time. Because it's a way for studios to not fight for the same dollar. At first people were laughing at the idea of Barbie crushing Oppenheimer at the box office, but that slowly morphed into the idea of just seeing both.

And since no company is never going to say no to more money, of course they got behind the idea.
Notes on a New Philosophy of Empirical Science (2011)
I think the 'correct' (from the perspective of getting an interview) approach would be to personalize your resume to include skills that are called out in the listing, even if you've just read a tutorial on it. Not to list a ton of irrelevant skills.

An example would be if you had 5 years of experience in AWS and only a few tutorials of GCP for experience, but the listing specifically wants GCP skills, you list it.

Not a case where you have 5 years of backend experience and start applying to senior frontend positions because you went through a React tutorial.

To be fair, most conferences are fungible. You can meet the people you'll meet there elsewhere, at another conference or at other events like meetups. If for some reason SIGGRAPH is really the one place where you expect to meet the folks you must meet, then yeah ditch the hike and go. But if there's other conferences you can go to and achieve the same effect, I would go to the other conferences, and go hike with my gf.
Sure, if by "scary warning" you mean the click through nags that Windows pops up early and often (sometimes multiple times for a single action) and that have trained generations to ignore software warnings and dialogs in general.

I think for a lot of mastodon users it's more about being part of a specific ideologically aligned in-group than it is about anything else (this post touches on a lot of stuff that makes overtures to that).

The irony to me is that any chance of relevance for a protocol is obviously going to need big players like meta to sign up (and that's a good thing for the protocol).

A weird set of circumstances might have aligned where meta sees an advantage in being part of a federated protocol to commoditize a threat to themselves (twitter, bluesky, etc.) and still hold a dominant position in quality of the end user clients (which is the only thing 99% of users care about).

It's a little funny a lot of the mastodon hosts are up in arms about this, but not that surprising when considering what they're actually getting out of being part of it (the identity stuff that comes along with being a mastodon user).

I'd guess similar stuff was said during the eternal september era of the web itself - simply being an internet user was no longer an identity that meant something culturally specific.

Theres definitely stockpiles of nuclear weapons out there, but they're a fraction of what they were 40 years ago, and really up until the last few years relations between the West and Russia have been less tense - Not to say there hasn't been friction from all the effort put into influencing politics in the West or assassination attempts on Western soil that have definitely soured things.

For reference, the big cultural fear when I was young was terrorism and rogue states, and then around adulthood it was ISIS and the like. These things still exist, but the cultural focus here has shifted for a while.

You're right, add an asterisk for games. My whole point is the nerd will get stuck/fixated on his original way of doing things, which for a Windows nerd (like my past self) is spending your meager cash to cobble together a custom pc powerful enough to play games as a child/teenager, and pirating everything possible. Windows was The Best OS Ever (because you have no choice) - just like your [Xbox|PS2] was the Best Console Ever (because you couldn't afford both).

Of course, the adult version of this nerd will be able to weave much better post-hoc rationalizations. Head on over to ars technica or reddit or macrumors or linustechtips video comments for thousands of examples.

Do you think that greenhouse gases are in any way related to this temperature increase, which coincidentally happened over the same 100-ish years during which humans were extracting and burning millions of years worth of carbon sink?

I interviewed somewhere with an ex-Googler who revealed they cache all of the search results for terms they have seen before, then when they update the index they also update the cached results. From that perspective, fast search results aren't actually that exciting since you can constantly run a background task to update the cached results and just serve those as the requests come in. This caching and response time seem orthogonal to the speed of the actual act of calculating search results.
What's amazing is that, with all the internal Twitter info Musk is privy to, he is still getting sucked in.

I remember saying to friends "isn't it a bit of a liability how Twitter is becoming the 'official' outlet for so many organisations, including the government?" back in like 2011 or whenever it was breaking into the mainstream. At the time there hadn't been any major controversies that I recall, so it looked like I was tilting at windmills a bit. It is nice to finally feel like I'm not the crazy person now, after a decade. Though it was quite disillusioning to see how many people wildly swung their view on whether it was a good idea to have one company controlling so much of society's discourse, based entirely on whether they agreed with the company's current leadership's politics, not on principle

People have become so obsessed with movies and TV franchises, but I wonder if by adding enough sadism and masochism to the process of trying to watch TV and movies, media companies will eventually succeed in changing the tides and pushing people to find other hobbies.

> Janus was designed to fly to two binary asteroids—consisting of two bodies near one another—that orbit the Sun closer to Earth than the metallic asteroid Psyche. While the Psyche mission can still reach its asteroid destination and accomplish its science mission with a launch this year, the asteroids targeted by Janus will have changed positions in the Solar System by too much since last year. They are no longer accessible to the two Janus spacecraft without flying too far from the Sun for their solar arrays to generate sufficient power.

Calling this a funding issue seems strange. They missed the launch window. Yeah you could potentially pump more money in and use them for something else, but that's not the reason they aren't launching. That sufficient additional money can make a problem go away doesn't typically mean lack of money is the problem.
