> Why would you actively choose a position that would be considered anti-social instead of a position that would be considered pro-social if they have the same objective grounding?

This simplifies away some crucial details about the actual situation.

For example, I have limited time and opportunities. Spending 200 hours making a piece of software more handicap-friendly may mean 200 hours less of being a good parent to my kids. Or working at a homeless shelter.

We can probably agree that all 3 activities are "pro social" in some manner. But I can't tackle all of them. Part of growing up is accepting that you can't do everything.

I'm open to changing my priorities, but not without good justification.
Hi, I wrote the article 4 years ago. So, slightly within your 5 years timeframe.

There are still plenty of services in the UK which are only available by voice.

I may be "an outlier" but it was my lived reality. At the time I was travelling to and speaking at multiple events per week. Why should I be able to do that when others are prevented?

In the last 4 years the situation with subtitles has improved slightly. But there are still plenty of shows on Netflix and Apple+ with no subtitles or - perhaps worse - shitty subtitles.

I'm really pleased that you haven't experienced any of these barriers. Can I please encourage you to find something that you think might be a challenge and spend a few weeks building up your empathy?
I'm sure there are a few different store layout concepts over time. However you don't need a membership at Costco to eat at the food court or use the pharmacy, purchase alcohol in some states so if we applied the "Ikea" model those would be in the back to have someone "see" all the things they are missing by not being a member. For the paper towels, toilet paper, drinks they are probably regularly stocked items which if you were unloading tucks full of them you wouldn't want to be moving huge quantities all the way to the front of the store. Lastly, i'm sure its also a combination of flow control. Get everyone to the back of the store then filter toward the front building some buffers in line queue volume and getting bunched up in one single area. If you walk in the door and thats where the paper towels, toilet paper, milk, etc is then just getting in the store would be a problem.

All speculation of course, but to me the "Ikea" model didn't seem to fit.
At the current FAANG I work for, managers are so consumed by organizational overhead that there’s plenty of room for IC (ie staff engineer) to influence direction.

Not sure if this applies at the VP level.
My apologies, an implicit bias is showing. Updated!

While this is true, the same protein, even the same gene, often serve different purposes in different species. So even if we figure a problem out in mice down to the gene level it might not yield any results in humans. That's also the reason why the majority of drugs that have a positive outcome when trialed on mice don't yield positive results in human trials.

In a field as young as software, three decades is too long for almost any software tool to remain frozen. Many new ideas might have built up — especially as the world around you (and needs) changes. You might keep writing extensions for your tool, or release periodic updates, or freeze your tool and call it “done”, and write a new tool every few years… they are all different ways to handle the same underlying mechanics.

Exactly this.

I remember regularly taking text-to-speech calls from a non-speaking Mac customer when I worked on tech support at an ISP back in 1998. Must have reconfigured MacPPP a dozen times before we finally got him up and running. He had the patience of a saint…

In the UK Ofcom require telcos to provide such services to their customers. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/phones-telecoms-and-internet/advice...

This is absolutely the right solution to the problem, instead of insisting that every single organisation have such an in-house service.

The double standards are shocking. If a woman says "if he cheated on me like that, I'd (fill in horrid genital mutilation)" and everyone has a laugh about it or cheers her on. If a man responds in kind, people are mortified, too shocked to even speak condemnation. Likewise for prison rape. It seriously troubles me how many people celebrate the prospect of that happening to male convicts. If you suggested it as a fitting punishment for a female offender, you might not even exit the room you uttered the words in unharmed.
Apple's Metal GPU profiler is excellent. And it works even if you're using it through WebGPU from C++ compiled outside of XCode.

Among other things, when you click on a draw command it shows you a thumbnail of the changes it made on the screen. It does this by saving and re-running the entire window render, highlighting the one command.
Interesting that they decided to stick with Sourceforge after the malware debacle.
It is in our own interests to see that the things we consume live with dignity, I think. Better for them, better for us, spiritually and materially. Not so expensive to do either. That we can demean the lives of animals to reduce costs should not be seen as a saving but as a profound moral compromise.
Not sire if what you’re looking for, but cachgind does some measures in that sense. It’s from the same toolbox as valgrind.

Alternatively, the perf tools can show some values from the performance counters.

If you’re on intel, there is some interesting tooling in that sense (can’t recall the name now, sorry!). I’d love to see similar tooling for arm :(
> While Lykon maintains he'll readily concede to Rutkowski, he said he believes he is acting on behalf of the greater good.

Sounds pretty unethical. :(
This view takes for granted the effort required to figure out who should do what and when.
My observation has been that unless you are amazingly charismatic or a force of nature, as an engineering manager much of your value is in your ability to understand your specific companies unspoken intricacies such as:

* who the different personalities are within the specific
organization in order to get things done and who's opinion you need to take into account and who you can safely ignore

* who you can escalate to in order to get more resources (perhaps get a email pushed up to the CEO if needed) and who to apologize to if things go bad

* when to let your team self-manage and when you're going to need to assert your opinion

These are all highly specific to an organization.

The two ways to achieve this are through being in the trenches and observing for many years or have the social skills to hack your way in.

As such I think the interview for an engineering manager would be less than straightforward than a standard fizz buzz test.

More importantly if you do somehow pass the gatekeepers to such a job, your ability to actually hack into the new organization in order to keep your job for more than a year becomes a challenge.
I did not know that, but should have expected it.

May I suggest that you get your IP transit from he.net ?
Thank you, thatʼs it: one of the biggest validations of the methodology for reconstructing languages. – Little nitpicks, if you allow:

- Saussure reconstructed only two of the three consonants now called “laryngeals” and called them “coefficients sonantiques”. Saussureʼs two sounds would be h₂ and h₃ in modern notation. The Danish linguist Möller added the third (h₁) and suggested that they were laryngeals.

- In Hittite, not all of the laryngeals are preserved: the Hittite sound transcribed as “ḫ” is certainly not a reflex of h₁, which had no reflexes in Hittite, and it certainly is a reflex of h₂. Whether it can also be a reflex of h₃ is contested.

(Edit: Your explanation below about the coloring by laryngeals is also correct in principle; just the specific example is problematic: because of Latin “ovis”, Greek “ὄις” we know that the late PIE form was “Howis” with “o” not “a”, either from “h₃éwis” with “h₃e” → “o” or from “h₂ówis”. The Hittite word you quoted may be evidence for the latter: “h₂ówis” → Hittite “ḫawis” with uncontested “h₂” → “ḫ”.)
Thanks!

A reason downtown Houston may “suck” is because there are too few homes and thus it becomes a wasteland on the weekends and evenings. Mixed use districts with high density of residential will draw in stores, nightlife venues, and restaurants. It will also drive demand for bike and mass transit.

Moreover, there are many urban downtowns that don’t “suck’, such as Boston and NYC that are still facing a challenging commercial real estate market. Additional residential in this metros will be quickly snapped up and drive demand for nearby offices.
Learning elisp is indeed absolutely not required. But it is hard to use emacs for many years without learning a bit if elisp by osmosis.
That doesn't mean the people will come back to support those businesses though. In the case of SF, since there is only office space downtown and almost zero housing, this is going to be a problem of finding tenants than it is about lowering rents. Who's going to want to open a retail space where there is no foot traffic?
This is exactly why so many companies have staff+ levels in the first place. Managers are there to handle the people and politics which gives the ICs space to do the technical side of departmental leadership.
Yup, and it was predominantly driven by the UK trying to slow down integration.

But, because they pushed for enlargement, they then felt obliged to open their markets to the countries immediately, and that was definitely one of the drivers of the Brexit vote.

You are spot on.

Part of the problem is that “worst case” is “ideal outcome” to some, and those “some” have a disproportionate level of influence.
I'm so huge I've received complaints... ever since I switched to Lisp!
I've been talking about the helpfulness or harmfulness of investors' buying housing, which your comment does not address AFAICT.
I'm inclined to disagree here. Their role here is akin to a driving instructor. Regardless of whether the primary driver is a human student or a AI, their job was to supervise the operation of the vehicle. They did not do it and someone died. There's room to pass the buck around to be sure, but I think that was reflected in the sentencing.
I know someone who did what you describe, but in her case it was legitimate. She could walk, though slowly, but had great difficulty with ramps and stairs, and would be in pain for a couple days after standing for a long time, so genuinely needs help to get through airports.
This would be interesting as a one-off thing, like reddit's "The Button". Having it say "The sky has fallen 989 times." makes it a bit meaningless.
I grew up used to reading subtitles. Listening to the original voices and languages is super interesting to me. Besides some very specific cases (I can't look at the screen all the time) I don't have any use for dubbing.
Exactly, the reason the other alternatives feel better, is not because of how they work, but because of the tooling.

Ideally you charge for deliverables or outcomes, not for your time.

Does your auto mechanic or plumber or doctor charge by the hour? No, they give you a price for what you need. And they base their price on both market value and their cost (including their time).

Fixed fee for a large project can go wrong badly because early mistakes or missed requirements can set the schedule back and increase the complexity of the work. Break big projects into smaller tasks that you can reliably estimate. Review progress with the customer frequently. Know the business value of your work, not just how long it will take.
That sounds like a real power-move from a top-tier mind.
Back in the day when Dad earned $10k/year and saved 30% he had the full house price in ten years ($30k), so it was much easier to have a much larger percentage as a downpayment, or in fact, not get a loan at all.

Now saving 30% a year of a $78k income means you have to save for 20 years to have the full price of the house. ($480k), so you're forced to get a loan, and likely a much bigger loan
Sourceforge has new owners AFAIR.
+1 and I'll bump it up a notch... not only should you ignore REST you should ignore URLs. You want to write protocols, not APIs. Redis, for example, has a better "API" than any web API I've used. Easy to use, easy to wrap, easy to extend and version. HTTP is the other obvious example that I shouldn't have to go into.

It has several does-not-play-well failure modes that vscode remote doesn't. My favorite is that if I have an ssh out and the session goes down, then (in a way not unlike how a terminal ssh'd out will act if the session goes dead) emacs will just freeze. But apart from those, it's super-great and I do love being able to just treat some random data on some random server or user as a buffer and bring to bear on it everything you can hit a buffer with. That decontextualization, that fitting of one abstraction (the buffer) to so many contexts, is one of the best things about emacs.

Yes, vscode does what it does by installing a remote on the target machine and operating from there.
> If you’re on Windows, PuTTYgen should work

If you're on Windows you can `wsl --install` and work with Linux (eg Ubuntu 2204).

You can also install Git Bash which comes with ssh and ssh-keygen.

I don't use musl, so I don't have a horse in this race, but I wouldn't use it anyways because of issues like this one.

This is the comment section on a website. Here we are discussing that the project maintainers kinda cocked this one up from a reputation and user trust perspective. If reputation, user trust and thus adoption are not a concern or goal of the project, then cool, good for them. It doesn't mean, however, that there isn't some reputation or user trust that was eroded. And it certainly doesn't mean we can't discuss it.

For you to reply "what are you a child, just fork it and grow a pair, fix it yourself" is not constructive nor does it contribute to the discourse. Or did I put words in your mouth? Hm I wonder how that feels.
I mean no disrespect, but that seems very unlikely.

> See also their stubborn refusal to give you an easy way to detect that the libc is Musl while compiling.

I suspect that the primary use cases for that would be applying half-baked workarounds and refusing to work with an "unsupported" libc, much like HTTP User-Agent.
I was referring to competitive debate, where refusal to engage isn't a feasible option: judges rarely consider "spreading" (Gish Galloping, basically) inherently abusive, and convincing them of its abusiveness via a speed Kritik is widely considered to be a poor strategy, since the offending team is likely able to overwhelm the points of the Kritik with spreading as well.

Cursed with the two shittiest UK organisations in existence there. Having dealt with Virgin Media and Thames Water for years they are quite frankly abhorrent even if you don't have a disability. From piss and rubbish filled street junction boxes and outages for days at a time to poor maintenance leading to a lingering smell of shit and mosquitos that actually devalued property in my area, they should be utterly shafted by everyone who can for every mistake they make.

It seems like given the tricks I've seen with long-http requests and browsers, it might be possible to implement a version that doesn't require JS.

Well yeah.

But batteries are the still most expensive component - much more than transmission/charging upgrades.

So if u do hot-swappable batteries, this component is only cycled once every 2-3 days, while you wait for the next ship.

Power will cost you 5-10c/kwh, and 10c/kwh for battery capex amortization ($100/kwh LFP with 100 cycles/year).

In the same boat here as well. Especially when you’re talking about container images using JavaScript or other interpreted languages that are bundling in a bunch of other dependencies, the developer experience is much better in my experience given that more developers are likely to have had experience working in a Debian based distro than an Alpine based one.

Especially when you’re also developing within the container as well, having that be unified is absolutely worth the convenience, and honestly security and reliability as well. I realize that a container with less installed on it is inherently more secure, but if the only people who are familiar with the system are a small infrastructure/platform/ops type of team, things are more likely to get missed.
