It's an interesting article but I hope it would not just dismiss wasting time:

> The main question recruiters ask up front about money is: “What are your compensation expectations?” They claim that it’s because they want to make sure that you’re not so far off in your expectations that interviewing with that company would be a waste of time. This is a nonsense reason — very few companies pay so much below market that it would be a nonstarter

I down want to earn "market" or "average". I want to earn what makes sense for me, regardless of how much above (or below, although that would be weird) market it may be. Or I want my conditions to be specific enough that the whole thing is worth it (benefits in terms of remote, medical, etc).

I also don't want to waste time interviewing a lot if there's no minimum bar that's close to my goal. I can always say no, and the part of aligning interviews so that you get offers at the same time makes a lot of sense, although it can be hard, since it's easy to overload yourself with interviews.

Every second wasted preparing for interviews is somewhat wasted, regardless of the experience you gain from it, so you want to minimize it. One of the biggest keys is probably leaving at your own pace so that you feel perfectly comfortable saying no. "No" gets you renegotiations pretty fast because you've made the sale. You just don't want to keep making the sale many times fruitlessly.

There's also a lot of "right time and right place" going on with interviews, so being open to change and knowing what you really want is important.

There's a point where you also know your value enough that you don't have to play so many games or stress that much. It works quite well and gives one job satisfaction.

In nearly every County I've lived in the Sheriff was an elected position. King County WA (the Seattle metro area) is the only counter-example. That used to be an elected position until a recent-ish (2020?) popular vote changed the County Sheriff to an appointed position (appointed by the elected County Executive). Funny enough, it was sold as a way to increase law enforcement accountability, though I am still scratching my head wondering how hiding the position behind a different person makes the Sheriff more accountable to the people.
I usually end up doing it anyway and taking my "lumps" for the week that I spent learning but not producing. Get frustrating when the #2 crowd starts demanding that I drop everything and help them since I'm now the "expert", though.
Sounds like there's lots of overhead.
Yup, this is the headache with nuclear--your marginal costs of generating power are very small (and I wouldn't be surprised to learn they're negative as big machines prefer to run at constant settings--it wouldn't shock me one bit if throttling it up and down causes more maintenance cost than fuel savings) and thus it's only sensible in environments where 100% throttle is useful, or in environments where cost isn't an important driving factor (military vessels) or fueling is problematic (IIRC Russia had a nuclear-powered icebreaker.)

Put your reactors on land, when the grid has too much power you direct it to something like this (or the hydrogen generator that showed up here a few days ago) and convert it to chemical energy.
That old school simpler design you refer to has its own problems, relying on a fixed ratio of cooling where you often get either a warm freezer or cold fridge. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PTjPzw9VhY

Modern fridge/freezer combos want to control the ratio of cooling. This is often done as simply as controlling a fan that moves cold air between the compartments.
> Is Hashicorp switching to a BSL any more disruptive to users of the software than if Hashicorp went out of business?

Yes. If they went out of the business, the software development would probably grind to halt before/unless the community manages to rescue the project.

But if they don't, and instead they "just" change to a license which states you cannot be a competitor and use the project, then that runs the risk of you being sued and pulled into legal battles with another company, usually something you'd like to avoid.

So imagine I today use nomad for something, and Hashicorp doesn't have any hosted version of nomad, so I'm in the clear. But who knows what will happen in the future? As soon as Hashicorp does anything that could look like competition to what I already offer, my usage of nomad is now at risk, and in addition my entire business is at risk because they would sue me unless I remove nomad quickly.

It would be stupid not to move far away from any BSL projects as soon as you can, unless your entire business model is to get into legal battles with others.
No pin? No 3d secure?
Yeah, I was similarly approached (on LinkedIn) to write a book on a topic I'm nowhere near an expert nor vocal about it in social media, etc.

I'm not really in social media at all, so I take the approach as a cold-call for writing a book, which seems like a red flag to me.
I've been hacking on `ssh-tpm-agent` which allows you to create or import TPM sealed keys. This is practical as it prevents key extraction and it has dictionary attack protection which allows you to have 4 digit pins instead of passphrases to protect your private keys.

A very large number of missions to other planets have failed because they crashed on the planet. Thus anyone who is serious about getting a mission to a different planet will put a lot of effort into the landing system. The fuel burn is cheap compared to a crash landing on the moon (as Russia just had a couple days ago). The above is even at NASA, they have done a lot of complex landing systems over the years.

Most missions have several different scientific systems on board. If any one fails well the others still make the mission a partial success. If the landing system fails they all become a failure.

Conversion (swapping actually) is a real operation and can’t just be abstracted away. It matters considerably.
To answer your question, no. Hashicorp switching to a BSL isn't any more disruptive than if they went out of business. My personal concern is that it's much easier for a company to change its licensing than it is for that company to go out of business, and it seems more formerly open companies are choosing to do so. That's the focus of the article as well.
Assuming the intended audience is also humans, "exciting" errors seem worse in this instance, so I find it hard to credit these marketing claims.
Here's another way groby_b could have said the same thing:

Maybe this sounds better to you, too. If not, maybe I'm wrong. It happens a lot. :-)
that little seat with the steering wheel? I had one of those, and I still remember it from age ... 3? 4? I remember the day I realized that moving the steering wheel back and forth all the time is not the way you drive a car, as fun and obvious as it is that it should work that way. I noticed my mother was holding the wheel straight so I started imitating her. (looking back now I can see so much of my generalized autism: playing with matchbox cars, I spent most of my time setting them up for parallel parking, and then for diagonal parking between the stripes. I hated when my friends wanted any type of "fantasy" play, i just wanted to be realistic all the time.)

I concur that the main point of those car seats was as a booster seat, to get the kid up high enough to see out the window so they could better occupy themselves and not squall, but perhaps my perspective is biased.

Also, that woman driving the car in the white heels? looks pretty much exactly like my mother.

You haven't published the reports, scope, and full findings. We don't even know what Trail was testing. I don't think the security audit stuff matters at all, and Trail is a fine firm, but you can't use the mere existence of a pentest project this way.

It's mostly a waste of time, trying to negotiate with the big tech companies.

There's a FAANG company on 1 Hacker Way. There's one on 1 Infinite Loop, Apple. There's on on Sand Hill Road, Ampitheatre Parkway actually, that's Google. Netflix, 100 Winchester Circle, that's a good one. You know, I think they're all in the same place, the FAANG District.

Seriously though, I can only imagine how much I'd be laughed out of the room if I was some little shit 22 year old trying to negotiate a salary at a gigantic company, where exactly 0 people I am talking to have any agency whatsoever, only 1 year after 150,000 people in the tech industry were laid off, the memories of dozens of my classmates getting their offers rescinded fresh in my mind. And then for what, to live alone in Sunnyvale for 13 months?

Man if you think 2MB is big, you should check out the size of the build product from a compiled language. And if you have an issue with nested dependencies, you've should check out the build a Python or C application which similarly require you grab all the dependencies, and then the dependencies of the dependencies, before building. That's just what dependency management is about.

If you have a frontend app that requires loading a 2MB bundle in the browser, then whoever configured that application did not know what they are doing. There are lots of ways of optimizing JS bundle sizes, and SSR is actually one of the best. With SSR, only the code that executes on the frontend gets included in the client bundle. Webpack is one of many build orchestration frameworks you could use, though honestly at this point you rarely have to actually write custom configuration for frontend applications. A great deal of standardization has happened over the last 5 years, and generally you just use a template for your use case.

As someone who has worked all over the stack, from API development to data pipelines to infrastructure to client-facing application, I find the dismissive attitude of other parts of the stack incredibly bizarre. It's a tool, it exists for a reason, and if you don't see the reason it's probably because you don't understand the problem.

Gmail on Android doesn't change very often. Once you get used to the initial learning curve it gets better and stays pretty much the same.

That said, you can also use the mobile website version if you prefer, just use a browser. Or the simple HTML version: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/146dsf3hdastv/?v=lui

Mobile apps have their own UI because the operating system has its own guidelines. Websites don't have a UI framework standard so they just kinda make it up, and maybe you're used to that.

If you don't like Android's UX overall, why don't you try something different? If you're on pure Android, try Samsung (or vice versa). Or try iOS and see if you like it. They're not all that different these days but it's worth a shot.

Shrug. You can also just get a tablet or big foldable phone and use the browser there like you would on a desktop. But the apps are here to stay, so you'd have to go out of your way to avoid them.

Sheriff are just unbelievably overpowered
You get what you pay for.

If there is a one off person who can command a higher salary, its unlikely they alone will make a huge difference to the company anyway.

If there are a lot of people who could command a higher salary in that role, the pay is too low.

Overall it seems like a pretty good system.
You could argue that the current system favors people who are good at negotiating, and not necessarily more skilled workers.
I would call a chat bot a specialized application. And I dispute that a chat bot was ever considered the end goal of AGI. The idea is that if we had AGI, we could build a chat bot with it to test/demonstrate its general reasoning capabilities. Simply being effective at chatting is not sufficient to be called an AGI. And today's chatbots are quite stupid.

Sure we're starting to give chat bots the ability to query information and even interpret user-provided images, but AFAIK the image interpretation is done using a different model rather than being an extension of the LLM.

Most of those employees aren't working in software, so the # is irrelevant.

All orgs have policies like forced attrition quotas that set the tone for the culture across the company, as well as the constant cutthroat performance review and promotion culture.

Teams with good work-life balance and no backstabbing are rare, and when these teams exist there are other teams paying the price with additional toxicity and high attrition quotas, since the quotas need to be met at the org level.

Many orgs this year have to put 20+% people on "focus" (pre-PIP) with the expectation of 10% forced attrition. And people voluntarily leaving or being laid off do not count towards this forced attrition quota, it still needs to be met.

I think you're missing the points made earlier. The definition of Christian varies depending on who you ask. The word itself conveys nothing other than perhaps "worships Christ." All the rules added for what "Christians" must accept are disputed. If "worships Christ" is the definition, Mormons clearly are Christian (cue all the "but that's a different Jesus!" cries). If your definition is "believes what Pastor Johnson believes" then they wouldn't be. This is no different than any other ill-defined word.

Not GP, but I think NT as a whole is great OS. It likely has the largest and oldest software repository out there, excluding phone app shovelware.

I think I'm not as fond of XP's UI as I am fond of the early NT UI as a whole. The UI was relatively the stable from 95 to Windows 7 with the classic theme. I adore this UI and I'm glad to see it still carries on in modern projects like SerenityOS.

But at the same time, we have high DPI displays now and the classic UI doesn't scale well, so I'm happier to have a flat high res UI than a tiny classic UI these days.
