> A colleague was joking, "I guess even Microsoft itself isn't able to manage local Python installations on Windows…"

I've been waiting for Microsoft to solve package management on Windows since I played around with debian's apt 20 years. That's not snark, it seemed like Microsoft's product complexity and dedication to backwards compatibility of software would make them the ones to move software management forward. Really dig into the problem space and reinvent the package manager beyond anything that's come out of the open source space.

Instead we've got windows update, windows features, microsoft store, software center and winget (you know, that Microsoft-built package manager for Windows you install from the other Microsoft-built package manager for Windows).

You're fighting the good fight but I don't think you'll win this one. I am a fellow adherent to the philosophy that I am the owner of my phone, not the other way around. Mostly people just accept that this is just an unusual preference and not a personal slight against them but I too have been on the wrong side of some angry people. I've noticed the ratio of people who are ok with it is dropping though. We are evolving a cultural expectation of 24/7 instant communications response and opting out of that is offensive for some people.

If they never publish any details of security issues (and certainly no CVE score), can you safely assume that you would never receive a genuinely important security fix? How would it feel later on, when your system was compromised and support is pointing to the update with the security fixes?

Yes, maybe that is some weird kind of fear of missing out (on security), but I have a hard time ignoring security fixes, even without details.
A better interface/API is really what I meant. The performance characteristics are probably worth the tradeoff.
On the contrary, I would like to position it as an app that helps developers to focus on business logic rather than rebuilding interfaces :)

Apparently the Budapest and Warsaw airports have public pianos:

The graphic is an attempt to project the 3D observable universe down to 2D and then depict the time evolution of it to show that it has expanded in spatial volume, with the bell shape showing extremely rapid expansion during cosmic inflation, then slowing expansion, then accelerating expansion again as matter density became low enough for dark energy density to take over. But the observable universe is not the entire universe. There is no known boundary to space and there probably is no boundary at all. We'll never have any way of knowing, but space could easily be infinite in extent, while still expanding at every point. If you were on the boundary depicted (the cosmic horizon of the Earth-centered observable universe), or even if you were outside of that completely, the picture from your vantage point should look exactly the same.

As for what the horizon represents, it's all light that could have reached Earth within 13.7 billion years, that is, Earth's past light cone. It isn't necessarily the case that nothing leaving Earth today could ever get past that horizon. Light can travel forever if nothing ever scatters it. Given some very large amount of time, it can beyond the boundary depicted there. Because of the expansion of space, however, that time is likely to be more than 13.7 billion years, and given the acclerating expansion of space, there will eventually come a time that no light leaving any point within our local supercluster can ever reach any other supercluster. They will become forever outside of each other's horizons.
How do you spy on users of social media? Are we talking surreptitiously getting access to cameras/microphone or just getting data on user behavior? The former is obviously a major issue, but the latter can be obtained by anyone because tracking for ads is so ubiquitous and China can just pay to get it.
Here's how I describe KL Divergence, building up from simple to complex concepts.

surprisal: how surprised I am when I learn the value of X

Suprisal(x) = -log p(X=x)

entropy: how surprised I expect to be

H(p) = 𝔼_X -log p(X)
= ∑_x p(X=x) * -log p(X=x)

cross-entropy: how surprised I expect Bob to be (if Bob's beliefs are q instead of p)

H(p,q) = 𝔼_X -log q(X)
= ∑_x p(X=x) * -log q(X=x)

KL divergence: how much *more* surprised I expect Bob to be than me

Dkl(p || q) = H(p,q) - H(p,p)
= ∑_x p(X=x) * log p(X=x)/q(X=x)

information gain: how much less surprised I expect Bob to be if he knew that Y=y

IG(q|Y=y) = Dkl(q(X|Y=y) || q(X))

mutual information: how much information I expect to gain about X from learning the value of Y

I(X;Y) = 𝔼_Y IG(q|Y=y)
𝔼_Y Dkl(q(X|Y=y) || q(X))
Yeah, that totally makes sense to me.
I bought my last car 13 years ago and wanted to upgrade during Covid but didn't (after prices went up a bunch). Didn't sell my existing car, didn't buy a new one.

That's not true. You're describing instrumental reason. That's not the totality of intelligence for anybody except a certain breed of economist.
It's definitely worth taking the time to set up a credit freeze with the three big agencies (Experian, TransUnion, Equifax). Initially setting it up is a pain in the butt and is rage-inducing, as you have to provide a bunch of personal data when the whole problem in the first place is that they're careless with your data.

However, once you've got it set up, it's very easy to freeze and unfreeze them. Just keep all the URLs, usernames, and passwords in a secure note somewhere, and any time you need to apply for credit, unfreeze them for a day or a week.

I used to have all sorts of identity theft problems (people taking out credit in my name) but freezing my credit has solved it.

I do. My mom is terminally ill with cancer and most all of the caregivers, physical therapy, palliative care, pharmacy, oncologist, etc still use good old telephone calls to communicate. Sometimes it comes from a predictable number I can put in my contacts list, but not always. So I turned off the call blocking on my phone so I don't miss important calls.
A Tale of Three Bidirectional Level Shifters
"It would be hugely embarrassing to go back to working for any other company. I would have been much better off financially if I had stayed at my high paying dev job."

Well, you can be broke and keep on doing something that clearly isn't working for you...but maintain your pride in doing...something that isn't working and being unsuccessful.

Or you could be "embarrassed" with a high paying dev job. But honestly, that is all in your head. No one really cares that you failed and came back to a high paying job. Nobody is thinking about you that much.

IMO, stop doing things that aren't working, work for someone else for a while, get some money, recover, learn why you are not being successful building your businesses, and maybe try again...?

I only post things I believe to be true but I am not always successful at communicating my thoughts and feelings. The response lets me know if I was effective or not. I also have blindspots and recognize that I may not be seeing the whole picture at any given moment. Sure, I could hedge every statement with every possible doubt but then it becomes impossible to actually say anything.

If I had a reputation then people would consciously or not evaluate the truth of my statements at least in part based on my reputation. I often fail, but I try to write the truth as I see it and let it stand without being tied up in my identity.
He lost consciousness as a result of hitting his head, and had the heart attack.

He's really, really lucky there were trained professionals on hand, and that hitting his head meant he didn't have to subjectively experience any of it. (I stayed mysteriously unresponsive. “General appearance: comfortable, in no distress.”)

For medical providers, working on a dying person is itself traumatic. Doing so on the spur of the moment in a hockey game would be doubly so: you're just trying to relax and enjoy yourself, but all of a sudden you're on; then you feel you have to be ready at any time, and can't relax.

Then going back to hockey might sound heroic, but it really puts the EMT and paramedic in a tough spot, having to relive it and also worry about having to take care of patients who risk their lives without regard to their impact on others.

This is well-written, honest, with the essential facts to be a good contribution as an anecdote. I do thank the author and wish him well. He has friends everywhere now.

Importantly, non-commercial. Almost all of Facebooks stuff used to be Apache, this new stance is really shitty of them and I hope limits adoption. Deigning to allow others to play with models (and make improvements, give feedback, build an ecosystem) that only you can profit from is not good community behavior. I'd rather see them make it freemium or paid if that's their goal, this is the equivalent of a kid licking a cookie so the others can't eat it.
>consistently shipping significant new features fast

This is an external result of talent. However, it's also an external result of bad management. From the outside, we can't see how much of column A and how much of column B it really is, until the day we notice superfluous features, weird UX, bugs, and fix timelines on the order of years. Figma did give me almost 100% column-A vibes more than almost any other product I've used, so I was quite optimistic, but since the buyout I've noticed a few bugs/UX-issues of the concerning variety, and regardless of whether that timing is a coincidence, I'm starting to worry that in the end it will just be more business as usual for this piece of software.

Edit: Since the buyout announcement. But again, no idea if it's related.

> Any treasure you find will be found through experiences in the real world.

This line of criticism has always had elitism woven into it. The real internet was the internet of those that build their own modems/wrote their own modem code/added specific NNTP headers to their news messages/had their own static IPv4 IP/understood what I understand. Mix that with nostalgia over a time when "have you tried restarting it" was the most common piece of advice and you get this line of critique.

It's an alluring tale and appeals to the technologist in all of us old enough to feel nostalgic about a lost time, especially as the internet and then the web has become used by a broader swath of the population. I have a successful uncle who tells us stories about how calculators and CAD dumbed down engineering and only his ilk of paper calculations and slide rule approximation can truly engineer.

There is too much of this on our industry, and inevitably the churn in our industry matches the service industry.

And then management is surprised when engineers burn out and stop caring. I mean, do they not understand reciprocation? Did they really think treating people like horses will keep people honest and invested in the success of the company and the team?

the first niche research paper I found looking recently, on a niche topic.. was "AI for reading research papers" that looked for nouns associated with this niche, and then the context, and did that for thousands of publications. That writeup was released publicly in 2018.

That is totally possible, but I recognize this as an interrogation tactic.

Your resume is a showcase of your best accomplishments. Short of clearance-level interviews with your family and friends, people in C-level positions ask for transcripts from 20 years ago because it's the only intelligence concerning your failures they can get their hands on (your previous employers won't ever attest on-record that you sucked).

So with that in hand, think about how you're going to feel when the only things they want to talk about are topics you were struggling to understand while your brain was still underdeveloped. He's big-dicking you to ensure your submission in any ongoing business relationship, and probably lowball you on salary just because he likes taking things from people after humiliating them.

Asking about failures in past jobs is fair game-- you are free to disclose that much at your discretion. Asking for a transcript itself isn't even that weird either, just to verify you went to the school you said you did. But grilling you about failures from 20 years ago is someone engaging in emotional abuse; they're desperate to have something to hold over you.

> I looked for a tech job for the first half of this year without any luck and I'm really tired of the whole tech interview process so now I'm starting to wonder about other ways of bringing in money.

I'm not sure if I'd ask this general advice question here. This isn't Reddit. HN is basically a "tech" board. Nothing says it needs to be exclusively that but I'd be surprised if you get good general answers from non-tech people.

Go wait tables? Go get a job that pays $3k/mo net?

"What would you do to bring in $3k/mo?"

I'd work. It isn't realistic/easy to snap your fingers and find an unturned corner in the market where you can just "start a business". You aren't going to Etsy jewelry/sell t-shirts/think of an app nobody else has/start a YouTube channel/Twitch stream/daytrade your way to $3k/mo net of taxes easily.
KPIs are great for extracting additional value beyond the agreed upon job responsibilities. If you can't measure my contributions to your bottom line directly, then _you've_ made an accounting mistake, not me.

Anti-theft strategies can fail simply because some thieves are not in a fit mental state and act irrationally. I once had a bike frame damaged because I had it secured to a bike rack, and someone tried to steal it by grabbing the rear tire and yanking on the bike in the hopes that the lock would fail. Instead it snapped off a small chunk of the frame behind the rear axle. This was an aluminum frame on a $400 bike too, I was kind of impressed at how hard the bum must have been going at it.

Could this not be explained purely because of access to better funds? For example: Vanguard charges a higher expense ratio on the funds that are under $3000 in investment. Above $3000 you get 'Admiral' class with lower expense ratios. Even above that, there are 'Institutional' class funds that have an even LOWER expense ratio (with minimums of $5M).

I imagine similar examples exist at other firms, companies, etc.

Can you show that the inequality changes lead to the median wealth changes? I could just as easily argue that the causality flows in the opposite direction you are implying. When median wealth increases, people stop policing inequality as fervently and when median wealth decreases, they recommit to addressing inequality.

Honestly: The problems started when you decided to move past the initial miscommunication because the money was "good enough". Kind of hard to tell what actually happened, but when you accepted that lower level (I mean I'm assuming that your contract and etc. also has this lower level in it instead of the proper one) you did a soft reset on what the hiring manager thought of you. The only correct decision was, IMO, "Hey I interviewed for X but now I am getting to be in X-2? Fix this or I'm not signing the contract". Once the manager knows that the "money is good enough" to keep you you should get ready for fuckery.

Will this have an impact on your future employment chances? Absolutely, IMO you will certainly get asked as to why you took a step down in responsibility/pay. Companies see your latest job as the baseline, or at least they do in 99% of the CVs they see, and perhaps more importantly taking a step down usually devalues all your previous experiences in the hiring manager's eyes("Wait you were a principal dev at Small Company X but now are 2 levels below that at Public Corp Y? How bad were you as principal dev at X that you had to drop down 2 levels?").

All of the above is based on my experience in finance, but pretty sure it applies to tech as well.
