I feel like this is a very convenient scapegoat for American unions to avoid looking internally at their own flaws. Many Americans have negative opinions of unions. Corporations and their wealthy owners have certainly put a lot of money to influence public opinion this way, but they aren't omnipotent. These efforts would be laughable off if the value-add of the union was readily-apparent. Dismissing anyone's negative opinion of a union as being the victim of a propaganda campaign is infantilizing, and dismissive of lived-experiences.

My negative opinion of a union came from my own direct experience as being part of a mega-union that crossed multiple industries. The structure of the union was such that they were so divorced from the actual work being done that they could not possibly help us. Advancement meant playing the union political game, and not being good at your job. They were a constant thorn in all of our sides. I try to limit my disdain to that union in particular (not all unions are like this). But your comment dismissing concerns such as these fault of the business sound incredibly tone deaf. And as a result will not lead to a positive opinion of unions in America.
I can't remember how long ago, but I read or heard about a few studies that show you're better off going to a freshly minted doctor, at least in the US. They'll not have had the time to build a cynicism around "what they learned is all they need to know".

I know Dr's learn a lot throughout their career, but after they get into a practice they just don't have the time they did in medical school (or won't spend the time), and the trajectory flattens.

Excellent storytelling, fluidly integrating geospatial data and other visual elements and statistics in a smooth flow.

Who knows, maybe one day such a "visual space" inside a browser would be interactive, a Google Earth type of thing as far as navigation goes, but with data queries that allow on the fly to populate various widgets. An expert could livestream a story or "save" it for later publication.

Mainly for debugging locally. I use it either to understand which parts of the code will be touched by a certain action or over unit tests to get an overall idea of what values are passed to which parts of the system.

Works well if you need to reproduce a bug and wants to check how did you get to whatever invalid state you are looking into. In contrast, before, I would do the same by adding a bunch of breakpoints and going through the function calls. This is slow, and specially annoying when you have lots of timeouts in your code.

But this is project is very new, I am starting to feel the actual json with the stacktrace is a little bit more useful than the graph itself to peek at the values. In the sort example, this would be https://www.isageek.com.br/javaflame/data.js

OnePlus is a big disappointment to me. I'd be a customer for life if they'd kept doing what made them so good:

1. Never settle: big specs, lots of features. SD cards and headphone jack on a flagship? yes please!

2. Factory images available so I can easily re-flash to stock

3. Great pricing

4. Not required proprietary charger to get max speed

They could really turn it around, but they would need to return to their roots. Until then I'll just stick with the Pixel A series. It never excites me about phones, but it checks most of my boxes.
> As a software developer, you have the privilege to not really care about money if you don’t want to.

That sounds nice for you, but your experience is not common I don't think. It's certainly not my experience as a software developer in Canada, where I struggled for years and even now make "just" a comfortable living.

I'm very happy I don't have to worry about rent and groceries and I can save quite a bit, but I'm certainly not able to "not care about money"
Very good point, planning is a broader activity than estimation. I find people bring a lot of baggage to the idea of estimation, like in this case you say "it's a lot of wasted time". There's an assumption in there somewhere about what constitutes an estimate. If you're talking about an eng-week granularity estimate for a project that is going to take 6+ months then absolutely I agree with you.

But for me an "estimate" is just a sense of the level of effort required sufficient for the needs of planning at the time. It goes hand in hand with risks, dependencies, and other assumptions that need to be kept in mind. The exact form of an appropriate plan depends a lot on the business constraints like how delivery timeline interacts with customers, external events, and the broader ecosystem that the company operates in.

As for your suggested backlog approach, this makes sense if the requirements are rigid and accuracy on the delivery timeline is the most important thing. This is situational, but in many projects I've led, the scope is negotiable, and therefore important to keep the big picture in mind to find opportunities to refining or consolidating scope. A common anti-pattern I've seen when relying on ticket/task-level tracking is the team missing the forest for the trees. It's possible to leverage these systems to support high-level planning, but I tend to prefer documents or a simple spreadsheet gantt for that purpose, and use ticket/task tracking for last-mile work, intakes, bugs and other inputs that we don't want to lose track of, but may vary widely in their importance and relevance.
This is false, both in the sense that employees that would like to be scabs are not being prevented from crossing the picket line and that there are no Tesla workers taking part in the strike.

However, because Tesla Sweden has repeatedly threatened repercussions (loss of company stock which is the main way Tesla Sweden matches market wages, loss of employment) if you strike, the picket lines are manned by other union members.

The only problem is there’s no step in social media to activate people to put pressure on the government to reduce police abuse. I want stuff like cops who beat their significant others taken off the force. Cops sent to jail if they rape or sexually assault their detainees. I want a reversion to the legal precedent that cops have no duty to defend civilians from crime. But there’s no way to do this without large popular action,.

Hell even with BLM mass protests, no city actually defunded the police!
That's the point though, the Fed main lever to lower inflation is causing pain in the market.

When they say soft landing they really just mean they believe they can break things just enough to cool down the economy and get back to the magic number of 2-3% inflation.

How much more prosperous would our nation be if we had not invested such a significant amount of our time and wealth into cars? We could have built colonies on the Moon with the amount we spent on building more lanes for people to be stuck in traffic.
There's no mention of this union, or postal services, in that article. (It was published before SEKO put Tesla on notice)

Not exactly the most reliable source for this kind of thing. I have not seen any hard evidence of greater numbers of SSD failures. Even if it's true that MacOS swaps more aggressively with Mx chips, 8GB of RAM is going to require substantial use of swap regardless of how exactly the OS tunes things.

If the legislature gives the treasury conflicting instructions, what is the most democratic way to resolve the contradiction?
literacy is easy. I read word, make sound.

common sense, credulity, and being able to place things in contexts, esp. ones you might not know, is also a skill, and arguably what this person was missing.

Like she was able to email and negotiate with the undercovers, she clearly had basic literacy.
To echo the previous reply, it's a ridiculous stance to defend absolving of documentation of their presence when all these situations involved taxpayer money. Whether it's an officer, a congressman,Trump under subpoena, or a random drunk ... if they are being charged with something, they are in the public record. That public record includes public documentation of where they were taken, why, and sufficient documentation to allow both the public to be informed and for intervention in case of abuse of power.

Otherwise, we don't live in a functional democracy. This is a good decision. It's sad the PD is appealing it, but not unexpected.

I don't have a large enough sample to make a statement, but my impression is apartments in Spain are larger than in the US. Even if you want to live in an apartment, if you want more space you are forced to buy a house. You can't get a 4 bedroom apartment (3 kids? separate office? hobby room?...) You can't get an apartment with two "living rooms" (music room, tv room, rec room...). You don't need any of that, but if you are not poor you may want those things and be willing to pay if it was available.

It’s also far from the most densely populated European country so your interjection seems out of left-field.

(But: it might be pretty “urban” for that matter since some countries have a lot of empty spaces which bring down the population density.)
> the other is an external actor demanding what you do with your private property.

And why is that bad? You've just described a negotiation between two private parties. In any negotiation, parties try to get their counterparty to do something with their property.

Workers are negotiating with the company about the sale of private property that they possess (aka "labor services"). Of course, workers can also organize together, it's simply an exercise in free speech.

Heck, it's as libertarian as it can be.
Tempering my sibling comment, I could believe they probably have lower maintenance needs on more expensive stuff, but that's precisely who you're not selling with lower cost of ownership. I'm with you: my 10 year old car cost me 17k, and in the past 10 years I have spent no more than 7k on fuel. I've done annual oil changes, replaced a set of tires, and replaced a pump for windshield washer fluid one time.

My electric co. has a tool for estimating your monthly fuel savings: $15 monthly for me. That's probably the cost of food my toddler smashes up and throws on the floor in the same period.
Which is fine if you're being arrested, not great if you're trying to report domestic violence.

I get it, it's better like this, but it could have secondary side effects for some people.
Exactly, so those old MacBooks' SSDs should be failing en masse by now, if indeed there is something to worry about. There are plenty of them still in use.
> I want the benefits of a textual programming language, but I don't really want to have to start thinking about sound waves in terms of literal numeric frequencies

That's a bit of a contradiction. It's exactly the reason to use a programming language to have that level of control over signal processing. Otherwise you're better off with a tool like Reactor or VCV Rack.
I'm glad it's legal to film, particularly when you want to protect yourself when reporting a crime and you fear police reprisal for some reason.

However, I can see some truly asshole-ish behavior resulting from this if the influencers get wind of this decision and they decide to use it to make content. Imagine some Instagrammer gawking at a crime victim on the worst day of their life as they go to the police for help and they sit there smugly saying "It's legal, fr fr bruh, no cap. on god".

That's ... not a good article.

Larry just comes across as pissed off. He complains that Obama's article doesn't discuss, or discuss enough for his liking, "Hilary's email servers".

He complains that it doesn't discuss Obamagate in any detail. Possibly because it was essentially a baseless accusation/conspiracy from Trump that when investigated, showed no evidence?

He complains that Trump's page contains too many "negative words", in sections like his "Public Profile" (and then complains that Obama doesn't have a section titled exactly the same, though he does have "Cultural and Political Image").

He complains that the article on abortion describes it as a very safe medical procedure, "a claim that is questionable on its face" - which is why the article links to citations, unlike Larry, who just rebuts with "conservatives don't think so".

He then goes on to claim that "Wikipedia holds positions that some scientific minorities reject" around concepts such as the MMR vaccine, global warning, chiropractic and homeopathy. That latter one is the easiest, as there is zero assertion based in physics that a substance can be imbued with the "essence" of something when diluted to the point where it would take multiple universes worth of molecules to get one original molecule in the final substance. Sanger wholly fails to give a valid reason why anyone should give homeopathic dilutions an equal weight to the rest of our body of work on medicine and physics other than "bias!"
> Technical people have a blind spot where they think technical competence and expertise is what helps someone up the food chain. The truth is it’s who you know not what you know. Especially in these larger types of companies.

100% spot on, I couldn't agree more. That was the biggest thing I learned during my time there. It was painful at times, but a very important lesson to learn.
> Nobody gives a f* about your clean code

There is more nuance to this. Soft engs need to realize what stage of product and business lifecycle they are working on. Most importantly, get into the mindset individual contributor not just a programmer [1] (highly recommend reading Patricks blog on this)

1. If you're building 0 -> 1, the focus is shipping early and faster. This is not the time to crib about SLOs and chaos testing. I'm not saying these things are not important, but very likely they are way down the list.

2. Once you have crossed the chasm and have a mature product or platform that product engineers rely on. Then reliability, fault tolerance SLOs etc matter a lot more. This is the phase, I'm more concerned about using the right abstractions and ensure tech debt is managed well.

3. Product is in KTLO mode - In this phase, you could probably spend quarters LARPing on making things better and afford to work on things that very likely have diminishing returns.

Nobody gives an eff about your clean code, if no customers are using it.

This ties to an important fact about how cancer works.

A cell has a long journey to becoming cancerous. It involves cell damage that is imperfectly repaired. A cell once injured is therefore liable to become cancer, but may not take the next step for decades.

When you stop smoking, you stop injuring more cells. But the injured ones are still there. You can think of them as like little time bombs, waiting to go off. A process that is likely to take decades. So even decades later, you should worry.

We convinced large numbers of people to stop smoking. Yay, us! We told them that smoking causes cancer. We were right. But we didn't go around advertising, "If you've been a smoker, you're never getting rid of your increased risk." Because that would have been demotivating.

Maybe we should have still been honest? Then my brother-in-law wouldn't have been so shocked when he got lung cancer from a habit that he had quit some 20 years earlier.

Regurgitating copyrighted material for profit is a concern. But I fail to understand why training on copyrighted material is a problem. Have we not all trained our brains reading/listening copyrighted material? Then why it is wrong for AI to do the same?
This also shows that OpenAI or other providers does not have a real moat. The interface is very generic and best replaced easily with other provider or even with open model.

Oh yeah, moved on to what? What has replaced those things and rendered them obsolete?

On-board storage sure didn't, that's small and not portable, and we already had that. Bluetooth headphones didn't, those require special hardware, have to be charged (battery), have higher latency, reduced sound quality (lower fidelity), packet loss, and spyware built in, and DRM capable. Not even close to a replacement for analog headphone jack.
It’s really disheartening to see the percentage of people that don’t understand this (and feel perfectly comfortable having an argument about it). People posting comparisons of receipts from 8 years ago and saying that prices are “really still up 30%” and “they’re lying to us”.
It didn't have DRAM or caches. Programming with scratchpads is so difficult that people just give up.

If nobody gives a fuck about clean code in your org then you really need to find a new org. Perfect need not be the enemy of good, but if nobody cares at all then the problem will just get worse over time.

Yes I've been thinking about this a lot too. There are these unquestioned notions about what is possible, and they're more often than not self-fulfilling prophecies.

I think it's easier to convince someone they're wrong by showing than telling. This is fairly central to what I'm trying to do with my search engine project. Build something so profoundly contradictory to expectations about what is possible to make sticking to those notions completely untenable.

I think the SerenityOS gang does a fantastic job at this too, much better than I do arguably.
To be fair, that’s what every iPhone does (with now somewhat limited rolling shutter).
Nikon z9 already did the same and eliminated the mechanical shutter (now on z8 and z f as well).
Sony brought this to a whole new level, but the competition is amazing.
I honestly believe that with this plus all the new features that machine learning and deep learning enable on these cameras this is the most exciting time ever (gear-wise) to be a professional photographer.

Lockitron! I remember chatting with your engineer about the WiFi radio we used in Twine. Good insight.

Ah, chokepoint capitalism. The problem with every company becoming a tech company is that they all expect unsustainable tech company growth. The strip mining of customers is also scaling up, so efficient that industries will destroy themselves. Can't wait until private equity owns the radios in my home, and controls not just the output but inputs.
