> The primary benefit is that when I get a new macOS machine, it's only three steps to having ALL my apps, configurations, etc. exactly as they were before

This is the same for macOS? I’ve done that twice in the last couple of years and it was just a matter of letting the migration assistant run and letting Homebrew install the list of packages exported from the old system.

This is not to say anything negative about Nix, only that this particular point doesn’t seem like a big selling point for something I do every few years.
Why use Omit instead of t56? Or better yet, write the values in a pre-defined order and just do 56 0.08 32 no 12.

This is good advice no matter what country you're in. Best advice I ever got is two things:

1. Make it easy for someone reading your CV to quickly know your core skills and experience (i.e. your points 1 and 2).

2. Don't just say you did the job, that's a given. Talk about specific points for each role you are particularly proud of. These will become talking points in an interview.

Saying something like "worked on front end and back end systems" tells me almost nothing about you. What did you do on them? Anything interesting about it, any tricky technical or business problems you solved?
Very interesting. I’ll have to give this a shot

I'm also using NixOS and working on Go projects, and had to deal with out-of-date Go releases. Nixpkgs generally does get the latest Go versions pretty quickly, but only in the unstable channels, they're not backported to NixOS releases. You can just grab that one package out of nixpkgs-unstable or nixos-unstable, like:

(import (fetchTarball "https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/nixpkgs-unstable.tar.gz") {}).go_1_21

where you had `pkgs.go` before (in your shell.nix or wherever).

I'm not eliminating Boeing's culpability here, merely pointing out a systemic problem in the industry. Boeing is competing with other aircraft manufacturers. The airlines are competing with other airlines. The standards bodies are comprised of individuals that in large part either belong to a manufacturer, or a supplier or the airlines themselves, with a few seats reserved for academics and the public sector.

Boeing did not break any rules with the MCAS. The implementation was in accordance with existing aviation regulations, passed inspection and was safely implemented throughout most of the world.
> In other words, it’s opinion and not fact, which is something I do not want conflated in a technical post.

As you’ve already stated, it’s an opinion and not a fact. I wouldn’t take posts like this so personally. Instead, use content like this to help you explore new tools. If you like it, great! If not, move on. Simple as that.

Someone heavily downvoted your comment - not sure about why.

The author should have taken the time to state that homebrew doesn't offer features such as ... "environments" or things that help with build reproducibility. A bit unfair, though, because that was probably never Homebrew's mission.
Eclipse is using an effectively 'cooperating multitasking' scheme where it just hooks lots of events from the main application. If you just install 1 single bad plugin that tries to do synchronous network access it will undoubtedly kill your responsiveness.
Lots of plugin based systems have evolved a more resilient way of hosting those modules. DAW applications host hundreds of audio plugins and even browser plugins are sandboxed nowadays.
Anyone with an interest in language and its function in understanding the world, should check out late Wittgenstein. Specifically Philosophical Investigations. Probably my favourite work of Western Philosophy.
So, the problem isn't outsourcing bad or vertical integration bad. Vertical integration has benefits for things that can differentiate you (e.g. Apple's custom silicon and operating system software). If it's not differentiating, then buy instead of build.

The problem is that there's a mismatch between the customers and management as to what the core focus of the business actually is. Every business wants to become a weirdly shaped futures trader that just arbitrages on other people's work - i.e. one that has no core competency whatsoever. Everything gets outsourced so that cost pressure can be used to obfuscate fraud.

If people want voice actors to 'get with the times' in this regard, they need to find a good way to convince them. And if 'get with the times' means 'let someone make money off your main skill that you spent years/decades developing without compensating you' it's an especially hard sell.

Instead people are just going "i'm gonna do this! try and stop me!" and expecting a good response from laymen who don't necessarily understand technology or the law.

This is how you end up with copyright/IP maximalism because it just looks and feels bad to people who don't understand the fine details.

Japantown has some vegetarian restaurants, and since they get a lot of tourists they're used to specific food requests. Just ask before you sit down.

> What is the theory for how elections are won and lost?

A friend of mine says this:

"Over a number of decades, A) foment tribal conflict and affiliation, B) do not enable any social safety nets, and C) do not interfere with freedom of movement. What happens is this: D) political affiliations become more and more bonded to physical location. After a time, to win an election, simply be the right party and say the same things you did to achieve A. If you fail, D isn't completed or the physical location is too large."

I don't know whether my friend is smart or stupid.
How do you prove that X and only X cause the company's revenue or some other metrics increased by Y? And let's say you can just for sake of it, how does that metric gives you any idea how good an engineer is? When I read a resume, anything that is beyond his skills (soft & tech) and experience is just sugar coating. A little is acceptable, too much and it gives me a bad feel for the candidate.
I’d also add that a non-trivial number of people are female, gay, or trans and so it’s not just a move but accepting a non-trivial risk of severe to potentially fatal personal harm. If your family includes anyone of childbearing age, for example, continuing to work for Apple would require accepting the risk of dying for reasons which doctors in a free state could easily deal with, and no amount of money can fully remove that risk.
People can also be very objective, though. This is also HN.

You can BS enough, but then you have to take some s** back if someone calls you out for making such statements :)

I tried with the query “principal software engineer”

Keywords were not helpful and included company names

For example:

One of the keywords was “fidelity”

Another keyword was “using”

A third keyword was “disability”

As far as requirements - some of the items on the list were actually requirements but others were just descriptions of specific companies and some were fragments of sentences that made no sense out of context

For example:

> This is a great time to join us and be part of this journey!Certifications:Company OverviewFidelity Investments is a privately held company with a mission to strengthen the financial well-being of our clients

> It also guarantees that your data security strategy adheres to compliance and data privacy regulations

Finally the list of requirements was very long - I’d expect the 10,000 foot view to be summarized a lot more - this seemed like it might be the same as skimming the 22 job descriptions it was generated from

So imo you’ve got some work to do before this is ready for prime time

I realize it's a company, but aside from a hacker's toolkit, this may be the first big, catastrophic moment in history where normal non-technical people come face to face with the uncontrollable nature of open source and the absolute ephemerality of software. Given things like Stable Diffusion and locally-runnable language models have been around since the inception, it's not that the cat got out of the bag, it's that a bag was never even made. The non-technical crowd is going to have a very difficult time understanding that AI proliferation is completely out of their control and is not ever going to be in their control.

Another coin in the well for just how new and fertile the computer industry is. So many monumental things yet to happen.

Fascism is quite a vague concept (as is communism), but I think you're right that the "exclusive collectionism" (exclusive to e.g. nationality or ethnicity) and extreme hierarchies (e.g. the fuhrer-principle) are close to what the Cold War propaganda attributes to socialism.

And as we know, fascism is capitalism in decay.

Didn't read the article, but the math they did about the R730 power draw is NOWHERE near realistic. A 1000Watt power supply unit (PSU) will only draw what is actually being used, not the full capacity 100% of the time. I have a fleet of R720's (generation before the example R730's) and their typical at-wall draw when running many VMs on them is about 150 Watts. So their math for that aspect is 100% WRONG.

That being said, neat concept IMO.

I don't consider it a conflict of interest for candidates to advertise on tech platforms. Politics is not that pure, trying to make it that pure is quite damaging because everything becomes an existential power fight. But it would be very damaging to peoples' faith in the system for a corporation to create tools that are perceived as extremely powerful, then use them as a lever for political power.

AI renditions. Or more appropriately, artificial renditions. How close are they to the real thing? Is it noticeable, like kids wearing and acting out in Brad Pitt masks? Or is it unnoticeable, and therefore deceptive?

Solution is to have laws prohibiting deception by AI plus regulation that AI generators need to have explicit tells that this was generated by AI, for image, audio, and video.

Once deception issue is cleared, then address a person's claim of RIGHTS, that they own their face, their style of body movements, and their voices, and its depiction. No laws are made on this. The only law that could be leveraged is copyright law. If a person's voice, style of body movement, and face is copyrighted, copyright law can be leveraged. What is the process of copyrighting? Copyrighting a movie? Copyrighting an audio tape? Copyrighting on image? Is everything automatically a copyright? Or is the distribution explicitly made under copyright?
