If you are subject to more corporate performance review shenanigans it feels like anything less than 10x performance is insufficient to upper management. Maybe you will even be subject to something as unhinged as being told not to rate all of your self assessment too highly because it's "not possible" to be high performer in all the meaningless "company values" they put into their performance rubric. perhaps you will even be given the example of "working overtime" as a good example of something to put in your self assessment.
I think that regardless of category, we should strive for making quality easier and cheaper to achieve and sustain. Unfortunately financial incentives favor velocity and volume at the cost of all else and so instead we’re increasingly pumping out vast amounts of garbage.

I think probably the best use of AI, so far, was when I went into a controller and told it to generate an openAPI spec ... and it got it nearly right. I only had to modify some of the models to reflect reality.

BUT (and this is key), I've hand-written so many API specs in my career that 1) I was able to spot the issues immediately, and 2) I could correct them without any further assistance (refining my prompt would have taken longer than simply fixing the models by hand).

For stuff where you know the domain quite well, it's amazing to watch something get done in 30s that you know would have taken you the entire morning. I get what you're saying though, I wouldn't consider asking the AI to do something I don't know how to do, though I do have many conversations with the AI about what I'm working on. Various things about trade-offs, potential security issues, etc. It's like having a junior engineer who has a PHD in how my language works. It doesn't understand much, but what it does understand, it appears to understand it deeply.
It seems that the appropriate design skillset was lacking in the R&D group. Also maybe it was a first attempt to make something, and they did not get through a second iteration to improve it.

Why do we expect that skilled SEs are also skilled UX designers? As everything, design requires training. The problem seemed to be such people trained in design were missing from the R&D team, which sounds like management's fault rather than the engineers' in the first place. Then, the management, while correctly identified the lack of design skills, instead of strengthening their R&D team with that missing talent, they put designers in a different group, creating a different set of issues within the company. Seems a case for an overall bad management in my eyes.

German is a very gendered language.

Assuming that you’re male, would you be inclined to apply for a job if the description referred only to the “female employee who will hold this position” and what “her” responsibilities will be?

That’s essentially analogous to the situation that women have when applying for jobs in German-speaking countries.

Earthquakes might not be able to be predicted accurately, but some recent research 'claims' there some physical signs that can comes before earthquake comes. E.g. : helium and radon gas. Research related to 2011 Tohoku earthquake also reported that there is some magnetic anomaly before the earthquake.

People that noticed these anomaly, however, cannot correlates these anomaly to the necessary parameter that is really required for true earthquake prediction: Magnitude, Location, and Time. Without saying what is the magnitude and location, you cannot estimate the earthquake damage. Time limit is also important.

There is a threshold of quality; once it goes below, it's a broken product. Personally, I'd rather have a high-quality product crafted by artisans than mass-produced ones, similar to preferring a dinner at a restaurant made by a chef over fast food. However, in engineering, every choice involves tradeoffs.
>the developers don't really have a choice; choosing to leave the Apple platform

They do have a choice. Developing and supporting an iOS app will take $x amount of money and will have a potential return on investment of $y. If the return on investment is not high enough developers have no reason to release or update an iOS app and should focus on other development, working on something else that will have a greater return.
Any reason one couldn't connect that machine to a network-accessible KVM switch?

Assuming the KVM switch, and related infrastructure, are well-secured, I don't see how Windows 3.1 vulnerabilities would matter.

(Not sure if the job requires feeding floppies and/or CD's into the machine, which AFAIK isn't something solved by any off-the-shelf KVM switch.)
Most of the weekend coding is for learning stuff that is expected at work, but hardly given the time to learn, an escape to have fun with technologies that will never be allowed to deploy into production at work, and lately to keep the HR filters happy to be feed with some random Github content.

I'd put a fourth point, the APIs they give to third party products are inferior to what they give to their own, always.

So even if you wanted to, you could not match the experience of being all-in on their ecosystem. That's intended, so that other products do not compete with theirs and look inferior.

This is a great demonstration of how Apple plays both sides of the same coin, picking which one at its convenience.

But freedom vs security is a balancing act in literally every system. Not just iPhones, and not just computers. Not acknowledging the importance of the "freedom" aspect of things, not just as a matter of allowing end users to utilize their computers as they please, but also as a matter of fairness for the digital transactions that happen on them, allows Apple to defend their practices and especially, their extremely lucrative monopoly over monetary transactions on their platform. Note that Apple's solution on macOS has been not just to shrug and block off the ability to run arbitrary code (though they certainly have discouraged it a lot), they have actually also made genuine improvements to the security story on macOS. While we're at it, they also have been doing the same on iOS this entire time, because iPhone and iPad are also not free of malware either. (Would have been nice if they shared the numbers, but it seems like "significantly less" is the best we're going to get.)

This is exactly why I think it's really important to pay attention to the way they are treating government regulation to see what their true intent is.

Obviously, Apple cares about malware in part because it can be damaging to their brand, so there need be no altruism involved in their desire to defeat malware. But also, modifying their operating system for the Chinese market to phone home inside of Safari and add tracing to Airdrop are things that they seem all too happy to do, and those things are not only not helpful to their users, but actively harmful. Apple is happy to do it because like many companies, they deeply desire access to the very large and increasingly lucrative Chinese market.

This is a great demonstration that apparently needs to be made that your best interests are not Apple's primary concerns when making product decisions. The incentives can line up sometimes, but it's a hell of a lot more likely that the incentive that is lining up here is actually an 80+ billion dollar per year market that they don't want to lose a red cent of. This is some pretty basic Occam's razor, but all of this non-sense about how scary the security of allowing people to install software packages is has clouded things up severely.

Note that nobody has actually asked for sideloading outside of any sort of app store to be particularly easy or simple, as far as I am aware. It just needs to be possible, and not just "pay $99/year, install XCode, sign your apps and load them temporarily"-type non-sense.

I suspect many scientists are not especially rational outside their field of study. Probably worse, being scientific authorities can make them overconfident.
These train door locks also report to a light at the front of the train that the toilet is occupied. That way you know where on the train the nearest unoccupied toilet is, and can decide to stay in your seat a bit longer or venture to a further away part of the train if your need is desperate.

They also auto-close the toilet door when not in use to keep smells away.

And the main reason: Doors aren't really wheelchair friendly - many wheelchair users aren't strong or agile enough to move a door.

With those 3 things to deal with, it's pretty hard to design a mechanical door system that can meet everyone's requirements.

Having said that, the UI could certainly be better. I would personally have had the 'close' button require to be held down the whole time the door is closing. If you release the button early, the door opens again. Only when it is fully closed will it then stay closed and 'locked'. No need for an actual mechanical lock, but there should be a big red padlock light that comes on.

I read the book and was mostly disappointed.

SBF comes across as a fundamentally uninteresting and uncultured person who is very proud of not having any interests and not giving a shit about other people. Even his parents struggle to tell anything noteworthy or likable about him. Lewis seems to relish the massive challenge of turning him into a protagonist, but the reader doesn’t share in those rewards.

Also, trading stocks for a living is apparently just as boring as it sounds like. The descriptions of what Jane Street does made me feel somehow sorry for these people who are stuck making undiscerning myopic bets for their own sake instead of using their intellect for something productive.

In the end, Lewis tries a shock twist: what if the bankruptcy lawyers are the bad guys after all? It’s unsubstantiated by anything in the book and just comes across as desperation on his part to close the book with something more satisfactory than “it was all a tremendous waste of time and other people’s money.”
What about the opposite? Computer Science for lawyers?
Apple doesn’t even fit in there, it is a devices company first. AINA: Apple, Intel, Nvidia, and AMD, these companies actually design physical things that have to deal with the hostility of the real world, IMO they are much more impressive.

Go ahead and read this book if you are fascinated by the psychology and character and life of Sam Bankman-Fried. I can't imagine a more boring subject--the man-baby is one of the most depressing public figures I have come across in my time in tech. I've seen his selfishness, self-absorption, and privilege many many times among startup founders. What Lewis is actually selling here and what he is always peddling in his books is a breezy, readable way to understand complex subjects for a readership who can't be bothered to learn the details, and crypto is a perfect candidate. His act is wearing thin, and The Blind Side exposed just how lazy his approach appears to be. He can pretend this book isn't about how clueless people like him can be taken in by a recognizable conman and sociopath, but that is what this book is about.

That's what one should do, but I generally see the incentives setup all wrong.

The most common scenario is that the fresh young smart ** hoodwinks the boss into giving them 1-2 years and 2 subordinates to help them do the rewrite in isolation. They come off all support rotas and have no responsibility for BAU operation of the old codebase. The old codebase is left with usually a same or larger team maintaining and still adding new features.

The other way I've seen this done is that senior management really wants the rewrite, shops around for a candidate internal or internal who promises to do it.. and then basically same setup as above.

Setting up an explicit "good" and "bad" team creates awful vibes, the "good" team never delivers and starts exiting as accountability starts to creep in.

Meanwhile the "bad" team hemorrhages staff continuously from the burn out of maintaining the old thing with less people while also being told your job has an expiration date.

I agree with you. Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinians should stop and the mistreatment those countries do should also stop and I don’t think we should let any of those countries do want they want with the excuse that some other country is also doing a similar bad thing.

I also think that when criticizing China we don’t need to bring up criticism of Israel in some kind of “equal criticism” principle to avoid offending China or visa vera.
Poincaré moved knowlage forward but could never let go of the concept of aether.

I recently had this discussion at work. There's a difference between writing software that will be seen again in a few months and writing software that probably will never be touched again (or at least touching it again will be pretty risky). Identifying which one you're working on is super important.

When you're writing software that is touched fairly often, the "tribal knowledge" of how it works will likely live-on. You can be a little bit clever at times, you don't need to comment as heavily, and your variable names can be a bit wonky.

When you're writing software that is hardly ever touched ... everything needs to be crystal clear. Write lots of comments, explaining the "why" things are the way they are. You want to avoid cleverness except in the name of performance (but then comment how you expect it to work so that when someone comes along to change it, they understand wtf you are doing and the constraints you used to define the code). It's a totally different ballgame.

AI doesn't get this distinction, hell, most programmers don't either.

I think it's kind of similar with Plato, the value you get is going to be really correlated to the quality of videos you put in (I'm working on making the suggestions here be better quality right now too)

But I do think that there is still value to something like Duolingo, if it get's you to do at least a bit of learning over doom scrolling that's a good thing (even if it's much less effective than other methods). I think the problem comes up when something like Duolingo pretends to be better than it is and convinces people that otherwise WOULD be using the better techniques to learn, that's a bad thing, but if it's a replacement to nothing that's probably a net good

(also I actually did use Duolingo to learn German (B1-ish), and it helped as a starting point for vocab and simple grammar, I learned the most with friends and time in Germany but I don't think I would've been able to take advantage of that time without Duolingo... but your milage vary)

what is to stop the law firm from doing it again in another state?
Like the right to talk outside the penalty of perjury for their defence of course. Since small claims don't have to use actual lawyers, they are not subject to all the enforcement that lawyers are subject to, so I guess the system is not as rigorous. I suppose the discovery is mostly an artesanal process while in a real court it is a highly reagulated thing where the lawyer's ability to work in the future is on the line.

For example you don't really have a special agent interrogating the defence in a small claim court, so that's one way for perjury not to be a factor.
