iPhone was an obvious win as they were presenting it.

Apple Watch was pretty mid, but people like watches and fitness bands, so it seemed to gain some traction.

These goggles required so much tech and research and also have a massive price tag for what is realistically a novelty and possibly small evolution over current work flows. It doesn’t feel like it will be bigger than Apple Watch.

Those "engineers" go on _The List_
The broader spec that OPFS is part of is (was?) suppose to give you just that:

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/capabilities/web-apis/file...

This is another instance where Apple threw up their rails, and Firefox also seized the opportunity to throw up some rails. I don't think all their concerns were justified because you can control with very fine permissions what is and isn't exposed to the browser, which was the main source of contention.

No alternative was presented. I believe this can be done in a privacy friendly way (the main stay of the objections). These are smart engineers, some of the best and the brightest, who supposedly are good at solving thorny problems. Simply, I think Apple didn't want to do it because it was remotely threatening to their iOS App Store and I wonder if some kind of anti-trust litigation may eventually expose their leadership around webkit like this. Then we'll know once and for all if its a grand conspiracy or not, I suppose

> that you are not receiving from the same direction as you are sending

It's a thrill to think about that. Starlink is really out there.

I bet this is lost on a lot of people. Not to patronize anyone, but what Tuna-Fish is pointing out is that due to the speed of light, the distance between satellites and their relatives velocities, when one satellite is beaming data to another satellite it must aim where the receiving satellite will be, as opposed to where it is now, when the light arrives. Further, the receiver must be looking at where the transmitter was back when the signal was sent, as opposed to where the transmitter is now. And because this is all bidirectional, each satellite must send and receive in different, continuously changing directions at the same time.
Links between satellites closing range near 2x orbital speed have two problems:
- bigger doppler
- the lifetime of the link is much shorter
Betting they have a new item in their compromise runbook. :-)
WinG
Interesting question. It used to be zero, before the satellites and before the rockets, but now is probably not zero.

I think you could take the time a rocket would be in the way and compare it to the time it would take any given satellite link pair to make an orbit to form an estimate of the chance of a single interference. Then multiply by rockets and satellite pairs to form an overall estimate.
Did you read the first footnote I wrote in the piece? It’s actually about this exact thing you are talking about:

In many graphical interfaces that expect a mouse as input, the programmers will make the clickable area of the upper row buttons the same as the lower row ones, although this will be invisible at first. You can hover with your mouse over the buttons and then, magically, a button shape will appear. It’s not going to be a nice 3D-button shape however but just an outline. This serves no functional purpose. For instead of showing the user where all the buttons are from the outset, the whole affair becomes sort of a hide and seek game, where users have to guess which item they might be able to click.
To each their own. I find them helpful in specific use cases like learning coding

SEEKING WORK | Vancouver, BC | Remote Only

I have over 20 years of experience in web development but I also have a few years in desktop and mobile. The last few years of my career have been spent as an architect. That means putting together some very complicated projects and integrations to make an entire system work beyond just the code.

* I love startups

* I am a natural leader

* I am naturally self directed and motivated

Some key languages and systems I am most proficient at are Javascript (Node & browser), PHP, HTMX/Hyperscript, Python, Lua, Bash, Zig, AWS (EC2, S3, IAM, ECR, ECS and more, as well as Terraform) and more.

If you have questions, no strings attached, do not hesitate to reach out to me.

I apologize for the state of my resume. I am working on updating it with newer information.

Thank you!
Not sure what you mean? If you are alluding to the OP that said it was surprising...I don't think he found it suprising they they use Bitbucket over Mercurial. I think its safe to assume he meant bitbucket over a Github.

In the git universe there is a pretty short list of services, locally or hosted that you would probably use as an entity as large as cloud flare.
I will note that this is the case for conventional fiber-optic cable. The newer hollow-core fiber cables transmit light at nearly c. As far as I know hollow-core has not seen wide-spread use, but it will be interesting if trans-continental connections switch over.

Just to clarify, I have full control of what I work on, a lot of say in my OKRs and more freedom than anywhere else I've worked in my almost 20 year career.

However, Cloud seems pretty intent on shipping and meeting deadlines so if we commit, I do feel pressure to make that deadline.

Hi! I've been working as a data scientist/MLE for the past 5 years. The last year as a freelancer, and before that working on various NLP tasks at a hedge fund. My generalist skillset with a specialisation in NLP makes me a perfect fit for startups working on generative AI products. I work highly autonomously and thrive in uncertainty. I am available for 32 hours per week until May, and full time after that.

You should be able to unlock the boot rom on hardware you own.

Apple here does not even want to sell a device that would allow you have full ownership.

They will only lease a device with quite a few restrictions if you look at the terms. Moreover only if your “security researcher” it’s freaking insane.

In a sane world this program would not even be needed since if apple did not interfere you could unlock the boot rom yourself
I think the issue here is that it neglects how much overlap there was between being a Physicist and Mathematician in the 1600s-1900. I don't think anyone would say Newton, Gauss, Euler, Lagrange, etc. were not mathematicians and physicists. Very often Astronomy, Optics, Mathematics, etc. were just part of the same fields. Now we have more delineation. And even with mathematics and science, you still need trial and error and engineering to actually make machines.

I suspect "we" is a much smaller group than you imagine. I've gotten pcaps from customers as recently as this year that include unencrypted financial transaction data. These were captured on a router, not an end host, so the traffic was going across the client's network raw.
I've had this happen to me in an interview before, from the other side.

I laughed that I had given them such an easy problem for their chosen language, then said "ok, pretend you went back in time and you're the person writing that function for the std lib" and so they did.

It probably wasn't as optimized as the actual stdlib function but it was good enough for the interview.

I gotta say if someone got heated with me about that request I'd end the interview early and not give them the job too.

The point isn't just providing a solution it's demonstrating that you can work through a simple problem. If you get heated about that during an interview then I don't get any info about your ability to work through problems, and I do get the impression that you're short tempered when asked to do things you don't care about.
I think this probably was a name after the famous Code Red worm [1], not a reference to China.

As a perpetual FOMO / early adopter with a pre-order (arrives tomorrow, can't wait!), I agree.

I feel like phones and even watches are pretty "solved" at this point (witness every discussion around the incremental updates in a new iPhone), which is great.

I'm excited there's potentially a new product category here where there's still a lot of unsolved questions. The form factor will certainly change, and the UX idioms will as well. I look forward to seeing it. I'm interested in the Quests, too, but Apple does have a little magic sometimes and are exploring a bit of a different direction. Exciting times.
> As theories go I like it, but I don't think the headline and conclusion are supported by the article.

Right. What the author doesn't really pick up on is how engineering developed.
Before 1800 or so, science and math were not routinely used by people who built stuff. Edison tended to deride mathematical theorists, although he hired some.

Early navigation and astronomy required math, but that was mostly measurement, not design. The first thing that really required math in the engineering was the steam engine. It's possible to build a steam engine with no understanding of thermodynamics, but it will be a really crappy steam engine. Watt's early engines were about 2% efficient. Carnot, in 1824, published "Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire", which, for the first time, addressed engine design in terms of heat, pressure, efficiency, heat transfer, etc. Around the middle of the 19th century, Joule and Kelvin finally got a decent mathematical theory for heat engines. Engine designs improved substantially and efficiencies went up. At last, direct use of math in engineering was really paying off.

Early electrical work was trial and error. Sort of. Edison publicly derided theorists, but he had some on his payroll. When AC came along, more theory was needed. Now calculus was required. Westinghouse and Tesla got involved, and generators, motors, and transformers started working much better. (I've pointed out before that Tesla's real contribution was that he figured out how to get AC electric motors started.) Good motors require electromagnetic fields in strange shapes, and intuition fails for that. You need math.
People also pay to publish ads disguised as news.
I don't think it's time for an obituary that counts the spinoffs and devkit revenue. FB and Apple got the timeline wrong, but the AR story isn't over. Looking down at phones still fundamentally sucks and eventually AR will be good enough.

Point of comparison: Steve Jobs started talking about the iPhone when someone asked him about the next big thing at the Macintosh premier in 1984. 10 years later, he was fired from Apple and working on bespoke workstations. 20 years later, Palm/Blackberry owned the smartphone market. 30 years later, Apple owned the smartphone market. These stories take time.
Equality is when I'm allowed to prefer people for being Indian off res, unless they're in the 'communist party' which in a baffling exception explicitly authorizes their firing...
While the essay offers an interesting perspective on motivation and corporate culture, I disagree with some of its conclusions. The emphasis on middle managers as the key to resolving the current motivational crisis in the workplace seems overly simplistic. Middle managers indeed play a crucial role in team dynamics and motivation, but the issues at hand are systemic and require a broader approach than simply relying on individual managers.

The disillusionment in corporate culture and the evolving nature of work – especially in the context of remote work – are not problems that can be solely addressed at the managerial level. These issues are deeply rooted in the very structure and philosophy of modern corporations. Factors like job security, work-life balance, and meaningful work are increasingly important to employees. These are not needs that middle managers alone can satisfy; they require fundamental changes in corporate strategies and policies.

Furthermore, the essay seems to downplay the importance of company culture in favor of individual management styles. However, culture and management are not mutually exclusive. A strong, positive corporate culture can significantly enhance the effectiveness of good managers and can help align individual and organizational goals.

I actually think this is more of an aspirational view. Most power has been stripped from middle managers. They aren't making RTO decisions, they're enforcing them. They often aren't making autonomous promotion, pay increase, bonus determinations, they're delivering them. I could go on and one. Middle managers most often are not middle managers, they're hard conversation havers for weak executives pulling strings.
I think I have been pretty clear? I don't care for Musk's projects.
> Alcohol and sugary foods are also engineered to keep people addicted and mess with their mental and physical states

Humans have been drinking alcohol and eating sugary foods for thousands of years. They weren’t “engineered” to do anything. They are just natural substances which humans stumbled upon and found inherently attractive (due to our biological predispositions).

Both are very energy-dense. In a premodern / early modern society in which most people engage in hard physical labour every day, that energy-density is valuable. In a late modern society in which most people are sedentary, it becomes much more harmful.

Many of the negative health consequences of both have only become known in recent decades. And several of those long-term health consequences are only apparent due to increased longevity, in centuries prior many people would have perished due to other causes long beforehand, and even deaths directly attributable to these substances would have seemed less significant against the background of generally higher mortality.
