I'd be very curious to hear from other highly paid/desirable careers like doctors and lawyers (and even "real" engineers) about how their hiring pipeline works - is this unique to software developers?

The checkbox label is often my thumb’s target. A pox on the house of any dev who doesn’t properly use a _for_ attribute.
Last night I changed some solid-js ui code to replace mutating game in ui state with updating ui state with mutated clones (cloning is efficient & shares most data, optimizations made for AI efficiency long ago)

ofc, with these stale game references around, I soon got reports of broken things: targeting was broken, pvp was broken, fade out animations were broken

A few hours later these issues were resolved. The players are used to these things happening sometimes. It's fine since the stakes are low. It's just a game after all. & being free, the active playerbase understands that they're QA
> Apple used to see IBM as the bad guy but somehow they've become a thousand times worse than IBM ever was.

I think you would have a hard time establishing that 202x Apple is worse for independent developers than "Big Blue" IBM, let alone three orders of magnitude worse.
Accelerationism is the best way to go at it since it ensures either a quick death or a fix and not the ugly in-between we're all starting to slowly catch a glimpse of
Somewhat unexpectedly, [1] which is based on actual university research, reports the opposite: Figure 9 says people who had more guests at their wedding report better marriage outcomes - even after controlling for income, education, race/ethnicity and religiousness.

Of course, if you want to discard the research and stick with your anecdotes, it was partly funded by a charity founded by a guy who believed in 'strong families'.

After all they are formal portraits. Before photography, people used to commission these so their likeness would be preserved to future generations. "Interesting" isn't the primary quality people were looking for.
From an empirical assessment, volume has gotten bigger. Part of it stems from the devices getting bigger as well.
However, I would wager energy density hasn't improved as much as the increase in volume, given that devices got bigger first.

I think this can also be corroborated by the fact that there are less and less small smartphones options. And while there are some, they're plagued by poor battery performance. See latest iPhone SE.

There's indeed, by this logic, reason to believe less space taken by other components lead to better battery life by the sheer volume available as a result.
> First world problems.

Second actually. But not sure how cold war allegiances have anything to do with the topic in question.

> Yes, they are wired.

That is the point. If we treat the downsides of one technology as given and baseline then of course the other technology will look deficient compared to it. But if we look at the pros and cons of both technologies we might see why people prefer one to the other.

> Apple said 'fuck you consumers you will eat it and ask for more', consumers ate it and asked for more and idiots followed the suit, too.

Not really classy calling people idiots. Especially when you are just chatting with someone who is taking the point of view you are calling idiotic.

> you tell me what I need to ditch my wire headphones,

Done no such a thing. You do whatever you want to and I'm wishing you the best with it. I'm merely explaining why I prefer my wireless headphones. You know, just comparing notes on existence among fellow travellers.

> I love what I can forget my headphones for a month and they would still work even if I forgot to charge them the last time I used them, lol.

I will give you that. That is a bummer. I walked today to the shop an wanted to listen to my DnD podcast and my headphone announced that it is running low on battery. I was worried it will cut out on me and I will have to wait before I can learn how the intrepid heroes deal with the nightmare king. Luckily it kept working for the walk. But yeah that is a bummer.

Just wow. Good for Apple! I DO want IOS to remain a walled garden as such. Look how many clicks those pesky do good gov regulators have a cost the world with those annoying "Yes I accept your damn cookies and privacy policy" on every website I visit.

Writing apps for IOS is a completely voluntary job where you know the terms before you start. Don't like it? Don't write it -or- just pass on the cost to the consumers.

Quit complaining about the noise when you bought a house next to an airport.
My attitude about safety of AI is this: if AI is an existential risk dangerous enough to justify draconian measures, we're ultimately fucked, since those measures would have to be perfect for all future times and places humans exist. Not a single lapse could be allowed.

And it's just not plausible humanity could be that thorough. So, we might as well assume AI is not going to be that dangerous and move ahead.
I was being facetious, of course. Most permit applications do not end up in court cases, let alone in the Supreme Court. But that is the very case I was referring to.

However, that case did not narrow the definition of the phrase “waters of the United States” at all. No, it merely prevented the EPA from widening it over time. Keep in mind that the Sackett’s property does not actually contain a wetland or navigable waterway; it just has a ditch that occasionally channels rainwater away from their lawn. This returns us to the definition that the EPA decided on in the 1970s and 1980s.
This is an interesting point of view. Reminds me in some sense of some of the ethical justifications behind land value tax or property taxes.

The intention of legally enforced ownership is primarily to encourage development - and not to incentivize speculation as we seem to be doing in many situations. It seems reasonable to tax such speculation.

I'm inclined to agree with you.
Also, because those big name institutions have bias towards certain types of students - and train them to think/act in certain ways.

It often works, which is why they do it.

Exactly. Having kids is inversely correlated with income. It's exactly the opposite argument about affordability.

My wife was an only child from a wealthy family; short of destroying the relationship with her mother, we had little say in the cost of the wedding[1]. That being said, it really was a lovely wedding and a good time was had by all.

1: We compromised; the ceremony was all us, her mom planned the reception, with input from us. It is still mind-boggling to me how much her mom was invested; they normally get along fine (both before and since), but I was seriously worried that planning the wedding would destroy their relationship.
Ah, my bad. I didn't know the levels of delusion had gone that far.
I don’t think the text of the law says anything remotely about Apple’s margins for access to their users being too high. How then can that be in the spirit of the law?

If you disagree, educate me.
Imagine if you said the same thing about computers: why do you need to install sw from anything but Microsoft store? Why can't you sideloader people need a different browser than Internet Explorer?
This is a key point. Before windows we had all the dos players - WordPerfect was king. Microsoft was more focused on the Mac. I’ve always assumed that Microsoft understood that a GUI was coming and trained a generation of developers on the main gui of the day. Once windows came out the dos focused apps could not adapt in time

PTX is just an ISA too. Programming languages annd ISA representations are effectively fungible, that’s the lesson of Microsoft CLR/Intermediate Language and Java too. A “machine” is a hardware and a language.
There are lots of schools in rural Pennsylvania that still have affordable real estate. Most of them have AP, college in HS courses, clubs, sports, etc. The metrics might not look as good as suburban schools because of the lack of home support or need to work for the larger percentage of disadvantaged students.

I think that's a part that gets ignored in most school comparisons - the largest differences are due to the level of home support, which is highly correlated with better incomes. So we have a cycle of implicit financial segregation. Many schools (in my area) have similar scores and outcomes if we exclude the disadvanged group from the metrics (because unless your child fits that category, that metric doesn't apply to them). So most people end up counting the wrong metrics for their kids.

> TikTok never holds you hostage, you can flip through all videos (including ads) instantly.

Dark UI is in play to keep you hostage. The instant gratification is designed to keep your mind hostage.

> TikTok content is an order of magnitude better than what makes its way to reels

It's specifically selected. There is a bar you have to meet if you wish to be on the main screen.

> TikTok's algorithm customizes itself to your interests based on what you watch so effortlessly and quickly.

In comparison this is like offering an alcoholic to try an NIPA when only promising to let them have an single IPA.
> I've always thought math would be much easier to learn if they used descriptive variable names.

I think the variable names are already picked to be descriptive. No one is picking them to be more obscure or harder to track. The problem is that those who are starting out still haven't picked up concepts or learned the standard notations for each problem domain, thus we are left with the pain of ramping up on a topic.
Even looking past the time aspect which you slipped in (rent late, wages unpaid are definitionally different: unpaid is not, by necessity, late, and late is not necessarily "never going to arrive") wages are the payment of labor performed and rent is the payment of use of private property. Rent-seeking is derided behavior (by economists!) for this exact reason: A landlord does not (in the vast, vast, vast majority of cases) add value to a property: they merely own a thing, and charge people who need access to it, to access it. It's the free-market version of wind-drag: you aren't contributing anything, you're just taking a slice of production you haven't earned because you own a thing that's necessary for the larger system to operate.
So true. Thank goodness for Microcenter and B&H. Especially the latter still has a hand-curated product selection.
I mean, neither is great, but the one written by a human will generally be less irritating.
I think that’s a little disingenuous, it already works for the rest of the world so of course they had time to implement it, grabbing where you live via an internal API and disabling functionality is easier to do than implementing a browser selection prompt and exposing possibly new APIs to new browsers.
Not to dissuade or discourage but having a cli tool on top a cli tool on top a cli tool is kind of ridiculous and says a lot more about web dev these days.

Wouldn’t someone using Shadcn just use their cli and install all the things? Wouldn’t a company using Shadcn have their own git or npm of which they can install custom private packages? I’m at a loss at what exactly the value prop of this is.
The author lacks any context for what accelerationism is.

The original idea comes from Marxists advocating for the adoption of free market capitalism as a means of bringing about the alienation of the working class, which is a necessary precondition for socialist revolution.

The idea of effective accelerationism (which was a joke making fun of people like Musk and SBF) is the rapid, uncontrolled promotion of AI as a means of destroying the entire tech industry and all that surrounds it.
That's what happens when your primary business model is selling to the military. They had to pay what IBM charged them (within a small bit of reason) and it was incredibly difficult for them to pivot away from any path they chose in the 80's once they had chosen it.

However, that same logic doesn't apply to consumers, and since they continued to fail to learn that lesson now IBM doesn't even target the consumer market given that they never learned how to be competitive and could only ever effectively function when they had a monopoly or at least a vendor lock-in.

> Some parents instill work ethic in their children even teens, sadly we do not have many good parents these days it seems like

It turns out that there is a lot more to what makes a person than just the behaviour of their parents.
You'd probably want to control for wealth to get good data. Marriage duration is correlated with wealth, and wealthy people probably spend more on everything, weddings included.

[edit] nevermind, the the posted link claims the figures are controlled for several factors, including income and education, which both correlate with wealth.
I liked the April Ludgate + Ron Swanson one for Mt Dew. You'd have to be a Parks & Rec fan though to like it.

I'd much rather see sitcom characters rehashed in silly commercials like that than reunion style shows - those always tend to miss the mark. A 30s spot with some witty lines is enough for me to reminisce.
> But if you don't work at least 40hrs a week on salary, we're docking your pay.

I've never encountered such a system in my 20+ years being paid a salary. What companies do this? Worked for two European firms (including one very large one) and two large American firms during that time. Is it something small companies try to do?
> Invalidity arguments and IPRs suddenly aren't things?

I'm sure that you're aware that when you go to court, the result is never certain. Bad ruling happen all the time.
No, it's not like that. I write excoriating pieces in the Times
Higher, completely damning the UK university system as "unfit for
teaching and leaning" [0], and they still call me and ask "can you
just cover this class?".

Amusing as that desperation is, in a way it's more terrifying how the
machinery of blind capitalism works. The system isn't capable of
sentiment like that. They don't care what I say. It's just business.
They're not there keeping a score of 'friends' and 'enemies'.

Universities run on people like me who are of the "academic mindset",
who can and will do things like teaching because we love it as a
vocation even though the salary is a quarter or fifth of what is on
offer privately.

In the end, the only solution is to say no, even when you'd really
like to do it. It's a weird modern tragedy.

HR being openly discriminatory is only an issue if someone actually penalizes them for it. The DOL is openly requiring companies to discriminate (affirmative action), and ignoring 'desirable' discrimination claims (which is required for affirmative action to work in a down economy), so why should they care?

And to be frank - did you sue them? Or try to sue them? Seems to be working no?
This is not particularly advanced. Mercedes offers “Distronic” since 1999 and it seems Mitsubishi developed something similar even around 1992.

To clarify, Apple can't see our source code but I imagine they can easily diff things like binary size and have basic decompiler tools to analyze things like what system APIs are called (how they bust you for private API use etc).

When we ship an update that adds a whole new branch of functionality that adds camera/mic interactions where there were none before (with all the new entitlements that requires) and the reviewer approves it without ever launching the app I laugh at comments like the GP
Same here. Studied it in 2 different countries, and it was always presented as "trying to explain black body radiation". I think UV catastrophe was merely mentioned as a side note.
A friend of mine escaped the Myanmar coup via bitcoin, so I don't think it's a purely zero-value enterprise. I agree, and there are many economists who also agree, that there is a strong odor of "tulips". But that's literally been the line from the haters for over a decade.

That said, I was laughing off environmental concerns over it until I read that, electrically, it's effectively a 'ghost state' in the US.

https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/93654/blue-and-gray-paten... (Blue and Gray) - this particular one is well known because Sid Sackson went trawling through patents and found it and wrote about it. From https://archive.org/details/gamutofgames0000sack/page/9/mode...

> THE FILES OF PATENTS that have been granted are a fruitful hunting ground for forgotten games, although going through these files, as anyone who has ever been involved in a patent search well knows, is a time consuming job. Often the patented games are downright silly, such as a set of dominos made of rubber so that they can double as ink erasers (No. 729,489) or a sliding block puzzle with edible pieces so that a player who despairs of a solution can find consolation in gratifying his stomach (No. 1,274,294). Often the patents are repetitious: There are over a hundred variations of the well-known checkerboard and over a thousand different baseball games.

> But often the patented games are a fascinating reflection of their time: races to the North Pole, war games to capture the Kaiser, automobile games, in the infancy of the automobile, and radio games for the crystal-set fanatic.

This paper is nice but appears to stretch its result quite a bit.

First, the authors make a general claim about "most physics textbooks" without providing a single example. I think one will often encounter more nuanced statements in the better and more widely used textbooks.

And I think the paper sorely lacks evidence for the general claim in the concluding sentence: "The idea that physics progress through a series of crisis, is hard to defend." Not only do they present only a single example, but even in that case one could claim that the "crisis" started after the discovery of Planck's formula! After all, it fitted the data supremely well but required this mystery constant: h.

It took physicist a quarter century to resolve the deeper meaning of Planck's constant. If that was not a crisis in physics then I do not know what would qualify as one.

Extreme times promote extreme behaviour. He was a terrible human, and the regime he was fighting was too.
TL;DR: stream lag "ruins" watching the game. Maybe if you were in Kansas City and people start setting off fireworks before the critical play being celebrated showed up on the stream or -- like in my house -- my wife decided to go "quietly watch" on her phone but the screaming from my kids and me pretty much gave away that something big was about to happen.

But is that "ruining" the experience? I would argue that it allows for meaningful multi-tasking. I've watched college basketball games on ESPN+ while listening to the radio broadcast which is about 45 seconds ahead of the stream and this allows me to work on other things while listening and when something big happens I can see/relive in real time what just happened by watching the stream. In those cases streaming IMPROVES the viewing experience because I can be somewhat productive instead of being completely locked on the video/TV or miss seeing big plays.

The internet is being ruined in the same way most Art Deco, and Arts and Crafts architecture is being ruined in the US. Turned into cookie cutter, boxes with windows with absolutely no personality at all.

Take a look at any shopping mall still alive today, and find pictures of it when it was first opened for example.

From beautiful waterfalls and fountains with foliage, to dime store prints and pastel color patterns. The internet is the same now.
To continue your point, here is my proposal to replace intellectual property: Pay the inventor for their work, not the result of that work.

This has several advantages:

1. Inventors get paid to fail. Failure is a critical step in the process of invention.

2. Inventors get paid immediately. How can an inventor be expected to have time to invent something if their only means of income happens after the work of invention? Any person who is working should earn a living.

3. An inventor can quit. If you aren't getting anywhere on a project, then you can go do something else!

4. Another inventor can pick up where they left off. Fresh eyes bring new perspective.
