Congratulations on launching!

I think you should tone down the marketing fluff. This text has too many buzzwords and lacks substance. Your tool is to be used by technical people who usually want understand what the product really is and not waste time translating vague terms ("digital performance monitoring", "commitment to innovation", "transcend limitations", "embark on a journey", etc). Honestly, it feels like it was generated by a not so great LLM prompt.

I couldn't figure out what this was just by reading it and had to spend some time in the website to figure it out (it seems to be a PagerDuty/OpsGenie, StatusPage, UptimeRobot competitor that ingegrates with Slack/JIRA, please correct me if I'm wrong).

Your website asks the question "what sets us apart?" but nothing in the answers set you apart. After reading it, I don't know what's wrong with your competitors and how you are different. Again, lack of substance and unsubstantiated claims.

Hopefully I didn't come out too harsh, apologies if that was the case. It's just by initial impression of the product. I'm sure it's a capable product but you may have trouble getting noticed if you don't nail down the message.

I was responding to a comment about courts saying you can't waive rights away in contracts. I posed the NDA as a counter-example.
20x increase happened to me as well. My first full-time coding job paid around 2.5k PLN after taxes, while my highest paying job so far paid around 50k PLN after taxes. That was over the span of a bit over 15 years, with low inflation over entire timespan.
Why did you comment this? If a actual commenter replied with some of those points there could be a back-and-forth discussion about it, but you just contributed nothing.

It never is a problem until it is. Insurance companies in Germany are also not benevolent. If there is a case where they do not have to pay they won't. If they can use data to save money they will do it, even if it worsens your conditions.
Only if resistance to significant mechanical stress is required. Which isn't at all necessary for VR headsets, as others use plastic and have no mechanical issues with it.
If you are someone with an anger problem, here’s how to address it:

When you feel yourself getting angry, just ask yourself “does this issue REALLY matter”.

If it really matters then by god get angry. If it doesn’t matter then why bother?

I rarely if ever got angry again after I started asking myself this, cause not much actually matters.
Not related does anyone know how to block promotional SMS from marketing services where there is not a number to block?
you don’t need to read anything into it. the intended outcome of an increase in efficiency is an increase in money. efficiency is a polite way to say “more money for me.”

the main driver is “more money for me,” meaning more money for zuck, more money for shareholders, more money for the employees that remain.
Good on agile for restating what works and putting it in an fashionable, easy to understand framework, then.

But bad on agile for letting charlatans co-opt the term.
I actually don’t think that’s too relevant of a question. If there’s a high amount of suffering and cruelty, along with a mental philosophy that allows for happiness in spite of that (for the survivors), that still doesn’t make the suffering ok. To say otherwise is to take a step toward justifying slavery if the slaves are conditioned to be happy…

wonder what they talk about after work.
That's true, and an important consideration. I'm not an ESP fanboy, but I really do appreciate it as an engineer for how simple and cheap the development boards are, especially considering things like ESPhome exist. It's kind of ridiculous how many projects can be built by just writing a yaml file and a little soldering - https://esphome.io/guides/diy.html
More than this- people you employ will generate work for themselves. In the process, they will probably also generate work for everyone else, diminishing the total capacity of the company (and possibly, in turn, requiring even more hires).
> The ladder isn’t really taller. Most EMs end up clustered at the equivalent of L6/staff engineer. Promotions to senior manager and beyond are situational and rare. Meanwhile, my peers on the engineering ladder get promoted when ready, without needing to wait for the stars to align.

This sounds like an anecdote tainted with confirmation and survivorship bias. Most SWEs get stuck at senior (especially at Google), getting clustered at L6 is already a privilege relatively speaking. Promotions to L6 are not super rare but less than a majority get them. Promotion to a L7+ is a struggle, if you say most of your peers get there naturally maybe you discounted those who left because they can't get promoted, or you just didn't happen to make many friends with people below your job level ? Or, as a senior manager, are you really sure you see that more than half of the team you manage reach L6+ and a good number to L7 just by waiting?

Now I do agree that the EM path doesn't open as many doors as some old school people think (especially since high level ICs tend to lead in some way too), but at least promotion opportunities doesn't seem to be thinner for EM than IC.

"Engineer"?!? Given above description, that makes me cry.
What do people think ECC is going to do for them, and what do they think will happen when an ECC event is triggered?
We have a mandatory Sonar scan, and when I was hired, my tech lead proudly shown me the "A" grade they have been attributed, and said something like "we have a high standard to maintain"

I have never seen such poorly written application in my 6 years of experience (and I am not only talking about style, stuff was absolutely utterly broken, while they had no clue what's wrong).

I hate Sonar with passion. It only ever should be used to report vulnerabilities, not telling me to rename variables or that i "should refactor this code duplication!" I already have a fucking backlog with Jira tickets, don't tell what i am supposed or not to do, and when i am supposed to do it.

How much I love these solutions where you're stripped of your rights to privacy be default, but if you want it back you need to invest your free time in order to go through the awesome process of bureaucracy, really for these people we're just disposable beings that should be ready to give up their limited time in order to act on any bullshit politicians think about
I love how circular neoliberals argue, lobbying and regulatory capture are a real problem with big pharma, to fix it the government really should put them under heightened scrutiny and regulation. These politicians are really corrupt, they should really stop being corrupt.

Here is a wild idea: Perhaps the core of the problem just simply IS for-profit health care itself. Perhaps if someone has cancer, nobody should profit?

They don't face much competition for datacenter locations in Europe. Germany has a really good location being relatively centered to the continent depending on the city, and DE CIX as a gigantic internet exchange. Most datacenters are located around that exchange. The only two locations that come close to Frankfurt am Main in datacenter count to my knowledge are Paris and Amsterdam, but neither has that geographical advantage for latency.
The modern variations of Scrum and Agile exist to empower certain people to rule over teams without having to do much, if any, work.

The team is self-organizing but person X is the decision maker in the process.

There is an engineering manager, but they will get overruled by person X more often than not.

The framework is simple, but person X will add new rules.

Agile/Scrum says people must understand the domain, but person X is the only one talking to stakeholders since engineers are "not people persons".

Some devices with 13th gen Intel processors support in-band ECC. This basically hides a fraction of RAM from the OS and uses it for ECC.

Example devices are: LattePanda Sigma [0] and AsRock Industrial NUCS BOX-1360P [1].

Unfortunately they are quite expensive and enabling in-band ECC lowers performance significantly. So my next server rig will likely have an AMD PRO CPU instead.

Maybe only generate a new url when they ctrl + s or hit a save button? This would be more like what you want? I think CodePen does this idr. Or keep a revision list in localstorage with all urls that would have been generated.
It’s people operating the drones, there is a human in the loop. Although it’s more because of a lack of proper guidance ai than the lack of will.

Even with semi-autonomous Switchblades there is always a human choosing the initial targets - thanks to the voice in the post and other like this military has agreed that fully autonomous systems are something we should approach very carefuly and only under very specific scenarios.
For me, my Valve Index has completely changed how I do 3D modelling, I suppose this would do the same for many people.

We programmers are quite the outsiders, and sometimes its hard for us to understand how others see computers.

It's better to be patient before jumping to conclusions, this goes for first impressions or what we think it's gonna happen.
I certainly had no intention of attempting to put words in your mouth, but I believe the words you wrote have the implications that I highlighted.

I disagree that I am being dishonest. I stand by the fact that the money is stolen. Bank rescues are financed through the monetisation of government debt, this causes monetary debasement which directly confiscates purchasing power of those who hold the money, without their permission. This fits the definition of theft.
then why did it get so many comments?

you seem to be protecting people from discussing what they want to discuss

in addition, I wrote 2 first comments asking people to focus on a deeper conversation

and my focus was both in my forcefully changed title and in my first article-like comment that what is actually happening is attacking web capabilities

the first 2 comments were mine, an article and an ask towards the community to discuss things on a higher level (tech, legal) and forget these emotional outbursts that I hate pwa and I just dont want you to install another browser and that oh I love my walled garden because peopel just can use Safari with its protections

even if my thread was also flooded with not too deep comments, I think shadow banning was uncalled for!

nobody changed the misleading title here:

There is no need to mount read only if you forward the logs somewhere else.
I honestly believe there's a whole space of exploration into how balancing / channeling emotions the way you describe. It's the dual of depression somehow.. if you let papercuts lock you down you get into a depressive spiral. Tapping into anger flips this around.. key is to convert it into genuine planning / thinking / acting and not destruction :) And this goes beyond programming.. probably worth knowing for one's life globally.
I think local storage and keyboard shortcuts might be a good alternative - thanks for the suggestion :)
Yes. They use them like that.
I'm halfway through the article and one of the suggestions seems to be to understand why we're feeling angry at the moment.

This got me thinking: philosophy and psychology are in part ways to understand ourselves and the world around us. Are there any ways in which more and better _understanding_ does not necessarily lead to a better, more fulfilling life? How important do you think understanding ourselves and the world around us is, for that matter?
> So, if you're tired of keeping up with the latest hot thing in tech, a management role can provide a well-deserved relief. Do keep an eye on what's happening on the tech side of things, but there's no urgency, and no need to get real deep.

This is such a poor advice. In any company that has a dozens customers, your team is likely to face technical problems. When your team faces a problem and you are unable to solve it, your team will notice that and they will stop looking up to you. In fact, any engineer who solves the problem will be the hero everyone admires. The approach mentioned by the author makes you a good "boss", but not necessarily a good "manager" or "supervisor" or "leader".

> Life of an engineer is relatively relaxed. If you don't have anything urgent, you can go lay on the grass for half a day, thinking about the future of your project or something. You can miss a few meetings on short notice, no questions asked.

In which company does this happen, I wonder!

adtech monetizes your browsing data by collecting it across lots of sites we visit, and aggregating them all to build a profile.

It's true that wiping cookies was the most effective to prevent building up this trail of cookies from every visited site adhered to those ad companies.

But this seems to me like a solved issue since Mozilla deployed their Total Cookie Protection [1] with Firefox i.e. each domain has its own isolated set of cookies.

I make it a policy to never donate to a situation I hear about on the internet, especially if there’s a gofundme. Maybe that’s an overreaction it just seems like a good heuristic for ‘this is likely a scam’
That is basically it, but in too much quantities.
This inertia holding ECC away from desktops is just so dumb. As if me doing banking, taxes and everything else on desktop is less important than some server hosting cat pictures. Or as if ECC would truly represent any meaningful part on higher end system total cost. Or as if I would even have the option of simply paying some premium to get ECC, when in practice desktop Xeon availability and selection are both extremely limited.

Of course the benefit of ECC can be debated. But it seems such a waste to bother debating it when Intel could just make the whole thing a non-issue by a flick of a switch.

> practically nobody should be running computers w/o ECC

Why? I’ve done so my whole life with zero problems.
I don’t find they are valued like that. IME most devs who use them perceive them as annoying boilerplate. Proof being how Lombok or Records are generally well received among the younger gen.

The problem on this topic is that they cargo cult getters/setters by inertia, usually because more experienced engs pass it on as good practice.

It’s not an inherent problem to the language.

Without systems like this (patriot and the others) people in Ukraine would be without heat and electricity last winter and this winter. I don’t know if you followed the stats - I did (it’s a neigboring country to mine and I have friends there), and it was dosens of rockets&drones a day targetting civilian infrastructure right in the middle of winter. Since patriot and other defence systems were set up, over 90% iirc attacks were repelled.
Even for the garage door opener use case, one nice thing about Pi is you can run Cloudflare tunnel on it – you can then access it from the internet without messing with port forwarding or TLS certificates.
I run ssh, https server (with some dynamic pages written in python), there is a 3T disk attached to get files, I download torrent.

The other ones have touchscreens and speaker attached, I use them to listen to internet radio, watch cartoons and control relays.

Your cheaper solution doesn't allow for any of this to happen.
>I don't know much about the US but I assumed you don't have draft since the Vietnam war? And this is why USA army has to actually produce cool ads as opposed to Russian army who just takes people.

You are correct. Conscription and the draft are essentially the same. I believe conscription is when you enter military service regardless of wartime, while the draft is explicitly to fill ranks. I could be wrong on that though.

>Are you suspecting that the law would be changed to enable draft?

Yes, if we get into a large scale war without the ability to recruit enough volunteers, most certainly. Currently our recruiting numbers are way down. The US has had a draft/conscription throughout most of its history. Current times since 1973 are an anomaly.

Also, the law is already in place. Every male citizen, when they turn 18 must register with the Selective Service, which is responsible for the draft.

However, conscription remains in place on a contingency basis; all male U.S. citizens, regardless of where they live, and male immigrants, whether documented or undocumented, residing within the United States, who are 18 through 25 are required to register with the Selective Service System.[2][3] United States federal law also continues to provide for the compulsory conscription of men between the ages of 17 and 44 who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, U.S. citizens, and additionally certain women, for militia service pursuant to Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution and 10 U.S. Code § 246.[4][5][6]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_the_United_Sta...

In fact, reinstitution the draft is required by law:

A national emergency, exceeding the Department of Defense’s capability to recruit and retain its total force strength, requires Congress to amend the Military Selective Service Act to authorize the President to induct personnel into the Armed Forces.

The term for a person who pushes for war without any intention of serving themselves is called a Chickenhawk. I'm just reminding all the people who are pushing for escalation with Russia that if war happens, they will likely be drafted and aren't just sending the mostly poor kids to fight their war. To those people I say, be careful what you wish for.

Have you looked at the patent? How is that supposed to be the Vision Pro?

It's just a pair of sky googles with 2 displays in front of the eyes, connected to an Airpod for watching media. It's not so much Vision Pro as it is Nintendo Virtual Boy. Actually the virtual boy was more advanced since it let you play games.

That kind of stereo display headset for watching videos inputs from external sources has existed since the 70's, long before Apple's patent 2007. How did they even get a patent for it? Another proof the patent system is broken since it seems they'll let you patent anything.

Torvalds went on his lengthy post to say, "The "modern DRAM is so reliable that it doesn't need ECC" was always a bedtime story for children that had been dropped on their heads a bit too many times. Yes, I'm pissed off about it. You can find me complaining about this literally for decades now. I don't want to say "I was right". I want this fixed, and I want ECC. And AMD did it. Intel didn't."

In a large tech company not really. The Product Manager or Staff engineers build things using other engineers. The Engineering Manager uses their blood and sweat to lubricate the corporate cogs to make that process a bit more efficient.

Perhaps you meant profit? Revenue isn't impacted by costs (theoretically), but profit is. Unless you were implying that lower costs would drive Netflix/Disney/etc to produde more content which would in turn encourage subscriptions and thus revenue.
I think what was meant is lightweight.

Of course a web app can be heavyweight or lightweight just as a native app. Still in a sense that smaller companies might publish smaller apps as web apps to have only one codebase justifies a web app niche for lightweight apps.
I ran a rpi for 2 years with no reboot.
Agreed with this. I feel like everyone complains about new Apple products. “The watch is square, no one will want it.”

Apple is still doing fine. I'm at least going to wait a few years before making claims about the Vision Pro being a failure.
This looks pretty reasonable overall, but it seems like it could have been implemented far more simply.

It appears they are emailing PDF copies of stock market transactions to fulfill a regulatory requirement, so the PDF generation should be deterministic and email delivery of a receipt is an idempotent operation.

Instead of all that scheduled orchestration complexity they could just queue their PDF jobs to SQS and do the work in a Lamba function, this would also let them queue the PDFs as the transactions are happening instead of continuing to run this as a nightly batch job.

It's also unclear why render + sign + add to mail queue need to be 3 separate queued tasks. They have to execute serially, so a single worker could do the whole process and checkpoint to S3 after each step, or not because the output is deterministic anyway.

It would also eliminate their issues with S3 request limits by keeping all the data relevant to a PDF local to 1 worker for the duration of processing.
