I think these are weird things listed, does anyone actually believe that? "As a senior, I'll get to play with the latest tech and build amazing projects", "Once I become a senior, I will have more time to relax", etc, I'm pretty sure I've never met anyone who believed that.

I usually go by a very simple definition of seniority that applies broadly. What is the size of a piece that you can give to a person, and be sure it's taken care of? With appropriate support/resources, including more junior teammates on higher levels. As in, they own it, drive it, make sure it's aligned with the next higher level, deal with whatever integration is necessary with other pieces of the same size (i.e. how does this feature/service/platform/org work with other features/services/platforms/orgs). And you don't have to micromanage them.

Specific level names depend on a company, but if someone can deliver a small feature, they are SDE I, or junior or whatever. If someone can deliver/own a reasonable-sized service or a large E2E customer-facing feature, they are a senior. If someone can deliver/own key customer-facing/financial metrics, a large cross-team initiative or basically a set of services / stack, they are staff or principal or whatever. If someone can own an entire org or a company maybe they are a TD/CIO :)

Artificial Intelligence’s integration into the office has sparked significant academic and public debate. Most discussions have focused on its impact on employment. Meanwhile, the consequences on workers’ psychology and behaviour has been largely ignored. A new study, titled ‘Deployment of algorithms in management tasks reduces prosocial motivation’, suggests the opposite is true.
There are many people, like me, who dislike anything Java: the language, the runtime/SDK, and anything built on top of these. I even refuse to install anything that requires the JRE. Might be an irrational stance, but my early experience of JRE hogging my machine turned off it forever.

The CLR is supposed to be open now, but in practice, the ecosystem around it is still basically Microsoft.

"Slovenly" is a precise description of the problem here, up to and including the moral component of that word. "Smear" is also accurate in what I was referring to there: these were clear bad faith attempts to disseminate a falsehood about PV. Your own use was not called a smear, you may just be the kind of useful fool the smear depended on.

One thing I learned after using, designing, and building tons of different software products - there's often a strong correlation between something that is seemingly complex and difficult to start with and then gained simplicity later. Conversely, something that is very easy to get into often becomes extremely difficult to use later, slowing you down with a bunch of arbitrary drawbacks simply because it was never designed for "advanced power users" to begin with. Road to simplicity is rarely a straightforward and effortless journey.

For many people, the most - it's just easier to choose "fast food" of features, instead of painstakingly figuring out how to "make your own burger". And they never build a mental model of "being a cook", they just learn to consume what they've given. There's nothing wrong with that. Except that they often confuse the "there's no other way" with the illusion of "it just works".

Applying to the concrete example you're using, it would take me maybe just 10-15 minutes to whip up an Elisp function that would open each file in its own tab. I don't do that because there are many more empowering and productive ways than having each file in its own tab. Like Einstein one said: "What is right is not always popular and what is popular is not always right".

Is this not similar to the current COPPA regulations that makes having <13 y/o users burdening to the point of prohibiting them on many websites? Or is this significantly different because it technically doesn't ban them, just makes it practically impossible for social media to have them, so the business does the banning?
Its hard to keep American talent. Companies rely on being in an abusive relationship with employees, its easier to abuse outsourced workers than be half way decent.

So basically cancer said, “screw the millennials in particular”? It’s actually a bit darkly comedic.
That's their job...networking I mean. Which is also your job as a business owner.

These are long term relationships where the value of the relationship builds over many years. By which I mean these are ordinary B2B relationships. Which means that if you know of someone else who your new contact might want to meet, introduce them because that will add value to your relationship because it helps the other party stay in business.

And the exhaust fumes of value are that you can be a person who they might want to work with. Because working with people you want to work with is how business relationships work.

Maybe something happens between now and ten years from now. Maybe it doesn't. Your only choice is to be helpful or not. Good luck.

Japan is just better at building stuff. They have very advanced industrial policy which ensures that they have the capacity to manufacture goods and build stuff better than anyone else in the world. Even if the US had a functioning political system, it would still take decades to catch up.

The IRA is a good first step, but it doesn't begin to address the underlying problems in the US economy. If you let the free market decide everything, it will always be more profitable to invest your money in a SAAS company or a suburban strip mall.

The two countries are optimizing for very different things, and are dealing with a very different set of conditions.

I think the former pronunciation is more correct, but...

I see the point of the later if you are prone to verbalize acronyms:

SQL => Verbalized Acronym: "See-Quell" vs Structured Query Language: "Ess-Queue-Ell"

So then See-Cue-lite is a concatenation of the verbalization with the "lite".
Whereas Ess-Cue-Lite is a concatenation of the acronym pronunciation with the "lite".

This probably solve the former question of why some people say both and don't understand why. If the conversation/person is saying "SeeQuel" and "Sass" or "less" etc. then "See-Cue-Lite" fits that dialect. In a dialog with a lot of acronyms e.g. SQS, VPN, AWS, etc. you are probably more likely to go the acronym route i.e. "Ess-Cue-Lite".

The term itself is a bastardization of an acronym and the "lite" term, I'd argue there's no correct pronunciation.
I don’t think it’s exactly recent but the pandemic did make a lot more roles remote. India is just a bit more remote really.
This is about temporarily allowing companies such as TSMC to bring in their specialized fab building construction companies to get these mega projects built on time instead of insisting on fully local non-specialized labor.

I think the key part of the proposal that you are missing is that it eventually (i.e. after a decade) gets rolled back to a normal economic zone and the special foreign privileges get rolled back.

What you want is just insist that a small contingent of local specialized project teams be allowed to shadow the foreign teams. Its a bit of a marshmallow test for unions.

> the single greatest change from Twitter to X is that the app now ships five variations of the "X" logo, each around 1-3 MB. The top-level asset catalog increased from 938 kB to 11.2 MB.

On the contrary, Twitter's threads to me are one of the greatest enhancements to discussion we've ever had.

It's quite clear what specifically someone responds to with length-limited tweets. The discussion naturally expands into a tree of refining arguments. Where-as in most text mediums, there's no direct pointers telling us specifically what someone is referring to; it's implicit context we the reader have to infer. If the person even is making a targeted real reply in the first place, isn't just soapboxing.

The ability to direct arguments & contestations clearly is far advanced over regular text by the hypermedia form for Twitter. Its wild to me that we haven't rebuilt more discussion systems to generate structure.
It's probably the wrong tactic to figure out which task this would help with rather than the benefits that come with shifting attention among tasks.

Also... is it really that hard to believe that a manager would defend their headcount and a community college would let standards slide in their hardest courses? You also have to consider the plausibility of the stories at hand before writing off the person who's complaining.

I don't think your skepticism is at all warranted.
They will probably profit from the solution regardless of where you decide to send your support. For example, one of the byproducts of oil refining is sulfur. If you burn sulfur in the presence of oxygen will turn into SO2. Then you can put up in the stratosphere and cool Earth until the last drop of petrochemical is burned or alternative energy is close to free and as accessible as oil and gas.
> At this scale, even 1 MB can have a significant environmental impact.

This links to an article - which the author obviously didn't read - that says this:

> This is not to say that making smaller apps will be a huge help to climate change, quite the opposite. Despite all that we‘ve shown, most of the energy consumed by a mobile device is gone before the user even gets a hold of it, in the manufacturing process.

I'm not against helping to prevent climate change, but I am tired of needless hand-wringing over something so trivial, as well as demonizing the tech industry for something that is mostly caused by things like cars, jets, cargo ships and tankers.

Reducing an app's size by 1MB is the equivalent to a single long haul flight. Not worth the effort to even think about it, let alone spend the man-hours to prevent it. In fact one could make the argument that all the electricity and resources consumed by developers would offset any potential environmental impact.
This will only result in kids going nuts when they turn 18 without time to ease into their adult freedoms.

If I remember correctly TwitterSPMMigration was the result of an (IMO somewhat misguided) effort at slowly pulling apart the other monolith framework, T1Twitter, into smaller packages.

It's a weird industry. I only know a little about it from a friend that worked for the gaming commission of our state...

The article is almost the opposite of that title, but let's discuss that title. Having children is absolutely inherently selfish. There is no good reason besides ones own self fulfillment to overpopulate a world that is on the verge of irreversible climate damage where people may very well be fighting over water and air conditioning while fleeing some of the most densely populated regions due to uninhabitable heat in less than 100 years. Luckily there is a solution though: just have generational wealth.

Anyone doing that should be warned that it is not unusual for a new laptop to have the harddrive/SSD encrypted with bitlocker without any notification to the user.

If you don't create a Microsoft account and then later the laptop won't boot or the TPM gets erased then you loose access to all the files on it if you didn't make a copy of the bitlocker key. You can't take the hdd/ssd out and read it using another computer.

You can also be screwed if you don't have access to the email address used for the Microsoft account.

> Either your domain names are universally accessible, or someone needs to follow specific instructions to use them, in which case why use AlterNIC or OpenNIC, when you could just give instructions that were specific to your chosen domain name?

In theory there is a network effect. If it got popular enough, there is a possibility that major operating systems or browsers or recursive nameservers might start supporting one of the alternatives, which is never going to happen with a bespoke individual domain name.

alternatively you can get away from the app size bloat by using X as a PWA (progressive web app). in iOS, this would use safari as the app container and you would just have the assets to download for dependencies. it's sad however that apple is now trying to kill PWAs. i wish people would use PWAs more as this actually makes it easier to build apps.
When it comes to being ambiguously defined, "senior" is not just any old term. A senior can be someone who's two years out of school, or it can someone of retirement age (senior citizen), or anything in-between.

Given context, an otherwise ambiguous word can be useful. "Senior" needs a lot of context, though.

Former Windows Container wrangler. First off, why are you using Ansible/Packer against Windows Container images? You wouldn't fault Linux Containers for being terrible to use with Packer/Ansible because you shouldn't be doing that.

Sure. This reinforces the point that labor unions are not inherently a problem, but the way we do labor unions certainly can be. Most rhetoric I hear in the US is if the former type. I only know bits and pieces but it sounds like perhaps we could learn from how Germany does labor unions (and higher education and healthcare for that matter).
Are there non-declarative chart visualization libraries? I’ve always used matplotlib.pyplot [1] and while it doesn’t market itself as "declarative", I don’t see much difference:

x='x',
y='f(x)'
)

# Pyplot
plt.plot(source)
plt.xlabel('x')
plt.ylabel('f(x)')

I use point-free languages, and it’s completely okay if you don’t enjoy them. It’s just that I love them, and they’re fun for me, so I don’t like when people are just saying that they’re like objectively bad. Try them out, see if you like them!
