You should do the same thing you should always be doing as long as you’re struggling with your addiction to food and shelter and you need to work to support your addiction - be prepared to look for another job.

Facts on the ground are always subject to change and you should be prepared:

1. Keep an up to date career document where you list all of your accomplishments in STAR format

2. Keep an up to date resume

3. Keep your skill set aligned with the market

4. Keep a strong and active network and guard your reputation

5. Don’t be a “ticket taker”. Be able to talk about initiatives you have led

6. Live below your means and have a 3-6 months emergency fund

7. Even though I haven’t and haven’t found a need to. “Grind leetcode” (tm r/cscareerquestions).

There are no confirmed accounts of rape, and the NYT Hamas hit piece that is re-laundered daily by the MSM has signs (such as Anat Schwarz) of Israeli intelligence all over it.

Regarding the UN report, it is not the smoking gun you seen to think it is, though I can see why you'd think differently if you only read the "highlights" from MSM - go ahead and read the report [0]:

> As a result of the aforementioned challenges, it must be noted that the information gathered by the mission team was in a large part sourced from Israeli national institutions. This is due to the absence of United Nations entities operating in Israel, as well as the lack of cooperation by the State of Israel with relevant United Nations bodies with an investigative mandate

Pramila Patten didn't "investigate" anything; she previously said on this: "It's not my role to investigate" - her job was to repeat what the Israelis told her. While in Israel she even met with proven hoaxers from Zaka, the organisation responsible for spreading many of the putrid attrocity propaganda that came out at the start.

Pramila Patten also infamously made the incredible, unsubstantiated claim that Russia gave their soldiers viagra and sent them out to rape Ukranains. She's a well-known fraud [1], who now sits in a position created by Hilary Clinton - who herself infamously spread false rape propaganda about Libya.

I feel we are now at an impasse, and so I won't be engaging in this thread any further.

Couple of solutions:

- Open source contributions, especially in the tech you are hiring for. Need someone who is good with spring boot? Makes sense to see the open source contributors in the spring ecosystem.

- Open sourced side projects. You get to see the code the candidate wrote, even before hand, and have them walk you through the decisions they made.

White board is still path of least resistant - its for the lazy hiring managers, and they usually do not even know how to do it well which is why there is always so much attrition.

Edit for clarification - open source + projects do not have to replace the in-person white board. Rather, it can be additive.

Who would you rather hire - someone with hi-quility open source contributions, or someone who can implement LRU cache bc they happened to do that problem on leetcode?

>> visual programming remains an entirely unexplored area

Visual programming languages have been around since at least the 1970s:

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

Several are used real-world production cases:

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

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

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

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

While visual programming systems work better for some use cases, they are usually less agile versus text-based systems for several generalized programming tasks: 1) difference comparisons ("diffs"), 2) version control, 3) code search, and 4) code input (Most visual systems require a mouse and careful placement of connectors).

Visual programming systems tend to excel for domain-specific tasks carried out by non-technical or semi-technical users, but for generalized programming, text-based programming systems are more popular for highly technical software developers.

Apple's entire answer to the DMA will be destroyed, just like how they rolled back on PWA.

It's super weird because it feels like they were dealing with the US public instead of EU : they are FAR from the same market share here, and the public is much more not only tolerant but asking for regulations.

It can't be that simple because they have a lot of very smart people dealing with those things, but I still don't get what they thought they would accomplish trying to weaponize their customers like that.

It reminds me of the GDPR and companies making threat, culminating with Meta saying if the GDPR is passed then facebook and instagram would leave the EU market, which got answer by the french and german gov by "okay, you go right ahead". We know how that one ends. You earn a lot more dozens of billions by complying than by leaving out of spite.
Yes, Hamas attacked, killed and kidnapped people in a terror attack to protest this. Also to have hostages to exchange for some of their own. And yes, these "own" are Hamas members and not the innocent bystanders. Was there ever any doubt about this?

None of that justifies, again, the levelling of Gaza, the starving of around 500,000 people and the deliberate targeting of civilians who have nothing to do with any of that.

You what works? Identifying the purpetrators, prosecuting and convicting them. If you want to go ultra tough, use Mossad to go after Hamas leadership. Heck, even using precision strikes at Hamas leadership in Gaza wouod be better, regardless of the related colleteral damage and casualties. Israel is not doing any of that, Israel started levelling Gaza right south of the border and continue southwards, hoping people flee to Egypt which would allow Israel to close the doors behind them. There is a term for this: ethnic cleansing. That is undefensible, period.
In general, trivia questions are not great, and this is trivia. A candidate may come from an environment where the policy was to merge instead of rebase, and so they might not even be aware of what rebase does.
> Each Bob cassette is returnable and reusable.

Yes, in theory, which requires from you the effort of packaging it up, paying postage, plan time to go to the post office, etc - or you could just throw it in the trash for exactly the same visible effect and be done with it. Even if people want to mail them back, this sounds like exactly the kind of task that will perpetually stay on the "I'll look into that when I have time" list, until they finally just want to get rid of it and throw it in the trash.

But it's good for shifting the blame, because then the pollution is not DaanTech's fault but those of individual consumers.

> You're also NOT required to use the cassettes. You can just throw standard dishwasher tablets in.

Doesn't this contradict what the article was saying? At least there was a quote from DaanTech somewhere that you have to have a cassette inserted to start a wash.
FWIW, Palestine was a country made up of multiple ethnicities and religions. The official languages were Arabic, English and Hebrew. Jews made up 1.7% of the total population at the time. More and more of them were arriving from Europe to live there.

What ruined everything was the Zionist project, which funded land purchases for farms and then only allowed Jews to work on those farms. Essentially, excluding the majority muslim and christian population from an equal opportunity to work.

These exclusionary measure created tension which resulted in the armed and terroristic attacks by the Zionist groups the Stern Gang and Irgun. (https://www.britannica.com/topic/Stern-Gang)

So yes, they could have lived in peace and were living in peace, but Zionism...

> However, the idea is, once you have a general intelligence running on a computer, you could easily scale it to create a super human level intelligence.

I question that. I expect that "intelligence" (however defined) will not be a linear function of the scale of the system. It will be considerably less than linear. If it's log-log scaling, say, and you already had to go to a large scale just to get human-equivalent intelligence, how easy is it to scale to superhuman levels of intelligence?

Don't assume that scaling will be easy. It very well might not be.

> To me that's the most interesting quote of the podcast and that's the impression I had gotten before reading this quote. Sounds like they received valuable feedback along the way and ignored it on purpose.

We don't really have enough context to make a judgement here IMO. I've been in places large enough to have fairly complex politics where people would manouver themselves into better jobs as much as they could, including performing a hostile takeover of another department. They might not have had the best ideas or the best plans, but they did have the right connections, go to lunch with the right people and say the right words.

I've seen bad decisions made because more persuasive and better connected people were attempting to climb the ladder and managed to talk management into it.

"You’re too idealistic. You don’t care enough about the bottom line. You should change your values." could just be something someone says when they're trying to smear someone in the way, especially if that's how they've sold themselves and their ideas to upper management.

Personally I've seen and done a number of large scale changes/upgrades (mostly Ruby/Rails/Postgres things) in orgs smaller than Facebook but still with hundreds of engineers and large codebases, both stop the world, and where the work was streamed seamlessly into regular feature etc. work and the methodology outlined by Chris seems incredibly sensible and aligns with what I have found to be the most successful way of doing these things.

As the host says, we ony have one side of the story here, but at least a lot of the things Chris is saying seem to make sense.

> My career lesson is that being right isn't the hard part of being a senior staff engineer. Being right isn't enough. It's building alignment across the entire org towards the right solution. That's the hard valuable problem that I'm paid to solve.

> Language is cultural and context-specific.

Language is not set in stone either, and the perception of what terms mean may change over time, even within one and the same cultural context. That’s why we are having debates and discussions.

I think that being unwilling to train entry level employees might also be a factor? I.e. someone with a CS degree has demonstrated that they probably have the aptitude for programming; however, they may or may not already be good at programming.

Ideally, entry level positions would hire for potential with the expectation that they will be training their employees.

I dug out the original ruling and skimmed the last part of it. I have probably misunderstood a bunch, it's very long.

But my tl.dr. as I understand it is that IAB provides a Transparency Consent Framework[2] to its users, which includes popup cookies.

They lost a case where they argued they don't have any responsibility ( to the degree that they didn't even have a Data Privacy Officer or had done a Data Privacy Impact Assessment) for providing the IAB compliance popups. These popups were used by others in order to do gain "consent" to do real time bidding ads (and probably other things), it might be that they also provided some level of RBT.

They lost and the court said they are jointly responsible and need to fix long list of things and pay 250k euro.

IAB then appealed and the appeals court deferred it to the ECJ, who has now said that yes they do have a join responsibility.

So as I understand it, this is sadly not the death-blow to valid or invalid consent popups. But at least it might improve the UX on them.

Maybe I am just lucky, but here is my experience as of literally today.

I just installed Fedora 40 (KDE 6) using the Fedora-40-20240304.n.0 nightly ISO. I then enabled the NVIDIA and Steam repos and installed both. Also installed asusctl. Everything seems to work perfectly.

This is on a Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 from 2021 (GA401QM) laptop with a Ryzen 9 5900HS + NVIDIA 3060. The screen is at full resolution at 120 Hz. Keyboard lights work, audio works, WiFi worked out of the box, sleep works etc.

I tried a few games on Steam and they all worked out of the box without any tweaks what so ever. I also find I am really enjoying KDE. It must be over 15 years since I last tried KDE but now I really think it is way better than Gnome.

My desktop is still on Windows, I'm waiting for HDR support. I'm so excited to get off Windows forever. It really feels like Linux is finally good enough.
