https://cashmoney.lol I like to read the SEC 10-Ks (annual reports) and 10-Qs (quarterly reports) first then look at Yahoo Finance, etc. So I took the ticker info directly from the SEC and created a single page app using jQuery DataTable and deployed to Cloudflare Pages so I can quickly go to the SEC page for the company, as well as others. The pro version is a Google Sheet version of the site that plugs into =GOOGLEFINANCE for additional data.

As for the domain, I had it lying around so I used it.

> People want and expect this behavior.

A) I have no clue where you got this from. It seems like a convenient assumption, but not one that's easily verified, especially when folks are introduced to the dangers of such an approach.

B) Giving people control over how the data is interpreted outside of the default interpretation seems like a no-brainer. I don't really rely on default interpretation of anything, especially in the context of spreadsheets given how eager they are to interpret data in unexpected ways, but based on this thread it seems like it's rather difficult to turn off the date conversion behavior in excel.

C) I was replying to a comment about implicit conversions, which is far larger than just the context of excel spreadsheets.

Lying to her like that will probably undermine her trust in you going forward. I understand that you mean well, and sometimes we have to lie to kids about things that are too complex for them to understand, but this doesn't sound like one of these cases. It might be more effective to gently massage the truth so that it's compatible with the negativity she's digested, i.e. 'here's what's being done to manage the climate, here's the measures that are keeping the economy in good shape'.
If someone is convinced that all housing is going to stay/become extravagantly expensive, shouldn't they get into real estate development to cash in on the opportunity? So they can build houses/condos/etc. Seems like they could become architects, or real estate agents, or work for (or own) a construction company. Maybe designing robots that build houses. Or work for a REIT.

>Designing the UI around hand/eye tracking was smart but not supporting VR controllers at all is stupid.

It was a strategic decision. It says "This is not a game console, it's a general purpose computer", and paves the way for opening more people up to the idea. Controllers are a crutch that no one actually wants. We want to be able to just naturally do things in VR/AR the same as we would in reality. And vision based hand/finger tracking has gotten to a point where controllers really are nothing more than an input device now. There's no need for them at all to have 6DOF control, the way there was in the Lighthouse/Constellation days.

In this case, a seemingly pedantic distinction matters:

Pilot != Master

Pilots are very highly paid
Managers exist because this model of organizing humans to do work dates back a few centuries, at least. We don't know any better and in any organization large enough you'll run across people that if they aren't told what to do, they won't do anything or will do minimal.

As an EM, I'm not a decider on any compensation element other than "maybe a little more for this person, please" which typically translates into someone at a higher pay grade taking it from someone else, which sucks.

As an EM, I can't outright fire anyone, there is an entire process with Directors and HR and Chief Whatever Title types for that to happen, as it should be - those shouldn't be rash/quick decisions unless its something egregious/obvious.

As an EM you are typically powerless and caught in the middle between those pleading/demanding to get more done (upper mgmt) and your team telling you the reality of how complicated and lengthy it is do to the work. The team is usually always right and upper management is too busy having meetings about meetings.

As an EM the pay level isn't drastically higher than a lead or whatever magical titles HR uses.

As an EM I don't pick up any fun or critical lane work because I'm stuck in meetings all the time. I do cleanup and shit work any dev could do but also that is boring and usually nobody wants to do it.

Why does anyone choose this? I ask myself this more often than not and when that frequency increases then it might be time to move back to an individual contributor role, again.

Having experience both inside and out, I find large tech to be uniquely bad in this regard, but for an unexpected reason. Whereas outside large tech, managers are typically part product manager, part tech lead, part project manager and part people manager, inside it those are all distinct people. It leaves the EM role stripped it down to solely people management which pushes away many people who would make great managers, leaving only those who can't get a more attractive TL job.
It sounds like we're saying the same thing?

To stop the the prompts being messed with, you have to get rid of a deep set belief system that's grown within Google and culture as a whole at this point. If Google hired a person to start cutting the fat and getting rid of those people, there's gonna be a torrent of lawsuits claiming they're doing discriminatory termination, bad press framing Google as the next Twitter/X, etc.

It would be simple technologically, but it's a cultural issue. Which is hard to control when steering a ship as big as Google. For starters they have to get rid of Sundar and put in someone with an actual opinion on anything other than optimizing to grow the stock at any cost. Which I imagine shareholders aren't interested in!
Sure, but they are assets at least. JA is most useful as an object lesson in fear.
Thanks for that bit of color. That is extremely interesting.
I think they may have done that because Sony used the PS3 as a loss leader?
Doesn't LoRa have a pretty constrained duty cycle? I read the regs on LoRa (for the US at least) and found that you're required to limit transmission frequency to 1% (36s/h). I'm guessing you'd have to go well past that to operate an RC aircraft in the conventional manner. If you're just commanding waypoints I suppose you could be compliant.
> a good church is far more a giant nest of social bonds than it is a cross or creed

History has shown different. Martyrs relied more on cross and creed (and indeed a specific person the cross & creed spoke of) than social bonds. 'Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also' is a sample from a specific slice, but representative of a larger concept.

Of course a martyr may die wrongly, but the point is that a definition of a 'good' church should include considering concepts of before birth and after death, in addition to life. In my experience, that leads to the social bonds.

The lack of this care for cross and creed in many churches I've visited seems to be the precurser to a dying church. There is little to attract new generations if little things are at stake.
Doubly-linked lists are incredibly rare, few people should ever use one and even fewer people should ever write one. In almost all cases vectors are better [1].

Rust's stdlib comes with one: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.LinkedList....

[1] There are some cases where they're useful, e.g. when amortized O(1) append is not enough and you want actual O(1) append. But this matters to almost no one.

There are specific horn signals (one prolonged, or seven-short-one-prolonged, are what I'd guess would be appropriate here), and COLREGS do explicitly say that you can use whatever you need to get attention in an emergency as long as it's not confusable with some official signal. But as other commenters have noted it wouldn't have been specific enough to get the workers etc to clear the bridge before the impact.

There are two good types of managers I've seen:

Director+: Who largely delegate off to Tech Leads, etc. They don't have the time to get in your hair, and are focused on what is truly important.

Non-Technical Managers WHO KNOW IT. They don't try to make technical calls. They are there to support the team and make sure it runs smoothly. They end up highly dependent on their leads. Not the end of the world, but they better pick well.

Any technical manager, eventually becomes #2. "Rusty Programming Skills" etc.

I've seen, one manager who could hold Tech Lead and Manager. Even then as good as he was. He would have done better with some leads and more delegation. But that is one first level manager in 25+ years.

In the end, engineers need support. We know how. We need to know the what, and why.
I don't think there's any reading of my comment (or the extensive modern literature around this subject) where that's a reasonable takeaway.
Localisation means in this context the translations, date and number formatting, currency, etc.

So no, that doesn't change depending on where you are.
I'm tired of the stupidity of having an engineering manager, a team lead, a Scrum master, and then a product owner.

So, what, you're going to give me 4 "bosses" as a principal?

Same goes for these directors and VPs who can't give up working with IC direct reports, so now you've got 5 or more.

I remember someone or some company referring to non-engineering leadership as phonies, but I wish I could remember who. They had a rule: no phonies in management.

I like the idea, but I think there's more to it than that. But this whole 4-5+ "bosses" or "leaders" BS needs to stop.

Umm... how do you propose implementing a queue or a stack cpu-efficiently and memory-efficiently using vectors?

I think having it linked to home broadband would be unpopular from both an energy supplier point of view and from the public.

The energy suppliers wouldn't want the support burden of having to troubleshoot people's Wi-Fi, which might not reach to the location where the meter is installed, and could suffer from all sorts of problems.

Some consumers wouldn't like the idea of it using their internet connection - even if it was a negligible amount of data consumption.

I believe there are some energy supplier provided wireless networks that cover a small part of a neighborhood and all of the meters in that area can connect to the network.

I think there are also mesh models where meters communicate over a local network wirelessly, back to a meter that is in the cellular coverage area.
On a cursory glance, this looks rather quite a bit like a Noise [1] pattern. One rather nice aspect of Noise is that there is a good reference chart for which security properties one should expect from different combinations - saving time on proofs.

I grew up with the birth of the internet and social media and I have the opposite feeling. I know that sound the old one monologue but I came from the time that social media were exclusively social and not a bunch of people creating content endlessly in the hope of making tons of money in the internet.
I used aol, Microsoft Messenger, Facebook and a very famous Google social media on my country, called Orkut. None of these gave me anxious to see what's happening or any negative thoughts. In fact In using the internet and social medja learned so many things, meet different people outside of my country and from other states and learned about other cultures and other languages.
All these years and I think the way that social media works is rotting people's brain: people barely pay attention on you because they are too busy seeing their timeline, people even use it on traffic and all of these people are adults that doesn't knew about social media until some years ago. Internet and Social media for children must be supervised and not restricted.
“I returned to civilization shortly after that and went to Cornell to teach, and my first impression was a very strange one. I can't understand it any more, but I felt very strongly then. I sat in a restaurant in New York, for example, and I looked out at the buildings and I began to think, you know, about how much the radius of the Hiroshima bomb damage was and so forth... How far from here was 34th street?... All those buildings, all smashed — and so on. And I would go along and I would see people building a bridge, or they'd be making a new road, and I thought, they're crazy, they just don't understand, they don't understand. Why are they making new things? It's so useless.

But, fortunately, it's been useless for almost forty years now, hasn't it? So I've been wrong about it being useless making bridges and I'm glad those other people had the sense to go ahead.”

It was united that I most recently encountered this too. It was 2005ish and they flew a 747 with pull down theatre screens and pneumatic headphones on an australia-us flight.

Not sure if that was the backup plane or they were just desperately holding out to upgrade the fleet.

Having said that anyone that flew just over 30 years ago would have likely used pneumatic headphones and watched on a shared pulled down theatre screen. It was the norm not that long ago.

This claim that the SPEs were difficult to use and maximize may have been true in the early years, but all of the major engines were optimized to quickly abstract them. Naughty Dog, a key contributor to the PS3 graphics libraries had optimized them so much that porting PS3 games to the PS4 was "hell" in their words.

>I wish we had a button that was like ‘Turn On PS4 Mode’, but no,” Druckmann said. "We expected it to be hell, and it was hell. Just getting an image onscreen, even an inferior one with the shadows broken, lighting broken and with it crashing every 30 seconds...that took a long time. These engineers are some of the best in the industry' and they optimized the game so much for the PS3’s SPUs specifically. It was optimized on a binary level, but after shifting those things over, you have to go back to the high level, make sure the systems are intact, and optimize it again. "I can’t describe how difficult a task that is. And once it’s running well, you’re running the [versions] side by side to make sure you didn’t screw something up in the process, like physics being slightly off, which throws the game off, or lighting being shifted and all of a sudden it’s a drastically different look. That’s not improved any more; that’s different. We want to stay faithful while being better.”
I've been an engineering manager for a couple of years now and I don't agree (shocker I know), but I think that's because I function very differently in my role compared to the description in this post.

My #1 job is to support the engineers below me. I make sure projects don't scope-creep (PM should do this in theory but they often don't), I make sure my direct reports have someone they can go to when they get blocked, and I ensure our code quality and standards are upheld without being a micro-manager in doing so.

Also when it comes to salary increases and promotions I think it's crazy if an engineering manager doesn't fight for their best performers to get those regularly. You're just doing a bad job if you don't get your quality people raises. Your best engineers will simply leave eventually, which is much more expensive than a raise would have been. For engineers who don't perform well, they should have clear communication and actionable steps toward promotions and raises.

I think the real issue is a lot of engineers have bad managers, period. It has little to do with if they are called an "Engineering Manager" or not.
Your example is really simple to fix.

Just add another model asking it if there are shoes visible or not.
Hard to say. Perceptrons was an early mathematically rigorous book in CS that asked questions about what you could accomplish with a family of algorithms. That said, it is easy to imagine that neural networks could gave gained 5 years or more progress if people had had some good luck early on or taken them more seriously.
It's less blind than other places I have worked.

When a CVE is announced, we know immediately if we are impacted and what will need to be fixed.

Some places have no idea what their dependencies are. I am sure there are lots of log4j horror stories from Java shops that were not so careful.
