no sarcasm at all and this well documented (iPhones are more expensive then many Android phones.. it's a status symbol of being rich vs. not) i just never experienced until recently / this week ...went out with an anesthesiologist in early 40s who when i texted with my dating number (google voice) said "I hate green bubbles." I then texted them with my iPhone number and got the reply, "That's better."
I don't know about should, but it will because of the various political decisions made in the last few decades that have locked us in. In case it was unclear from my previous comment, I am not happy with this state of affairs; I actually find it profoundly depressing.
The comment above and a recollection of the sub-title of Pratchett & Gaiman's Good Omens prompted me to look up the etymology of "nice" and it seems that it has had a surprising number of unrelated meanings: https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/nice-multiple-meani.... Maybe that's not the right word to object to regarding changes in its meaning.
The funny thing is that a belief in appropriate conspiracy theories holds much survival value. Prominent examples are:

(1) A belief in a supernatural religion is good for getting laid in the same group.
(2) A belief in the coming of economic collapse causes one to hoard gold or bitcoin, both of which have appreciated in value relative to holding the dollar in a bank.
(3) A belief in the coming of societal collapse, at least at the national level, causes one to become more prepared for potential emergencies.
(4) A paranoid belief in the extent of governmental mass surveillance causes one to adopt privacy and cybersecurity technologies.

Wrt Covid and Long Covid, believing in the conspiracy results in taking preparatory at the individual level steps to prepare for the next such virus, if only to boost one's immune system in clever ways.

Moving ssh off of port 22 makes it a pain in the ass to work with. Ports are standardized for a reason.

Authentication attempts are a useful security signal; I don't want to filter them out. I want hosts running dictionary attacks to not be able to connect to my services in the first place. If you are running an SSH bot, then I don't want you on my website or anything else.
The article reads like kindness is only a correlated trait to what the author is actually trying to convey. To me this article is the same as any other basic "collaboration" explainer. I guess in cultures where a lot of external and internal pressure is put on exhibiting certain virtues, maybe framing it as kindness can override whatever other goals have made someone forget how to collaborate.
i have to market myself just as much when applying for jobs. really. i don't see the difference.

actually, there is a difference. if i have services, i can market those as products. if i look for jobs then i have to market myself. so in fact, as a job hunter the personal brand is even more important than when selling services.

i get the risk aversion, that's a different issue.
"Model G" as the original designation for IBM Model M
Totally agree. Maybe if OP phrased it as “Urgency” instead of “Scarcity”, I would have agreed. But these are two distinct concepts that just happen to cause similar outcomes. Almost similar to a concept of an “incorrect” or “false” abstraction in SWE land.
Original title was too long, but for posterity, it was: "Model G" as the original designation for IBM Model M & the existence of Models "1A" and "1B"
eh... Tex is for typesetting

LaTex is what you get when you wrap a structured document format around your typesetting engine. That is. the whole point of latex is for a human to write it.
I mean it does not require too sophisticated software to not just look for keyboard activity, but also check if the a activity is withing human limits. Having 120000 keystrokes in 1 minute probably would raise the eyebrows of anyone
I don't think that's what people were surprised about. Just speaking for myself, I was originally surprised by the statement "lying about your employment history to salt is also protected activity". After all, it's seems to make perfect sense that I can be fired for lying on my resume.

The bit that I didn't understand, and that some of the comments here cleared up, is that only lying about the employment pieces that specifically relate to past work as a union organizer are the things that are protected activity.
Some folks read Peter Naur's Programming as Theory Building [1] and become zealots. I'm that kind of person. His ideas are woven through my recent talks [2].

Nice article. Definitely need more kindness in this achievement society. One small crib, though:

> In Spanish, we have a saying, "Maestro Liendre: De tó sabe, pero de ná entiende." I don't really know (and don't want) to translate it because it loses its punch, but it fits perfectly here.

Wait, why mention it if I, the reader, cannot understand the saying or how it is even relevant to the article, but leave me with the tease that "but it fits perfectly here". Very puzzling, to say the least. Google Translate tells me "Master Niendre: He knows everything, but he understands nothing". Now I'm even more confused. That is so pithy and unambiguous that I really have to ask: what is it about the Spanish version that "loses its punch" when translated to English?!
> In conclusion, these commands represent a clear strategy to infiltrate, assess, and establish control over targeted systems.

That is true now due to the FTC ban on non-competes, but it was not true before that. The enforceability varied widely from state to state. Here's a table showing how it was in 2016 [1]. My guess is that your corporate law professor was talking about enforceability in the specific state you were in.

Also, most I've seen were required to be signed when employment began, not when employment ended.

The main point is YOU aren’t the one scaring them with this “fear”. It is organic elements coming from their social circle.

Testimonials and Social Proof doesnt need to instill any fear. They instill comfort. The opportunity can be available indefinitely.

Peer pressure on the other hand instills discomfort, that would resolve with making a small purchase, but again it is coming from the friends.

This is examples of NETWORK EFFECTS. They also help with lock-in. Keep this in mind: people continue to pay for something when

1) They have a problem

2) Your product can solve it

3) Every week, it costs less to pay for your product (automatically) than solving the problem themselves (eg forking your software)

Sounds like that never made it to market. Would have been great for me at the time, I was stuck having to trade my Outbound notebook in for a PC one because I couldn't get system 7 on it, and 7 was a game changer compared to 6 (Multi-tasking!!). Would likely have never left mac if it weren't for that.
Mobx Memoizes Components (You Don't Need React Compiler)
The US tries to thread the needle between being "pro management" and "pro labor".

Historically, the bargain that has been struck is that current employees have substantial protections around union organizing.

However, outside unions have limited rights to directly solicit employees.

That's at the federal level. At the state level, additional pro-union rights may layer on top of that (e.g. in the northeast) or not (e.g. in the southeast).

Additionally, since you mentioned Germany, most US workers do not have a seat at the management table, in contrast to how I believe German companies are typically organized?

I wonder if the lack of a "consumer GPU vision" is sort of a forced conclusion.

With ~15% of the market, it's going to be very difficult to pull the market in a direction you want, so you're forced to say "I can offer you what nVidia does, but cheaper"
He is explaining to you the valid reason, and you are simply not understanding it. People sue, very often, even in spots where the responsibility should have been on them.

Companies stopped doing these sorts of things because companies got sued. It is very easy to bring a lawsuit, And while it is, perhaps not very easy to win it, someone still can easily have six figures in defending themselves.

If you don’t like that, OK, I don’t either, it is awful. But it is a rational response to a problem that happens.

Cool coincidence or mathematically relevant? I dunno.

Going with the former because proving a pattern consumes energy - but a false pattern consumes energy doing nothing.
The trouble is "asshole" is relative. As an engineer, I value disagreeable people. I want someone to tell me I'm wrong and disagree with me whenever appropriate. But to many HR types just the mere fact you're disagreeing and not blowing smoke up everyone's arse all the time makes you an asshole. People should also feel ok with calling out incompetence which, again, can make you seem like an asshole to some.
But what if you get a bad letter of recommendation and sue about it? What if the manager refuses to write you a letter of recommendation and you sue them? The easiest solution from the company is simple: don't allow any letters of recommendation.

That is what my former manager told me when I left my previous employer. He thought highly of my skills, but couldn't write me a letter due to company policy motivated by these concerns about being sued.

Maybe, maybe not. We're talking about hypothetical examples here.

As the jerk, you might not think it is your fault, but it is your problem if you are the common thread between other people not wanting to engage with you to meet "business objectives".

Generally, I think it's useful to reflect on how your behaviour impacts the work of yourself and others around you. Even if you want to be as utilitarian as possible, work happens better around people who get on better with each other.
Maybe it's because I write a lot but I reached the conclusion that if it makes sense to do an article/blog, I should do so rather than speaker notes--which make sense in handing off a presentation to someone else in a company setting but I'm less sold on, in general, as a personal thing.
Thank you, I'll have to try them
Web apps are generally IO bound by the database. Hardly any time gets spent in cpu even in python. There could be a number of things contributing to having to horizontally scale python more than compiled frameworks. Many apps are still stuck on non-async frameworks. Many devs are also bad at knowing how not to block server processes.
Can you provide an example article or case law when this happened?

It's still not most companies. But it's maybe the top N public companies — the ones that are all "headless" in corporate-vision terms, and so hire the same few management consultancies to tell them what to do.

Ignoring those few largest companies and focusing on the other 99% of businesses that don't hire management consultancies, this is definitely a "thing" with businesses on the west coast.
The ChatGPT Linux System
We use the slightly simpler vega-lite from the same group. It typically gets us most of the way there quite quickly. Downloads as svg and png is great.

They always ask for something out of scope and you have to dig a little through the docs (can we have long labels for our x axis, how about 60 categories for a scatter plot..). /rant. We haven't hit anything that couldn't be done though.

Its from the same team, just a more simple wrapper around D3.

To me, this article seems designed to train junior employees to be more exploitable by the tech sector’s psychopathic managerial class.
"You fucking asshole... for prohibiting discussions of union organizing."
We went through a migration from Ruby on Rails (as a json api) to Go and it just really does make a difference when you need 1/50th the servers to run (don’t remember exact multiple, but it really was that dramatic—the concurrency model enabled so many parallel requests per instance compared to Ruby).

It’s kinda like using a map reduce cluster when a beefy server with a few Linus commands piped could have handled the “big data” needs. Both have their time and place, but it’s amazing how far a simple setup can go, so don’t overengineer prematurely.
Advantages of Raspberry Pi:
No fans, no moving parts, no dust. Huge amount of software, documentation, support available.
Most companies will only verify dates of employment, and possibly whether the employee is eligible for rehire (yes/no, without getting into reasons).

Writing a letter of reference is more and more a risky thing and even in non-employment situations, more people are reluctant to do it.
You seem to include some absolute security, which is obviously nonexistent in this world (p!=0 for any event according to some models), into your internet exposure formula, when "minimize risk, make whatever compromises, update" is sufficient (to me) and everything above that is just worrying too much without having control. I think that's where we fundamentally disagree.
Sure, it works in the real world but does it work in theory?

It is not an unfair labor practice, nobody owes you a letter of recommendation.

Corporations that have this policy always tell you that when you check on a prospective employee. “ Our policy is only to give dates of employment and X worked here from…”

It is not a negative when you check on somebody and hear that. I’ve heard it many times. I can hardly take it as a sign of a bad employee when their company simply has a policy not to give references
Though a fan is recommended for the 4 and 5 models
+1. The audiobook is one of the best narrated ones I've heard too.
I suspect it's much easier for someone to sue on the claim of being unfairly discriminated against than on the claim that a particular company policy with a legitimate stated justification is an unfair labor practice.
It hits better with the rhyme
Nice overview, another venue worth looking at is thin clients. Some models like the Fujitsu Futro s740 are passive cooled, draw only 3-4w idle, can encode hevc in hardware and support up to 16gb memory and a nvme drive. There is a nice overview here: https://github.com/R3NE07/Futro-S740/blob/main/README_EN.md

Another very similar alternative with support for 32g memory and dual channel is the Dell wyse 5070 https://github.com/pflavio/Dell-Wyse-5070-Home-Server/wiki

These can be brought used for around 60-80€ on eBay.

For about 150€ you can buy new Intel n100 mini computers on Ali express with similar low idle power but vastly better top performance.

This is an example of how labor laws can hurt high-performing employees. Another is salary transparency requirements.
Here's an exercise for you.

Take almost any court case that makes it to the Supreme Court or Federal government action, regardless of the court's makeup, or what party controls the White house or Congress, and ask yourself this question:

What is the pro-business or pro-government outcome of this case or legislation?

Then see how the court ruled or the executive and legislature acted. You will find the majority of the time that the pro-business or pro-government (particularly pro-police) outcome matches what actually happens.
You could say the same thing about every improvement to programming workflows (version control systems, context aware editors, CI/CD, test frameworks, better languages/language improvements, package managers, Q&A repositories like StackOverflow, build systems, and so on). Whether you really consider increasing individual output dark/bad/ominous is up to you but if you apply that outlook historically you'll have had decades of negative outlook on the thought the job is going to become scarce while the number of high paying software jobs continued to increase despite efficiency improvements.

In a more direct way: Making one programmer able to output what two programmers can do is almost always a gain for everyone involved. Making one programmer able to output what 10,000 programmers can do is a sign the field is being replaced. I don't think we'll get anywhere near concerns of the latter with LLMs.
People who try to be the smartest person in the room never are. The only thing I try to do in meetings is be helpful. Whether that's kind or not is not for me to decide.
Why does this headline make it sound that it's a contradiction? Isn't it because Elon Musk is willing to take drastic actions like in the headline to improve stock price in the short term that shareholders voted for his pay?
> We now know that bees can count, recognise human faces and learn how to use tools.

I was curious what that means in this context and found this research (co-authored by Prof Chittka mentioned in the article): https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/jou...

Apparently only a small minority of bumble bees can figure out how to pull a string to access a reward, but then other bees adopt the behavior by mimicry. IMO I think we're doomed to move the goalposts on intelligence for a while, like with the statistical abilities of LLMs to manipulate language and insects' ability to use tools. Moravec's paradox keeps rearing it's ugly head as more and more complex systems turn out to be relatively easy compared to basic cognition (the system that keeps them flying and identifies threats, flowers, etc.).

It'd take a lot more to convince me that bumble bees are conscious just because of the their brains' simplicity compared to humans or other animals that appear more intelligent like pigs, corvids, octopuses, etc. I'm not categorically against such a possibility, but I think the bar for recognizing intelligence in general has been set too low.

This sidesteps the main problem anyway: What is consciousness? I don't think we're any closer to rigorously defining that anymore than intelligence.

Mostly no, because almost no employer will provide them.
This sounds reasonable. If you train as a plumber, work for ACME Plumbing Inc. and then leave, being told you can't work anywhere else in your trade for 24 months means you should do what exactly - become an uber driver for a couple of years?
Sorry, but I don't understand how that follows from an LTV. If the payout from being a slumlord is positive, making no investments might lead to higher IRR than investing, for example. Even if investments where the way to go for higher profit, it might not mean that investments go towards nicer houses.

I think the idea that an LTV can so finely steer investment seems unlikely to me (also, would need to take varying interest rates into account). Trying to steer investments by increasing certain costs has in the past led to a lot of unexpected behavior - I'd assume the same would happen here.
I'm still trying to understand why EDF is considered problematic despite its ability to provide affordable and clean electricity nationwide. EDF outperforms other major European countries in this regard. While I support free competition and acknowledge that French nuclear energy might not be the best example of that, the fact remains that it delivers reliable, cheap, and clean electricity. This should be our primary focus, with room for improvement always available. An honest discourse should start with these facts, rather than solely moral viewpoints.

So I suppose you have been against the closure of German reactors, right?

The UK government was due to introduce legislation ("when parliamentary time allows", which apparently it didn't) to limit non-complete clauses in employment contracts to a maximum of 3 months. That seems like implicit recognition that non-complete clauses longer than 3 months are currently valid.
Thanks - yeah 60C(140F) sounds somewhat warm, glad you're already planning for a DC-DC upstream. Feeding it 5V could make sense too(3.3V out + 1.2V dropout = 4.5V < 5V), but anyway this project feels like scratching an itch for many. Congratulations to you and your team!
I have broken derailleurs, and I’ve also had them bumped out of adjustment and damaged at bike racks.

Switching is probably a bit of an unecessary faff. But if you want a drivetrain that can be ignored or neglected and never complain, an internal gear is really great.

For a commuter bike it also allows you to fully cover the chain and chainring if you want.
