There are so many great Haldeman books, particularly the ones where he sets out to kill a Heinlein book as did "The Forever War" (Starship Troopers) and "Worlds" (The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.)

That book popped into my mind; it took two tries to find it with Copilot and I was pleasantly reminded of who the author was.

Yea, i was hoping for 2+2 myself but I suspect it's because the setup doesn't have the ability to mediate peripherals between the cores in a way that'd let that work. I.e. trying to turn on both Risc-v and arm #1 cores means that there'd be bus conflicts. It'd be cool if you could disable the io on the risc-v cores and do all hardware io through arm (or vice versa) so you can use the unconnected ones for just pure compute tasks (say run ws2812b led strips with the arm cores but run python/javascript/lua on the risc-v cores to generate frames to display without interrupting the hardware io).
Google has yet to experience significant penalties due to their Jedi Blue price-fixing scheme ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedi_Blue ). Perhaps this story covers some other set of claims that will be broken out of the larger Jedi Blue case.

Edit: this is actually a recent campaign, the story says 2023 but some other outlets said it executed this year in 2024.

I've mostly worked remotely, whether at home or because I was traveling a lot, informally (except during COVID) for about the last ten years and with a mix of in-office and out-of-office before that.

My doubtless somewhat unpopular opinion is that I developed stronger professional connections with people I worked together with in person to at least some degree than those I never met in person. Some of this can be mitigated with off-sites and other events; the convergence of generally tighter budgets and the lifting of COVID restrictions didn't help. But I don't really agree with the 100% remote viewpoint in general.

I don't use a text file for tabs, I use a text file for taking notes.

The fact that the second window is private isn't hugely relevant, it just helps to stop me from accidentally doing stateful things in it (and reduces cross-site tracking in the process). The point is that I never have to ask "is this tab important?", the decision was already made up-front, based on where I opened the tab in the first place.
Can someone explain why would a company ask for this:

- Please list all current and past job titles that are relevant to this position.

and

- Please list all current and past companies that you've worked for that are relevant to this position.

Specially if you're already uploading your resume? Should I include the names of all the companies I've worked for, again?
This results in less repair ability and more waste. It also probably boosts economic activity.

Withholding any moral judgement, I do think these current incentives contribute to a direction we don’t want society to go. Feels like we should fix the incentives here to encourage reuse.
> You make the policy and then hand out exceptions (quietly) to the MVP's.

This right here is exactly the kind of manipulation that's causing my generation

It's BS and everyone knows it. Those quiet exceptions aren't as quiet as you would believe. We all see it. And we all understand what's happening.

Naval Ravikant was right. It's best to play long term games with long term people and have zero tolerance for anything less than 100% integrity.

Yes, I prefer YouTube and use it for background audio when I'm not listening to podcasts. YouTube Music is a product trying to kludge way too much into a single app to be good at any one thing. It's an okay music player, decent podcast tool, and back YouTube secondary/audio only augmentation.
The amount of equity isn't as important as the vesting schedule. Don't vest anything to your cofounder right away. You should vest on a four year schedule with a one year cliff. There are good reasons this is the standard.

As far as the amount, make sure the other person thinks it's fair. If they don't find the split fair, then it'll just create issues later. Better to give away 49% of your company and have it succeed than to continue to own 90% and have it fail.
Or, rephrased, many (not all) business practices should be adapted to specific situations when called for.

I actually disagree with this - HTML5/jsx is not a bad UI-building abstraction even for non-technical people. The things that make react complicated are syncing state with the backend, routing, etc.

I'd share this with my CEO / CS team - especially with GPT in place and live previews, there's no reason why someone can't build simple react components into these "slots".

I bet your day was more filled with hassle! But genuinely appreciate the response. One thing it’s really highlighted to me is that you’re miles ahead of the alternative APIs available. It’s also highlighted quite how much I’ve come to rely on not just the API but other little workflows I’ve made in Claude itself. I felt quite bereft for most of the morning.
The article does in fact quantify: 15 minutes for certain ICE trains, 10 minutes otherwise.
I don't doubt that this happened, but what percentage of RTO efforts were about intentional attrition vs something else?

The intentional attrition strategy seems like it only makes sense if you have a lot of dead weight on your staff but are stable as a business. If the business is in really dire financial straits, I think you actually fire people.

If overall you have a healthy business and a revenue per employee is significantly above costs per employee (and if you previously observed that growing the team helped you grow revenue), boosting attrition will probably hurt you, right? You may improve margins in the next few quarters but eventually your decreased ability to build/sell will cut into your revenue growth. But I think there have been plenty of companies that seemed to be healthy and succeeding who didn't have a clear reason to want attrition, and who still pushed RTO, which seems like probably a bad move?

I do believe a fair share of execs did earnestly buy into the idea that employees are more productive from the office, and if employees were ok with working from the office 5 years ago and they're being paid more now, they would just accept it -- i.e. execs hoped they could mostly retain their staff but get more value out of them. And I further continue to believe that these execs were biased by largely isolated from inefficiencies in the open-plan-office / too-few-meeting-rooms before times.

- The CEO never had to scramble to find another room when an important conversation went long -- whoever had the room next was forced to scramble.

- If the COO felt that a meeting needed to be scheduled last minute, people around them made it happen ... meanwhile 3 levels down the org-chart, a design doc review meeting involving 3 teams can't be scheduled until the week after next because we need the 12-seat conference rooms in 2 offices to be free at the same time.

- The head of HR has an office with a door that closes -- for good reason! But for this reason they did not suffer reduced productivity when listening to music through their headphones for 8 hours a day simultaneously caused tinnitus and failed to fully drown out the sale bro one row of desks away.

Simple Monitoring for Lambdas
Hey everyone,

Ever tried adding logging to your Lambda functions and felt like there were a ton of hoops to jump through? I've been an engineer for a while and see this problem come up a lot.

I've been working on a tool to make monitoring for lambdas possible with just a few lines of code.

Typically, setting up a CloudWatch forwarder into an observability platform requires manual configuration through the AWS console or Terraform. This process often results in dropped log structures, missing attributes, and the added burden of configuring static attributes. In the worst case, you can accidentally end up with a new monitoring host for each Lambda invocation, which can cause your monitoring costs to skyrocket.

I started https://iudex.ai to simplify this process -- among other issues with modern observability...

Our solution is easy to set up and manage, saving time and reducing costs. If you'd like to sign up:

If you have any other monitoring difficulties, drop them here! I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences!
On version 129 I've been playing with the CSS to make the tabs wider and thinner. Because of some code in tabbrowser.js I couldn't work around with css, it needs user_pref("ui.prefersReducedMotion", 1) for changing max width to not break tab closing.

I don't really see those rebuttals as all that valid. The reasons given in this article are completely valid, from my perspective of someone who's worked heavily with Kubernetes/ECS.

Helm, for instance, is a great time saver for installing software. Often software will support nothing but helm. Ease of deployment is a good consideration. Their points on networking are absolutely spot on. The scaling considerations are spot on. Killing/isolating unhealthy containers is completely valid. I could go on a lot more, but I don't see a single point listed as invalid.
It sounds like you still had a day job independent of it. It's probably a great highlight on your resume that is celebrated when brought up and opens doors.

> If you decide to do in-house, I’d recommend thinking about competing against existing as a new revenue stream, and spinning it off as a separate business unit as much as possible.

That’s taking the second step before the first. If this is going to work at all, first try to build a solution that works for you. Once you have that, then there may be a chance that others will find it useful as well, but it is a whole lot of additional work to turn an in-house solution into a proper product, and your in-house needs are unlikely to translate 1:1 to other companies, and vice versa.
The Many Reasons Why NCMEC’s Board Is Failing Its Mission, From A NCMEC Insider

Knowing stack ranking is in effect completely changes the work dynamics. Should I help my coworker through a problem? End of the month, my KPIs might be negatively impacted, whereas theirs were boosted. Performance now becomes singularly competitive where you would rather have some chaff losers on the team.

I disagree. I booked a train ticket online at one single place. It was a single ticket with a QR Code. It had connections. I don't care who the underlying providers are. I paid to one entity. It was their job, not mine to track.
As an owner of a System76 laptop I'm really conflicted on this stuff.

On the one hand, I'm glad to see developer attention given to the Linux desktop. I use and like GNOME well enough, but it's great to see competition and innovation.

On the other... I guess when I buy System76, I'm effectively paying a markup to subsidize development of these side projects (I'll never use pop_OS for example).

As somebody who's looking to just buy a computer, it makes justifying the expense of System76 a little more difficult. There are other Clevo rebadgers, after all.
Yes and no. On the one hand, fixing those processes is a much bigger impact, you're 100% correct. But on the other hand, I as an individual can do exactly nothing to affect it. While my personal environmental impact is much smaller, I actually can control it. So both are valuable to think about in different ways.
It's not about burnout. It's about otherwise competent engineers who are paralyzed by fear of making a mistake.

Finding a productive place for them, where their expertise counts, but peoples' lives don't hang on the results, is just good management.
I would like to see Evernote's AI evolve to a point where it would process my ~4500 item knowledge base (KB) of personal notes, clipping and documents, and then allow me to ask questions that would be answered based on that volume of information.

If everyone who was soliciting was like Doctors without Borders, there wouldn't be a problem. That's a worthy cause.

Beyond the technical reasons for the limit, it provides for a relatively painless way to begin to build out/for RISC-V[1] without an uncomfortable transition. For those who just want a better next iteration of the controller, they have it. For those who build tools, want to A/B test the architectures, or just do whatever with RISC-V, they have that too. All without necessarily setting the expectation that both will continue to coexist long term.

[1] While it's possible they are envisioning dual architecture indefinitely, it's hard to imagine why this would be desirable long term esp. when one architecture can be royalty free and the other not, power efficiency, paying for dark silicon etc.
Actually, this was the first Pascal faithful to the standard that ran on a diskless machine.

He didn't say that one shouldn't have kids due to environmental impact, he was just putting it in perspective. The point was that if you have kids, and if you don't worry about the environmental impact they cause, then you shouldn't worry about the much smaller impact of a Raspberry Pi either.

Reads more like a screed than an essay. I agree with other commenter so far argument provided is weak. I found lots of false equivalencies, and unsupported logic. This one example was striking:

> But like all organisms, modifying our environment is how we live.

This is seemingly a tautology and/or trivially true. Of course organisms existing within and as part of an environment change it by their very existence. If there is a more profound statement here, it must be proven.

> To limit it is to limit human life.

Nope, this does not follow (even if the premise were true). False dichotomy.

Consider, if we limit the behavior of an unruly dog, are we limiting dog life? Maybe, but if we tell the dog "bad dog" when it is chewing the couch, is dog life therefore limited?

> To limit us, and not other animals, is to single out humans for punishment and degradation.

The premise is flawed, therefore the conclusion is moot. Further, this is an appeal to emotion & not reason. To which my response is, even if the premise were valid- so f'in what? Is it really a bad thing? Is human nature so good that limiting it is invariably bad? Why then do we have laws and government? What is more, why should we consider treating humans equally to other organisms as equitable? Is there no distinction between humans and other organisms?

Humans drive other species to extinction - so perhaps holding ourselves back a little (also called restraint) is not a bad thing (even if it does not feel great, it is perhaps an example of a local minima being a global maximum). The author does not discuss or acknowledge other possibilities either, which is a false dichotomy.
