I regularly have users run Sysprof and upload it to issues. It's immensely powerful to be able to see what is going on systems which are having issues. I'd argue it's one of the major reasons GNOME performance has gotten so much better in the recent-past.

You can't do that when step one is reinstall another distro and reproduce your problem.

Additionally, the overhead for performance related things that could fall into the 1% range (hint, it's not much) rarely are using the system libraries in such a way anyway that would cause this. They can compile that app with frame-pointers disabled. And for stuff where they do use system libraries (qsort, bsearch, strlen, etc) the frame pointer is negligible to the work being performed. You're margin of error is way larger than the theoretical overhead.

Yeah, exactly. Containers locally are a basic foundation. But usually those containers or services need to talk to one another, they need some form of auth and credentials, they need some networking setup. There's a lot of configuration in all of that. The more devs swap projects or the more complex the thing you're working on the more the challenge grows. Automating depedencies, secret access, ensuring projects have the right memory, cpu, gpu etc. Also security - moving source code off your laptop and devices and standardizing your setups helps if you need to do a lot of audit and compliance as you can automate it.
If you're going to be arbitrary then you might as well not use a detailed CoC. Pretending to not be arbitrary when you are being arbitrary just makes you phony and lame.
In my experience, the case where this becomes really valuable is if your team needs access to either different kinds of hardware or really expensive hardware that changes relatively quickly (i.e. GPUs). At a previous small startup I setup https://devpod.sh/ (similar to gitpod) for our MLE/Data team. It was a big pro to leverage our existing k8s setup w/ little configuration needed to get these developer envs up and running as-needed, and we could piggyback off of our existing cost tracking tooling to measure usage, but I do feel like we already had infra conducive to running dev envs on k8s before making this decision -- we had cost tracking tooling, we had a dedicated k8s cluster for tooling, we had already been supporting GPU based workloads in k8s, and our platform team that managed all the k8s infra also were the SMEs for anything devenv releated. In a world where we started fresh and absolutely needed ephemeral devenvs, I think the native devcontainer functionality in vscode or something like github codespaces would have been our go to, but even then I'd push for a docker-compose based workflow prior to touching any of these other tools.

The rest of our eng team just did dev on their laptops though. I do think there was a level of batteries-included-ness that came with the ephemeral dev envs which our less technical data scientists appreciated, but the rest of our developers did not. Just my 2c

Yeah, and there's also no rule that says that other people can't tell you to shut up.
Edited my post to remove a statement when I remembered I don't want to discuss politics here.

It was a cogent response to my original post, and I will yield the point, though I don't fully agree with it.
Advice on Internationalization
TBH I haven't seen a single use of LLMs in games that wasn't better served by traditional algorithms beyond less repetitive NPC interactions. Maybe once they get good enough to create usable rigged and textured meshes with enough control to work in-game? They can't create a story on the fly that's reliable enough to be a compelling accompaniment to a coherent game plot. Maps and such don't seem to need anything beyond what current procedural algorithms provide, and they're still working with premade assets— the implementations I've seen can't even reliably place static meshes on the ground in believable positions. And as far as NPCs go— how far does that actually go? It's pure novelty worth far less than an hour of time. Let's even say you get a guided plot progression worded on the fly using an LLM, is that even as good, let alone better, than a dialog tree put together by a professional writer?

This Civ idea at least seems like a new approach to some extent, but it still seems to conceptually not add much. Even if not, learning that it doesn't it's still worthwhile. But almost universally these ideas seem to be either buzzwordy solutions in search of problems, or a cheaper-than-people source of creativity with some serious quality tradeoffs and still require far too much developer wrangling to actually save money.

I'm a tech artist so I'm a bit biased towards the value of human creativity, but also likely the primary demographic for LLM tools in game dev. I am, so far, not compelled.
> As a foreigner

I strongly suspect that, as usual in discussions like this, by “foreigner” you specifically mean “European” or “Canadian” or “Australian”.

The US is surely not alone in having a relative lack of legally mandated job security.
Formal performance reviews are a modest corrective measure to a vibes-based approach, where managers give you a raise or fire you based on their informal assessments of you. Hardly any better for neurodivergent people. The only true alternative to performance review culture is a seniority system, where you're an interchangeable cog paid whatever the manual says cogs your age deserve.
This is based on a Chinese company. Not to dismiss their experience but the work ethic and culture is very different from US.

Most companies in China are already RTO + 996. One company loose the strap a bit to allow hybrid is a huge moral boost.

Also mandating a schedule is much easier in Asia than US. Not just for cultural reasons, but also the urbanization and public service availability in Asia metro areas makes it so much easier to manage personal schedules for employees.
Honestly, how is that news?

The 2nd quote is kind of funny, but the first one isn’t.

Tech generates more money than the Times. It makes sense that the employees should be paid to reflect that.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with high paid workers striking for even higher pay.
It’s not like the suits don’t hoard bonuses for themselves.
More than a few do not. You shouldn’t have to barely scrape by as a single parent in one of the most wealthy countries in the world.

Probably not many explicitly, but I bet it contributes to a lot of shoppers thinking the appliance is "sleek" or "modern". Touch screens have been a big design fad in recent years and design fads sell products.

I'm hopeful that the tide is turning on these designs as more people have to use them day to day and realize that touchscreens are categorically worse than tactile controls in a number of scenarios.
I think the issue is that it comes off as egregiously woke.

One possible issue is that the largest component (27% out of 26%) is `OER`, which can be detached from reality.

Unless owners are completely in the loop in terms of the rental market (which they likely are not, they don't rent), they may not come up with good estimates for what an equivalent rent would be.
Yes, it's in there. But also, IMO, oer is a dreadful metric. It's very laggy, and more opinionated that it ought to be. Rent is rent, but oer seems neither fish nor fowl. It's a wild survey guess that's off by 6 months.
This doesn't account for the fact that cost of living doesn't rise at the same rate everywhere. You can't just use national statistics for this. It's entirely possible that in NYC the cost of living went up more than 2x since the 2000s.

QSound was magic at the time. We had a DSP class in my EE degree where we implemented a very minor transform that would shift position of audio and it was wild.

It's impossible to get 3D audio to be absolutely as flawless as the real world because human ears all vary slightly and your 3D spacial perception of sound is literally tuned on your own ears, but QSound's transfer functions come as close as you can get.

The algorithm also falls apart a bit outside of the sweet spot, and is really only useful in headphones and specific cases where a human is known to be placed in a certain location relative to speakers.

The original model was developed using a simulated human head and lots of hand-tuning. I am curious if we've advanced far enough with tech that a more modern set of transfer function parameters could be developed.

Nothing beats N speakers for positional audio, but this is a pretty decent replacement if the conditions are ideal.

OpenAL was designed as an open-source library to bring 3D audio to the masses in the same way that OpenGL did (basically exposing QSound/equivalent hardware on sound cards to an API), but I'm not sure what happened to it [1].

This got lost in the shuffle, and was worth paying attention to.
But it's a reasonable offer, there is no clarity in the article about exactly what is so bad they need to strike.

Eg if they said we haven't had a pay rise for ten years, that would provide context.

Nothing in the article gives a justification for a strike. That's not to say the justification doesn't exist but it's not remotely elucidated.
I find that people who are vocal about such stuff fall into extremes. I guess that's true of extremes in general. They tend to be the noisiest. (The converse isn't necessarily true, of course.)

On the one hand, you have NIMBYs who will block good development for arbitrary and self-destructive reasons, or selfishly support such measures, as long as they're in other neighborhoods.

On the other hand, you have people who redefine "NIMBY" to mean "things I don't like" and use it as a bludgeon to bully and intimidate. So, if a neighborhood doesn't want a loud outdoor concert venue built in the middle of it, then people from other neighborhoods who want the concern venue will call those who refuse in the neighborhood in question NIMBYs. This is ironic, given that they themselves are behaving exactly like NIMBYs: build the concert venue, but not in my backyard!
They're not disguised at all.

The stated purpose of these economic sanctions is to degrade the ability of an authoritarian regime from functioning to reduce the threat that it poses in the region and bring about political and economic change.
I have a good job in the Bay Area, and I spend 4K a month. Of course if I were a family, there is no way I could support a wife in 4K a month but that is rare anyway. If she were working too, I could surely support a child in 6k a month. At this cost my life includes:

1. A Tesla Model 3, on which I spend 1k a month with insurance

2. 1.5k rent for a studio in a good safe location with utilities

3. Rest on groceries, eating out movies etc.

If I decided to get a cheap car, I could easily have 600$ or more to spend on housing etc.
So it would be tight but as a single 20s male, I would make it with 50k a year after taxes. Everything else just goes into savings. I think people have lavish tastes, or no control over their spending if they can’t make do with 70k a year after taxes.

My perspective as well. When I was high school and college I went on a few cruises with my elderly grandparents. We had a blast. Every morning you wake up in a new city without the bother of packing bags or spending any time actually going there. Unlike airports, piers are frequently in the oldest most interesting part of the city and you can directly walk to see quite a bit.
Personally - just let the developer own the machine they use for development.

If you really need consistency for the environment - Let them own the machine, and then give them a stable base VM image, and pay for decent virtualization tooling that they run... on their own machine.

I have seen several attempts to move dev environments to a remote host. They invariably suck.

Yes - that means you need to pay for decent hardware for your devs, it's usually cheaper than remote resources (for a lot of reasons).

Yes - that means you need to support running your stack locally. This is a good constraint (and a place where containers are your friend for consistency).

Yes - that means you need data generation tooling to populate a local env. This can be automated relatively well, and it's something you need with a remote env anyways.

---

The only real downside is data control (ie - the company has less control over how a developer manages assets like source code). I'm my experience, the vast majority of companies should worry less about this - your value as a company isn't your source code in 99.5% of cases, it's the team that executes that source code in production.

If you're in the 0.5% of other cases... you know it and you should be in an air-gapped closed room anyways (and I've worked in those too...)
Nobody will know for sure until a big budget game is actually released with a serious effort behind its NPCs.
Wasn't git developed to move kernel development workflow away from email?
I managed reviews like this as a team lead, manager, and director at three startups. There are a lot of misconceptions from employees about the process.

It's true that managers have a lot of latitude to read self summaries and either amplify or disregard them. The #1 thing you can do to avoid problems with your own reviews is to actually understand what your manager's and the company's priorities are and align your work to them. I have given poor reviews to people who invested lots of time and energy in projects and probably even did good work on them, because they were _completely_ off strategy and completed before anyone who knew better could tell them they were a waste of time and energy.

This isn't malevolent. It's because every manager is tasked with supporting the company's overall goals, frequently with very limited resources. Work that veers off into left field, even when perceived as valuable from the employee's or peer's perspective, is basically lost opportunity to do something more valuable. And that gets very expensive when trying to grow quickly.

If you want to get ahead, you and your manager need to work together to make sure the work delivers results, is aligned with strategy, is timely, and is visible to other managers and execs. Hit all four, and the need for recognition is obvious. I've seen execs argue against managers that individuals deserve promotion. Miss one, and you're probably relying on your manager's good will and clout to make the case.

If the work is not aligned with strategy or didn't deliver results but took a lot of time, your manager will look like a fool arguing that you deserve recognition for it.

Also, re: exceeding expectations, this comes up in every org and with every team. Everyone is always graded on a curve, both within your individual team and across each exec's organization. This is because the budget for compensation is fixed ahead of time based on assumptions about the percentage of employees that will exceed expectations. As long as each exec gets roughly the expected number of employees exceeding and meeting expectations, their recommendations for promotions, bonuses, and comp adjustments will likely be approved.

If the ratio for a given exec is out of whack, the only options are:
1) Get it back in line,
2) Take budget from someone else, or
3) Increase the compensation budget.

(3) frequently can't be done without board approval, so is not really an option. (2) is going to start a knife fight between execs over whose employees deserve it more, which nobody wants. This leaves (1). This is why alignment and upward and outward visibility is so important - it banks you social capital with the people who have to allocate limited resources.

>And ofcourse all the items in fruits and vegetables had the highest inflation.

A simple check shows this is false. The "Cereals and bakery products" category went up by 28.6% since January 2020, compared to 17.9% for "Fruits and Vegetables". You get similar conclusions if you use compare against January 2005.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that means Meta will be wholesale analyzing everyone's posts. Any user could be a teen. Text as well as images might offer clues.

A wage is debt, so not beneficial in and of itself. It can be beneficial when you call the debt and turn it into something tangible (e.g. food), of course, but that is also of benefit to the business who derives joy in giving you that food. It is not for the benefit of workers. It is for the benefit of everyone.
Are you being flippant, or is there really a sense in which eigenvectors are relevant to Haskell? To the best of my knowledge despite all the category-theoretical goodness in the language, there's no meaningful language-level connection to linear algebra, -XLinearTypes notwithstanding.

“The so-called lawful-access system breached by the Salt Typhoon hackers was established by telecom carriers after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, to allow federal law enforcement officials to execute legal warrants for records of Americans’ phone activity or to wiretap them in real time, depending on the warrant.”

I have no real comment, other than to parrot what others have said for decades: a back door for the “good guys” can be used by the bad guys, too.

Yeah but if they're remote they can live in cheaper parts of the country so the 100K+ range of inner expensive cities is less justified and they're competing on a country wide market.

Forgotten not in the sense of lost knowledge, but more that the individual is not known proportionally to the importance of his work, or perhaps consistently when compared to his peers.

While specialists in his field know his work and his name (but not even everyone in software does), the public do not.

While your parents and friends see the dramatised exploits of Turing in films like The Imitation Game, or his face on the currency, the same is not said for Church.

Every field has it's public heroes, usually related to the stature of their work - Fleming and Jenner, Marconi, Ford, Bell. Turing.

Anyone will at least recognise these names, but not so for Church.
All those things don't come from Crumb, they are hallucinations by the article's author. If you stick strictly to what Crumb said about it, the story is quite different.

Also, https://www.janisjoplin.net/life/friends/robert-crumb/, mentions none of that.

But yeah, some random neckbeard's blog is more authoritative than Janis' own site, for sure!

(Also, if you knew a bit about Crumb you'd know it's the type of guy that just wouldn't do stuff he was not interested in.)
Nah this is just false. I'm a founder and pay myself less than our employees, 70k does just fine. I define just fine as 'enough so you don't have to be distracted by coupon clipping for daily necessities, and can still travel on trips and buy splurge purchases like a fancy rice cooker or designer couch or fancy cocktails.'

I live alone in a 2br. I don't have assistance from family or a partner.

Now, I do not live in a luxury building, and I am not building up a nest egg from my salary. And I rent. But when people think about the costs of NYC, a lot of people forget that you don't need a car, car insurance, or gas.

Where you get into trouble is if you're paying a stupid large amount for rent. It is very possible to pay 1-2k / month in rent. Most people who move to the city at that budget live with roommates initially, but most find a really good deal, sometimes rent controlled, organically through networks after a year or two of living here. Deals are hard to find as they should be, but certainly exist, and most longterm locals have a great deal.

The more I stare at this the more I think that using official inflation numbers / using the official CPI is wrong -- these baskets combine recreation and technology being nearly -50% (TVs can be had today for $300, whereas they used to cost $500 in 1995 dollars), assume you only buy new cars (only up ~25% since 2000, but used cars are now almost as expensive as new whereas they used to be available for half the price or less), and underweight housing (basically doubled since 2000, worse if you need to move to a HCOL major urban center for employment).

If you are a healthy person living frugally then I think the inflation in your personal basket of goods is actually higher than the fed numbers would dictate (esp for rent and housing).
Well the arguments are many, and the counter-arguments also many. The point of my comment was not say that the (typically European) system is better, but it's not like described as parent commenter where you cannot fire people and are stuck with too much staff. That is not the case. I wasn't really arguing for it being better for the company and/or society.

Relevant skill could be proper cause. You can absolutely fire someone for not having the skills you need and hire someone else with the right skillset.
