The conundrum of "[xyz] annoys me, but not enough to [do anything about it], yet I hope [Company] will be forced to improve [xyz]"

So where is that 'force' expected to come from...?

Haven't tried it. S3 Tables sounds like a great idea. However, I am wary. For it to be useful, a suite of AWS services probably needs to integrate with it. These services are all managed by different teams that don't always work well together out of the box and often compete with redundant products. For example, configuring SageMaker Studio to use an EMR cluster for Spark was a multi-day hassle with a lot of custom (insecure?) configuration. How is this different from other existing table offerings? AWS is a mess.
In California, as a non-exempt employee (basically not a manager if you're at a big company), you'd have to be paid for that on-call time with those requirements. The key term is "restricted" and the 10 minute expectation is quite a severe restriction.

I agree and disagree. Yes, everything ML is branded AI these days. On the other hand, route optimization on maps would have been legitimately hailed as a breakthrough not that long ago.
For those wondering about AMD performance, I did some very brief testing. I have an Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card and a Ryzen 7800X3D running Fedora 41 with Proton Experimental on a 1920x1200 display.

I booted into the Ravenholm level and immediately got mid-50 FPS with no obvious stuttering. The framerate jumped over 70 once I got inside the first couple buildings. Those framerates are not ideal given the cost of my hardware, but I'd consider them to be perfectly playable. Or at least I would if not for the bigger problem...

The image quality was extremely blurry such that I could not clearly see anything over 10ft/3m away. There were no obvious graphics options I could change to fix this. I don't know if this is a result of some upscaling tech not working with my AMD card, a weird Proton issue, an anti-aliasing or depth-of-field feature gone horribly wrong, or something else entirely. Regardless, I'd consider it to be unplayable until the blur issue is resolved.

I think it's reasonable too, but it also means I don't want to pony up $150 now to potentially have the seller renege and (hopefully) refund me later. I can make use that $150 between then and now.

For those who have not heard of them - it's basically asset and vulnerability management for absolutely everything you have running in the cloud. This includes stuff running in your k8s clusters, etc. And they do all this without having to manage a fleet of agents on everything and costing you money in resource usage.

Yeah, well many Tesla owners are victims of wanting to do better for the environment in the way that they could before Elon went full psyop.

The difference here is that Twitter users are still actively perpetrating and reinforcing his platform to speak dangerous nonsense. The Tesla income was reported on a shareholder filing, for many, before 2020, and realistically doesn't matter anymore.

If someone still has Twitter, they are shockingly accepting of the goings on.

As when graphic artists draw on, and interact with, a tablet, while watching a screen, rather than using a tablet display. Similarly, while I enjoy the feel of a thinkpad keyboard, I do wish it did whole-surface multitouch and stylus and richly dynamic UI as well. So I tried kludging a flop-up overhead keyboard cam, and displaying it raw-ish as a faint screen overlay, depth segregated by offsetting it slightly above the shutter-glasses-3D screen. In limited use (panel didn't like being flickered), I recall it as... sort of tolerable. Punted next steps included seeing if head-motion perspective 3D was sufficient for segregation, and using the optical tracking to synthesize a less annoying overlay. (A ping-pong ball segment lets a stylus glide over keys.)
Agreed. People just can't read. I think this is one of many upstream causes of the current political landscape. When faced with reading a corporate financial statement, any laws, scientific papers, municipal budgets, or even an article in WSJ or The Atlantic, people are unable to proceed. So a defense mechanism comes up: "it's all just lies, anyway." Then they go and find a tweet or watch TV.

With Spotify app, some issues seem to be due to Spotify themselves. For example, even when you explicitly download music to your watch, the app needs network connection to start playing. This seems to be explicit design decision on Spotify's part.
I read Darwin recently and he talks about how weak insects will use deception methods to compensate for their lack of strength and it reminded me of Apple.

They arent the best, they are never 1st, they are 2nd or third or beyond.

Instead they found niches in marketing. Read the word "Security" or "Privacy" in white and black text in their commercials, no actual claims on either. Just the words. They have stylish products with their celebrities, dancing people, and blue bubbles. None add to the strength to the product. In the LLM world, they've tricked people into thinking 'unified RAM' and integrated video cards are equivalent to an Nvidia GPU.

Specifically on topic, iPhones seemed to always under perform in features. This is yet another example.

Their track record makes it obvious, but most consumers won't notice. That is why the deception works. I used to be an Android Zealot who preached the immorality of Apple, but I genuinely stopped caring that other people were making mistakes and Apple was exploiting them. If anything, I take notes personally how to be more like Apple, save my strength and get positive outcomes.
Already done, news came out of it in the last day.

> Some companies don’t pay any differential

This is quite scummy unless your role's primary duties are support and nothing else. I would count Site Reliability Engineer as support being a primary duty, while I would not count Software Engineer as support being a primary duty.

> Some companies only pay out _per incident_

That's a bad incentive. It incentivices more incidents to occur.

> One company I worked with paid out per shift of on-call rotation

Sounds decent on paper but everyone has their breaking point!

> One company treated it as overtime pay

This is a pretty idealistic and unrealistic take on human behavior. I realize a lot of software types like to pooh-pooh soft skills and think that the ideal is that people can always be Perfect Rational Beings. But this is not how actual humans operate, not even software people.

It's one thing to use a software career to explore the things that give you joy. Building software is fun. But it's another thing to use it to run away from things you're intimidated by, like interacting with other people or empathizing with them. "I got into software so I wouldn't have to deal with people" is a joke, but it's not really a realistic way of approaching the world beyond the very junior level.

You can either rant about how people should be or meet them as they actually are.
It’s been happening for thousands of years. Many of the ancient planned cities started out ok but eventually ran out of groundwater and were abandoned.

Just a guess, but Nordic pushes a proprietary bluetooth stack. You don't have to use it, but it's the fastest way to get up and running.

In embedded device development we still use "master" and "slave" a lot. There's been jokes about MicroSoft since the 80's as well.
I think, we fundamentally lack a mechanism to enforce secure / privacy aware APIs without resorting to trusted inner-circle type of things. I am already not comfortable with Apple picking winners (such as giving Zoom special entitlement but not the VOIP apps you want to distribute by your own). Apple trusting their own apps more than other apps is another symptom of this and it is not helping their anti-trust situation even if it is with good-will.

And "giving people choice" won't work neither because people will just tap whatever checkbox you give them (the internet should never forget that Facebook SDK just forces to accept "The App is Tracking You" notification and most users tapped yes).
No, because it's much lower friction to "just" give up and buy an Apple Watch (or just do without), even if you don't like it and think that the features or design a third-party watch are better for you. Or at least could be better, if not for Apple's anti-competitive practices.

The problem is that people don't really have choice. Both iOS and Android have positives and negatives, and often those positives and negatives are not the same. Choosing one or the other is going to have you missing some positives you want, and taking on some negatives that bug you.

If this was just the nature of how things have to be, I'd be more sympathetic. But the real reason it's this way is due to anti-competitive behavior on the part of Apple. There are no technical limitations; it's just their business model to restrict what people can do with the device they've bought. There are certainly some valid security reasons for doing this in some cases, but most of it is just to protect their revenue streams.

As a data engineering dabbler; parquet in S3 is beautiful. So is DuckDB. What an incredible match.
Played a bit as "oxer", agree on all notes about the gameplay being steered towards observing and competing rather than collaboration.
A few notes:

- Maybe flagging shouldn't trigger correctness checks: in traditional minesweeper, placing a flag is just a marker of "I believe there is a bomb here.", but to actually know you need to check.

- Chording doesn't seem to be fully taken into account: sometimes clicking a single empty spot will open up a large area, but still only counts as one point. Maybe if flags aren't checked, chording can become "dangerous" as it'll check multiple possible bombs.

- Not a fan of the action limit, but it serves as a skill leveler of sorts. With a ranking system in place it probably wouldn't be necessary from a gameplay perspective.

- If the objective is a collaborative experience, maybe taking a spin on the game, like adding turns or planning, would be nice

Really fun
> I don't know if it's true

There are polls about this that you could easily look up. Is your position that if most Israelis affirmatively support atrocities like this, the rest of the world should just pretend like we never saw that?

> America has killed at least 100x more civilians than Israel has

These aren't mutually exclusive. Israel is one of America's proxies. I'd support the international community putting sanctions on the US to put a stop to these things, but unfortunately it's not likely to happen because the US is the world's largest superpower and controls the global reserve currency, so it can operate with a degree of impunity. Is that a good situation, that you want to replicate around the world?

> no one on his right mind would demonize ordinary Americans

When the overwhelming majority of a country supports committing atrocities, it's not "demonizing" them to point that out.

> to be persecuted everywhere they step on earth.

Apparently it's "persecution" when people say that enthusiastically participating in a genocidal ethno-state's secret police means your company shouldn't get 32 billion dollars.
Did you try applying for Israeli citizenship? AFAIK being a follower of Judaism is a requirement. Source: a Christian Jew being denied a citizenship due to this reason.
Yeah but I think that's only a factor in the consideration. I doubt it cancels out identical and very distinct names.
I think "price" is an imprecise term that could refer to the pre-tax/tariff amount or the post-tax/tariff amount. It would include shipping, if there is no other way to get the device (as is the case here).

But regardless, they're not saying they would increase the "price" (whatever that means), but just that if the tariff situation changes, then the customer will need to pay the additional tariff. This is the same as what would happen if a state increased the sales tax rate and they had to collect and remit additional sales tax. It just so happens that it's unlikely any state is going to sharply increase its sales tax in the next year, but there's a decent chance the tariff rate will jump. If the sales tax went up, I wouldn't consider that to be the company raising the price. Same for tariffs, in my book.
Deel is the worst. I had to use them to be paid as a contractor. This was ok for about two years. Then Deel decided it wanted to force everyone to be paid using their Deel Wallet, a stored balance visa card. The terms and conditions of the Deel Wallet would force arbitration, allowed arbitrary changes to deposit and withdrawal terms and came with a $1000 penalty of one should choose to file a legal claim against Deel Wallet..
Which is still valuable to some extent.
Yes, it looks like Apple "won" their reciprocal patent cases against Masimo but basically got $250 for it, and no injunction. The case against Apple is still blocking them from selling watches with oximetry.

Apparently this depends on where people are. It is not used a lot in US English, but it is used a lot in African English.

Part of training LLMs involves extensive human feedback, and many LLM makers outsource that to Africa to save money. The LLMs then pick up and use African English.

It’s likely a priority issue. They have limited software resources but have so many products to support and develop, they will like any company weight what fits their future roadmap and strategy. Saying they purposely hobble watch devs isn’t really true
Sounds like the an archetype of the classic politician lie. "If you give me more power I will solve everything." Combine that with the general "central planner's megalomania" where they think they know every last detail of how things should run without regards to any input of the inhabitants.

If necessary, you can even retroactively ban the competitor's app from the App Store that you control.

As pretext, you can say the competitor's app is doing something now considered insecure or not privacy-respecting, or is not compliant with some new user experience or quality curation that you do.

I hate to break it to you, but you get to write software because you work for a company that needs to generate revenue in order to pay your salary, pay the bills, and give a dividend to its shareholders. That is why "corpo MBA" people exist.

Inconveniently for some software types, the world doesn't and shouldn't revolve around software development.

You've got to work on something where there's an immediate distribution channel and customers. Don't work on anything so speculative as this, where you're just hoping there will be someone who wants it.

You have to know how you're going to sell it before you build it. There are only a handful of things that work, which other people are using and you can copy.
Yeah, going for a run or a dinner where you might be able to ack but not actually at keys for 10-20 minutes is one thing. Going to a movie or date where you might not even ack and won't be at keys for hours? Not cool at all.

Perhaps a trademark lawyer can weigh in. My understanding is that a trademark is strictly limited to the areas (both in terms of geography and vertical) claimed in the application. This is why Apple didn't have to do battle with the Beatles until they got into the music business.
